> People are often ordered by the courts to attend AA as an alternative to prison (for such offenses as DWI), and in such cases I would say it's coercive. Also, a lot of people don't know about the alternatives like RR and SMART (both of these are self-help groups with a cognitive-behavioral approach); they think AA is the only group that can help them.

Elizabeth,Please tell us more about RR and SMART. Are these programs offered by treatment centers? Do they have online support groups or face to face meetings?
