We're seeing more of a sense of community around the women. Some listeners might be out there and they want to start smart. They want to know more about smart. Because it's early on, I think this was developed in 1984, there's still a small group of meetings online and in person that someone can attend like an AA meeting, but doing it differently with the worksheets, as you guys have talked about.
Imagine a recovery program that blends science with compassion, offering practical tools to tackle addiction and harmful habits. In this episode of 'Diary of an Overcomer', hosts Carol and Jen sit down with Shepherd's Gate staff members, Alicia and Brittany, to talk about the innovative SMART Recovery program. This isn't just another recovery tool; it's a game-changer for anyone looking to break free from negative patterns and build a healthier life.
