Letting Go: Buddy C.'s 10-Minute Meditation for Alcohol Recovery
Alcohol for me was the training ground for surrendering and letting go of everything else in life that I needed to surrender.
Ever feel like you're wrestling with your own mind, trying to let go of the grip alcohol has on you? Buddy C. knows that struggle well. In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', he introduces the second 10-minute meditation in his 'Letting Go' series. This session zeroes in on the concept of surrender, a cornerstone in the journey to recovery.
Buddy shares a specific tool that has been a game-changer for him: learning to substitute alcohol with whatever you find hard to let go of. Buddy's story is both harrowing and inspiring. After nearly losing his life to pancreatitis and enduring five years of relapses, he finally embraced the powerlessness over alcohol in 2008. Since then, he's been on a mission to help others find peace and sobriety.
His open-minded approach includes elements from AA and Taoist principles, offering a unique blend of wisdom and practicality. In this meditation, Buddy guides you through the steps he took to let go of his fears, including financial insecurity. He explains how applying the 12 steps to various aspects of life can bring about profound change. By following these steps with the support of a higher power, Buddy found peace in his business and overcame his fear of financial ruin.
He encourages you to take notes during the meditation and discuss your thoughts with a sponsor or someone else in recovery. This episode isn't just about listening; it's about engaging with the process and finding your own path to surrender and peace. So, if you're grappling with letting go in your recovery journey, this 10-minute meditation could be just what you need. Tune in and let Buddy C. guide you towards a more serene and surrendered state of mind.
