Synopsis
12 Steps on Buddha's Path is the extraordinary spiritual journey of a woman once trapped in the downward spiral of alcoholism. Misdiagnosed, Laura Keene was put in a mental hospital and given more than 40 electroshock treatments. Left incapable by the treatments of even speaking a coherent sentence, Keene was released against medical advice and ended up in the back row of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting where she embraced the 12 Step program and gradually recovered. Yet the black hole inside her remained, until, on a trek in the Himalayas, Keene discovered Buddhism and began a new path on the road to recovery. With humor and grace, this brilliant author shows that the experience, strength, and hope of Alcoholics Anonymous meld seamlessly with Buddha’s teachings of wisdom and compassion.

Best Book I've Read on Buddhism and the 12 Stepsby Anonymous

June 24, 2009: As a person in recovery who has come to Buddhism as my spiritual practice, I've read about a dozen books on the subject of Buddhism and the 12 Steps. This is by far the most useful of the books I've read. I love that Laura S. respects the 12th Tradition and has decided to publish this book anonymously. This book is a great marriage of Laura's story along with the most important aspects of both AA and Buddhism. Just wonderful! Get this book, you won't be disappointed.
