There are Buddhist specific recovery groups and programs. For example: https://recoverydharma.org/

Are there Catholic specific recovery programs and/or groups that people who are in recovery utilize and find helpful?

May you have happiness
and be the causes of happiness;
May you be free from sorrow
and the causes of sorrow;
May you never be separated
from the sacred happiness
which is sorrowless;
And may you live in equanimity,
without too much attachment
and too much aversion,
And live believing in the equality
of all that lives.

"Trauma is often described as the psychological damage that occurs after living through an extremely frightening or distressing event or situation. It’s caused by an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds our ability to cope, and may make it hard to function even long after the event." - #RecoveryDharma

This winter season and now going into spring has been unbelievably difficult. I have to dissociate to make it through the day. It feels like moving on with the day-to-day is as mad as all the crises that are piling up.

Self-Guided Roadmap to Understanding and Addressing Pre-Addiction and Addiction
https://nm5actions.com/

"Most people who struggle with addiction suffer from multiple addictions. It’s why intervening on one addiction while leaving others unaddressed, results in poor outcomes and high relapse rates. Learn how to intervene on all addictions as a package of behavior, and address the underlying drivers that keep you stuck."

"Dependent co-arising contains twelve steps, with craving as the eighth step.

" . . . mindfulness of breathing brings knowledge to all three types of fabrication. In that way, it turns them from causes of craving and suffering into factors of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. #ThanissaroBhikkhu

General social collapse is really wearing on me. The railway derailment and resulting #environmental #catastrophe due to deregulation and corporate greed is the latest on a long and growing list. US congress and #Biden cut off #union #strikes that were calling for more safety late last year. Now we have more #contaminated #air, contaminated #water, and dead #animals. What else? How long will this be #killing the people, land, and animals in that #watershed?

May you be peaceful and at ease,
May you be happy and free from suffering.

" . . . even though the Buddha didn’t talk specifically about addiction, he understood the obsessive nature of the human mind. He understood our attachment to pleasure and aversion to pain. He understood the extreme lengths we can sometimes go to, chasing what we want to feel and running away from the feelings we fear." - Recovery Dharma www.recoverydharma.org
