Embracing Surrender: Buddy C's Step 10 Meditation on Letting Go

The fight should be over, because I've realized at this point that the fight is not mine. The fight's my higher power. And for me, the steps were to show me how to move out of the way, so my higher power could do the work.
Ever feel like you're constantly battling against the tide? Buddy C. understands this struggle all too well. In this seventh episode of the Step 10 series from 'Sober Meditations', he dives into the concept of 'stopping the fight' and embracing surrender as a cornerstone of recovery. Having faced his own battles with alcohol and relapse, Buddy brings a compassionate and open-minded approach to this meditation, offering listeners a chance to pause and reflect on their journey.
Buddy begins by guiding you through a calming body scan, encouraging you to tune into the sensations and feelings within. This practice isn't just about relaxation; it's about appreciating your body and the incredible work it does for you every day. As you progress through the meditation, Buddy shares a poignant quote from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, highlighting that love and tolerance are key to ceasing the fight against alcohol and others.
By the time you reach Step 10, Buddy explains, you should be ready to surrender to a higher power. This isn't about giving up; it's about finding peace and letting go of the constant struggle. He offers practical tools for this process, such as serving others and shifting your focus away from yourself. Maintaining your spiritual condition and carrying the vision of your higher power's will into all activities are also emphasized.
This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that surrendering can be a gift, not a defeat. Buddy's soothing voice and insightful guidance make this meditation an invaluable resource for anyone looking to deepen their recovery practice and find a sense of calm amidst the chaos.
