TIPS AND TOOLS for RECOVERY that WORKS!
 [NEW VIDEO] The ABCs of Coping with Urges
Inspired by REBT, SMART Recovery’s tool “THE ABCs of COPING WITH URGES” is a powerful way to deeply examine the beliefs we form after problems arise in our lives. We can’t always solve the problems themselves, but we can change what we believe and feel about them, and what we do (or don’t do) in response. Check out this helpful episode of “TIPS & TOOLS for RECOVERY that WORKS” to learn more, and stay tuned for our next episode coming soon! 

Take a few minutes and watch this video, then head over to our Toolbox to find a worksheet and crash course in the ABCs.
How an Online, Evidence-Based Recovery Tool Can Help You Stop Drinking
In an effort to increase the accessibility to treatment options, new technology-driven recovery resources have been created. These tools provide guidance, track and monitor urges, and help individuals create and follow a plan that leads to success. 

Designed to complement recovery meetings, evidence-based, online programs are scientifically proven to help participants stop drinking and maintain abstinence. These apps and tools can also serve as a confidential and convenient first step to change for recovery newcomers who aren’t ready for face-to-face or online mutual help group meetings.

Learn how the features of online self-management programs can speed up and support recovery success.
