In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', they dive into the world of SMART Recovery, an alternative that flips the script on addiction recovery. Instead of surrendering to a higher power, SMART Recovery focuses on self-empowerment and self-reliance. It's all about giving you the tools to change your thinking and behavior, helping you regain control of your life.
SMART Recovery stands for Self-Management And Recovery Training. It's been gaining traction as a secular option for those who want to kick addiction without the spiritual angle. Mike and Nat break down how this program works, highlighting its unique approach to tackling addiction through cognitive-behavioral techniques. They discuss the core principles of SMART Recovery, which emphasize personal responsibility and self-directed change.

The guys sprinkle in their usual humor and relatable anecdotes, making the conversation both informative and engaging. They also touch on other segments like the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, and the Week in Weird, ensuring there's something for everyone. So if you're curious about alternative recovery methods or just want to hear two suburban dads chat about sobriety in a refreshingly honest way, this episode is a must-listen.
