I have heard from people in NA that it does not work for some people. If you have problems with the first 3 steps then 12 step program will probably not work for you. The person that spoke about why NA did not work for her, said she hated the idea of giving herself to a higher power. Which sounds like the problem you're having. I'm trying to remember what she did as an alternative, but I can't remember sorry.

There are a lot of different types of therapy that are good for addiction. I have heard good things about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), for treating eating disorders.
