Step 4 - 20 Min Meditation 3 of 9

What if you could look at your past without feeling weighed down by guilt or shame? In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C. offers a refreshing perspective on Step 4, guiding you through a 20-minute meditation designed to help you see yourself more clearly. Forget the notion of listing sins; this is about understanding your patterns—both the good and the bad.

Buddy C., who has been sober since 2008 after years of relapses, uses his own journey to show how taking inventory can be a powerful tool for growth. Through a calming body scan and breathing exercises, he helps you relax and focus your mind. You'll learn to identify resentments, fears, and wrongdoings, uncovering the underlying behaviors that fuel them. This isn't just about finding faults; it's about recognizing the root causes and beginning to surrender them.

Buddy also shares his personal experience of how Step 4 helped him prepare for making amends in later steps. He emphasizes the importance of taking action when you're feeling stuck, whether that's helping others or journaling your thoughts and feelings. With Buddy's gentle guidance, you'll find that self-love and self-acceptance are within reach, making Step 4 a transformative part of your recovery journey.
