SMART Recovery is based on science, not on dogma, and it's a very empowering program. It's not just for people with substance use disorders, it's for anybody that has a compulsive behavior that they want to change.
Ever heard of SMART Recovery and wondered what it's all about? In this episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point', host Deb Mazenor chats with Jim Dickey, a seasoned SMART Recovery facilitator with over a decade of experience. SMART, which stands for Self-Management And Recovery Training, is a global network of mutual-support groups that offer science-backed tools to help people overcome addictive behaviors. Unlike traditional programs, SMART focuses on self-empowerment and practical strategies rather than dogma.
Jim shares how SMART Recovery works, who it’s for, and why it’s effective. He also dives into one of his favorite tools: the cost-benefit analysis. This tool helps you weigh the pros and cons of your habits, making it easier to see the real impact of your choices. Whether you're trying to quit drinking or tackle another compulsive behavior, Jim’s insights into SMART Recovery offer a fresh perspective on achieving lasting change.
