On the one hand, I am inclined to believe that people reap what they sow, but on the other hand, I also know that is their addiction talking, driving them to see other substance abusers as trustworthy, even if they are anything but.

It would probably be good if all recovery groups adopted such precautions.
I agree.

SMART really does take member safety very seriously. There is a code of conduct, and it is enforced.
