SMART Family & Friends Handbook
Are you looking to help a loved one with an addiction?
Is someone else’s addiction negatively affecting you?
Designed for people affected by the addictive behavior of a loved one, this 138-page Handbook contains 14 sections with a wide range of topics including Change and Motivation, Positive Communication, Healthy Boundaries, Safety, and Support, Coping with Lapses, Disable the Enabling, Trust and Forgiveness – and much more. It can be used in conjunction with attendance at SMART Family & Friends (F&F) online or community meetings, or on its own.
The Handbook includes SMART Recovery’s tools for coping in a healthy way with the many emotionally challenging situations frequently encountered in relationships where addiction is a factor. A Family & Friends meeting participant states: “I came to SMART to get help dealing with my partner’s addiction. What I got are tools that help me deal more effectively with almost every aspect of MY life.”
Additionally, the Handbook incorporates the principles of the evidence-based CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) approach. Studies have shown CRAFT to be significantly more effective than either Al-Anon or Johnson interventions for getting addicted individuals into treatment.
Successful Life Skills 2nd Edition
Successful Life Skills are the epitome of what the recovery movement represents.

This new manual is by far the easiest, most targeted, and user-friendly treatment tool available today. It meets standards for evidence-based treatment, follows a natural progression, and can be used in either facilitator-led or participant-led groups. SMART Recovery and NIDA’s evidence-based InsideOut Correctional Program have been used in prisons and jails around the world over the last 22 years to great effect. Successful Life Skills has upgraded this program for the 21st Century, extending the program components and including many valuable and relevant life skills. Focused and thoughtful reading of this book will instill HOPE in people who wish to make changes in their lives and the POWER to make them.
