Dharma Recovery Meeting
2024-10-30 12:00 - 13:00 | CRA Offices and Community Center, 322 Bay St. Unit 3, Petoskey, MI, 49770, United States
Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.
We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together.

In our Recovery Dharma meetings, we practice meditation and explore the Four Noble Truths (There is suffering, There is a cause of suffering, There is an end to suffering, and There is a path that leads to the end of suffering.) and Eightfold Path (Wise Understanding, Wise Intention, Wise Speech, Wise Action, Wise Livelihood, Wise Effort, Wise Mindfulness, and Wise Concentration.) in a group discussion format.

Self Management and Recovery Training (SMART)

SMART Recovery is an evidenced-informed recovery method grounded in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), that supports people with substance dependencies or problem behaviors to:

1.Build and maintain motivation
2.Cope with urges and cravings
3.Manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors
4.Live a balanced life

SMART meetings encourage individuals to take responsibility for their own choices and behaviors and do not ask anyone to admit powerlessness nor rely on a higher power. Crosstalk and open conversation are encouraged, as we learn and grow from the support of our recovery community.
