In this episode of 5 FAQs by EHN Canada, we sit down with Mark Nasmith, author of Float, Move and Fight, to take a closer look at SMART Recovery and how it approaches addiction and recovery.
Mark breaks down what SMART Recovery is, how it differs from 12-Step programs, and what someone can expect when they attend their first meeting. We also explore some of the common misconceptions about SMART Recovery, the strengths and limitations of its Four-Point Program, and the parts of recovery that can be the most challenging to work through.
Whether you are considering SMART Recovery yourself, supporting someone in recovery, or simply want to better understand the different approaches available, this conversation offers an honest and practical look at SMART Recovery and where it fits within the broader recovery landscape.
