Synopsis

Bestselling author and renowned Buddhist teacher Noah Levine adapts the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and Eight Fold Path into a proven and systematic approach to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction—an indispensable alternative to the 12-step program.While many desperately need the help of the 12-step recovery program, the traditional AA model's focus on an external higher power can alienate people who don't connect with its religious tenets. Refuge Recovery is a systematic method based on Buddhist principles, which integrates scientific, non-theistic, and psychological insight.Viewing addiction as cravings in the mind and body, Levine shows how a path of meditative awareness can alleviate those desires and ease suffering. Refuge Recovery includes daily meditation practices, investigations that explore the causes and conditions of our addictions, and advice and inspiration for finding or creating a community to help you heal and awaken.Practical yet compassionate, Levine's successful Refuge Recovery system is designed for anyone interested in a non-theistic approach to recovery and requires no previous experience or knowledge of Buddhism or meditation.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Life changing! I'm using this book to supplement my recovery, along with a 12-step group. Many don't recommend this, and find the two programs incompatible. I, on the other hand, was able to see the similarities, and actually called upon the Three Jewels as my Higher Power. 12-step literature is gre......more

Goodreads review by Sara on June 22, 2023

I appreciated and enjoyed this Buddhist absorption of the 12 steps. It's always good to read dharma, but it's even better to read how its medicine can be readily applied to addiction. Anyone who has a problem with the God language in 12 step literature might get a lot out of this book.......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on April 03, 2022

Brilliant, simple, and a well grounded approach to recovery inspired by the teaching of The Buddha. Levine crafts a simple vision for a strong community of recovery, a solid non-sequential adventure/path for anyone to follow. For the Addict reading this review: This is a refreshing modern approach to......more
