Somewhere I'd read a study that a percentage wise, didn't have any better or worse luck than anything in getting people sober, but the powerful, the thing that did, was the fellowship or something like that.
Imagine stepping into a room where recovery isn't just about following a set of spiritual steps. That's exactly what the hosts of 'Since Right Now'—Jeff, Matt, and Chris—did when they attended a SMART Recovery meeting. In this episode, they dive into their firsthand experience with this alternative recovery program that offers a different path from the traditional 12-step approach.
The hosts found the meeting's lack of structure a bit unsettling at first, but they soon appreciated the focus on fallibility and open communication. Unlike some programs that demand strict adherence to abstinence, SMART Recovery takes a more forgiving stance, recognizing that everyone’s journey is unique. Jeff, Matt, and Chris discuss how this approach allows for more personal accountability and flexibility in recovery.
They also highlight the importance of shared experiences and how it can foster a sense of community without the spiritual undertones often found in other programs. If you’re looking for a non-spiritual, non-12-step method to tackle addiction, this episode offers valuable insights that might just resonate with you. Tune in to hear their candid thoughts and decide if SMART Recovery could be the right fit for your recovery journey.
