Position of Neutrality: Discovering the Internal Source of Experience Step 3 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the intricate aspects of Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the understanding that experiences come from within, Joe discusses the challenges of self-judgment and the importance of internalizing a higher standard through a power greater than ourselves.Joe elaborates, “If I’m experiencing it, it’s coming from within, maybe reflected on you. I can’t keep judging the way I think and feel based on how I see you act or hear you speak. That’s going to require a power greater than me if I’m honest.” This session encourages self-reflection and the realization that we are often in conflict with others even when our motives are good.Joe’s discussion sheds light on these universal challenges while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process. This session emphasizes the importance of reaching out for help and the power of the support found within recovery communities.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Position of Neutrality: Self-Centeredness and Its Impact on Our Lives Step 3 AA

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the insights of Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the pervasive nature of self-centeredness, Joe highlights how this trait manifests in various forms, regardless of one’s circumstances.Joe shares, “That’s a human thing. You don’t have to be in prison to learn that little trick. I used to think the whole world was waiting for me to go defend it. Any of you been there? Our actor is self-centered, egocentric as people like to call it nowadays. He’s like the retired businessman who lolls in the Florida sunshine in the winter, complaining of the sad state of the nation, the minister who sighs over the sins of the 20th century, politicians and reformers who are sure all would be utopia if the rest of the world would only behave, the outlaw safecracker who thinks society has wronged him, and the alcoholic who has lost all and is locked up. Whatever our protestations, are not most of us concerned with ourselves, our resentments, or our self-pity?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on these universal challenges while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Position of Neutrality: Embracing Life’s Unpredictability in Step 3 AA

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the profound realizations that come with Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe delves into the delusion of managing one’s own life and the importance of finding inspiration beyond the transient aspects of the world.“How many of you did not know that you managing your own life was pure delusion? We teach people. We have them read books. But what they’re talking about is a bigger picture. There are events that are going to happen to you that cannot be planned for. And no matter what your planning is, you’re going to go through them even ill-prepared to do so. So the idea that I can wrest satisfaction and happiness when I’m living out a human experience is pure folly. I’m not going to wrestle it out of the air. I’m going to have to live in it and fan that flame of it within me. I’m going to have to find things that inspire happiness in me that are not of the world, not transitional. Does that make sense?”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the importance of embracing life’s unpredictability and finding enduring sources of happiness.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the journey of recovery in Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe discusses the grace some people experience and the pivotal moments that lead to profound change.“See, some people get a fair amount of grace and sort of play the fool for a while, hang out in our fellowships, and then some crisis comes and they dig in, and all of a sudden they get better. And they go, ‘Why didn’t someone tell me this a long time ago?’ And people like Jim and Paul and Sean are sitting there going, ‘Well, we tried. We know. We know what it looks like. We know what it feels like. We know we cannot spare you from the experience you demand to have, but we can love you through it.’”Joe’s discussion highlights the transformative power of grace and the importance of support within recovery communities.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

Position of Neutrality: Understanding the Root of Our Troubles in Step 3 AA

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the core of addiction and the underlying issues in Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe discusses the real root of our troubles—selfishness and self-centeredness.“So selfishness, self-centeredness—that, we think, is the root of our troubles. How many of you thought the root of your troubles was the system, the girl, the guy, the dope? The root of my problems was never there. Those were all symptoms of an underlying issue. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt us seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time in the past we’ve made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt.”Joe’s discussion highlights the importance of recognizing the real cause of our problems and how understanding this can lead to a more profound recovery.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

Position of Neutrality: Addressing Mental Health in Step 3 AA

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the crucial aspects of mental health in Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe discusses the importance of recognizing grave emotional and mental disorders and the journey toward recovery.“I had willingness because I had beat dog turd out of myself. I was broken enough to let something else operate through me. Some people call it getting struck sober. So it says their chances are less than average. There are those too who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders but many of them do recover if they have the capacity. Be honest. How many of you have met those people with grave emotional and mental disorders? How many of you determined it was you?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the struggles of those with mental disorders within the context of addiction recovery, emphasizing honesty and the potential for recovery.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

Position of Neutrality: Conceding to Your Innermost Self in Step 3 AA

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the critical journey of Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe discusses the importance of fully conceding to your innermost self, as outlined in the chapter “More About Alcoholism.”“Write your own prayer if you want to. But they told you in the chapter ‘More About Alcoholism,’ we learned we had to fully concede to your innermost self. That’s the first step. You can’t do that based on a lie. So if you don’t intend to follow through, then you’re not going to get any power to follow through. Sometimes a very great one was felt at once. You’ll get a signature of the Spirit or something will change the way you live and think as a result of the decision.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the necessity of honesty and the profound impact of genuinely committing to the recovery journey.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

