NPR’s Speaking of Faith has dedicated an episode to the spirituality of recovery. Susan Cheever talks about the spirituality of AA, her recovery, and her father’s recovery.
The episode also devotes significant time to Buddhism and the 12 steps. They link to the Buddhist Recovery Network. Interestingly, Alan Marlatt is on their board.
Nothing scientific here, good for anyone who thinks AA is a Christian program.
It’s worth a listen.
