The combination of Buddhist teachings and 12-step recovery transformed my life completely.
My recovery journey began with traditional 12-step programs, which provided the foundation for sobriety.
To begin this new year of 2025, I have written an article which explains how living simply by proven guidelines of AA and Buddha’s teachings, can lead to some kind of peace.
“Stop and consider. It wasn’t that long ago you were firecracker hot on a Saturday night, barrelling out of control down the track! You were a runaway train destined for disaster! You were caught up in calamity. Now, you’ve stopped feeding the junkie worm. You have begun feeding your destiny with possibilities from sobriety. You have moments of experiencing true serenity. You have come a long way, baby!
It’s not nirvana, paradise, or utopia. It’s simply living without being dominated by craziness and crisis”.

“Once we forgive ourselves and fully embrace our humanness, it’s almost funny to see how seamlessly we can adapt to life’s transitions — how we outgrow what we once thought we couldn’t live without, and then we fall in love with what we didn’t even know we wanted. Take this to heart. And don’t forget to pause regularly to appreciate how far you’ve come. You’ve been through a lot, and you’ve grown a lot, too. Give yourself credit for the steps you’ve taken, so you can step forward again with grace”.
