About Recovery Dharma
Recovery Dharma is a peer-led addiction recovery community that uses Buddhist practices including meditation and mindfulness as the foundation for recovery. The organization offers free online and in-person meetings, a recovery book, and meditation resources. Unlike 12-step programs, Recovery Dharma takes a secular, non-theistic approach to recovery that appeals to people seeking an alternative framework.
