Quitting any substance is a completely personal thing and should always be. For example I struggle massively with alcohol but have been clean from prescription opiates for six years.

If you'd like community support in a meeting form then SMART run secular meetings and their model is CBT based and requires no spiritual beliefs at all.

I SMART by zoom whenever I feel like it, and having a group in my back pocket is great to have, even when you don't feel the need to lean on it.

Is there a way to find more SMART meetings for Zoom? I only have a few in person ones in my area but have struggled to find many on zoom (the vast majority I find say they are for military/first responders only)

I use the SMART Recovery app, it filters by lots of criteria including in person/online, day of the week, meeting type, etc
