Self-Management And Recovery Training (SMART) is a global community of mutual-support groups. At meetings, participants help one another resolve problems with any addiction (to drugs or alcohol or to activities such as gambling or over-eating). Participants find and develop the power within themselves to change and lead fulfilling and balanced lives guided by our science-based and sensible 4-Point Program®.

Recovery Dharma
2024-08-05 18:00 - 19:00, 2024-07-31 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Recovery Dharma is a Buddhist-inspired path to recovery and a community that uses the practices and principles of meditation, mindfulness, compassion, forgiveness, kindness and generosity to heal the suffering addiction has caused us as well as our loved ones. We feel confident in the power of the Buddha’s teachings, if applied, to relieve the suffering of addiction in anyone’s life.

10:30 Saturday Recovery Dharma Meeting
2024-08-03 10:30 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | The Moore Institute, 4126 Autumn Ln, Birmingham, AL, 35243, United States
Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.
We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together. We believe that recovery is rooted in finding our own inner wisdom and individual journeys.
Recovery Dharma is founded on, and inspired by, Buddhism that originated in India and later on flourished in other regions of Asia (e.g., South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia). We deeply appreciate the Buddhist heritage that was protected and freely offered by the ancestors of these cultures.
