    Ivy Insights

    The Refuge Recovery podcast has been a lifesaver for me during a difficult period of delusional thinking and desire. As someone who has been sober for two years, this podcast has not only delivered me from the trap of my struggles but has also reawakened my commitment to meditation and the 8-fold path. Being a mother of a young child, I don't have the luxury to attend many meetings, so being able to listen to these podcasts at home has truly been a saving grace for me. I especially appreciate the insights and teachings of Dave Smith, who I find to be an incredibly insightful practitioner and teacher. Overall, this podcast has provided me with solace and guidance in my recovery journey.

    One of the best aspects of The Refuge Recovery podcast is its high quality content. Whether it's discussions on Buddhist concepts or guided meditations, each episode is well-produced and thought-provoking. The guided meditations, in particular, are around 20-30 minutes long and provide a peaceful respite from daily stresses. What sets this podcast apart is its focus on not just general Buddhist practice but also its relevance to those working on a Refuge Recovery program. Many episodes are recordings from foundations of mindfulness retreats, which offer unique insights into the practice. Overall, the diversity of topics covered and the quality of content make this podcast highly recommended for anyone interested in Buddhism or recovery.

    Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks to The Refuge Recovery podcast. One downside is that it may not be as accessible for those who prefer more interactive forms of recovery support, such as attending meetings in person. While the podcast does offer valuable teachings and meditations, it lacks the personal connection that many individuals seek in recovery settings. Additionally, since it is primarily an audio-based platform, visual learners may miss out on certain aspects of Buddhist practice that are better conveyed through visuals or demonstrations.

    In conclusion, The Refuge Recovery podcast has been an invaluable resource for me as I navigate my recovery journey. It has helped me stay committed to meditation and the 8-fold path, even in challenging times. The high quality content, insightful teachings, and guided meditations make this podcast a must-listen for anyone interested in Buddhism or recovery. While it may not fully replace the benefits of attending meetings or engaging in face-to-face interactions, it serves as a fantastic supplement that can be accessed from the comfort of one's own home. Overall, I am grateful for this podcast and highly recommend it to others seeking support in their Buddhist practice or recovery journey.
