Description
SMART Recovery is a global non-profit organization that helps hundreds of thousands of people worldwide with addiction recovery programs.
The community was founded in 1994, and it has spent almost 30 years now helping people to overcome diverse types of addiction. Indeed, SMART Recovery has developed its own recovery program and diverse steps to take in order to gain control of your life back.
One of the pillars of the organization is local meetings. They have local meetings in many locations around Canada and the United States. Additionally, there are recovery meetings in numerous countries around the world. However, if you can't find a meeting in your local area, you can always participate in online meetings and benefit from the SMART Recovery program and training.
On the other hand, you can also interact with other members in the community's online forums. Both the forums and the meetings are great places to meet people who are also going through the healing process of recovering from addiction.
Moreover, SMART Recovery organizes events such as national conferences and other virtual events for members to gain new knowledge and motivation to continue their recovery process. You can also benefit from SMART Recovery's numerous resources, which include not only reading material, but also educational videos and podcast episodes.

"I started to apply the tools I found here on SMART online some 15 years ago, but for real this time. I started to apply them even when I didn’t want to. I started to apply them even when I thought it was stupid. I started to apply them when I didn’t believe they would help. I didn’t just look at an old CBA. I updated it regularly with all the amazing new things I experienced. Try it, I dare you, and pay close attention to how much those pro-drinking/con-quitting columns change. I actually put pen to paper and put the things that upset me into columns using an ABC. And guess what, it worked. Or more specifically, I did the work in support of my own sobriety. Each of you has made a lasting impact on my recovery, whether you know it or not :) Love you guys!" -Leaf
