I suggest that they try everything.
Ever felt that traditional AA isn't quite your fit? You're not alone. In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn sit down with Laura, a seasoned recovery coach, to chat about SMART Recovery. Laura's story is compelling—she first turned to SMART Recovery after ending her chaotic relationship with drugs four decades ago. Fast forward ten years, and she was searching for answers again when her son struggled with heroin addiction.
Knowing he wouldn't connect with the 12-step program, she discovered SMART Recovery, which not only helped her but also inspired her to become a recovery coach. SMART Recovery offers a secular approach to sobriety, focusing on a four-point program: maintaining motivation, resisting urges, managing thoughts and behaviors, and living a balanced life. Unlike AA, SMART provides an extensive online community that's accessible 24/7, making it easier for anyone to find support whenever they need it.
Laura explains how SMART's toolbox of resources can be a game-changer for those looking for alternative recovery paths. Mike and Glenn emphasize the importance of exploring different recovery methods to find what truly works for you. While AA offers a strong sense of community, SMART brings a unique set of tools and a flexible approach that can be just as effective.
If you're curious about alternative recovery options or know someone who might benefit from this discussion, this episode is a must-listen. So grab your coffee and join Mike and Glenn in the Sober.Coffee Shop for an enlightening conversation about finding hope and support through SMART Recovery.
