The more that people focus on The End Date, the less likely they are to succeed, and that's the honest, to god's truth, I mean. I can guarantee somebody sobriety if you do everything that we ask.
What’s the secret to successful addiction recovery? In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, hosts Tom Conrad and Ben dive into SMART Recovery, an alternative approach to traditional programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. If you've ever wondered about different recovery methods, this discussion is for you. Tom, a seasoned veteran of the 12-step program, and Ben, who has firsthand experience with SMART Recovery meetings, break down what makes SMART unique.
They discuss the acronym SMART, which stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely goals, and how these principles can guide you to a more structured and achievable path to sobriety. Ben shares his thoughts on the program and highlights the importance of setting realistic goals, like filling out job applications rather than just aiming to 'find a job'. Tom and Ben also emphasize the importance of sticking with whichever program you choose and taking actionable steps in the present.
This episode isn't just about comparing recovery programs; it's about finding what works best for you and committing to it. So, if you're looking for a fresh perspective on addiction recovery or just need a nudge to take that first step, tune in to this enlightening conversation.
