We have some good discussions about SMART, LifeRing, and to a lesser extent RR over on the Secular Connections - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information (SC) section of the forum.

SMART broke off of RR due to some legit issues and Albert Ellis (the founder of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) went to SMART which, unlike RR, has meetings which discuss the tools used to help those with addictions.

Personally, I don't like RR because they charge to post at their bulletin board, and seem focused on hating AA as much as CBT (which they call AVRT).

I hope to see you over at SC!
