What I have found is that the rest of the steps helped me to do what I decide to do. In the third step, we'll talk about several thoughts about this step.
Ever feel overwhelmed by the idea of surrendering control in your recovery journey? Buddy C. knows that struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', he kicks off a series of ten-minute meditations focused on Step 3. Buddy emphasizes that Step 3 is about making a decision to turn your will and life over to a higher power, as you understand it.
It's a choice, not an immediate action, and the subsequent steps guide you in following through with this commitment. Drawing from his own experiences with repeated relapses and a near-death encounter with pancreatitis, Buddy offers a deeply personal and relatable perspective. He combines AA principles with Taoist philosophy, providing a unique, open-minded approach to recovery. Throughout the meditation, you'll be guided to focus on mindfulness, breath, and body awareness.
Buddy also encourages journaling your thoughts and seeking opportunities to help others, adding layers of depth to your recovery process. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools to support your journey.
