They work, go along and see. Try to find people who have worked the program and ask how it helped them.
If you want to know more I can share with you too but go along and see for yourself first.

Welcome! The combination of this forum/app and AA have helped me incredibly! I was a repeat relapser until I finally went to AA and got a sponsor. Having a sponsor to check in with and hold you accountable, as well as guide you through all the emotional craziness that is getting sober is invaluable. I finally realized I could not do this sober thing alone and it helps to meet other people in AA who have similar issues, even if it’s awkward at first! I will be 60 days clean tomorrow! 
I also recommend buying/checking out some good books on sobriety- they don’t even have to do with AA/12 steps. Just reading about addiction made me realize who much of it is in your head and can be overcome through small changes to your thinking. Not to mention how drugs/alcohol mess with your logic/thinking. I recently finished a book called Being Sober by the director of the Betty Ford center and really like it.
If you are active on social media like Instagram/Facebook. Find sober pages/inspirational people to follow. I follow so many inspirational people who have overcome addiction and who post some really funny stuff that keeps my mood up. Here are a few I follow on Instagram : soberevolution, recoverytodaymag, sober.ly, itsbryanalzate.
Keep busy, and discover what you can focus on now that you’re living sober. You’ll find you’ve got a lot of time. I channeled that into fixing my house up, cooking/baking, and spending time out in nature!
Keep it up!
