Kris Roehling on Finding Sobriety Through Recovery Dharma
You don't have to be a Buddhist to be part of the community or check out meetings. This is a practice and a sangha, just like if we were doing a local recovery group or if we were a Buddhist group in The Himalayan Mountains that this is part of our practice.
Ever thought about blending Buddhism with your recovery journey? In this episode of Sober Company, Lacey Browne chats with Kris Roehling, the President of Recovery Dharma, a non-profit organization that offers a Buddhist-informed path to overcoming addiction. Kris opens up about her personal experiences with Recovery Dharma and how its teachings have transformed her life. They dive into Buddhism 101, discussing the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, and how these principles can aid in sobriety.
One of the highlights is that you don’t need to be a Buddhist to benefit from the program; it’s all about the practice and community support. The conversation also touches on nonviolent communication and avoiding spiritual bypassing, ensuring that recovery is a holistic and inclusive journey. Kris and Lacey even find time to talk about the importance of fun and play in maintaining sobriety.
If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