In this session, Joe discusses the tangible experience of spiritual power and the importance of overcoming prejudices to access this inner strength.“You’ll feel it. It’s tangible, right? And when you do, I’ll call it to your attention because I’ll know. Because we would teach you to talk to you about the power we call God without giving you a demonstration of that power. The other thing we do around here a little quirky but we’re known for it. When I say God, they say. Because we don’t want anyone that has prejudice from theological reasons or religious maltreatment or whatever to deny themselves the opportunity to source from this power within that we’re all seeking to find if lack of power is our dilemma, yes.”Joe’s discussion highlights the importance of recognizing and embracing spiritual power as a key component of the recovery process.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

In this session, Joe discusses the importance of fearlessness and thorough honesty right from the start, emphasizing the need for self-awareness and genuine reflection.“With all the earnestness at our command, we beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start. The reason I couldn’t be honest is because I was afraid to be honest. And I’m not talking about stealing from you; of course, I stole from you—I had to feed a habit that was bigger than my ability to control it. But I wasn’t able to be honest with myself about how defeating my continued behavior was and how my plan was going to work out that this was all going to dovetail into victory someday.”Joe’s discussion highlights the internal struggles many face, underscoring the importance of confronting fears and embracing honesty as a foundation for recovery.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the profound journey of Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe discusses the concept of complete abandon and the importance of embracing a new way of living through the suggested steps.“So it says we ask his protection and care with complete abandon. There went my old ideas over here. Yes. Hopefully. Here are the steps we took which are suggested as a program of recovery. I don’t want to go through all the steps. You’ve seen them a hundred times. But I’m going to jump over to page 60 and we’ll talk about the experience. I’ve seen the steps on the wall; someone’s told me that’s what I’m gonna do if I’m actually gonna be in the program, the manner of living. You can go be in the fellowship, do none of this, none of it matters, and if you’re not like me, it may work out for you. If you are like me, it can get a little dicey. But we ain’t gonna talk about that. Okay, many of us exclaimed what an order! I can’t go through with it. That’s a natural reaction.”Joe’s discussion highlights the initial overwhelm many feel when approaching the steps, emphasizing the transformative power of surrender and willingness to embrace a new way of life.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the transformative journey of Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe emphasizes the importance of selflessness and service, discussing how to establish oneself on a solid foundation to grow and thrive in recovery.“But if you’re just dealing in general with humans, he said if you love me, feed my sheep. So we serve them all. Anyone anywhere reaches out their hand for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there. For that, I’m responsible. Established on such a footing, we became less and less interested in ourselves. So how do you get rid of self? I get established on this footing, that keystone of the new and triumphant arch. I get established in that absolute certainty. I walk in it, serve in it, and I grow in it.”Joe’s discussion highlights the shift from self-centeredness to selflessness, underscoring the importance of serving others as a crucial part of the recovery journey.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving deep into the transformative principles of Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the nature of selflessness and the illusion of control, Joe emphasizes the importance of focusing on others’ needs to truly find satisfaction and happiness.Joe explains, “Each person is like an actor who wants to run the whole show, forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery, and the rest of the players in his own way. His arrangements would only stay put if only people would do as he wished the show would be great. Many of you have felt that way: if they would just do what I’m telling them. Where are my people that have been blessed with a spiritual awakening? Here’s all the steps to try to work with some people. Do you notice how reluctant they are to take your suggestions? Never had more than a few of them at a time. Do you ever get really frustrated by the fact that they’re not bowing to your infinite wisdom? The show would be great if they’d just listen. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased. Life would be wonderful.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the critical shift from self-centeredness to genuine selflessness, a key component in the journey of recovery.

It’s to enact the manner of living suggested in 4 through 9 and then awaken to the power within me as I serve. Does that make sense?

Does that make sense? So on the other hand, he may be mean, egotistical, selfish, and dishonest. Any of you have that? Some of us prided ourselves on it, right? Some of us, that was our survival tool. Where’s my people that just survived on just keeping making sure no one talks to me? If you live on the streets, that’s how you play. But as with most humans, he’s more likely to have varied traits. So what I’m going to try and do is grow into more normal human responses to human interactions. That make sense?

