Understanding Unmanageability: A 10-Minute Step 1 Meditation with Buddy C.

Alcohol was a symptom, that we had to get down to the causes and conditions, and that recovery's about my entire life. It's a life change, not just me stopping to drink.
Ever felt like your life was spinning out of control, not just because of drinking, but in every aspect? Buddy C. gets it. In this seventh 10-minute meditation from the Step 1 series, he dives into what it means to truly acknowledge the unmanageability and powerlessness over alcohol. Buddy, who has been on a rollercoaster journey of recovery since 2008, shares his wisdom and personal experiences to help you take that crucial first step towards sobriety.
You'll be guided to sit comfortably, close your eyes, and tune into your breath and bodily sensations. It's about developing mindfulness and accepting your physical and emotional states without judgment. Buddy encourages you to notice feelings of tension, anger, or sadness and embrace them as part of the recovery process. This isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about transforming your entire life.
Buddy candidly shares how he realized his drinking was a symptom of deeper issues like the need for control and fear of vulnerability. By reflecting on his own struggles, he inspires you to engage in self-examination and seek support from a sponsor or friend in recovery. The meditation wraps up with a reminder to jot down any insights and look for ways to help others, finding purpose and connection along the way.
This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone grappling with alcohol addiction, offering a message of hope and healing. Tune in and let Buddy C. lead you on a path to mindful recovery.
