The Joy Beyond Craving: A Buddhist Perspective on Addiction and Recovery
A thoughtful, non-sectarian combination of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path and AA s Twelve Steps which shows us how to let go of the self-centered cravings that drive us to struggle to get, get, get, whether it s alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or gambling.  Our addictive cravings do create the suffering we experience,  and here we have a practical reminder of how to cheerfully and lovingly abandon the false images that fuel those addictive behaviors. --Nancy Patton, MANDALA: A TIBETAN BUDDHIST JOURNAL, August/September 2004
