Welcome, Raleigh "SMARTies"!

Meet and join with others who are learning to to use the practical and sensible techniques of SMART Recovery® to overcome their addictive behaviors.

SMART may be for you if you are looking for a reasonable and realistic alternative or adjunct to traditional "12-Step" programs.

SMART Recovery® (Self Management And Recovery Training) is a national non-profit and abstinence oriented organization that facilitates self-help/support group meetings and online resources.

Our meetings are FREE and open to anyone wanting to stop an addictive behavior. Meetings are designed to be relaxed, non-confontational, and fairly small (5-12 participants).
We offer specific tools and techniques for each of the points of our four point program:

1. ENHANCING & MAINTAINING MOTIVATION TO ABSTAIN
2. COPING WITH URGES
3. PROBLEM SOLVING (developing life coping skills and managing one's thoughts, feelings, & behaviors)
4. LIFESTYLE BALANCE (replacing addictive behavior with a more balanced, satisfying, and fulfilling lifestyle)

In addition to our face-to-face meetings you can find information as well as online meetings and/or discussions at: http://smartrecovery.org/
