Written List!

Meditation 1 of 9

Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our first 10-minute meditation in our Step 8 Series. In Step 8, we make a list of those to whom we will receive our amends. This list is much more important than we may realize in the moment. We will talk about the written list in this meditation and a different tool in each of the other Step 8 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 guided meditations of 5, 10, and 20 minutes. The tools remain the same, with longer meditations providing more time for reflection and shared experiences about each tool.
