Crafting Your Step 8 List: Buddy C's 20-Minute Meditation
Don't forget to make any notes in your meditation journal about your experiences during meditation, both good and bad.
Creating a list of those we've harmed is a crucial part of Step 8 in the recovery process. In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C invites you to join him for a 20-minute meditation focused on this very task. Buddy, who has been sober since 2008 after battling his own demons with alcohol, shares his insights on how to approach this step thoughtfully and compassionately.
He emphasizes the importance of starting with the people you love the most and gradually expanding your list outward. This isn't just about jotting down names; it's about preparing your heart and mind for the amends you'll make in Step 9. Throughout the meditation, Buddy encourages you to take notes and reflect on your feelings, as this can provide clarity in challenging moments.
Whether you're new to recovery or revisiting the steps, this episode offers a valuable tool for anyone looking to mend relationships and move forward with a lighter heart.
