Recovery Pathways

Plain-language explainers of every major recovery program, spiritual and secular.

What is SMART Recovery?

A secular, science-based alternative to the 12 steps — built around practical tools you can use the moment a craving hits.

What is Narcotics Anonymous (NA)?

A worldwide, free fellowship where the only thing that matters is the desire to stop using — whatever the drug.

What is Al-Anon?

Recovery is not only for the person who drinks. Al-Anon is for everyone whose life has been shaped by someone else's drinking.

What is Recovery Dharma?

A peer-led path that meets craving with mindfulness rather than willpower, drawing on the Buddhist understanding of suffering and its end.

What is Celebrate Recovery?

A Christian recovery community for anyone carrying a hurt, a hang-up, or a habit — not just substance addiction.

What is LifeRing Secular Recovery?

Strengthen the part of you that wants to be sober — through honest conversation, not steps or doctrine.

What is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)?

The most widely known recovery program in the world is also one of the simplest: people who have stopped drinking, helping each other stay stopped.

What is Cocaine Anonymous (CA)?

A 12-step fellowship that started with cocaine but welcomes anyone done with mind-altering substances of any kind.
