SMART Recovery Board President Bill Greer was recently interviewed on the Light Hustle Podcast discussing SMART Recovery, why this program appeals to people, and why, even though it’s a great alternative to 12-step programs, the organization doesn’t allow “bashing” of AA.

Seeking help
Hi Jesika,
You can find out more about SMART by visiting our website at http://www.smartrecovery.org We have loads of resources (look for the “toolbox”), a list of our local meetings, an online community, a bookstore with SMART publications, and more. We also have online meetings, and you are welcome to attend. Our meetings start with an opening statement followed by a short check in with everyone and then a discussion of the issues that come up in the check-in. During the discussion, cross-talk is encouraged and we learn from each other. Be sure to be online early, we do limit the size of the meetings and they fill up quickly. You will find people in all stages of recovery and working on recovery from many different substances or behaviors. You will also find that many have had 12-step experience and that many attend 12-step meetings AND use SMART as part of their recovery.
