Embracing Emptiness: Buddy C.'s Unique Take on the Serenity Prayer
Emptiness in recovery plays such a huge role more times than not. My response needs to be emptiness. Not that I have the solution or the answer, but that I am open to the solution or the answer.
What if embracing emptiness could be the key to your recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C. offers a fresh perspective on the Serenity Prayer, swapping out 'serenity' for 'emptiness'. This twist opens up a new way to understand powerlessness and acceptance in the journey to sobriety. Buddy C., who has been sober since 2008 after a harrowing struggle with relapse and pancreatitis, shares his personal experiences and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
He guides listeners through a meditation that encourages awareness through the senses and gratitude for the small sounds around us. Buddy also emphasizes the importance of maintaining an open mind and heart, loving others, and keeping a meditation journal to track your progress and insights. This episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes, the answers we seek come when we allow ourselves to be empty enough to receive them.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, Buddy's unique approach offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you find peace and clarity.
