Finding Peace in Pain: A Buddhist Approach to Recovery

Being in refuge at one point means, hey, I need some help.
Ever thought about how you might handle severe pain without reaching for opiates? In this episode of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast, Darren Littlejohn opens up about his own journey through two agonizing weeks of dental pain, all while maintaining his sobriety. But it’s not just about enduring discomfort; it’s about finding refuge and compassion in the process. Littlejohn blends the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism with Western neuropsychology to offer a fresh perspective on recovery.
He shares practical tools like meditation, ibuprofen, and even the power of not resisting suffering. Through his personal story, Littlejohn highlights the importance of asking for help—a cornerstone in both Buddhism and recovery. If you’re looking for a compassionate approach to managing pain and staying sober, this episode is a must-listen.
