SMART Recovery's Core Values

​

  • EMPOWERMENT: You have the power of choice in your life. You can and will change.

  • STIGMA-FREE: You are not your behavior. SMART doesn't use terms like "alcoholic", "addict," or "powerless."

  • ACCEPTANCE: Nobody has the right or power to judge you. SMART accepts you as you are and where you are now in your recovery.

  • ACCESSIBILITY: SMART is not all-or-nothing. You choose only the tool or exercise that work for you.

  • OPENNESS: Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. You can use other programs in tandem with ours. 

  • FREEDOM: SMART is not a life-long commitment. Once you get to a great place, move on with your life. Come back any time you like. We're not going anywhere.

"I felt completely lost.  SMART Recovery showed me how my own THOUGHTS were my biggest problem.  The SMART Handbook exercises really helped me break it all down and look at my challenges from a more positive perspective. Put simply: It WORKED for me."
