Anyone have experience with Refuge Recovery or Recovery Dharma? I’m reading through both manuals and trying to get a feel for them from their websites. Any notable differences between them?

I have very little with both. I have both books. In early Recovery I was exposed to recovery Dharma and did the first noble truth. Was an amazing experience. I believe recovery dharma is a four step based program.
I recently went to a refuge recovery meeting and actually liked. I just need to find the time to squeeze it into my busy schedule. AA takes up most of my time…
Meditation is where it’s at as far finding oneness. Enjoy your journey!

I like refuge personally. I have found it very helpful in my days and recovery. I do the online meetings and you are always welcome.

They are everyday almost all the time. That is the other nice part. I like to start my day with one. Hope this helps

Refuge is the “newer” Buddhist based recovery tool. A recovery yoga instructor told me Refuge was started because the person who started Dharma Recovery was caught in some kind of scandal.
I thought Noah Levine is affiliated with Refuge.
Correct. He’s not the creeper.
But actually he is, right?? He founded Refuge and was accused of sexual abuse/assault. Am I getting this mixed up? It is exactly the reason I was hesitant to consider Refuge Recovery. But Refuge is much more prevalent than Dharma it seems…
Ah! I thought it was the other way around.
After reading through all of that, it seems charges were dismissed. I just have no idea what to really think about it. Sure doesn’t sound like a good thing. But he is only one person after all. I am not into authority figures and hierarchy anyway.
