Why Write This Step?
Meditation 4 of 9
Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our fourth 10-minute meditation in our Step 4 Series. We discuss the reasons it is essential that we write this step and how the written step is used to work some of the other steps. We will talk about this concept in this meditation and a different tool in each of the other Step 4 meditations.
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.
