RECOVERY TV, founded by Los Angeles SMART Facilitator Ted Perkins, is designed to help anyone interested in, or currently in recovery. According to RECOVERY TV’s website, “It doesn’t matter if you’re still using (or never used), trying to quit, abstaining, practicing moderation, in rehab, out of rehab, seeing a therapist, in a program, attending meetings, flying solo, a parent, sibling or friend of a problem user, sober-curious or just interested in the subject of recovery…”
There are 12 additional episodes of REALITY CHECK currently available to stream free of charge online, with another 12 episodes coming soon. Its programming is informed and inspired by rational, evidence-based recovery principles and methodologies – including and especially SMART.

Well done!
Falls under the idea any press is good press?
I find this woman abrasive and condescending ~ and the stereotypes portrayed in the video are not befitting the fine reputation of an organization like SMART Recovery.
What stereotypes are you referring to?
As a SMART facilitator, I’ve found it important to use as many resources as possible to get my members the support they need for a successful recovery. The idea to use multi-media in this area is essential and forward-looking. The key to recovery is to utilize those avenues that work for each person according to their choice. Not every presentation will appeal to every person. But many smart members will want to watch videos, movies, television shows and music videos related to the topic of addiction and recovery in order to supercharge their motivation and keep them committed to recovery. Others may prefer online meetings, in-person meetings, or handbook exercises. Still, others will want to seek professional counseling, spiritual and religious guidance or other forms of community support. This isn’t a one size fits all. RECOVERY TV is a positive and welcome step in the right direction in the evolving world of addiction and recovery science and art.
