The author shares their personal journey in overcoming addiction. They describe themselves as an impulsive person who has struggled with all-or-nothing thinking, particularly when it comes to maintaining sobriety.
To address this, the author has joined a recovery group that bases its model on Buddhist principles, specifically the Four Noble Truths and the Eight Fold Path. The core belief of this program is that individuals have the power within themselves to overcome addiction, rather than being powerless.
A key aspect of the author's recovery is the practice of meditation, which they find challenging but beneficial. They acknowledge that calming the mind takes consistent practice and patience, and they are committed to working through the difficulties to master meditation.
The author emphasizes the importance of choice in overcoming suffering and addiction. They believe that by tapping into their inner wisdom and truth, and using mindfulness tools, they can alleviate their suffering rather than adding to it through substance use.
