I thought they were basically the same when I first started RR, but they are not, I now understand the basic difference between the two, and why Trimpey says "stay away from recovery groups" There is nothing wrong with you, the Beast doesn't understand the difference between rational and irrational thinking, it doesn't think.
Trimpey and SMART had a falling out. So they have the same base but simply went different directions. People are often confused about SMART Meetings. They aren't social or like other forms of meetings we are familiar with. SMART Meetings are there to guide you to use the tools in the handbook so that you can walk away with the ability to becoming a more balanced person.The irrational thinking in SMART isn't drinking or using but real life situations that get on our nerves or are unhealthy.
Like I've said before I do get things from both RR and SMART.
