I like to think about ultimate matters and ultimate beliefs in life, but they tend not to be, or they are not, of a religious nature.
Ever felt out of place in traditional 12-step programs? In this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Dr. Adina Silvestri sits down with Tom Horvath, co-founder of SMART Recovery, to discuss a fresh approach to overcoming addiction. Horvath explains how SMART Recovery stands apart from conventional 12-step groups by focusing on scientific methods rather than spiritual ones. This makes it a welcoming space for atheists and agnostics who might feel alienated by the religious undertones of other programs.
The conversation delves into the principles of self-empowerment and the vital role of perseverance in the recovery journey. Horvath believes that taking control of your own recovery, rather than relying on a higher power, can be incredibly liberating. He also touches on the unique structure of SMART meetings, which encourage open dialogue and active participation, making them more engaging and interactive.
Horvath shares personal anecdotes and practical advice on how to build a new, fulfilling life in sobriety that makes returning to old habits less appealing. Whether you're new to recovery or looking for alternative methods, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of community support. Tune in to learn how perseverance and self-empowerment can transform your recovery journey.
