Self-help groups are a wonderful way to get additional free support in reaching your goals and build community. Many organizations also have excellent on-line options. We recommend trying several as you never know what will resonate with you.
Self-Management And Recovery Training (SMART) is a global community of mutual-support groups. At meetings, participants help one another resolve problems with any addiction (to drugs or alcohol or to activities such as gambling or over-eating). Participants find and develop the power within themselves to change and lead fulfilling and balanced lives guided by our science-based and sensible 4-Point Program®. Find in-person and online meetings at SMARTfinder: meetings.smartrecovery.org/meetings/
Self-Management And Recovery Training (SMART) Family & Friends provides effective, easy-to-learn tools to help both you and your loved one. Methods are based on the tools of SMART Recovery and CRAFT Therapy (Community Reinforcement & Family Training). Meetings, available both in-person and online, provide concerned significant others (CSOs) the tools they need to effectively support their loved one without supporting the addictive behavior. These tools also help Family & Friends better cope with their loved one’s situation and regain their peace of mind. More at smartrecovery.org/family/
