❖ whyinquire.rd.rocks[Youtube • 15 Min] This video outlines the evidence-based reasons for the framework for how RD Inquiry Circles was formulated. There’s an annotated research paper and a fascinating success story about a rebooted NA (Narcotics Anonymous) program in the Middle East — so successful that by 2005, 1/3 meetings of NA were in the Middle East, worldwide!
59
ⓐ[Here's a Text Summary]:

"So, what's this fascinating story relevant to RD's beginnings?" ....or "I'm a geek for research, spill the dharma tea, pls"

When RD was founded in 2019, nobody had done the inquiries yet — not even the RD founders! Naturally, newcomers thought just attending meetings was the recovery. Yet in longterm recovery, we start to see that attending meetings are more like a band-aid, metaphorically. Rather it's Self-Inquiry & Investigation where we can identify and end the causes of bleeding. Otherwise the bleeding re-arises when the unidentified causes inevitably re-arise. I appreciate that in 12-Step recovery, the main process of recovery (the Stepwork) is essentially 2500-year-old Buddhist inquiry & investigation. They could just as accurately call it the 12-Investigations Model. Alcoholics Anonymous hit that part of recovery spot-on.

Now the interesting part... In Iran, alcohol is forbidden but for centuries, their people have grappled with an opiate endemic. Then after starting Narcotics Anonymous in 1990, by the early 2000s, suddenly 1 out of 3 NA meetings worldwide were happening in Iran. 🤯! This was unprecedented. The world was hearing reports like, "The NA Sponsor in Iran is being regarded as the new spiritual community leader. It seems every family is feeling the impact." Iranians held large community-wide inventory-completion celebrations. Ex-drug addicts were being restored to their communities and families. NA conventions were being held in stadiums in the tens of thousands. Really beautiful recovery stories. Today, no recovery program has grown as fast nor as successfully as NA in Iran.

The recovery world wondered, • "How are they doing this?" • "What are they doing differently than the American founding 12-step programs?"

Lucky for us, (1) they are geopolitically isolated from our recovery traditions for better or worse, (2) research grants have been funded to study their recovery success, (3) enough time has passed that supposedly there have been more 12-step research studies in Iran than anywhere else in the world, and (4) we have good data on what makes their recovery miraculously strong. Let's just have a look at some key differences I've distilled from a 2019 evidence-based study:
60
ⓑ(1) First, Daycounting is not front and center. (For the most part, in American 12-Step culture, Daycount acts as a universal badge ID number—that is, daycounts since relapse is the measure of one's recovery. When meeting someone, a common question in is, "How much cleantime/sobertime you got?" Daycount of course does have good inherent value. And though it is very well-intended, in practice, it often plays out as: • unintended hierarchies based on time-not-healing • daily abstinence perfection over ongoing progress • shame & isolation after lapses • exclusion of harm-reduction/non-linear paths. Meanwhile, since Iran takes the focus (and pressure) off of daycounting traditions, it plays out as: • encourages recovery growth • instills values of progress over perfection (of perfect daily abstinence) • encourages honesty & collective learning from lapses • includes harm-reduction and embraces non-linear paths.

(2) Rather, their true recovery focus is to *complete* Self-Inventory Work and celebrate those completions. (Iranian NA culture is based on doing the inner inquiry healing work required. Plus, they celebrate upon completing one go-around of all topics of self-investigation.)

(3) Weekly Self-Inventory Circles. (They met EVERY week for dedicated inquiry work meetings. Yep, that's on top of regular meetings!)

