Break The Vicious Cycle Of Addiction
10 Day Online Course
Mindfulness Based Addiction Recovery
Mindfulness Based Addiction Recovery (MBAR) is a secular approach to working with addiction and obsessive thinking. It is an 8 week course where participants learn practical skills to add to their tool kit for recovery. They learn how to become aware of the subtle triggers, and facilitative thoughts that often lead to relapse. They also become aware of how blame, self pity and distraction can be habitual behaviours of turning away from unpleasant, pleasant and neutral experiences, which in turn sabotage their recovery. Participants learn how to cultivate recovery by breaking their vicious cycles of addiction. In MBAR participants learn to simply breathe again.

Eight Step Recovery is a Buddhist approach for working with addiction and obsessive thinking. These eight steps can be used by people who have not responded to the twelve-step approach, as well as by those who are in twelve-step recovery. They are steps that can free us from the prison of our minds, while also a practical guide of how to break the vicious cycle of addiction and habitual behaviours.
