SMART is not just any mutual-support program. Our science-based approach emphasizes self-empowerment and self-reliance. There’s no lifetime commitment; you decide when the time is right to move on. You choose how to personalize your own plan for successful change. SMART can be used both as a stand-alone program or in combination with other recovery paths.

SMART’s practical tools and social supports are proven effective to support and sustain successful long-term life change.

Are You Aware of Your Thoughts? An Exercise for Change excerpt from Rational Thinking by Peter Shepherd An event is interpreted, judged and labelled in such a way that a particular emotional response is inevitable. You are constantly describing the world to yourself, giving each event or experience some label. You make interpretations of what you see or hear, you judge events as good or bad, painful or pleasurable, you predict whether they will bring danger or relative safety...Continue reading

Guilt, Resentment and Blame When you have guilt, you reinforce the feelings of being not okay. You lose your confidence and self-respect. You feel undeserving and you hold yourself back. The key to releasing guilt is to recognize that we all go through life doing the very best we can with the extremely limited skills and awareness that we have at the time. Unfortunately, the awareness that we have is seldom enough. As a result, we make mistakes. Sometimes we make big ones. Ma...Continue reading

This was tonight's meeting topic!! Habits and Feelings These two old buddies hang out together most of the time Habits and feelings are very closely linked. When you do something habitually, it feels natural and you feel impelled to do it. When you think of it a little mental green light goes on. But when you set out to do anything different and to change the habit, you tend to feel uncomfortable. A little caution or red stoplight goes on in your head.... Many good habits for activities and thinking are indispensable to our existence. It is natural for us to sense a degree of discomfort if we cannot brush our teeth or keep an appointment on time if those are things that we do habitually. We even plan ahead to do things that we’ve learned are necessary or rewarding. The habits continue to serve us and they always resist change. Most of us also have some habits that are undesirable to a greater or lesser degree, which we do with the same sense of comfort and integration as with the good ones. Both good and bad habits get settled in and strengthened by repetition. Now that brings us to having an undesirable habit which gets so costly that we feel a need to have some changes take place. Sometimes in the field of substance abuse or other areas of compulsive behaviour, our lives can become so affected that change is almost forced on us, but we will resist that change even then. When things come to this not-uncommon scenario there is almost always ambivalence. The undesired habit, fortified with those feelings, wants to go on with the practice while our better judgment and other pressures want to end it and restore some things to normalcy. That’s when understanding what to do about this becomes the focus at SMART Recovery. The most important and powerful thing to know in making changes occur is to understand that to change anything, at first, you will have to act differently than you feel. The conscious part of your mind with your reason and intelligence can make a decision. But if that entails changing an attitude or feeling, then the part of your brain that does the more subconscious things always resists. Remember that habits and feelings go together, the little green or red lights in your head. Here’s the most important thing to remember, everything in those habits was originally learned and chosen and can be unlearned and relearned. To do this you will have to crash through the barrier of feelings and experience the new behaviour. At first, you may have to fake it till you make it. You can’t wait till it feels comfortable. And then you will have to repeatedly do the new behaviour to replace the old habit with the better alternative. This is something only you can do for yourself, so you better know right now, if you are going to succeed in changing a habit, then at first you will have to force yourself to act differently than you feel! https://www.smartrecovery.org/sma.../habits-and-feelings/...

Wants some great ammunition to overcome urges in certain circumstances you suspect may be problematic (dates, weddings, football games, etc.)? SMART Recovery has the great ROLE PLAYING TOOL to help you map out future urge scenarios in your mind, and then play them out with a friend in advance so that you can rehearse the urge situations and create the most desirable non-relapse outcome. https://youtu.be/_i1dya5cOLk

With harmful addiction a serious problem among incarcerated individuals, SMART Recovery meetings have been held in prisons since our very beginnings. We adapted SMART specifically for correctional facilities with the introduction of our InsideOut program in 2002. The National Institute on Drug Abuse contributed $1 million in grants to this effort. Today, meetings based on InsideOut are held in hundreds of correctional facilities worldwide. Check out this helpful video to lear...n more.
