Abby Foster, LISW-CP, MAC, facilitator of our new support group, Living With Grief and Loss, answers some FAQs.

The support group provides a community and a safe place for individuals to share their experiences about the impact of loss due to addiction.

During the first meeting, I felt at home and that I was in a safe space where the other men in the group could understand where I was without any judgment.

My glass isn’t half empty anymore, it’s half full thanks to SMART and the tools that come with it.

SMART Recovery has helped millions of people around the world beat their addictions and lead rich, happy, healthy lives.

Our group is inclusive, free of judgment, and a safe space for anyone in our community.
