    Cravings - 2 Min Emergency Meditation 1 of 7

    Am I Staying Connected? Meditation 1 of 7 Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our first 2 minute emergency meditation in our series discussing cravings. The topic is, "Am I staying connected?" As an alcoholic, I know what it is like to have cravings so overwhelming that I can think of nothing else. In this series, we are going to talk about a specific tool in each meditation that has helped me in recovery.  Remember, this meditation series comes in a 2 minute emergency meditation, and a 5 minute, 10 minute, and 20 Minute more traditional contemplative guided meditation, focusing on the specific topic for that meditation series. The tools are the same, with the longer meditations giving more time for reflection and shared experience about each tool. All of our recordings are organized by topic. Go to the menu on the top left of your screen, then to categories.  The purpose of this meditation is to look through our thoughts to clearly see the recovery that is at our fingertips instead of focusing on our present circumstances that are causing 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.
