"We" Not "Me"!
Meditation 1 of 9
Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our first 20-minute meditation in our Step 1 Series. The first word of step 1 is "We" for a reason. When I came to AA, I had no idea how much of my recovery was dependent on my relationships with others. We will discuss a different tool in each Step 1 meditation.
The purpose of this meditation is to look through our thoughts to clearly see the recovery that is at our fingertips, rather than focusing on our present circumstances that create 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.
Remember, this meditation series offers 5-minute, 10-minute, and 20-minute guided meditations. The tools remain the same, with longer meditations providing more time for reflection and shared experiences about each tool.
