Buddhism & the Twelve Steps Daily Reflections offers teachings for every day of the year to support your recovery. Daily reflection is at the heart of both Buddhist practice and Twelve Step programs. With the Buddhist emphasis on staying in the present moment and the Twelve Step admonition to take things "one day at a time," the importance of not getting lost in the past or future is clear. With guidance on mindfulness meditation and thoughts on working the Steps, Buddhism & the Twelve Steps Daily Reflections provides a wide range of tools for healing and spiritual growth.

The book is organized in a "Step of the Month" format making it useful, as well, as a Step study. If you want to focus on a particular Step, you can go to that month and read those pages. The book introduces basics of Buddhism, thoughts on the challenges of recovery, and guidance for a daily mindfulness practice. Each reflection offers a theme to carry into your daily life and inspire your recovery. An excellent reader for a recovery group or individual.