Reflecting on the notion that faith is a barrier, Joe discusses the importance of letting go of preconceived dogma and understanding the true essence of recovery.“Then it says that was great news to us. For we had assumed we could not make use of spiritual principles unless we accepted many things on faith which seemed difficult to believe. That’s why we want to surrender what you think the dogma is of recovery or church. There is no requirement. For years they say the only requirement is the desire to stop drinking, but I’ve been coming for lots and lots of years and I have never met an arbiter of desire at any door. So they know requirements—that’s bullshit we say for our brochures. Come as you are. Churches are the same way. There’s people there that know. You’ll be guided to them. When people presented us with spiritual approaches, how frequently did we all say I wish I had what that man has?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of embracing spiritual principles without the burden of dogma, offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Position of Neutrality: Addressing Agnosticism and Finding Solutions in Step 2 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and emotional experiences outlined in the early pages of the book. Reflecting on the challenges many face, Joe discusses the difficulty in finding solutions and the natural tendency towards doubt, especially among agnostics.“How many of you have tried solving your problem with the mind that created it? Many of you know what that means. How many of you solved your alcohol problem with a methamphetamine solution or perhaps an opiate solution of some type or a benzo? Maybe you just compounded your problem because you thought you had an Ativan deficiency. Okay, so that means we’ve written a book which we believe to be spiritual as well as moral and it means of course that we’re gonna talk about God. Here difficulty arises with agnostics. So long before we got there, we acknowledged that we all are doubters by nature, so we want to focus you on the experience. Does that make sense?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the common struggles in finding effective solutions while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Position of Neutrality: Embracing Spiritual Approaches in Step 2 AA

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and emotional experiences outlined in the early pages of the book. Reflecting on the challenges many face, Joe discusses the difficulty in embracing spiritual approaches and the common feeling of inadequacy in faith.“When people presented us with spiritual approaches, how frequently did we all say, ‘I wish I had what that man has. I’m sure it would work if I could only believe as he believes. But I cannot accept as surely true the many articles of faith which are so plain to him.’ Have you ever had that experience? I’m not hateful towards this person, but I just can’t get from where I am to where that person is. I’d love to be like them because I admire many of their qualities, but that’s not available to me. Have you ever thought that?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on these universal challenges while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process. This session emphasizes the importance of reaching out for help and the power of the support found within recovery communities.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and emotional experiences outlined in the early pages of the book. Reflecting on the challenges many face, Joe discusses the importance of discovering personal spirituality and understanding that the answers lie within.“But don’t assume they know everything about you to inform you about your life purpose. That’s nonsense. The answers for you are in you. Does that make sense? So our own conception, however inadequate, was sufficient to make the approach and effect the contact with Him. It is my responsibility to acknowledge the knock. Now that I understand the various ways this power has tried to encounter me and awaken me, it is my responsibility to search diligently within and try and improve that relationship.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on these universal challenges while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Position of Neutrality: Overcoming Prejudice and Misconceptions About God in AA Step 2

oin Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and emotional experiences outlined in the early pages of the book. Reflecting on the challenges many face, Joe discusses overcoming prejudice and misconceptions about God and spirituality, particularly those stemming from childhood or violent anti-religious sentiments.“Some of us have been violently anti-religious. To others, the word God brought up a particular idea of him, which someone had tried to impress upon them during childhood. Perhaps we rejected this particular conception because it seemed inadequate. With that rejection, we imagined we had abandoned the God idea entirely. We were bothered with the thought that faith and dependence upon a power beyond ourselves was somewhat weak, even cowardly. Any of you been there? Get just real uncomfortable with that conversation. I’m waiting on timing, and you’re kind of the make-it-happen type of person. Yeah.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on these universal challenges while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Reflecting on the common resistance to spiritual discussions, Joe addresses the importance of overcoming prejudices towards spirituality in the recovery journey.“Okay, but his face falls when we speak of spiritual matters, especially when we mention God. For we’ve reopened a subject which our man thought he had neatly evaded or entirely ignored. It’s a travesty that we shy away from describing what this experience is because someone’s going to be offended at a word. That means that I care so little about you and your family that I’m willing to let you die over a silly prejudice. And I am not. So I’m going to talk to you about this power in the most inoffensive way I can. And I’m going to share it with you so passionately at a minimum you’re going to be curious how a crazy son of a bitch like that can be that excited all these years later.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the journey of accepting a higher power while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

The reader may still ask why he should believe in a power greater than himself. I think I have advanced that for you earlier. But we think there are some good reasons. Let us take a look at some of them. The practical individual today is a stickler for facts and results. Is that you? Show me, don’t tell me. I’ll research it myself.

