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.
Imagine taking the well-known Serenity Prayer and giving it a fresh twist. That's exactly what Buddy C. does in this episode of 'Sober Meditations'. With over a decade of sobriety under his belt, Buddy knows firsthand the struggles and triumphs of alcohol recovery. His journey wasn't smooth—after nearly dying from pancreatitis, he relapsed multiple times before embracing his powerlessness over alcohol in 2008. Since then, he's been a beacon of hope for many in the recovery community.
In this episode, Buddy introduces a unique version of the Serenity Prayer that focuses on the concept of emptiness. He invites listeners to meditate on the phrase, "God, grant me the emptiness to accept the things I cannot change, the emptiness to change the things I can, and the emptiness to know the difference". This twist aims to help people open up to solutions and answers rather than trying to control everything.
Buddy kicks off the meditation by asking listeners to tune into their physical senses, particularly touch, and how their bodies interact with gravity. This grounding exercise sets the stage for deeper reflection. Throughout the session, he emphasizes letting go of control and surrendering to the present moment. He also encourages journaling after the meditation to capture any insights or epiphanies that arise.
One standout message from Buddy is his focus on helping others as a way to stay grounded in sobriety. When he's unsure of what to do next, he looks for someone to help or love, finding that this simple act brings clarity and peace. If you're seeking a contemplative meditation that blends emptiness, powerlessness, and surrender, this episode is a gem. Tune in to 'Sober Meditations' and see how Buddy's approach can support your journey to sobriety.
