The majority of, if not all, major spiritual traditions recognize these as guiding or foundational tenets. In recovery we often hear the phrase “listen for the similarities not the differences”. In the emerging Interspirituality movement we share a belief that these qualities are foundational to emotional, mental and spiritual well-being and we embrace the similarities we find across the myriad traditions as well as those with which we may identify more closely in order to share and grow together. We further believe they are crucial aspects of a healthy and sustained recovery from our addictions.
