What's Smart Recovery? Had to look it up. Says wikipedia:

SMART Recovery (Self Management and Recovery Training) is an international non-profit organization which provides assistance to individuals seeking abstinence from addictive behaviors. The approach used is secular and science-based using non-confrontational motivational, behavioral and cognitive methods. Substance/activity dependence is viewed by the organization as a dysfunctional habit (rather than a disease), while allowing that it is possible that certain people have a predisposition towards addictive behavior.

Not the Twelve Steps. CBT, not HP. Enjoy.

Stress Reduction Worksheets

A series of free stress management worksheets designed for use with a not-free CD from stresscds.co.uk. You may find yourself able to stumble through without the audio. On the site, four CBT-infused printables:

• Stress Diary
  
• Thought Record
  
• Key Questions
  
• Facing Up to Your Fears
  

Meanwhile, remember to breathe.

DBT Extras

More DBT help at--where else?--dbtselfhelp.com. These DBT Extras include:

• Diary Cards
• Flow Charts
• Cognitive Distortions
• Behavior Chain Analysis

...among other items. Again, the Skills Training Manual is your best bet for figuring out what to do with these. Make Marsha Linehan smile. But, then, that costs.

ADHD Resources

Not worksheets, but helpful nonetheless--here are two government-produced booklets about ADHD, posted at ed.gov.

• Identifying and Treating ADHD
  
• Teaching Children with ADHD

Building Self-Esteem

Not-too-pricey and not-too-shabby for a self-esteem workout:  The Self-Esteem Workbook (link goes to TW Bookstore).  Also, again from SAMHSA, here's a free list of self-esteem building activities--affirmations, lists, and exercises.  Because you're worth it!

PTSD How-Tos

These aren't exactly worksheets--they're "how-to" pages from about.com.  But they're easily cut & pasted.  Soon you'll have more PTSD worksheets than you know what to do with, among them:

• How to Reduce Stress by Deep Breathing 
  
• How to Use Self-Monitoring for PTSD
  
• How to Take a Time Out from Anger

Worth noting:  These skills aren't necessarily PTSD-specific and about.com isn't a therapist.  But try 'em out.
