I Need Help With My Drug Addiction, but Have a Problem With 12 Step Groups!!!?

Question by Kim T: I need help with my drug addiction, but have a problem with 12 step groups!!!?
I have been using drugs for years. I was clean for almost a year and was going to meetings but had a hard time believing everything they preached, such as you have to go for the rest of your life, don’t think, don’t ask questions, and if you don’t believe in a higher power you are basically doomed. Any suggestions out there as to an alternative to AA and NA. I really want help…
