> I'm reading a really good book called "One Breath at a Time - Buddhism and the Twelve Steps" by Kevin Griffin. It encorporates Buddhism (Theravada/Vipassana) and the 12 Steps in a way that is really comfortable. Reading it is very soothing for someone who has struggled to deal with AA and how it relates to my spirituality. If you have an interest in Buddhism and any addiction problem, you might want to take a looky at this booky.

I'm going to look into the book. But this subject has always interested me. I've read about some meditation masters who were boozers (Trunga Rinpoche among others) and their students did not always know how to handle it.