(4) Mentorship Groups means Scalable Growth (many-to-many, not mentor-to-mentee 1:1) for a new Recovery Program. (This 4th one, mentorship groups, is an engine for the Recovery Dharma program to grow and scale exponentially. The American recovery model of writing and sharing inquiries is most often 1-on-1 (Sponsor-to-sponsee). That's a showstopper for RD 2019 (mirroring Iran's NA 1990) — having just formed, there were no mentors and fewer who completed inquiries. The general understanding is that only a mentor who has gone fully through the inquiries can help a mentor go through their inquiries. No chickens can lay eggs, no eggs can mature to become chickens — it's deadlock for mentorship & inquirywork. So Recovery Dharma absolutely had to find & proceed with a different model of mentorship framework. For Iranian NA, they did inventories within large Mentorship groups, that's right — Sanghas. So instead of a slow trickling bottleneck, they had sangha-wide inventory workgroups flowing. They met in groups of N=19 average (wow.) Even if we meet in inquiry circles/workgroups of N=4, that has a large exponential blossoming advantage over 1-on-1 mentorships. Or worse, zero mentorships happening, N=0, no one doing the self-inquiry work that is attributed as the main focus of Iran's recovery success. The take-away is that with collective wisdom, there exist viable ways to have co-mentorships as admirable friends to one another, an inquiry circle of equals, like at a round table.
61
ⓒThose are my highlights. With all of this written in the research now, what I see is an engine for self-multiplicative healing and potentially exponential growth — if all avg 4 inquiry circle members go on to help some 4 more. RD members heal. RD itself grows. Repeat. Iran & Narcotics Anonymous seems an unlikely comparison to Western Recovery Dharma. But there's a lot of common ground, of going against the grain of traditional recovery, of being a very new recovery program lacking mentors. The Iranian NA model shows us compelling evidence of what happens when self-inquiry isn’t an optional side project, but the heart of recovery. When recovery isn't restricted to one-to-one relationships, but opened up to many-to-many for closer, collective healing. When after a lapse, honesty is easier, not harder. We don't have to start from scratch—we just have to be informed and let others know about what has already worked.

The book talked about "forming groups to work on inquiries." But they left it up to us to blindly experiment. I think what the research points to is slightly better than what the RD book offered, which I interpreted as: "Folx, just try everything." From 2020 through 2022, I put in the wise effort to try forming groups to work on inquiries. I thought there was a good chance that emulating Iran NA's success of weekly self-investigating co-mentorship circles would net some beneficial recovery results. In my model of Inquiry Circle guidelines, schedules, and groups, I followed what I interpreted has been wildly successful for Iranian NA recovery. Once that was set, I of course listened to everyone and tried to adapt to feedback and everyone's needs: burn-out, grounding exercises for less trauma-activation, inquiries written for substance addictions — without inclusion or testing by those working on process addictions, flexibilities, potential schedule difficulties, less shameful questions, alternate questions for people with certain habits or working on certain addictions. In maybe 3 years I ended up doing 20+ inquiry circles in hopes it would jumpstart a momentum of strong grassroots recovery for Recovery Dharma, that's like doing the Stepwork 20 times. My hope was in 20 years we might find many studies conducted on the success of "RD's phenomenon of success," similar to Iran's, in large part due to the emphasis on weekly-inquiry circles.

👉The 3 Circles Worksheet: A Revolutionary Approach to Process Addiction Recovery

We can't quit food. We can't quit technology. We can't quit people. Unlike Substance Addictions, Process Addictions have no clear line between using and not using. Recovery from Process Addictions requires a new approach.

The 3 Circles is that revolutionary paradigm. It helps us draw clear, wise boundary lines between: • unhealthy behaviors • risky behaviors • healthy behaviors. All on a piece of paper. We do this by creating 3 simple lists. (Yea, it's really just 3 lists.)

📝How to Create Our 3 Lists

🔴 Inner Circle: Renunciation list
Write down the renunciation behaviors we're committed to stopping. These are the patterns that brought you to Recovery Dharma, and they define your sobriety. "Lapsing"/"Acting out" means entering this circle.

🟡 Middle Circle: Risky list
Write down the risky behaviors, thoughts, feelings, people, places, and situations that have led to lapsing in the past. Use this list as mindfulness bells or well-lit warning signs. When you find yourself here, you still have the power to turn around.

🟢 Outer Circle: Healthy list
Write down the healthy behaviors, activities, and relationships that nourish your recovery: everything you're moving toward, not just away from. These may include self-care, meditating, creative hobbies, going for a walk, or spending time with wise friends. This is an infinite list.

The 3 Circles will level up your recovery from Process Addictions, and you'll finally identify and commit to wise boundaries around your harmful behaviors.
