About Us
Smart Recovery is a global, not for profit volunteer organization that is science and evidence based. We offer free, peer led online and in-person support groups in a safe space for people seeking independence from any type of addictive behaviours.
We offer a support program for family members and friends who want to help their loved ones in recovery with positive reinforcement.
It is important that you believe in your ability to change. We encourage you to develop your self-confidence, restore faith in yourself and hope for your recovery from addiction.
If you aren’t ready to believe that you can change, then reserve your judgment, set aside your negative beliefs and approach the process of change with an open mind. We can help and you can do this!
Acceptance, encouragement and non-judgment. We are accepted into a community that believes you have the Power of Choice in addiction recovery and the capabilities within yourself to make things change.
Self-Empowerment. A self-empowering approach to recovery involves gaining freedom and independence.
4 Points Program, While working through our tools and techniques we gain personal power, the ability to cope with challenges and more capacity to grow emotionally by making positive life decisions.
This process works over time. When practiced daily, the evidence shows us these coping skills have been proven to be effective.
Point 1- Build and Maintain Motivation. This is where you discover your reasons to change, build momentum and the motivation to keep going.
Point 2 - Cope With Urges. Urges and cravings happen. SMART Recovery can help you allow, accept and overcome these urges and understand why you have them.
The fact is people can learn to control their response to their urges and cravings or even forget about them completely over time.
Point 3 - Manage Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviours. This is where you find new ways of dealing with sadness, anger, anxiety, frustration and other upsets instead of using substances or engaging in other addictive behaviours.
You can build your communication and basic life skills using our tools and techniques.
Point 4 - Live a Balanced Life. This is where your values and behaviour are aligned. You maintain your recovery by figuring out what's important to you, setting attainable goals, pursue new interests that replace your addictive behaviour, find like minded friends and make new connections.
