Just type in your zip code and it'll: when do your meetings? So that's why I said that smart recovery is not this anti-spirituality program, because they are encouraging mindfulness practices and they're saying, like you identify what's in your life.
Angela Gilgallon, a powerhouse in the behavioral health field, sits down with Joe Van Wie to discuss the transformative potential of SMART Recovery. As the founder of Pro-Recovery and co-founder of Become Empowered, Angela brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. But what exactly sets SMART Recovery apart from traditional methods? Angela breaks it down, emphasizing its focus on personalized recovery plans rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
She shares how SMART Recovery empowers individuals to define their own path to sobriety, making it a more flexible and individualized option compared to traditional 12-step programs. One of the standout features of SMART Recovery is its use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. Angela explains how disputing irrational beliefs can help people manage their thoughts and behaviors more effectively. This method, coupled with mindfulness practices, provides a robust toolkit for those on the recovery journey.
Angela also highlights the importance of motivation in recovery. She shares practical strategies for staying motivated, even when faced with setbacks. By attending SMART Recovery meetings and building connections with others, participants can find the support they need to stay on track. For anyone interested in exploring this innovative approach, Angela recommends checking out the SMART Recovery website to find local meetings.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how SMART Recovery could be the key to unlocking a healthier, more fulfilling life.
