The thing is, after a few meetings, I'm kind of like, oh my god, it's the same fucking thing. I have no idea how you would recover from a serious addiction without a spiritual experience of some kind, and this is something I've been working on since.
Starting a recovery meeting might seem daunting, but Darren Littlejohn makes it approachable in Episode 043 of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast. This episode dives into the essentials of Compassionate Recovery, a healing approach that blends Tibetan Buddhist wisdom and modern neuropsychology. Littlejohn, drawing from his extensive knowledge, shares a practical meeting format and offers guidance on how to get started. He highlights the importance of creating a respectful and private environment for participants.
In addition, the episode touches on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impact on addiction, offering scientifically tested methods to address these deep-rooted issues. Littlejohn also discusses bodhisattva practices, Chenrezig, and the Mahayana tradition, providing a spiritual framework that can support recovery. Whether you're looking to start your own meeting or deepen your understanding of Compassionate Recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
