SMART Recovery Movie Meet Ups
We am absolutely delighted to announce that UK SMART Recovery are very proud to present our very first live streaming party with Recovery Movie Meet-Ups! 
Both screenings will be hosted by someone you may recognise….…none other than Mr Ted Perkins- former Hollywood studio executive and producer, a successful screenwriter, and SMART Recovery Facilitator (nicknamed, “The Tips and Tools Guy” from videos he hosts on the SMART Recovery YouTube channel.) 
We will be premiering ‘SWIM TUFF’, an amazing new feature film documentary about Ben Tuff, a man who found successful recovery from his alcohol addiction by embarking on long distance swimming challenges.
This premiere is COMPLETELY FREE to everyone in the UK recovery community and will take place on July 1 at 7pm BST (London) and then be rebroadcast on July 2 at 7pm BST (London) via YouTube Live Stream. The filmmakers will also be in attendance and there will be a Q & A session at the end of the screening!

SMART Recovery International’s first Global Survey is now live!
It’s not too late to complete our first global survey. Sadly we have not had many people complete it yet. If you use SMART Recovery please complete this essential survey as it will only come round once per year. We need as many UK participants to complete it as possible as want to be able to publish the results! This is a crucial first ever research driven participant survey. SMART Recovery is working with a team of researchers who are keen to understand more about who attends groups, how people feel about attending, the goals they set themselves and the ways that SMART Recovery may or may not be helpful.
The study involves a one-off survey that should only take around 30 minutes to complete.
If you might be interested in sharing your experience, this flyer gives a bit more info and a link to the survey. Have a look, see what you think and feel free to contact the researchers with any questions you might have.
