S3E10: In the world of addiction recovery, there are "models" of recovery like the 12-step programs of AA (alcoholic's anonymous) and NA (narcotics anonymous), and more evidence-based models of recovery like SMART (self management and recovery training).
"AA saved my life, and SMART gave me my life back." It's something I say often!
I was indoctrinated with the 12-step program model of recovery when I checked myself into a rehab facility in 2009. For the next 8 years, I attended AA and NA meetings on a weekly basis and relapsed into my drug and alcohol addictions every year or two. I found SMART in 2018 and haven't relapsed since. The evidence for me is that the SMART model of recovery is more effective. However, we're all different animals, so it's important to keep looking for something that works for you.
