Relapse and Recovery
I, unfortunately, let a slip turn into a relapse. I've been tapering alcohol and scheduled with my doctor to quit again. But is it appropriate to start attending SMART meetings, even though I'm still drinking. I ordered some of the books and align with SMART more than other programs.
Background: I've had two sober stints. My most recent one lasted nearly a year and I went to a virtual SMART meeting once. Figured a support group would help it stick. But, I got busy with life, had a celebratory event (why I slipped), and it led to this relapse. I'm tapering until my appointment, but want to begin rebuilding my tools. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Additionally, does the virtual program work well? Or are in-person meetings more helpful?
Edit: thanks to all for the advice! I'll definitely go to a virtual meeting this week. And hopefully get in-person the following.
