Alternatives

Step Three of AA is so opaque as to be wholly subjective, leading me into the "BIG BOOK"-- I'm going to have to read this thing before I continue my journey down the road of alternative steps, as well as perform more than superficial research on the subject.  However, in the interests of actually posting here, this will be an ongoing project.  Ultimately, I'd like to synthesize all available treatment options and provide a bit of a resource guide of sorts, at least a quick one.  Watch for that as time goes by.  For now, note that there are some other methods toward sobriety that I should go look at, like Rational Recovery, the makers the of the Small Book.
