Refuge Recovery — Buddhist Inventory
A Buddhist-informed recovery inventory for clients who don't want a Higher-Power framework
A Buddhist-informed inventory for clients who don't want a Higher Power framework. Maps the four truths onto addiction: suffering, cause, cessation, path.
Truth 1 — the suffering my addiction has caused (me, others)
Truth 2 — the craving underneath (what am I chasing / avoiding)
Truth 3 — moments I've experienced relief without using
Truth 4 — one path practice I'll commit to this week (meditation, ethics, wisdom)
Recovery without a god
The mechanism — noticing craving, choosing not to feed it — is the same regardless of framework. Pick the one your nervous system can trust.
