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.
