I'm a SMART Recovery Facilitator. We support informed choice. SMART provides tools, and you do you. I'm personally abstinence focused. Am I welcome here, or should I GTFO?

What I mean is: Is Stop drinking is a 12 step only sub, or is it a Stop drinking sub

I personally welcome alternative options to 12 step. IMHO, there's multiple paths to recovery and having options is a good thing.

SMART doesn't postulate itself as an alternative, but rather as a toolbox approach that helps people. We don't feel that we are THE way, but something that helps. Multiple paths to recovery is literally in the SMART mission. I call it the "paint rocks green" concept. If painting rocks green helps you achieve your goals, we'll support you and cheer you on. A lot of people in SMART do 12 step, Dharma, or whatever and SMART. If it helps you we are with you.
