What is AVRT & SMART?

Could someone kindly explain what these things are? Ive seen references to them but am clueless as to what they are about. Support groups of some kind? Thanks...

AVRT is something I just discovered, and I really like it, a lot:
Rational Recovery | The Crash Course On AVRT
Dunno about SMART, but pretty sure it's along the same lines as AVRT.
There is a section in this Forum that deals with AVRT, SMART and other remedies.

There is an SR forum that is devoted to discussing SMART, LifeRing, SOS, AVRT and other alternatives to 12 step programs. It's called Secular Connections because your religious and spiritual beliefs are yours and aren't relevant to the topics there.

I suggest that you google AVRT and SMART directly for information on these topics. That will give you an understanding of what they are and how they can help you, and you can also ask questions and participate in the discussions on that SR forum.

4. No Flaming: Posting of any content with the intention of disrupting the forum or inflaming members-be it on someone's person, religious beliefs, race, national background, sexual orientation, or recovery program. This includes flaming, flame baiting, registration of multiple accounts or impersonation of another member. Do not Harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress or discomfort upon another Online Forum participant. This includes flaming on our forums or other public forums.

No posts that attack, insult, "flame", defame, or abuse members or non-members. Respect other members of the community and don’t belittle, make fun of, or insult another member or non-member. Decisions about health and recovery are highly personal, individual choices. "Flaming" and insults, however, will not be tolerated. Agree to disagree. This applies to both the forums and chat.

Ignore bothersome members. If there is someone on the forum that bothers you, select the Ignore option on the drop down menu under their name on the post. You won't see any posts from this member again.

I just removed some posts that had very little to do with your original post.

Generally if you don't get a PM from me or another mod, you yourself have done nothing wrong windancer.
