I know there are people on here in SMART Recovery

I know there are people on here in SMART Recovery. I honestly am curious and want to know the difference between that and AA. I am 7 months sober and truly didn’t realize there is an alternative to AA.

That's a great concern. I hope some in SMART Recovery see this and comment about their experiences.

Hello! I've been to a few SMART Recovery meetings and enjoyed them. The difference that I found is that SMART uses cognitive behavior therapy to help folks change the way they view alcohol or their drug of choice. There are various tools used and exercises. I've only been to one AA meeting and although I enjoy the community aspect I didn't care to work the steps.
