SMART Recovery does have online meetings, but that isn’t the same as being in a room where the normies aren’t allowed in. Being around people who can relate to the struggles that come with addiction is so powerful.
In my experience, AA explores ways to avoid drinking by focusing on how harmful substance abuse is. SMART stands for Self Management And Recovery Training. It focuses on looking inward and trying to find the reasons we choose our addictive behavior. Then fixing those problems with Cognitive Behavior Therapy inspired tools.
We are basically cavepeople in a world where technology outpaced our instincts and nervous systems. We weren’t designed for all the blinking lights and huge amounts of information. If we could all slow down, practice some self compassion and gratitude, eat some berries and take a nap… the world would be a better place.
