Are there any good alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous?

Question by Greyshoeswalk: Are there any good alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous?
I went to enter a program or somehow get help for my alcohol addiction. I don’t really want to go to AA because I have intense anxiety about speaking in front of a lot of people and I doubt that any kind of treatment would work if I wasn’t able to share my thoughts. It also seems too much like a cult to me.
Any suggestions or success stories to an alternative?

Yes, go see your doctor and get yourself a referral to see a psychologist or a drug and alcohol social worker.

He/she will help you on a one on one, to get over any addiction and anxiety you have. Without getting your head done in by any of the AA cult BS or religious crap and being forced to listen to hard luck stories.
