Appreciate step lessons with mediation practice. Insightful perspective and solid Step wisdom

### 5/5 — A great tool for people in recovery

*2020-06-04*

I have tried various meditation apps but none have been specific to alcoholism and dealing with recovery. There’s a range of Christian, Taoist and 12 step guided meditations. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for either a meditation at fixed times of the day as part of a routine or for anyone looking for assistance,for example there are great meditations for cravings.
