Student of Buddhism, developing a practice was part of my sobriety plan that I haven't done yet. I need to get on that, possibly with Refuge. I did my own version of AVRT as well. Freedom from desire is huge to me, also the Zen Buddhist precepts that include no consciousness altering drugs of any kind.

Detachment and the Middle Way.

When I was in inpatient rehab I read Kevin Griffin's Buddhist based 12 steps instead of the Big Book. It made more sense to me, even though I eventually abandoned the 12 Step recovery model as unnecessary for me.
