31 | 2025 Trifolds: ❖ 🗺️ STATE.rd.rocks → "Newcomer Trifold" w/ ALL YOUR STATE'S Meetings list. Because "Welcome newcomer, here's a trifold with all our mtgs on the back" takes 5 seconds & 100% they know when the next meeting is. Versus: "Welcome Newcomer, if it's ok, can i text u step-by-step how to find all our mtgs on recoverydharma.org?" (which takes 5+ min — yet there's no guarantee a suffering addict will figure out how to use the Global list-mode (which hides cities) & map-mode (which hides times/weekdays/addresses) to triangulate all the local meetings. not gonna lie, i literally maintained the RDG meeting list for years, I'm sober, and I still have trouble trying to find my meetings but maybe that's just me. ❖ ✨AFFINITY.rd.rocks → Glorious list of all 74 online "Affinity" meetings .

33 | Suggestion for Trifold Usage: Since stocking these trifolds, I'm positive these trifolds contributed to our sangha's growth & retention of newcomers. I was an unofficial Librarian for our local sanghas. I print 3+ copies of each trifold, I bring them to every meeting. The single most important is the Newcomer Trifolds (I stock 10+ of them at a time. STATETRIFOLD.rd.rocks). Why? 1) The RD.Rocks Newcomer Trifolds cover important things that everyone loves about RD, but these insights aren't directly written anywhere in the book or website. What's really nice as Librarian, I make a great effort to welcome *every newcomer* personally and they know they can talk to someone. Since I began stocking Newcomer Trifolds regularly, I've seen more newcomers come back. I don't know if it's the communication or the information, but somehow this free piece of paper is helping build and connect our Recovery Dharma sangha. It's beautiful. 2) They've been updated to include all your STATE's meetings. But they're also grouped by location. This helps cuz the Global list-mode HIDES the cities, and map-mode HIDES the addresses and weekdays and times. It is frustratiing having to take 5-10 minutes trying to look it up every time on the global list. It takes 5 seconds to hand newcomers a piece of paper with your local meetings at-a-glance. | ||||||||||||||||

68 | 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! What. The. F. is right! What the hell were they doing so vastly different than Americans? How is this even possible that Iranians in isolation were implementing recovery waaaay better than Americans, that they even had to have their own separate NA World Services Iran, separate from the ENTIRE WORLD? Well, the world did Research Studies, more 12-step Research Studies than anywhere else in the world, and we are blessed with all the results. Basically Iran was isolated enough to do a reboot and restart, without the american 12-step traditions (such as overly focusing, on cleantime as the sole metric of recovery.) Everything they did according to their research absolutely made 100% sense to me. So in my model of Inquiry Circle guidelines, schedules, and groups, I suggested what the research indicated. I've done more than 20 inquiry circles not because I love punishing myself but in hopes it would jumpstart a movement of recovery for Recovery Dharma that in the long run helps everyone here the exact same way it healed entire communities in Iran in very short time. And even if it doesn't work to that effect, I'm glad I got to be in community with everyone along the way. It's totally been worth it | |||||||||||||||

76 | 3realms.rd.rocks | 🪴 So, how do we "identify & commit to wise boundaries around our harmful behaviors?" Does recovery from your Process Addiction feel like a moving target? In Process Addictions, lapses can occur daily — unlike in Substance Addictions where the traditional metric of my success is continuous cleantime. The clash of these worlds impacted my 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. 🪴 3realms.rd.rocks | 📺 presented with BRN (Buddhist Recovery Network) Teaching Academy: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bOABFDnmeHI | |||||||||||||||

103 | recoverydharmarocks@gmail.com | rd.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. • if I needed meeting slides? slides.rd.rocks ⏎ (I type it, hit enter, and *SHAZAM* I got slides!) • if I needed the RD book? book.rd.rocks ⏎ • if I need the facebook group? facebook.rd.rocks ⏎ • if I wanted the audiobook? audiobook.rd.rocks ⏎ • if I wanted the meetings list? meetings.rd.rocks | affinity.rd.rocks | |||||||||||||||
