It's true that everyone is different and it's a rare person who does it without support, I commend you for that. Serious regret over behavior can help people change as you did.
But for most AA, or NA or GA or any of the twelve step programs are quite effective IF the person wants to change their behavior.
Without a support system most will fall back into old behaviors. That's the nature of addiction.
I've met and known MANY addicts over the years (it's part of my faith walk), so I'm not talking through my hat here.
