I am part of a SMART group and that has helped me tremendously. I only go once a week, but I do my best not to miss it because of the support it provides. There is a whole philosophy of ABC's that are part of the program (and many groups follow them faithfully), but the gist of our group is to think the desire all the way through to the consequences. We point out things to one another that may not be so obvious because we're always in our own head.
Nobobdy gets beat up for slipping or a relapse, but we do try to hold each other accountable when it looks like we're talking out of both sides of our mouth and are ready to slip.
This group just works for me, and helps keep me sober.
