Before addiction, such refuges provide temporary feelings of comfort and safety. But at some point we crossed the line into addiction. And the substances or behaviors that were once a refuge inevitably became a dark and lonely repetitive cycle of searching for comfort as we wandered through an empty life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Preface

Noble Silent Retreat
Oregon, 2024

Recovery is also the ability to inhabit the conditions of the present reality, whether pleasant or unpleasant.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Preface

Ch 13 The Path to Heartfulness pg 91​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We welcome you to the Refuge Recovery way. If you follow this path, you will free yourself from all the unnecessary suffering of addiction, and you will inspire others to do the same. The practices in this book are not a quick fix; they are a map to a hidden treasure. You will have to do all the digging yourself, hopefully with the support of teachers and community, but it is ultimately up to you to do the heavy lifting, or letting go as it may be. Your life will transform, as ours have, and together we will create a positive change in this world.
