"This is the book modern Dharma libraries have been waiting for! A wonderful and thorough presentation of the essence of what the Buddha taught and instructions for meditation practice spoken in the idiom of Twelve Steps and in the voice of a gifted narrator. The shared message of the possibility of freedom rings clearly from every page."

Sylvia Boorstein, author of
It's Easier Than You Think and
Attention, For Goodness' Sake
"In a wise and honest way, Kevin Griffin has written a book that is truly helpful to Buddhist practitioners and the Twelve Step community alike. I am grateful that he brings together these two traditions so skillfully."
--
Jack Kornfield, author of
A Path with Heart and
After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
"A Buddhist goes through the Twelve Steps to find God within. A book of compassion and grace."
--
Ondrea and Stephen Levine authors of
One Year to Live
"This is a brave book, heart-warming and clear. It is a groundbreaking coming together of the 12 step program with the Buddhist teaching in a way that is practical, personal and liberating."

Sharon Salzberg, Author Of
Lovingkindness and
Faith
"Kevin's writing is a pleasure to read; his refreshing and insightful integration of the Twelve Step and Buddhist teachings will undoubtedly bring about immeasurable goodness."

Noah Levine, Buddhist meditation teacher, recovering addict, and author of
Dharma Punx
"'One Breath at a Time' is a brilliant merging of Buddhist insights with
those of the Twelve step program, shining a fresh new light on both of these
paths of liberation. Griffin weaves the essential teachings of the two
psycho-spiritual traditions together with his own story to create a
compelling mixture of humor, pathos and wisdom. This fine book will be of
great benefit to all who are recovering from something, and who isn't?"
