SMART Recovery Lethbridge
435 5 Street South T1J 2B6 Mentor, OH, US

Hey there guys! We are back at it starting next Wednesday, hope to see you there

Recovery from the trauma that causes drug and alcohol addiction is not linear

Relax. Your day was as productive as it needed to be.

There is no shame in asking for help.

Healing is not a linear path upward. Be prepared for bumps in the road #thursdaythought

Stay well, stay connected, stay SMART

Starting October 7, 2020! Can't wait to see you all in person, we've missed you

Hello all! Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, November 11th, is a stat meaning we will not be hosting our Wednesday SMART Recovery meeting. With that being said, if you would like to attend an online meeting please visit smartrecovery.org Our meeting facilitator can be reached at 403-894-9767 (text/call) if you're wanting to arrange a one-to-one SMART meeting if the need arises.... Enjoy the week, we will be back on November 18th!

We have some big news! We are officially reopening our Wednesday evening meetings to the public! We are following COVID-19 restrictions put in place to ensure the safety of our group members, facilitators and volunteers. Because of this we have a few changes to announce:... - NEW TIMES: We will be holding two separate groups on Wednesday evenings, Group A will be from 6-7pm, and Group B will be 7:30-8:30pm - LIMITED CAPACITY: Due to limited place available for physical distancing we will be operating at limited capacity, meaning our meetings will be first-come first-serve in each grouping. At this time we will not be holding or "reserving" any spots for participants. - MANDADOTORY MASKING: In accordance with Lethbridge Bylaw all participants will be required to wear a mask for the duration of the meeting. We have disposable masks here in office that we can provide to group members. - HEALTH QUESTIONAIRE: You will be asked a few questions upon entry to ensure the health and safety of all our staff and participants. If you are feeling unwell we encourage you to stay home and access SMART Recovery meetings on our website at smartrecovery.org - FREQUENT SANITIZATION: We are ensuring that our meeting space is properly sanitized and cleaned before each meeting. We encourage participants to sanitize and wash their hands frequently. We will still be offering workbooks and handouts to our participants. We are beyond excited to get back to in-person meetings and can't wait to see your masked faces! Please reach out if you have any questions.

Men shouldn't feel they have to always be "strong," and not express themselves. - Image via what.is.mental.illness

Be compassionate, be forgiving - even if you will get nothing in return.

Show up this Saturday! Because you ARE enough!

Change is hard, but change you must.

Been wondering how to practice #mindfulness? Here's a start

Stop yelling and listen...

Humans are very different from each other. Similarly, individual humans vary widely within their own lifetimes. People *can* change. Be patient.

There is a fourth response to the list of fight, flight, or freeze. It is to acquiesce, or to simply give up your power.
