I’ve only recently discovered that a lot of comments that come in are sent straight to spam. I wasn’t aware that this was happening so if you have posted a comment and it has not appeared please send it again.

I’d like to engage in discussion with other Buddhists who also happen to be alcoholics. I’m not setting myself up as an expert and I would encourage people to share their experience strength and hope with each other in a free and non academic environment. I don’t mind people using scriptural sources to support their experience, but I’m not particularly interested if scriptural sources are merely used to support speculative opinions or views. That doesn’t mean you can’t say whatever you like. I’m just expressing a personal preference for experience rather simply logical abstract argument with no experiential basis.

Perhaps this could be our first topic of discussion. Let me know what you think.
