The face of addiction and alcoholism is a face that many have seen before—a celebrity, a colleague, or even a family member—and the damages from addictive behaviors ruin lives and rend families apart. Yet there is hope, even for those who haven’t found longterm success in traditional twelve-step programs. By approaching addiction at its source, author and recovering addict Darren Littlejohn brings about a deep healing in The 12-Step Buddhist, with a potent introduction by Robert Thurman. Working within the 12-step philosophy, The 12-Step Buddhist incorporates exercises, meditations, and inner dialogues that validate all aspects of the recovery process. Littlejohn’s approach makes Buddhism accessible for addicts, and the 12 steps understandable to anyone.
