Mindfulness and the 12 Steps

Living Recovery in the Present Moment

By: Thérèse Jacobs-Stewart

Narrated by: Pam Ward

Serenity and sanity can seem like too much to hope for in the time of Coronavirus. This book invites us to take each day at a time, moment by moment, with awareness, attention, and mindfulness.

A fresh resource to help those in recovery from addiction find their own spiritual path through the Buddhist practice of mindfulness.

For those of us in recovery, Mindfulness and the 12 Steps offers a fresh approach to developing our own spiritual path through the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, or bringing one's awareness to focus on the present moment. We can revisit each of the Twelve Steps, exploring the interplay of ideas between mindfulness and Twelve Step traditions - from the idea of living "one day at a time" to the emphasis on prayer and meditation - and learn to incorporate mindfulness into our path toward lifelong sobriety.

Through reflections, questions for inquiry, and stories from Buddhist teachers and others who practice mindfulness in recovery, Mindfulness and the 12 Steps will help us awaken new thinking and insights into what it means to live fully - body, mind, and spirit - in the here and now.
