In your search of alternatives did you try meditation? I noticed that when I did TM or centering prayer twice a day for six months, with a little yoga thrown in, I couldn't drink 2 beers.
I discovered that I couldn't do both - meditate and drink. Eventually, I found my way back to drinking and gave up meditation. Now I'm trying to meditate again but it's really hard to settle down.
I'm not in any sort of program. I'm so isolated I sometimes have difficulty even speaking on the phone - I mean, I don't talk to anyone for a week at a time and forget how to make the sounds. AA Meetings and church are simply beyond my ability right now; or at least way out of my comfort zone - which seems to be expanding.
Tom Hanks in the movie "Castaway" had more conversations with his soccer ball.
