What Is an Amend?

Meditation 5 of 9

Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our fifth 5-minute meditation in our Step 8 Series. In this meditation, we discuss what an amend is and what it is not. We will discuss this topic and a different topic in each Step 8 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 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.
