Real Peace - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

MajestyJo · 03-24-2014, 05:34 PM

Went to a Meditation Meetings, they read from Steps 10, 11, and 12, and shared. They had 10 minutes of silence, candles burned and music played.

A woman who had over 30 years in recovery said, "I like coming here because life is so busy I seldom have time to meditate." I was shocked! How can you stay clean and sober without prayer and meditation. I am guilty of thinking of her as a dry drunk after hearing those words. Ironically, I later played bridge with her. She didn't change my mind. All I could do was pray for her, and thankfully she passed away sober.

As Osho says, "We can meditate doing dishes." When I am in the moment and right with my God, I am at peace.
