In 12 Steps on Buddha’s Path, the author describes her own journey of recovery from alcoholism through the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and Buddhist teachings on the Eightfold Path. By weaving together the teachings and practices of these two spiritual traditions, Laura S explores “sober karma,” a way of life that is joyous and free.

Laura S has written this book anonymously out of deep respect for the 12 Step Traditions. Under her own name, she is a well-known Buddhist teacher, a widely published author, and is active in the meditation and recovery communities.
