Step 4 - 20 Min Meditation 9 of 9

Taoist Version of Step 4! Meditation 9 of 9 Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our last 20 minute meditation in our Step 4 Series. Taoism is an excellent example of the benefits of turning our will and life over to the care of a power much greater than ourselves. We will talk about this concept in this meditation and a different tool in each of the other Step 4 meditations. More about Buddy C. Even after almost dying from pancreatitis, Buddy constantly relapsed for five years before learning to be powerless over alcohol and surrender. That was in 2008, and Buddy has been sober ever since. Buddy practices AA but has a very open-minded approach to recovery, including hosting The Tao of Our understanding Recovery Podcast. You can also visit BuddyC.org for information on his book, Powerless But Not Helpless, a free daily Tao recovery meditation, and other sobriety resources. Are you enjoying these meditations?
