When dealing with urges, difficult conversations,

When dealing with urges, difficult conversations, or high-stress situations, having a clear communication tool can make all the difference. SMART Recovery uses the DENTS strategy to help you navigate challenging moments with confidence and self-empowerment:

D – Describe: State the situation objectively using facts, avoiding exaggeration or judgment.

E – Express: Communicate your thoughts and feelings clearly using direct "I" statements.

N – Negotiate: Propose a fair, realistic solution or outcome that supports your boundaries.

T – Think: Reflect on the potential consequences—short and long term—for yourself and others.

S – Support: Prioritize self-care, emotional safety, and your personal recovery goals throughout the process.

Whether you are looking to manage urges, set healthier boundaries, or build stronger relationships, DENTS offers a practical framework you can use every day.

💚 What is SMART Recovery?

SMART Recovery (Self-Management and Recovery Training) is a free, science-based, secular program that helps people manage addictive behaviors — built on your values and your goals.

Its 4-Point Program:
1️⃣ Build and maintain motivation
2️⃣ Cope with urges and cravings
3️⃣ Manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
4️⃣ Live a balanced life

Why consider joining? Meetings are free and led by trained facilitators, with no long-term commitment. The language is inclusive with no religious content. The focus is on your strengths and skills, not labels — and there is never a requirement to share.

📅 Join us every Monday, 6:00–7:00 PM at the Sussex Pride Community Center for our LGBTQIA+ SMART Recovery meeting — a welcoming, affirming space where recovery is stronger in community.

Questions? Email recovery@sussexpride.org. Learn more at smartrecovery.org.
