If you are sober curious or are on a mission to drink less, you will likely have heard about SMART Recovery, an evidenced based recovery method that is as an alternative to other recovery programs, including 12 step programs. Or perhaps you've attended a SMART Recovery meeting or two? Today we are joined by April Long, the CEO of SMART Recovery and social justice to champion, to discuss what SMART Recovery is, what distinguishes it from other recovery programs and how this goal-based recovery program empowers individuals to reclaim their lives.
Unlike traditional 12-step programs, SMART Recovery does not label addiction as a disease but instead focuses on personal goals, whether aiming for abstinence or reducing intake. With 370 meetings nationwide and a robust online presence, the program leverages practical tools like cost-benefit analysis to help participants make meaningful behaviour changes. April also talks about alcohol harm in Australia and the dire need for better support systems. April highlights Smart Recovery's efforts in marginalised communities and the innovative SMART Recovery app, which has already achieved 22,000 downloads. The app offers a range of tools, articles, and the capability to launch meetings, making recovery accessible to those who may find group therapy intimidating. Tune in to hear April's insights on early intervention, reducing stigma, and how you can get involved in supporting recovery for everyone.
