- SMART Recovery Support Group - MondaysHumanist Community Center, Mesa, AZ
Are you or somebody you know suffering from an addiction to a substance or behavior? Are you looking for a secular support group for those addictions?
We all know about other 12-step groups and the lack of a scientific basis for support, but what about programs for the non-believer? Introducing, SMART recovery!
There are meetings every Monday and Tuesday. This event is free and open to the public.
Our Purpose
To support individuals who are struggling with addictive behaviors (substances or activities), as well as the concerned significant others of people who struggle with addictions. Our program is evidence based, and helps participants build and maintain motivation, cope with urges, manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and live a balanced life. Our facilitator is also trained in assisting family members. We focus on learning how to help without "enabling", how to set boundaries, and discussing self-care activities.Our Approach
- Teaches self-empowerment and self-reliance.
- Encourages individuals to recover and live satisfying lives.
- Teaches tools and techniques for self-directed change.
- Meetings are educational and include open discussions.
- Advocates the appropriate use of prescribed medications and psychological treatments.
- Evolves as scientific knowledge of addiction recovery evolves. If you wish to attend but prefer to RSVP confidentially, send a Meetup Message to one of our hosts. Need to know more? Check out their videos: SMART Recovery

Thursday Zoom coffee talk!
Note that the RSVP list usually understates the number of attendees by quite a bit. We do get a good turnout and we do have great conversations. Everybody is respectful of each other and everyone gets to talk more than enough. We are continuing to be on Zoom only for this weekly event.
