This morning I went to another meditation focused Buddhist group called refuge recovery. Open till now I haven’t found myself motivated to go to a morning group, but I’m so very glad I went to this one and will be returning next week. Monday has turned into quite a big day for recovery. Meetings in the morning and evening and in between I have my weekly step work meeting with my sponsor.

I love the idea of recovery Monday ... Curious, was this group in person? It sounds awesome ... I should see if there is something similar in my area ...
Refuge has some good dharma talks online. I've been conflicted about refuge as there have been some sexual misconduct allegations against Noah Levine, the founder. I love the program tho, i found out about it and recovery dharma in rehab and they changed my life.

The way I look at it, is the program and practices are larger than the person who organized it all. He is only a tree in that particular forest. Though he may not be perfect, it’s undeniable what he has achieved in the development of sober subculture. I have plenty of demons in my past and skeletons in my closet.
No doubt. That is kinda how i approach it. I mean the Buddha told us that there is no such thing as enlightened harm, it all comes from suffering, unskillfulness, etc.
