In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch reads from the insightful book 'Recovery Dharma: How to Use Buddhist Practices and Principles to Heal the Suffering of Addiction'. This isn't just a dry reading; Matt brings the teachings to life, showing how they can help break free from obsessive or habitual behaviors, including alcohol addiction. Recovery Dharma is more than just a program—it's a community-driven movement.
Rooted in Buddhist teachings, it offers a unique approach to recovery that emphasizes meditation, radical honesty, and community support. Matt dives into the essence of dharma, exploring its potential to guide you towards freedom from addiction. He explains the importance of establishing a regular meditation practice, both within meetings and in your daily life, as a cornerstone of this recovery method. You'll also hear about the significance of building relationships within a recovery community.
This isn't just about attending meetings; it's about forming connections that support your journey and help others on theirs. Matt touches on the four noble truths and the eightfold path, illustrating how these principles can be integrated into your recovery efforts. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on recovery, one that blends ancient wisdom with practical steps, this episode is for you.
