I’ve made some great friends and learn skills to help me live the life I want to live.
SMART Recovery San Diego holds over forty meetings per week, both in person and online. Most meetings last an hour, unless otherwise noted. We respect your privacy; whether a meeting is face-to-face or over Zoom, you can identify by first name only or by a pseudonym. While we believe that active participation in meetings is beneficial to you and the group, no one is required to participate. You may always “pass” if you are called on. Verifications are available at all meetings unless a meeting’s description says otherwise.
SMART Recovery San Diego meetings focus on current evidence-based recovery knowledge, but how a meeting is run is up to the individual facilitator of each meeting. This allows us to offer a broad array of meetings, each with its own individual style, feel or mood.
In the meeting listings, you’ll notice different types of meetings. Discussion meetings are the most common type of meeting in San Diego, but there are other kinds of meetings.
Here’s a brief description of the basic format that can generally be expected at each type of meeting:

I like that meetings can be in-person or online.
