I facilitated my first meeting tonight with this excellent self-help program focusing on addressing addictive behaviors. As a science-based, humanistic, self-help approach to recovery, I feel that the goals and methods of the program are totally in-line with my overall philosophy related to leading a healthy, balanced life.
Being a facilitator mainly involves listening, being empathetic, and helping guide discussion and keep track of time. Meetings are 90 minutes long.
In addition to an online community, SMART has three meetings per week in Madison as well as one in Stoughton. Meetings are free, open to the public, and are completely confidential.
If you or someone you know might be interested in attending as an observer or to address your own addictive behaviors that are causing problems in your life, please visit this site to see if there is an online or in-person meeting you can attend: http://www.smartrecovery.org/meetings/index.htm, or if you're in the Madison area, visit this site to see where the local meetings are held: http://smartrecoverymadison.org/
