Thank you, I am so excited. I received my welcome letter from the treatment center today, the brochure describes the program as "evidence based" and it's associated with the UW Hospital. I was surprised to find so many SMART meetings in my area on the SMART recovery website, the last time I attended a few years ago there was only one so it's good to see that SMART is growing in my area. I also found on the website for the UW Hospital that they have done studies looking at the effectiveness of Buddhist type meditation in aiding sobriety. I do feel lucky to have these resources so near by.
