The group SMART has a chat room that I like 24/7.
I think that I will be going there more often.
I got this off their website so to speak, one of the moderators posted this in a chat room.
They believe:
What Smart does is help people get back their lives without telling them exactly what to do. It is a tool driven program, using the tools will help you learn how to apply them in order to:
1. Enhance and maintain motivation
2. Cope with urges
3. Manage thoughts, feelings and behavior
4. Achieve lifestyle balance.
Smart Recovery does NOT require you to:
• Believe in a Higher Power (although it’s okay if you do).
• Commit to abstinence for life (though our abstinence based program aims to help you regardless of your plans)
• Commit to attending meetings for life (you are welcome at our meetings for as long as they are helpful to you).
• “Label” yourself an “addict” or an “alcoholic” (we discourage the use of all negative or disparaging labels).
• Proclaim yourself powerless over your addiction. (you are not powerless!)
• Accept the guidance of a Sponsor, or commit to any requirements other than the goals of recovery that you set for yourself.
