Meditation 7 of 7 Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our last 2-minute emergency meditation in our series discussing cravings. The topic is "Gratitude.\u201d 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 offers 5-minute, 10-minute, and 20-minute guided meditations. The tools remain the same, with longer meditations providing more time for reflection and shared experiences about each tool. Buddy C. hosts The Tao of Our Understanding Recovery Podcast.

I know from personal experience that neither is ever 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.
