Burning Branch Offers the Inner Refuge Recovery Meeting on Monday's from 8-9PM
WHAT IS the Inner REFUGE RECOVERY?
Refuge Recovery is a practice, a process, a set of tools, a treatment, and a path to healing addiction and the suffering caused by addiction. The main inspiration and guiding philosophy for the Refuge Recovery program are the teachings of Siddhartha (Sid) Gautama, a man who lived in India twenty-five hundred years ago. Sid was a radical psychologist and a spiritual revolutionary who later became known as the Buddha and his practice, Buddhism. The Refuge Recovery program has adapted the core teachings of the Buddha as a treatment of addiction.
The Inner Refuge Recovery Meeting fuses Refuge Recovery and Recovery Dharma.
WHAT IS RECOVERY DHARMA?
Recovery Dharma is a community of peers that encourages Buddhist-based recovery to people suffering from all kinds of addictions, Incorporating Buddhist practices of wisdom, compassion, community, and meditation to help you heal and recover from the suffering addiction has caused.
Unlike other recovery programs, Refuge Recovery and Recovery Dharma is open to anyone suffering from any type of addictive behaviors and are looking to recover regardless of spiritual/ religious beliefs, principles and backgrounds.

Social Media Abuse
WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION?
Social media addiction is the compulsive urge to access and engage with social media platforms at the expense of attending to other areas of your life. While adults are not immune to the urges of social media use, kids and teens are more susceptible because their neurological development is still progressing, particularly executive functioning and decision-making abilities. As a result, your child may find it more difficult to walk away from social media, even if they realize it isn’t good for them.
Teenagers who are addicted to social media often report:
Depression - Anxiety - Body dysmorphia -Eating disorders - Loneliness - The fear of missing out (FOMO) - Isolation - Low self-esteem - Jealousy - Worthlessness - Difficulty with personal relationships - Suicidal thoughts

Substance Abuse & Process Addictions
WHAT IS PROCESS / BEHAVIORAL ADDICTIONS?
Addiction can occur in many forms. Often, it is assumed that physical dependence characterized by withdrawal symptoms is required in order for someone to be diagnosed with an addiction disorder, but the fact is that behavioral addiction can occur with all the negative consequences in a person’s life minus the physical issues faced by people who compulsively engage in drug and alcohol abuse.
