Title says it all!
Anyone have any experience with SMART Recovery? I've tried AA but am not sure it's a good fit for me. My therapist suggested trying SMART Recovery. I'm going to try it but wondered what others think of it.
I'm not a fan of AA/NA, I'm so glad it's working for a lot of people but it's not fitting for me. I'm in an IOP program currently for alcohol and they're really pushing us to go to AA meetings. I'm having trouble with some of their concepts and I'm looking for something different and more focused. Have any of you read/tried SMART? I recently came across a group and the book. Plan on reading it tonight, but wanted opinions and insights from people who have been here.
Hey everyone,
Just looking for some guidance.
What have been your experiences with the facilitators for the SMART recovery online meetings?
I would prefer in-person meetings, but, y’know…
Have the meetings been helpful and informative for you? I’ve never been to any type of meeting before and am leaning more towards SMART because I’m not interested in Christian-based recovery (AA, NA).
Thank you kindly. :)
Mad bender over the holidays. I'm not into AA but I need to do something. I've looked at the smart website and am curious as to how it all works?
Hello all and thanks in advance for any responses I get.
I have been gradually working on addressing my mental issues that lead to my drinking episodes, but recently have fully committed to the idea I can never drink again. I am currently going to therapy and AA meetings multiple times a week, but SMART recovery in the way it is described is something that I feel I would relate with well.
Does anyone have any experience with SMART recovery or have any information they can share? There does not appear to be an active community on reddit and the website while active seems dated. Is the program still active? AA is a useful tool to have at my disposal, but I would like exposure to as many resources as possible to find what works for me.
I just started doing this and love it. What I like about it as opposed to AA is that it actually gives you advice on how to stay sober in early recovery. AA pretty much just tells you to pray. AA clearly helps people, but it didn't do jack for me.
I'm pretty new at all this, so I'm sure the issue is my fault, but I don't know what I did wrong.
Mephisto CDLC
6 weeks old
Ffof 3 gal
2x 100w LED (bloomspect SL600)
Calmag/tiger bloom
First time grower.
I need some advice from experienced growers as to what my next steps here should be.
This plant has been showing what looks to be a Ph issue or calmag deffeciency for a few weeks. The light green colors on a few of the leaves has now turned a rust or orange color and the bud production is behind my other 2 plants. I don't have a ppm meter yet, but my runoff ph is low - in the 5 range. I never watered it to runoff until a few waterings ago, and I'm wondering if it's salt buildup. I have been ph-ing the water to 6.5 for a few weeks - before that it was getting 8ph from the tap. The soil is ffof, and she is 6 weeks old today. The last few water/feeds have been as follows;
6.5 water - 1tbsp epsom salt per gallon.
6.5 water - 1tbsp epsom salt per gallon
6.5 water
6.5 water - calmag half strength
6.5 water - tiger bloom at ¼ strength
6.5 water - calmag full strength
6.5 water
6.5 water - calmag full/tiger bloom ½ strength.
I don't know if I should flush, or even the proper way to flush. I am worried that the clock is ticking and lockout has probably begun.
Plants 2 and 3 - are both starting to flower.
Can I defoliate a little to help light reach budsites? The top fan leaves are the most obstructive, can I chop those off? Will lollipopping give me the big colas that I see on this sub?
And is tiger bloom the right nute to use now? They were in ffof for 5 weeks before I gave them small doses of it. I have a decent grow shop in my city so I can go grab whatever I need tomorrow.
This is my first grow, and I know I'm screwing some things up, but I'm having a great time learning, even if I'm only the occasional smoker. Thanks so much to this sub and everyone in it.
Recently I have been struggling with the relationship with my wife. Some time ago as part of my becoming Pornfree I started to seek counseling, specifically from a CSAT, the 6 CSAT's I've contacted are all full with waitlists and while I'm "on the list" my future seems unsure. I also tried to set a meeting with a "regular" consoler as I feel like a big part of my current struggles are personal relationship based and maybe that would help me until a CSAT is available. Unfortunately most conventional therapists I could find were business hours only, I didn't think that was a problem as I have a "flexible" work schedule with my cooperate job and I'm like 50/50 remote. Go figure a few days before my appointment and I had a work item pop up that required me to travel the time I had scheduled so I canceled and haven't re-scheduled. I feel like I've made good progress on becoming sober but I have a lot of work to do on the reasons I used and all of that and this fight to get help is really making me feel like I'm stuck in Limbo and hopeless to really recover. I checked out the wiki on resources again and it looks like there is a SMART meeting nearby in a typically off hours time slot that I could check out. Anyone have experience with this? I feel a bit terrified about this type of support and that's holding me back.
