SMART is about Self-Empowerment - Recovery is still challenging.

The vast majority of people who enter SMART or AA seem to be struggle staying there and getting free of their addictive behaviour.

The bottom line still appears to be "whatever works, use it!"

The "use it" being the most important thing.

SMART is all about the use of tools and the managing of one's own recovery. ACTIVE processes that require commitment and some goal planning.

SMART works the best for me and I love the empowered, educated nature of it.

I still love some of the people in AA and I admire their compassion and humanity.

"Whatever works, use it!" - I sincerely hope it is used and will, therefore, work.
