If you want a secular addiction support resource try http://www.smartrecovery.org/ they seem to be on the level.

One thing I never hear people talk about is the medication available. Since last April I've have 2 months and a week where I drank due to falling off the wagon. But what's helped me the most was Antabuse. I take the pill and then I don't have the option to drink. It clears me mentally to do other stuff with my brain. So, talk to your doctor about medication like Naltrexone or Antabuse. And if popping a pill that makes you incredibly sick if you try to drink sounds like an impossible task, you might need in-patient.

Binge drinking it's done of the worst drinking you can do.

It's sad that addicts often drag down those around them into their downward spiral. Please think of your loved ones.

Try drinking a nice refreshing coconut water after your bike ride.

Telling people they are bad people and need to "improve themself" is very ineffective. Good people are good people whether they are addicts or not.
