It is based in modern psychology rather than superstition and mythology. And if anyone tries to tell you what to do, you are allowed to tell them to go and take a flying ***k at a rolling donut... Online resources are online meetings, an email list and a message board. And they have FTF meetings too in many places. If you don't know about it and are interested there are links to all of the above as well as other stuff at the web site which is at: http://www.smartrecovery.org/ Joe B.
