To be human is to experience suffering.  To be in recovery, is to be aware of suffering and willing to let go of that which causes suffering.  Each of us has our own life experiences which have brought us to this point, and each of us must walk a distinct path.  Buddhism offers a framework to become more aware of the nature of suffering, and how to end suffering.  I hope you'll accept my invitation to try these tools yourself, and find ease in your own life.
