Mentorship and Growth: Tracy and Rick's Journey with SMART Recovery

When I was ready, I just went right back to SMART meetings and had I not found that, I probably would not be on the path I am now.
What happens when two people come together with a shared goal of overcoming addiction? In this episode of the SMART Recovery® Podcast, you'll meet Tracy Gryp and her mentor, Rick Kuplinski, who share their compelling journey through the SMART Recovery program. Tracy, a newly minted facilitator, and Rick, her seasoned mentor, dive into their personal stories of transformation and growth.
They reveal how the program's tools and techniques, like the ABC tool, have helped them challenge their beliefs and assumptions about their behaviors. But it's not just about the tools—it's about the community and the mentorship that make a real difference. Tracy and Rick discuss the facilitator mentoring program, a unique aspect of SMART Recovery that pairs new facilitators with experienced mentors. This one-on-one guidance helps newcomers navigate the learning curve and develop their skills.
Through their heartfelt conversation, you'll get a glimpse into the emotional dimension of wellness that is often overlooked in traditional recovery programs. Tracy and Rick's story is a testament to the power of sticking together and supporting each other in the journey to recovery. They encourage anyone struggling with addiction to explore SMART Recovery's resources and consider becoming a facilitator. Tune in to hear how community, mentorship, and the right tools can lead to a life of growth and purpose.
