I have learned through SMART Recovery many things in my life that could be improved. Many of these things have nothing to do with using. I have learned to prioritize the things that I would like to change, and I am seeing the world with new eyes. I have seen where I have judged others harshly and hurt my relationships because I blame. I have learned how to prevent this in the future. I have shown others that I am a new person through my actions now. I have discovered that *gasp* I am also right sometimes. I have gone from someone who sat at home all day watching TV to a full time university student. I still have some very hard days but SMART helps me put things in perspective and 'very hard' days aren't as impossible as they used to be.
