I too had a problem with AA. I have been in recovery now for just over 5 years. I actually went to the NA program, I found it more progressive, spiritual but not in a specific religion, and the idea is that addiction is the disease, not the substance you use whether it be drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes. There are non-smoking meetings, and women only meetings. I too was VERY hesitant to get involved in a "group" but it has proven to be a great support for me. Good luck to you!
