This is a self help group dedicated to providing the tools and information to defeat self harming activity such as alcohol and drug abuse, eating disorders, self harm/cutting, gambling, sex addiction, and more. SMART Recovery is a Cognitive Behavior and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (CBT/REBT) type of recovery program based on science and proven technics. For more information, and to create an online profile (anonymous or otherwise) please go to the website below. My name is Jeremy and I am a facilitator of the SR program here in Whitehorse, Yukon. I am also participant of the program. I have been making presentations on SR for the inpatient programs at Alcohol & Drug Services for a while now. I have received a lot of positive feedback regarding the program each time I give a presentation. For this reason, I believe it is time to 'give back' and step up the availability of SR for the Yukon. While Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous are well established and effective treatment programs for some people, I found it did not work for me for many reasons. I began a search for other recovery programs to help me with my harmful practices and came across SR. The program has been very successful for me and I do not see an end to my sobriety using the tools the program offers. This page is a general information page regarding the program, recovery studies, and success stories. It is a stepping stone to entering the program. I have created a closed group for those interested in entering the program, for setting up meetings and/or presentations, and direct discussion about the recovery process. It is separate for confidentiality reasons. If you are interested in working towards reducing harmful activities, I encourage you to give SMART Recovery a try. Feel free to send me a message and I will add you to the closed group or you can email me at smartrecoveryyukon@gmail.com
If you know anyone who may benefit from the SR program, feel free to share this page, it is for everyone. Welcome to a new chapter in your life.
