Think the Drink Through!
Meditation 4 of 7
Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our fourth 2 minute emergency
meditation in our series discussing cravings. The topic is "Think
the Drink Through.” As an alcoholic, I know what it is like to have
cravings so overwhelming that I can think of nothing else. In this
series, we are going to talk about a specific tool in each
meditation that has helped me in recovery.
Remember, this meditation series comes in a 2 minute emergency
meditation, and a 5 minute, 10 minute, and 20 Minute more
traditional contemplative guided meditation, focusing on the
specific topic for that meditation series. The tools are the same,
with the longer meditations giving more time for reflection and
shared experience about each tool.
All of our recordings are organized by topic. Go to the menu on
the top left of your screen, then to categories.
The purpose of this meditation is to look through our thoughts to
clearly see the recovery that is at our fingertips instead of
focusing on our present circumstances that are causing the illusion
that a drink would be a good idea. I know from personal experience
that a drink is never a good idea. It is easy to lose sight of this
when I am overwhelmed. Hopefully, this meditation will help you
form a better perspective.
