It really is about making life about something more than yourself.
Why does Step 2 of the Alcoholics Anonymous program emphasize 'a Power greater than ourselves'? Buddy C. dives into this question in the sixth five-minute meditation of his Step 2 series. Buddy, who has been sober since 2008 after numerous relapses and a near-fatal encounter with pancreatitis, knows firsthand the struggle of letting go and surrendering to a higher power.
In this episode, he explores why the wording is 'ourselves' instead of 'myself', shedding light on the collective strength that comes from community support in recovery. Buddy's personal journey to sobriety wasn't a straight path. He relapsed multiple times even after a life-threatening experience. However, his story is one of resilience and finding strength in numbers. He shares how seeing a higher power in others helped him shift his focus from 'me' to 'we'.
This shift, he explains, is crucial for long-term recovery. The episode wraps up with a practical meditation technique. Buddy encourages listeners to let their minds wander freely during the meditation, jotting down any epiphanies or thoughts that come up. He also suggests looking around for someone to help or love when you're unsure of the next right thing to do.
This episode is not just informative but also deeply encouraging, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety. Join Buddy C. on this reflective journey and discover how embracing the collective 'we' can transform your recovery process.
