FYI: Thursday Night Tempe Meeting Starting New Book

At last Thursday's monthly business meeting, the attendees unanimously decided to begin a new book for the reading portion of the meeting. To avoid confusion, let me just add that we are not leaving the book Refuge Recovery behind for good - just taking a break from it for a bit. Once we have finished the pre-personal story half of Refuge Recovery, we will begin Eight Step Recovery: Using the Buddha's Teachings to Overcome Addiction by Valerie Mason-John and Dr. Paramabandhu Groves with forewords by Gabor Maté and Jon Kabat-Zinn.  Eight copies have been ordered for sharing during the meeting. Printed and digital copies are available for purchase at both Barnes & Noble and Amazon, but please note that the print book is slightly cheaper at Barnes & Noble with an expected delivery time of about a week, whereas Amazon also has a [more affordable] Kindle edition but the print book has a significant  shipping delay.
