Show Notes

In this talk from 2011, I tell some of my drunkalogue, then start to talk about powerlessness and Step 1. Topics include, karma, triggers, craving, the Four Noble Truths, Mindfulness, and the Middle Way. Connecting Buddhism and the Twelve Steps. Many of the ideas in these classes can be found in my books, especially Budddhism & the Twelve Steps Workbook, and Higher Power: Buddhism & the Twelve Steps.
