Sounds great.
I tried SMART and really liked it, but couldn't find a good group, there were a few people who were probably schizophrenic and were too sick to really help me with their own problems. It is cognitive based, which is good, but you do need to have a fair amount of empathy as well, and have very good listening skills. Steering towards a solution is the end goal, but making people comfortable talking is crucial, and if they need some "warm up" time, if you're TOO abrupt you're going to lose them.
Service is about them, not you, although I think the benefits for doing it for recovery are huge.
