Mindful Recovery is a peer support group that explores the relationship between mindfulness, Buddhist teachings, and the 12-step path to recovery from addictive behavior. Our weekly meetings focus on mindfulness meditation practice and developing insight into the habitual thoughts and patterns that drive our unskillful behaviors.
The format includes silent meditation, readings from Buddhist, mindfulness, and 12-step recovery literature, and discussion and sharing.
Our group is not affiliated with any Buddhist center or 12-step recovery program, and is not a substitute for 12-step meetings or dharma study. We honor the 12-step traditions of anonymity and confidentiality.

Eight Step Recovery - NO MEETINGS DURING AT LEAST MARCH
Day/time: Sundays (weekly) — Meeting Paused (normally 4:30 - 6:00pm)
Unity Center for Positive Living
Other info:
The Eight Step Recovery support group will cover the teachings of Vimalasara Valerie Mason-John and Dr. Paramabandhu Groves from their book “Eight Step Recovery - Using the Buddha's teachings to overcome addiction”.
We have a 3 minute meditation, a 15 minute meditation, and work through the book. All are welcome, not just those with a drug or alcohol related addiction.
Addiction is defined as any behavior, substance-related or not, that brings temporary pleasure or relief, a behavior one craves but is unable to stop despite negative consequences. We hope this group will be a support for you in your recovery and that it will lead you to a happier, more fulfilling way of life.

Buddhist 12 Step Recovery
Day/time: Mondays (weekly) — 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Sit Happens - Woodinville Unitarian Universalist Church
Other info:
Buddhist 12-Step Study Group is a Buddhist addiction recovery meeting. According to facilitator Rebecca Andrew, we welcome people of all beliefs and addiction recoveries. We start our meeting with a quick check-in. Each person shares what has been going on with them lately. This gives us a chance to get to know each other better. Next, we take turns reading aloud from the current book selection on Buddhism and recovery. Then, we do a 20 minute silent meditation. After meditating, we have an open discussion about the material we read. We close with a 5 minute meditation.
