There are interesting parallels between stoicism and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a form of which (REBT) is taught in SMART. CBT classes are common in addiction treatment programs, though I've never taken one myself.

When I think of stoicism, I think of calm reason in the face of emotional upheavals, which is a part of it. I found that came naturally to me in addiction recovery, and has stayed with me through the years since then. Serenity is a good word, also used in addiction recovery circles (primarily but not exclusively AA). Not much rattles me anymore, and not for long. I don't fully understand why, and it doesn't really matter, but it's been a very positive benefit of not being chained to an addictive drug and jumping from false peace (=drunk) to false peace.
