whyinquire.rd.rocks[inquiry] These are the 6 science-backed reasons to work in Inquiry Circle groups (a 15 minute youtube.) The science is fascinating to me.

This is why I was adamant about Inquiry Circles when RD was founded in 2019, especially because nobody had done the inquiries yet then (not even the RD founders!) RD members who were new to recovery didn't understand that they weren't gonna "recover" until they did the hard, deep self-inquiry work. To me, meetings do help but metaphorically, they're just a bandaid whereas Inquiry & Investigation is identify the cause of bleeding and finally stop the bleeding altogether so we don't need bandaids anymore. Otherwise we just bleed again when the unknown conditions arise. In 12-Step, they actually do the process of 2500-year-old Buddhist inquiry & investigation but they just call it "Stepwork."

Relatively few people know about this but I believe it's important and relevant to RD: Iran's Narcotics Anonymous started in 1990, and by 2005, 1 in 3 meetings every day was happening in Iran! I mean what were they doing so different than here in America that Iranians in isolation were implementing recovery waaaay better such that they had to start their own separate NA World Services Iran, from the rest of the world? Well, the world did research studies, one article from a famed William White claimed there were more 12-step Research Studies on Iran than any other country in the world because everyone was just as in awe. And now we're blessed with all the results.

Basically Iran was isolated enough to do a reboot and restart, without the american 12-step traditions (such as the focus on continuous perfectly unbroken cleantime as the sole barometer). Rather than basing the program on Daycounts, they based it around *FINISHING* their Stepwork. They met at least twice a week in large close-knit inquiry communities/sanghas with a Mentorship *dedicated* to working on their self-inquiry as a healing circle. They followed the science and embraced MAT early (meanwhile today in many American N.A groups MAT is still a contested topic.) All the findings absolutely resonate with my different experiences of working the 12-steps in different ways in different programs.

People talked about Dharma Buddies or "forming groups to work on inquiries" but what would they look like? Meanwhile I was given a working template of "Inquiry & Investigation" groups could like, I just had to put in the work to show that it could possibly work. So in my model of "Inquiry Circle" guidelines, schedules, and groups, I followed what I interpreted has been wildly successful for recovery. In about 3 years I ended up doing 20+ inquiry circles in hopes it would jumpstart a movement of recovery for Recovery Dharma, that in 20 years we might find that such studies will be conducted on the success of our members' recoveries.

The Practice. ① Renunciation. For process addictions, we identify and commit to wise boundaries around our harmful behaviors.
84
85
3realms.rd.rocks"But how do we identify the wise boundaries? With my process addiction, it feels almost like the target's constantly moving and I can't pin it down." Tell me, can you can relate to either of those?

In Process Addictions, lapses can occur daily — unlike in Substance Addictions where the traditional metric of success is seemingly perfect daily continuous cleantime. The clash of these worlds has caused difficulties in my cross-disciplinary (Substance & Process simultaneous) recovery. Daycounting (often expected in other programs) made me feel like a failure after each process addiction lapse, despite legitimate progress. I needed a perspective that celebrated my growth rather than resetting to day zero. When asked, “How many days do you have?” I now respond, “How do you renounce technology, people, food, love?” For process addictions, it’s about reducing harmful behavior, not daycounts.

Here's a thought: I’ve gone from 365 lapses/year down to 12 lapses/year. Despite Mara's harsh story keeping me in a monthly shame-loop about my 12 annual failures, my Buddha Nature perceives the exact same events as ~350 successes per year. (!) In reality, my proverbial cup isn't just half-full — with wise mindfulness my cup in life is indeed overflowing, with undeniable & authentic progress.

In Buddhist Recovery we acknowledge holistic healing, and we understanding that though well intended, 1950s traditions of solely daycounting utterly fails to tell the whole story (but especially when recovery with Process Addictions ain't a straight line). We need a 2020s approach that incorporates a self-loving, healthy, joyous take on recovery. Not just saying to myself, "Gotta stop using [porn], Gotta stop using porn. Gotta stop usi..." When I would much rather say to myself, "I want True Intimacy. I deserve a life of True Intimacy. I will practice and attain a life of True intimacy. AND here's an awesome list of ways to make progress towards True Intimacy." It's hard to share about "I gotta stop using porn," yet so beautiful to hear someone say, "I am doing the hard work to have True Intimacy." That’s why I developed the Three Realms — a simple, effective approach with a powerful framework that incorporates motivational interviewing, harm reduction model, and well, looking on the bright side.

Ultimately, The 3 Realms is a direct path to finally "Identify and set wise boundaries around our harmful [process addictions]."

So if you’re ready to explore new boundaries in your recovery, give it a try. Your recovery is worth it.

recoverydharmarocks@gmail.comrd.rocks started as my personal spreadsheet—I needed to organize everything I learned about Recovery Dharma & Buddhism. I wanted to keep track of Buddhist lists, favorite meetings, links to meditation scripts, etc. Then I showed admirable friends, who basically said, "dude, this rocks. can I reshare it?" So I made it public.

rd.rocks is a trip. it's simply made of a bunch of bookmarks. this page itself (even though it says RD.rocks at the top) is just a bookmark of a Google Sheet. It works by simply typing in whatever you want, like "book" followed by ".rd.rocks" and it takes you to a corresponding bookmark.
