In this brief discussion, Speaker A emphasizes that no single addiction recovery program—whether 12‑step or SMART—is inherently superior; they claim comparable success rates across approaches. The key factor is personal preference and active engagement. Speaker A validates those who found 12‑step ineffective, stating they are not at fault, just mismatched with that method. Listeners are encouraged to explore alternatives, specifically SMART meetings, and to reach out to Dallas or attend Zach’s meetings, underscoring the principle that recovery should be a personal, chosen path.

that there's no one program that's better than the other. It's generally about the same success rate. But what matters is you picked it, you like it, and you engage with it.
Right, yeah.
So all those people who are like, I tried 12-step and it just didn't work for me, they were right. They're not assholes. They're just, it didn't work for them because it's not their thing. Find the thing that works for you. You know, check out a SMART meeting, talk to Dallas, go to Zach's meetings, but make it your choice. And that's what SMART is all about.
