Support for you
Practical support for your own recovery journey
SMART Recovery Ireland support for you is built around practical tools, peer support, and a clear sense of what happens in a meeting. If you are new to SMART Recovery, start with the basics and then choose the page or meeting that feels most useful.
What this support is
SMART Recovery support for you is practical, self-empowering, and focused on helping you manage change one step at a time. It is not about labels or pressure. It is about giving you tools, peer support, and a place to start.
What to expect
Meetings are usually structured but informal. You can listen first, take part when ready, and use the parts that feel useful. If you are new, the best next step is usually to find a meeting and read the short overview of how the programme works.
Family and friends
If someone else's addictive behaviour is affecting you, there is also support for family and friends. That page gives a higher-level introduction and points people towards the right support route.
A simple way to begin
You do not need to know everything before you start.
