It took me years to get SMART to delete "Termination" from their published version. SMART, essentially had a model of 18 months being finished in one's recovery. I've been working my recovery for over 40 years and I'm not finished. I hope to be dead before I'm finished. Simply, for those of us recovering from addiction, "Termination" implies Cure over Remission. And, for some of us Termination is death thru relapse. So, when I teach the model I add the last stage, added to the original "Relapse and/or Return." I wish we'd stop teaching the Termination stage. I talked to Dr. DiClemente after taking a seminar from him years ago. He agreed, especially for smokers, there is no Termination as one can relapse at many, many years nicotine free. That's why, I believe, Termination is not in their original model. Still, a very good video. Thank you for posting.
