What I had to learn was that the payoffs for keeping a defect of character never compared with the peace and joy that I could have by having that defect removed.
Ever wonder if there's more to recovery than just staying sober? Buddy C. takes you on a journey in this episode of 'Sober Meditations', where he dives into the fifth 5-minute meditation in the Step 6 series. Here, Buddy explores the idea that simply achieving sobriety might be selling yourself short. He believes there's a richer, more fulfilling life waiting if you're willing to dig deeper.
Drawing from his own experience of repeated relapses and a near-death encounter with pancreatitis, Buddy shares how he finally embraced the concept of being powerless over alcohol in 2008 and has stayed sober since. In this brief yet impactful meditation, he discusses the importance of being entirely ready to let go of character defects. Buddy challenges listeners to not just aim for minimal perfection but to allow a higher power to remove these flaws completely.
He acknowledges that many of us cling to our defects, thinking they serve us in some way. However, he reveals that the peace and joy found in letting go far outweigh any temporary benefits these defects might offer. Buddy also offers practical advice: when in doubt, look for someone to help. By making room to support others, you'll often find that your own path becomes clearer.
It's a philosophy that worked for him and one he believes can work for anyone on their sobriety journey. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for those seeking more than just sobriety. Buddy's candid reflections and actionable tips make it a must-listen for anyone ready to embrace a fuller, more joyful life.
