Celebrate Recovery is Christ-based 12 steps; the CR program has been growing very fast. The problem with AA and the “secular” program is Step 3 and Step 10, where they talk about “God as we understood Him”. Members drive a truck through that loophole, so much so that if someone says that Jesus is God then they are very likely to get keyed up on for “bringing religion to the forum”.

Here is the link to Celebrate Recovery. My wife started a chapter at our Church nearly 12 years ago and has been a state rep (Ohio) for about 7-8 years. Biblically-based approach to dealing with all additions - alcohol, chemical dependency, porn, gambling ... etc. Also with grief and emotional loss.

I’m in the middle of starting Depression Anonymous/CR/Christ-based 12 Step groups in Silicon Valley. Notably, CR says on its material that it works for (as you say) alcohol, chemical dependency, porn, gambling. even Anger & Codependency, but it does not mention Depression. And Bill Wilson, who gave us this wonderful program in which tens of millions have experienced victory over addiction — he himself suffered from depression and was never able to conquer it. He left that to the next generation, which is... us.
