Embracing Powerlessness: Buddy C's 20-Minute Step 1 Meditation
If everything else in life was working fine, the fact I could not control my drinking was enough.
Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of addiction? Buddy C. offers a beacon of calm in this 20-minute meditation, the seventh in his Step 1 series. Buddy knows firsthand how tough it is to admit powerlessness over alcohol. He shares his own struggles and how he finally found peace through surrender in 2008. This episode is all about recognizing the unmanageability in your life and embracing the concept of a Higher Power, even if it's a new idea for you.
Throughout the meditation, Buddy encourages you to focus on your breath and stay present, guiding you gently back whenever your mind starts to wander. He also suggests keeping a meditation journal to jot down thoughts and feelings that come up, which can be incredibly helpful to discuss with a sponsor or a friend in recovery. If you're looking for practical tools and a bit of inspiration on your journey to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
