Recovery Dharma
2026-03-11 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-16 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
Recovery Dharma is a Buddhist-inspired path to recovery and a community that uses the practices and principles of meditation, mindfulness, compassion, forgiveness, kindness and generosity to heal the suffering addiction has caused us as well as our loved ones. We feel confident in the power of the Buddha’s teachings, if applied, to relieve the suffering of addiction in anyone’s life.

Marijuana Anonymous
2026-03-13 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | The Moore Institute, 4126 Autumn Ln, Birmingham, AL, 35243, United States
Marijuana Anonymous (MA) is a 12-Step program designed to help people who are living with marijuana addiction receive the support necessary to get and stay sober.1 This voluntary program is typically part of additional addiction treatment or as a part of a recovery program. MA meetings can take place in person, virtually, and over the phone. Understanding what marijuana anonymous is and how recovery support groups can fit into your treatment and aftercare plan can be helpful in achieving and maintaining recovery.
What is Marijuana Anonymous?
MA is a support group for people who are living with marijuana misuse and addiction, providing information, tools, and community encouragement that can support a sober lifestyle. Like all 12-Step programs, MA is free and can be used either on its own or as a part of a comprehensive recovery program. MA can be participated in both during a treatment program, when one is working to achieve recovery, and during an aftercare program, when one is working to maintain recovery.

10:30 Saturday Recovery Dharma Meeting
2026-03-14 10:30 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | The Moore Institute, 4126 Autumn Ln, Birmingham, AL, 35243, United States
Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.
We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together. We believe that recovery is rooted in finding our own inner wisdom and individual journeys.
Recovery Dharma is founded on, and inspired by, Buddhism that originated in India and later on flourished in other regions of Asia (e.g., South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia). We deeply appreciate the Buddhist heritage that was protected and freely offered by the ancestors of these cultures.
