There's no shame or guilt about having relapses, because it believes, and those are actually one of the best opportunities for learning.
Imagine a world where addiction is seen not as a lifelong label but as a behavior that can be unlearned. That's the essence of the SMART Recovery program, and it's the focus of this episode of 'Flowers for Zoe - Stories for Dennis'. Hosts Zoe, Daniel, and Lara dive into this cutting-edge rehabilitation approach that’s transforming lives by emphasizing peer support and personal values over stigmatizing labels.
SMART Recovery is a free, state-of-the-art program that equips individuals with practical tools to overcome addiction. The hosts break down how this program works, highlighting its unique methods and the success stories that have emerged from it. They discuss the importance of peer support in fostering a community where people can share their experiences and learn from each other. One key aspect of SMART Recovery is its focus on understanding and aligning with one's values.
Instead of being defined by addiction, participants are encouraged to explore what truly matters to them, which can be a powerful motivator for change. The episode also tackles the often-taboo topic of relapse. Rather than viewing it as a failure, the hosts explain how relapse can be an opportunity for growth and learning within the recovery journey.
They emphasize that overcoming addiction is not just about avoiding substances but also about building a life that aligns with one's values and aspirations. The conversation wraps up with a heartfelt message about the importance of being loyal to oneself. If you or someone you care about is grappling with addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical insights that could make all the difference.