What are people's advice on the above two. I have been to an online smart recovery meeting a few times and found it helpful but not sure if AA is any better or I might benefit from face to face meetings which I can only do with AA
I sent FTM to my Bitfinex wallet and didn't realise that they were sent from a smart contract, which can't be automatically processed by Bitfinex. I raised a ticket with Bitfinex and was told they would have to recover the tokens. I then heard nothing for x2 weeks and had to follow up on the ticket for them to actually do anything where they then investigated and told me they will charge me 10% of the tokens (minimum 500 USD) to recover the tokens and will not give me any timeframe for when the tokens will be recovered.
Obviously it is my fault for not checking that the tokens were being sent from a smart contract (a warning on the Bitfinex deposit page seems sensible though) but to charge me so much and then not even give me a timeframe for recovery seems like really poor service to me, after this experience I don't think I will be using this exchange again.
I would be interested in if anyone has experienced anything similar or if anyone knows the average timeframe taken to recover tokens that were inadvertently deposited from a smart contract.

Hello,
My pc started freezing two days ago and long story short, the HDD in the title upped and died.
BIOS pauses on the SMART status bad error, but is still seeing the correct drive model and size. Win 10 can see the drive in disk manager, listing it as uninitialized, but it's not appearing in Linux Mint. I swapped SATA ports and cables, but no dice. There's a faint clicking sound as it tries to spin up that was only apparent after I opened up my case, so it's now sitting on top of my bookcase in a static-free bag for the weekend, since none of the local data recovery places are open on Saturday (I live in Rome, Italy).
I think it was around 75% full, but can't remember off the top of my head because I was all set to do one of my periodic data organization overhauls this weekend. Shoulda done it last weekend. 😣
Realistically speaking, what are my chances for recovery, just how hard a hit will my wallet take, and what should I look out for/be wary of when scouting a recovery center?
I don't do 12 step and god stuff.
I am not sure where to begin. I’ve gone to OA before and going to meetings took an emotional toll in itself. I’m just not ready yet to admit to friends and family that I’m back at that stage In my life (though I know it would help, just not ready yet for dealing w others emotions) mainly my mom and family bc they worry excessively and my moms too critical as is.
I haven’t exhausted all resources yet on my own I feel in regards to meal planning, support systems through Reddit, online meetings, etc. I remember being frustrated with OA with the lack of help in meetings on the actual work involved, rather than just the spiritual mantra fix. My sponsor didn’t give me good advice really for any meal plan and i had 0 accountability that I couldn’t easily lie about.
Does anyone have a good first start advice of what made you accountable that wasn’t actually going physically to a meeting? I did my first post today about my meal plan I’m attempting for IE and I feel that’s at least a start. Any tips/friends/advice of any kind much appreciated ❤️ I’ve had history of bulimia but got over that and just became a binge eating monster. Have had periods of sobriety but relapsed and now feel a bit wiser and dumber at the same time. My period of sobriety came naturally to me, but not for reasons that are healthy (love drugs in relationship, substance abuse, was skinny enough I never had to restrict or worry about weight thus never binged)
Is there a way of having smart recovery work for only one comfort setting? For example can I just have it active for the morning when we’re getting ready for work M-F , but not active for my weekend or night profiles so there is no pre warming at those times or is it best to leave it off and make a new comfort setting for just that time frame? Thanks
i went to AA 4 or 5 meetings a week for 2 months and it wasnt for me. How is smart different? Was it useful for you guys who found AA wasnt for you?
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with SMART Recovery for families & friends? I was thinking of trying to perhaps join one of these meetings. I participate in the Al Anon subreddit and really appreciate it but I feel like SMART's approach is more in line with my own philosophy.
Thanks so much!
I think doing some meetings could be beneficial. There's isn't much discussion here lately about these meetings and their subreddits are kinda dusty (like a year since the last post). Any experiences or preferences?
I did start listening to the Refuge Recovery book, but to be honest, it seemed overly complicated. Which is weird b/c it's based on Buddhism, which is something I'm fairly versed in. Still, I appreciate your thoughts. TIA
Does anyone have experience with Smart recovery meetings vs AA?
There's some in my area, but they be er quite seem to materialize.
Has anybody joined smart recovery? My only options are online meetings.. has anyone had any experience with this?
