Recovery Ramblings

“Addiction recovery mutual aid organizations have a long and rich international history, but the rate of growth and diversification of philosophy and methods of these organizations in recent decades is without historical precedent. What is emerging is an ever-growing network of secular, spiritual, and religious recovery mutual aid groups adapted to diverse cultural, political,and religious contexts yet increasingly connected into a larger global community of recovery via the power of the Internet. In the early weeks of 2013, I had the opportunity to interview Richard Phillips, one of the leaders of SMART Recovery in the UK. The interview provided the opportunity to touch on a wide variety of issues related to the history and future of SMART Recovery in the UK and to discuss SMART Recovery’s relationship with the larger recovery movement and the UK treatment system. Please join us in this engaging conversation.”
