The Heart of Zen Recovery
Transforming Any Addiction into Peace, Joy, and Liberation
What if your suffering was not your enemy, but your teacher?

This is not another book about willpower, shame, or trying harder. It is a gentle, practical path to freedom from any addiction-alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling, work, screens, or any behavior that has caused suffering.

Drawing on the timeless wisdom of the Buddha and the Zen tradition, The Heart of Zen Recovery meets you exactly where you are: exhausted, ashamed, wondering if there is any way out.

You do not need to be Buddhist. You do not need to be perfect. You only need to be willing to begin again.

Inside you will discover:

Why addiction is not a moral failure but a misguided search for peace

How to speak kindly to your suffering instead of running from it

The Four Noble Truths as a framework for understanding any addiction

The Eightfold Path as a practical guide for living free

Daily practices for working with cravings, healing shame, and forgiving yourself

Meditations on mindfulness, lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity

Guidance for building or joining a mindful recovery Sangha (community)

Guided meditations and daily gathas (mindfulness verses)

You are not broken. You have just been looking for peace in places it cannot be found.

The peace you seek is not in the next drink, the next high, the next purchase, the next escape. It is in this breath. This step. This moment.

This book shows you how to come home.
