You write beautifully. The “gift of desperation’ will carry you far! “We relax and take it easy, we don’t struggle.” One day at a time❤

Thank God my obsession has been lifted and I have 7 days sober

This has taken the place of the morning news on my morning commute. Thank you

Coming up on 5 years sober. Thanks be to God and AA.

I am 29 and have just started NA and AA. I'm so grateful, and thankful for all of my fellow members. ❤ I am proud of you, whoever is reading this, no matter where you're at in your recovery. If you feel down, or afraid, I love you and I want you to have courage. Just take it one day at a time, even one minute at a time. I believe in you, you can do this. We can do this.

Good morning addicts and alcoholics let's get sober today and lift each other up in fellowship and doing what is right and be getting out of God's way to move forward with the day

I still listen to this every morning. Started back in 2019 before sobriety and now 2.5 years after being sober. This amazing recording will forever be a part of my life. I even have the mp3 version saved on my phone. Thank you for your service Joey.

Listen every morning to start my day right Thank you

I first started listening to this meditation when I had around 18months and I’m now coming up on 8 years. This is really enhanced my 11th step and has nurtured a love within me for AA literature. Thank you for this service!

I don't see myself as being an alcoholic and don't want to put out a negative affirmation about myself, so I don't follow the AA 12 steps; *but* I do acknowledge that I have an addictive personality, and I am working on that by reducing alcohol, cigarettes and the "legal" drugs bit by bit - like coffee and food - *and* that I have to work on my humbleness to overcome my ego which tells me the lie of being able to do everything by myself. Hence I downloaded many AA prayers here to pray daily to *the divine* (not to the - guilt inflicting bible creator saviour designed by the church for their own purpose.- And I came here just to let you know that I found this the best of all sermons for addressing profound issues others don't. Thank you.

My new morning meditation 🧘‍♀️ ✨️ what a beautiful way to start the day. God Bless you 🙏

thank you for this. i took a walk this morning as i listened to the whole thing. it was ... meditative.

Thank you. I'm back to working a program after white-knuckling my sobriety for years. I've been instructed to read the morning meds every morning. This is nice to listen to when I'm having a hard time reading from lack of sleep. This is on my check-list.

If one is making steady progress in Recovery, at a certain point the realization comes that continued sobriety is not about drinking or not drinking at all but about restoring meaning and purpose to our lives. This is practiced by aligning our will with that of a life sustaining restorative power instead of with the petty, selfish desires of our fearful and animalistic lower natures. When we lived at the mercy of our cravings we suffered. When we acted on a "God help me. What do I do?" moment, we had a breakthrough but one in need of protection like a small bird, healthy and growing but not yet able to fly on strong and agile wings.

I agree w t person who said that reading t BB in a soft tone is not t intent of meditation-step 11 in t step book can further assist u in t wonderful journey of wordlessness, which is t state brought on by meditation. Keep searching if u r looking for true meditative experiences-counting breaths to 4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, when thoughts break in DO NOT FOLLOW THEM-LET THEM GO-This is meditation, letting go of thought, words...

Robyn Schultz this could be categorized as a sort of guided meditation. But let's say you are absolutely right. In any case, why not focus on gratitude for someone who took time to make this. Gratitude that it is helping people stay sober, just for today instead of pointing out how this is not a true meditation. This is exactly how we ruin our relationships with people. Gratitude for every little goodness someone extends to us is the magnet that attracts miracles to our lives. Pause when you want to criticize. Speak words of gratitude instead. Works wonders in all relationships.
