Buddhism Meets Recovery: Kevin Griffin's Journey
“Fundamentally, what makes Buddhism a really great tool for a recovery process or working with addiction is that the foundation teachings of Buddhism, the four noble truths, talk about suffering and that suffering is caused by clinging.”
Kevin Griffin, a renowned Buddhist teacher, joins Carl Erik Fisher in this thought-provoking episode of 'Flourishing After Addiction'. With over three decades in recovery and a deep practice in Buddhist meditation, Kevin shares how the principles of Buddhism can complement the 12-step program. He delves into the core Buddhist teaching that suffering stems from clinging, a concept that resonates deeply with addiction.
Kevin's journey is a testament to how integrating spiritual practices can aid in finding inner peace and overcoming addiction. The discussion also highlights the Buddhist Recovery Network, an organization Kevin co-founded to support those on their recovery journey through Buddhist teachings. Whether you're familiar with Buddhism or just curious about alternative recovery paths, Kevin's insights offer a fresh perspective on finding balance and serenity in sobriety.
