Does SMART have groups for “codependency”?
For the moment, individual counseling is one option for the significant others of individuals recovering from addictive behavior. They could also attend SMART meetings aiming to abstain from specific behaviors (“codependency”) that they may have developed in (maladaptive) response to the addictive behavior. SMART is intended for all addictive behavior (substances and activities), and enabling behavior can be considered as a form of addictive behavior by the enabler. If your locality has several individuals with these issues, you may wish to experiment with a specialized group for them. Then write a newsletter article telling us how it turned out.
