Recovery needs more spirituality
Counselor Magazine
Chris McDuffie writes: I believe cultivating spirituality is critical for those in recovery from addiction, and Buddhism and Twelve Step recovery programs are two powerful spiritual pathways to end suffering. I define spirituality as "nondualistic bonding in love" — whatever our spiritual practice may be, secular or otherwise, cultivating love is essential to our physical, mental and emotional health.
