One Breath at a Time by Kevin Griffin

One Breath at a Time by Kevin Griffin

Merging Buddhist mindfulness practices with the Twelve Step program, this updated edition of the bestselling recovery guide One Breath at a Time will inspire and enlighten you to live a better, healthier life.

Many in recovery turn to the Twelve Steps to overcome their addictions, but struggle with the spiritual program. But what they might not realize is that Buddhist teachings are intrinsically intertwined with the lessons of the Twelve Steps, and offer time-tested methods for addressing the challenges of sobriety.

In what is considered the cornerstone of the most significant recovery movement of the 21st century, Kevin Griffin shares his own extraordinary journey to sobriety and how he integrated the Twelve Steps of recovery with Buddhist mindfulness practices. With a new foreword by William Alexander, the author of Ordinary Recovery, One Breath at a Time takes you on a journey through the Steps, examining critical ideas like Powerlessness, Higher Power, and Moral Inventory through the lens of the core concepts of Buddhism-the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, mindfulness, loving-kindness, and more. The result is a book that presents techniques and meditations for finding clarity and awareness in your life, just as it has for thousands of addicts and alcoholics.

Kevin Griffin is the author of One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps, a seminal work that catapulted him to the forefront of the mindful recovery movement. Kevin has traveled extensively since the book's release, offering workshops and lectures in locales as different as Harlem, the Colorado Rockies, and Hawaii. He teaches Dharma and Rehabilitation at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kevin is also a co-founder and board member of the Buddhist Recovery Network (www.buddhistrecovery.org), an international organization that provides training, therapy, and research to persons in recovery. He continues to travel the country doing courses, talks, and retreats.