Position of Neutrality: Step 2 AA - Understanding Faith and Power in Recovery

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he delves into Step 2 AA from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the concept of faith and the power it brings to recovery. Joe draws a parallel between belief in spiritual power and belief in electricity: “Many of us have been shocked. Maybe if you’ve never experienced a painful experience, you have a faith that allows you to know that you walk in, hit a light switch, and lights come on. This power we’re talking about is no different than the people who believe in electrical theory and worship it all the time.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the importance of having faith in something beyond oneself and how this faith can be as practical and real as believing in electricity. He encourages viewers to explore their beliefs and trust in a higher power for transformative change.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

Position of Neutrality: Step 2 AA - Abandoning Prejudices for Spiritual Growth

bonus

Join Joe McDonald as he explores Step 2 AA from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on overcoming prejudices and embracing spiritual growth. “So many of us have been so touchy that even a casual reference to spiritual things made us bristle with antagonism.”Joe explains, “It’s natural for people to bristle because of their own prejudice, so I’ve got to find a way in the spirit to approach them the way I would like to be approached if the role was reversed. This sort of thinking had to be abandoned. Though some of us resisted, we found no great difficulty in casting aside such feelings.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the importance of taking captive the thought, stopping the loop, and making conscious efforts to improve collective wellness.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

Join Joe McDonald as he delves into Step 2 AA from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the transformative journey of discovering a power greater than ourselves. “Sometimes we’re gonna have to search fearlessly. Pretty simple, right?”Joe explains, “Where and how are we to find this power? That’s exactly what this book is about. That’s exactly what this meeting is about—to focus people on the book and not just to wave the book but to dig deep in the book, turn every sentence into a question, and ask what it means to me. Because this manner of living only works for me. It’s not going to make you better; it’s going to make my idea of you better if I’ll practice it. Its main object is to enable you to find a power greater than yourself which will solve your problem.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the importance of personal connection with the text and the profound impact of internalizing the principles of the Big Book.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

Position of Neutrality: Experiencing Consciousness and Intuition in Step 2 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into Step 2 AA and exploring the moments when we experience consciousness and intuition in times of imminent danger or athletic perfection. Reflecting on these profound experiences, Joe emphasizes the importance of recognizing our intuitive selves.In this session, Joe discusses how time seems to slow down during critical moments, allowing us to experience our consciousness. “Car wreck, gunfight, whatever is going on. Did you notice at the time of imminent danger, time seemed to slow down for you? Some of you are feeling that. When that happened, you experienced your consciousness because time doesn’t slow down, but the author of time slows down events, and we experience consciousness in those moments. Does that make sense?”Joe also highlights the connection between these moments and our intuitive selves. “Who’s the perfect athlete here? Anybody been athletic? Perfect shot, perfect throw, perfect dive, whatever. At least tried. Did you remember the time when you made the perfect catch, perfect dive, perfect throw? You had no doubt in you although it was completely impossible in everyone watching’s eye. No doubt you experienced at that moment your intuitive self.”Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

Reflecting on the illusions and misconceptions we often encounter, Joe emphasizes the need for honest introspection and understanding.In this session, Joe discusses the importance of not taking things at face value. “Do you conclude that somebody just shows you a picture on the internet of a unicorn or Bigfoot or whatever? You may or may not assume that it’s Bigfoot season in Seattle based on the picture you saw. I don’t want to offend any Bigfoot aficionados, and I’m sure I have my share of unicorn fans too. So it’s being constantly revealed as mankind studies the material world that outward appearances are not inward reality at all.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of seeking deeper truths and understanding beyond surface-level appearances.

Reflecting on personal experiences, Joe emphasizes the inclusive nature of spiritual journeys and the importance of understanding spiritual terms in your own context.In this session, Joe discusses the idea that spiritual growth meets you where you are. “Now if you’re more religious, you’ll hear people say he meets you where you are. You don’t have to clean up to come home. Just say you’re ready to come home. He’ll pick you up and put you on his shoulders and carry you back. And then we’ll be rejoicing in heaven. I’m speaking to the biblical folks now. This applies too to other spiritual expressions which you find in this book. Do not let any prejudice you may have against spiritual terms deter you from asking yourself what they mean to you. Guys, get in the habit if you need to go get foundational wisdom by all means read their books talk to people schooled but the answers for you are in you.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the universal aspects of human experience and the power of spiritual growth in the recovery process.
