I need to find some kind of secular help for gambling that does not involve turning my life over to a higher power. I am an atheist and these religious or quasi religious 12 step programs do not work for me. Some people may not perceive 12-step programs to be religious, but my perception is that they are, and that limits their usefulness to me. I don't want to get in an argument about whether 12-step programs are religious or not. Let's just say that whether or not they actually are religious, they feel like they are to me.
