[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 529674, member: 1967"] That's me. I'm the one that posted about Smart Recovery. My difficult child goes to face-to-face and online meetings. She didn't like NA or AA meetings but likes the smart recovery meetings. They are focused on a science approach to brain recovery rather than spiritual approach with a focus on a higher power. difficult child had problems with the religious aspect of NA and AA. You can go to their website and find the locations but as exhausted said, there are not near as many as AA/NA. We only found three days a week face-to-face meetings but there are also online meetings 1 or 2 times a day. Sometimes they are hard to get into, though. The only allow 35 people in the meeting and after that they close the meeting. difficult child is also attending a DBT program and we find that the two work well together. I attended the first meeting with her and while I have never been to an AA meeting so I can't compare, the meeting seemed very informal with a lot of cross-talk which difficult child liked. by the way, I don't think I've had a chance to welcome you to the CD community and the SA forum. I'm glad that you found us. Keep posting. The people here have all experienced having a loved one with addiction issues. We don't hve all the answers but will be here to listen and offer support. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
