I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha! What Is Recovery Dharma?

RMA-Episode 37 Show Notes:

Life is suffering. To anyone who has watched the sunrise in the parking lot of a cheap hotel after a few days of binging on drugs, the truth of this statement seems undeniable. There was a time when suffering and craving was all we knew. The good news is that according to Buddhist philosophy there is a way out. Suffering can be stopped. Find out how by listening to Mike and Nat review Dharma Recovery, the book and the program, this week on RMA. 

 

Recovery In The News this week asks, what’s the best way to care for and feed your alcoholic when the liquor stores are closed,  and the Week in Weird finds little green men on the march in Bolivia. 

 

Oh, and we also celebrate Nat’s graduation from college and shine a light on the idea of toxic positivity. Not that these things are related, but they are on the same show, so strap in and hang on because we go deep this week.

 

All this and more on an enlightening, self-aware, relentlessly positive episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages.

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step on the road to recovery.
