Day One Again
Hello everyone, I'm glad to be back here. After three months sober I started back to drinking beer and liquor and smoking weed for several months until I got sick and tired of living that way and being miserable and unstable. Today is my first day sober again and it feels great already! I'm determined and motivated to permanently abstain this time. I'm going to try and make it to a meeting today and I'm seriously thinking about buying the SMART Recovery Handbook and giving SMART a try, I've been interested in it ever since hearing about it. I hope you all are doing well.

That is wonderful! I am on my way to a meeting now- two in a row.
I love to sit back enjoy my coffee and hear another alcoholic's experience/strength and hope.
You sound positive. It really is not a punishment to get Sober. Its the best gift we can give ourselves... One day at a time you can do this.

Is the SMART material no longer available for free? I downloaded a lot of the material back in 2006 when it was available for free. I think at some point it was all assembled into a handbook but back in 2006 it was a lot of PDF handout type material.
Where I live there's only one SMART meeting a week, at 9am on a Saturday and it's several miles away. I've always fancied going but as I don't drive it's a nightmare to get to which would involve having to get two buses and an hour and a half journey each way. There used to be a SMART meeting in my town but it didn't attract enough people to make it worthwhile running. That's why the guy that was running the meetings directed me to the UK SMART website which had all the free material as he said it was at least useful to read the material if the group meeting was no longer going to take place.
