Anyone into alternative recovery programs to AA?

[bif]

I've been doing SMART recovery and it's been quite effective. But I've heard of other programs like Recovery Dharma and one based on Native American traditions. Anyone have any recs?

1. Smart is good for our heads and stinking thinking. Dharma is great

for reactivity. I find meditating and sharing with the group very helpful. Have only done zoom mtgs with either, tho.

2. I'm not, but I know people who love Sober Faction &/or Recovery Dharma

Folks love both of them.

Sober Faction has chat groups, too.

Recovery Dharma is based upon Buddhist principles.

Enjoy!

3. For a while there was Rational Recovery

Not sure it exists anymore. Their writings were mostly about what was wrong with AA (which I mainly agreed with), but one thing they said really burrowed into my soul and became my interior mantra: “I will never drink again. I will never change my mind.”

4. One phrase I heard early in recovery was...

Don't focus on who you were, but on who you want to be. I think that's a pretty decent mantra for anyone, not just those in recovery.
