Joe C replied to Jeff Dempsey's discussion Atheist Advice For A Drug Addict or Alcoholic
"AA (NA etc) work for me. Sure it was written from a Christian context but this is the 21st century. I relied on Living Sober in the early years. It's a secular look at AA life published by AA in the 1970s.
There is a lot of great literature by…"

"NA did come out with a new book called Living Clean in 2012. Not unlike AA's Living Sober it doesn't really look at the 12 Steps but more of the practical aspects of incorporating healthy living in a crazy world and some of the age-old…"
