start by making a decision to be clean and sober making new choice no need for belief in god or higher power rather create ur own will power
works as good as twelve step but is not bible and church based like AA
Choice is everything!
I found the most important lesson that SMART Recovery empowered me with is to help me Discover the Power of Choice! It has given me almost 4years of continuous sobriety from my addictive behaviour to date.
What time
Everybody Loves a Happy ending, but those of us that are Addicted simply want an ending. this little film was cute, sweet but Not at all realistic. a habit becomes a routine and descends in to a nightmare, the kind that is ongoing that you often don't wake up from.
Great video
This is my favorite SR tool!!
I really like the idea that an urge is just an invitation. You can either accept or decline.
Loudly as we preach a commitment to building community via DEI here at SMART, there's one demographic who's inclusion has gone undiscussed for an unforgivably long time.... Namely, Serial Murderers Fair inference: Contemporary equivalents to Albert Fish, Ed Gein, Jeff Dahmer, Karla Holmka, Aileen Wuornos, Carlton Gary, Javed Iqbal, Richard Ramirez, and Yang Xinhai who haven’t yet been identified and incarcerated are almost certainly present at our meetings. And an immense Power Differential exists between folks like this, and the rest of us “normies”. Whereas they’ve enjoyed the power of dining on human flesh, and washing down their fava beans with several goblets of warm plasma, we non-serial murderers suffer the inequity of having had to settle for merely WONDERING what our fellow Homo Sapiens taste like, once they’ve been fried up and sauteed. Yet our leadership here at SMART hasn't provide us with any counsel on rectifying this monsterous affront to the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at our gatherings Is it OK for us to start asking the lambs in our flock outright, at the beginning of each meeting, questions such as: “Has anyone here tonight strangled a sex worker behind the dumpster at Dairy Queen recently?” Or “In the past six months, have any of you lured your neighbor's five year old into your home with Skittles, dismembered that poor squirt while he was still alive, then tossed his limbs and vital organs into your oven for supper?” Or would making such direct inquiries turn meetings into Emotionally Unsafe Spaces, for those participants who’s idea of recreation leans toward hobbies like rock climbing and Laser Tag, and away from activities such as sexual assault and spilling innocent blood?
As a member of SMART since '14, I'm disappointed in the failure of Ms. Billingsley, Executive Director Rubinas, and every other proponent of DEI who's infected the organization's innards to discuss The US's MOST neglected demographic.... Namely, Serial murderers Fair inference: Contemporary equivalents to Albert Fish, Eddie Gein, Jeff Dahmer, Karla Holmka, Aileen Wuornos, Carlton Gary, Javed Iqbal, Richard Ramirez, and Yang Xinhai who haven’t yet been identified and incarcerated are almost certainly present in our SMART meetings. And an immense Power Differential exists between folks like these and the rest of us “normies”. Whereas they’ve enjoyed the power of dining on human flesh, and washing down their fava beans with several goblets of warm plasma, we non-serial murderers suffer the inequity of having had to settle for merely WONDERING what our fellow Homo Sapiens taste like, once they’ve been fried up and sauteed. Yet neither Billingsley, Rubinas, nor any of their fellow champions of Social Justice have uttered even one word of guidance on rectifying this monsterous affront to the principles of Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion in our meetings Is it OK for us to start asking the lambs in our flock outright, at the beginning of each SMART gathering questions such as: “Has anyone here tonight strangled a sex worker behind the dumpster at Dairy Queen recently?” Or “In the past six months, have any of you lured your neighbor's 5 year old into your home with skittles, dismembered that poor squirt while he was still alive, then tossed his limbs and vital organs into your oven for supper?” Or would making such direct inquiries turn meetings into Emotionally Unsafe Spaces for those participants who’s idea of recreation leans toward hobbies like rock climbing and Laser Tag, and away from activities such as sexual assault and spilling innocent blood?
You're so inspirational Mike!

I think I need to watch this episode over and over again. Thank you
I try to watch every morning.
This is awesome
I hate alcohol
Just watched this with my group yesterday; during discussion I brought up that SMART IS a total abstinence program, but that medication is often an important part of recovery. So instead of just "self-medicating", in SMART we learn to be open and honest with our health care providers. The whole point of the program is to gain insight as to WHY we used our drug-of-choice, and what in life is important enough to replace that - some strong, over-riding value. Was thrilled about the discussion of choices we can make, and being rational in our beliefs about things. I guess, now that I'm thinking about this, that "doing good enough" is what needs to be emphasized to newcomers, with the emphasis and attraction that life can keep getting incrementally better. Nothing in life is perfect, and taking a "soft-line" approach to abstinence to our using just means we have the chance to think things over, and, with having more and more of our mental faculties back, are able to achieve a balanced life that fits each of our individual lives best. After watching the video with my group, I told them I'd research its time of origin, which appears to be a year ago. The conversation really seems like one that might have taken place 20 years ago, when SMART didn't have such a full, thoughtful program entirely in place (a 10-year old program versus a 30-year old program). I'd love it if someone from SMART could confirm or correct my train of thought. Thank you for your time, and the great analogies of the sand castle, the rocket, and the garden. Until next time -
Addiction is a behavioral problem that can be changed and resolved.
What a waste of my time
Wonderful
Thank you for the inspiration! And for your service!
Yay!!!! Shout out back at you guys! Love you both!
Thank you so much for these useful tips, it helps me alot.
Loved this. What was the book she talked about by overdose lifeline?

whats nlp swish?
@@thelastgeneration1926 look up Damon Cart nlp Master Practitioner...
Can you use cannabis in these groups?
We need secular alternatives. This way my Hindu and Sikh friends feel comfortable going to a meeting so there is not one specific religion(usually Christianity or Judaism) being overly discussed at meetings. Look around you and be honest. The meetings are 99.99999999999999999999 Jesus. The other is 0 .00000000000000001 Judaism. Excuse me? I have met 2 Hindus in 34 YEARS,1 Muslim zero Sikhs. Not very welcoming. Make meetings more neutral. Keep the proselytizing (converting) out please.
Proselytizing ought to be called out as the 14th step. Just as the 13th step is wrong, so is trying to sell stuff at meeting ( makeup companies etc) or hawking religion.
I am a smart Facilitator in UK is this being broadcasted online?

Thankyou for all your service and support of others Dennis <3
Thankyou for all your service Mandy <3
I work for Bear River Health in northern Michigan as a BHT/Facilitator, and I will be showing this to my group of 36 guys later this morning, great work here! looking forward to see what conversation it provokes with my guys.
I think it would be helpful if you cut back on the triggering imagery -- drinks, people drinking, people cramming cake in their mouths. Do you think these images are helpful to people early in recovery? This is not the only video that features the very triggers many people are trying to avoid.
If the behavior goals a person might be seeking is something like "healthy eating" "regular exercise" "Sleep hygiene" or "building better relationships with others". The absence only focus is pretty much useless. Wouldn't you agree ? Is there a smart recovery meeting online, on Zoom, that uses tools and strategies from ACT. Russ Harris has pdf work sheets online. If so I would like to join that. If not I would like to start one assuming there is no expiration date on facilitator training. I was a facilitator in San Diego before the COVID era.
Is that Matthew McCaughey's brother?
My new case manager strongly recommended that I take this channel in. I’m going in both feet.
