Recovery One Breath at a Time

Mindfulness Practices for Overcoming Addiction

By: Kevin Griffin

Guided Training in Mindfulness for Addiction Recovery

“One day at a time” is the mantra for addiction recovery—but what can we do to make it through each of those days? “Our cravings and addiction happen in a moment, in a breath,” says Kevin Griffin. “One day may be too long to think about, so we use mindfulness to cope with our cravings as they arise.” With Recovery One Breath at a Time, this innovative teacher presents two sessions of mindfulness training adapted to support anyone currently in a recovery program or coping with addiction. Created with a deep personal understanding of the specific challenges facing those in recovery, this audio offers:

• Beginner-friendly instruction for those who have never practiced meditation
• Guided meditations and on-the-spot practices for dealing with cravings as they arise
• Identifying and disarming the triggers that lead us back to addiction
• Buddhim’s three personality types and their unique strengths and vulnerabilities, and more

Through his own experience with alcoholism and his years as a Buddhist teacher, Kevin Griffin has learned there is no more powerful tool than mindfulness for helping us cope with the moment-to-moment challenges of recovery. “When we’re struggling with addiction,” Kevin says, “every clean breath is a victory.” Recovery One Breath at a Time brings us essential mindfulness tools that can make the difference between suffering and liberation on this difficult journey to wholeness.

Great, short, sweet, liberating.

Good listening for those who (like me) struggle with addiction and who find A.A. or N.A. intolerable... A must "listen to" for those like me.

Essential recovery literature.

While true we never "graduate" from 12 step recovery, there are decidedly grades of advancement. Griffin is wo doubt the teacher when the student is ready for the next level.
