“When I was drinking and using, I had problems, but I couldn’t deal with them. When I gave up drinking and using, I still had problems, but I could deal with them.”
That is how Kevin Griffin describes the real difference recovery made in his life.
This course is for people in recovery, people considering recovery, and anyone looking for practical tools to work with cravings, difficult emotions, and old patterns. Kevin Griffin is a Buddhist teacher, author, and person in long-term recovery, but this is not a course about becoming Buddhist. He uses mindfulness, meditation, and Buddhist-informed ideas as tools for recovery, not as religious instruction. Kevin teaches from lived experience, not judgment, and shares practices that have helped him and many others build a more honest, steady way of living.
Along the way, you will learn simple mindfulness and meditation practices you can use on your own, even in a small space. You will practice noticing your thoughts, working with cravings and triggers, and treating yourself with more kindness.
