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.
