In SMARTŪ we emphasize'.
(1) Refusing to act on urges to use
(2) Enhancing motivation,
(3) Managing life's problems in a sensible and
effective way without substances; and
(4) Developing a positive, balanced, and healthy
lifestyle.
SMART has real tools and techniques to help. No "magical thinking"
required!
In SMART Recovery, we view reason and scientific knowledge as
the final authority. SMART evolves as scientific study produces new
knowledge and practical information.
A religious or spiritual belief is not necessary or required. Of course,
one can continue to believe as they wish.Some SMART participants, but
not all, are people with strong religious or spiritual beliefs. However,
we do not focus on these in SMART.
Respect for all, regardless of personal beliefs,
is a SMART trademark!
Please continue further as we address these four areas.
