Lots of points to respond to

There Is a small but robust Buddhist 12-step community in America today. Some of the groups follow the example and format created by Kevin Griffin "One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the 12 Steps" and the Buddhist Recovery Network. Some are modeled on Darren Littlejohns work. Some are modeled on the work Noah Levine, author of "Dharma Punx."

The point I want to emphasize is that many people in recovery who resonate with
Buddhism live in places where the Buddhist 12-Step vibe hasnt caught on. What AA offers is the critical component missing from American Buddhism; the "sangha" if you will, the social connection and group participation in relative proximity to Anywhere, USA. I would like to be able to investigate the affinities between the Dharma and the 12 Steps so that those on the Buddhist path of recovery can feel comfortable within AA orthodoxy. I still find it challenging at times to perform the inner translations myself, but that is a reflection of the depths of the Dharma and the Steps I have yet to fathom.

My assumptions from the get-go are -

The American Buddhist 12-step community is likely a much different community than the self-identified Buddhists of TaoBums. I dont believe the TTB Buddhists speak with a monolithic voice, but I often find them referenced in a general, and often perjorative, fashion. As far as I can tell, Buddhist psychology in the service of the Buddhist recovery movement is mostly limited to the 4 Noble Truths, the 8-Fold Path, the Three Poisons, and the 5 Precepts. This is purely secular; no metaphysics, no suspensions of reason. Beyond that is your own private path.

I am choosing Buddhism because it is part of my practice and for reasons I stated in my opening post; because Buddhism is trained on the human impulse for craving, desire, addiction, lust, etc., and that to open it up to an ecumenical investigation would dissolve the unique contribution Buddhism makes to the recovery movement.

I am only too happy to see a more ecumenical interpretation of the 12 Steps at some point in the future, though.
