Many people when they first come into recovery are unaware that there are many differing theories on the nature of addiction and understanding these differing views and perspectives can enhance understanding of your own personal experience of your addiction disorder.
In this next session we explore some of the different models of addiction giving the participant different perspectives on their condition and a deeper understanding of what treatment options are possible so they may decide on what path to choose.
I personally found the Biopsychosocial model with its holistic approach more relatable to my own lived experience as its holistic approach resonates with the Sun Lotus Model which I use in my own recovery.
I still “cherry pick” from the differing models to help with my own understanding of my experience of my addiction disorder, using the various concepts unique to that model to enhance my own understanding.
This session is designed like the others to bring about increased self awareness by understanding the different ways of looking at addiction and using what resonates with the individuals life to build a picture of what an addiction disorder means to them.
We also introduce another fundamental tenet of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism that of The Great Mandala or Dai Gohonzon, a copy of this True Object of Worship (Gohonzon) is enshrined in the practitioners home when they decide to practice seriously and to become a member of the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist community of believers (Hokke Ko) which enables them to practice correctly and to maximise the benefits of their Buddhist Practice in their daily lives.
