Here are thousands of men and women, worldly indeed—doctors, lawyers, ministers, yes, worldly people—people who had achieved some success. They flatly declare that since they have come to believe in a power greater than themselves, to take a certain attitude toward that power, and to do certain simple things, there’s been a revolutionary change in their way of living and thinking.”Joe emphasizes the importance of recognizing the power of belief and the simplicity of actions in bringing about revolutionary changes in our lives.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into Step 2 AA and exploring the shared human experiences that shape our journeys. Reflecting on the importance of understanding and compassion, Joe highlights the need to approach others with empathy and spiritual insight.In this session, Joe discusses the natural human reactions to spirituality and the importance of overcoming personal prejudices. “Your world gets pretty small if you don’t like anyone like you because pretty soon you’ll be with just you, and you ain’t going to be happy there either. So the reality is we’ve all had that. This is a human thing. So many of us have been so touchy that even casual reference to spiritual things made us bristle with antagonism.”Joe emphasizes the significance of approaching others with the same understanding and kindness we wish to receive. “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. I don’t get sent to anyone by accident. It’s my judgment of the situation that gets in the way of our collective wellness.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the universal aspects of human experience and the power of spiritual growth in the recovery process.

And I don’t know what God has for you, but he prepared me through some very difficult times to be able to do for you what he has empowered me to do for you. I don’t need thanks. It’s his; I’ll give it to him.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the power of awareness in the recovery process, offering hope and practical advice for those on their journey.

Sometimes good, sometimes scared. We’re not focusing you on the feeling. For you theologians, we’re not telling you God is a feeling. No. But what we are telling you is your awareness of the feeling is the power we call God. Because you are not your thought and you are not your emotion. You are the experiencer of thought and emotion. And once we awaken you to that fact, then all that stuff is a bunch of nonsense happening to a dead man. They couldn’t be talking about me.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the power of awareness in the recovery process, offering hope and practical advice for those on their journey.

Reflecting on the importance of lived experiences in understanding addiction, Joe highlights the unique qualifications of those who have lived through similar struggles to help others on their journey.In this session, Joe discusses how the personal stories in the Big Book provide invaluable lessons. “How many of you have read some parts of this book and learned something about alcoholism or addiction from those chapters? How many of you learned a great deal about alcoholism or addiction from lived experience? How many of you got some understanding of something that was incomprehensible because you read somebody’s shared experience with you about what happened to them and what they learned? That’s the whole point. Those of us who have lived through an experience are uniquely qualified to help someone else trying to live through an experience, aren’t we?”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the power of shared experiences in recovery, offering hope and practical advice for those on their journey.

Reflecting on the profound struggles faced by those in recovery, Joe highlights how the deterioration of one’s life often feels gradual, despite the accumulating chaos.Joe recounts, “So then he says gradually things got worse. You want to hear how he describes gradually? You got to get inside of his experience here. The house was taken over by the mortgage holder. And it takes months. How many of you got thrown out? It takes a while. You gotta ignore it. You break through the pass lock a few times. Any of you ever just break the lock box off the thing? No lock box breakers? It takes a while. My mother-in-law died and my wife and father-in-law became ill. So everything’s crashing around him and he’s considering it a gradual experience. Can you relate?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Reflecting on the challenges faced by those in recovery, Joe emphasizes the importance of accepting the truth about one’s condition to move forward.Joe opens up, “Ain’t nothing wrong here? Guess what? It’s not true. My mind doesn’t function the way it did a month ago. I get nauseous while I’m standing here talking to you. Just face the room. I literally get nauseated like I can’t hardly stand behind this podium. So I’ve stopped coming and I’ve been going to therapy. You know why I did that? Because a therapist told me, ‘Look, here’s all the deficits. You’ve lost eyesight on this side of your head. Did you feel your mind’s working overtime to try and fix it? And it can’t and so you’re fatigued and you’re nauseous and you’re going to die if you keep doing it, Joe.’ And I believed him. That’s why y’all don’t see me around here much right now. I still minister because this is what I do. But I’m telling you, my alcoholic diagnosis took me more than 3 weeks to accept.”For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Joe highlights the persistent illusion of control and the harsh realities of mental illness associated with addiction.In this session, Joe discusses the misconception of control within addiction. “Nevertheless I still thought I could control the situation.

How many of you stole from somebody in the house you were living with, and there was no earthly explanation for where whatever you stole went but to you? And there was no way you were talking to them. I’ll help you look. Wow. Yes.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

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 profound struggles faced by those battling addiction, Joe highlights the distorted perceptions and desperate behaviors that define the illness.In this session, Joe discusses the powerful imagery used to describe the depth of addiction. “Not only is he wrecking his friend if his sobriety is real, he’s probably killing him. And he’s so messed up that he thinks this is an oasis. What is an oasis typically? It may be water in a very arid place. But if I’m near death, it could very well be them. And the mirage is so potent that I’ll drink the sand.”Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding the nature and depth of addiction. “Does anyone feel what he’s putting down? He’s putting down a very powerful image if you internalize what he’s talking about. And then he said drinkers are like that. So we’re trying to understand the nature and the depth of that illness, aren’t we?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

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 profound impact of honest testimony in recovery, Joe highlights the importance of genuine belief and experience in witnessing the transformative power of a higher power.In this session, Joe discusses the credibility and depth that comes with true testimony. “It says, but my friend sat before me and made the point-blank declaration that God had done for him what he could not do for himself. Make a point-blank declaration with credibility unless you believe it. Truth has a field. I’ve heard lots of people profess power, and it had no depth and weight. But if somebody comes before you and witnesses in the spirit to the power of God’s reduction of a dead man to life and they know the experience, I guarantee you it comes with power. And that’s why we’re uniquely useful.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of authentic and heartfelt testimonies in the recovery journey, emphasizing the power of shared experiences and the support found 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.

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 harrowing struggles faced by those battling addiction, Joe highlights the moments of profound despair and the pivotal thoughts that can lead to a renewed commitment to sobriety.In this session, Joe discusses the degrading behaviors that addiction drives people to and the false sense of control that addicts often feel. “How many of you need to get well enough so you can just throw up back in the cup so you can drink it again? I’m telling you the real deal. And I thought that was normal. Nevertheless, hey dude, I was controlling the situation. Are you with me? And I don’t care what chemically you changed; we all did degrading things.”Joe also touches on the hope that periods of sobriety can bring to loved ones, emphasizing the importance of understanding and support from family and friends. “And there were periods of sobriety which renewed my wife’s hope. How many of you had some people watching you? Look, he’s doing so good. You got this. And you’re thinking, well, I hope so.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Reflecting on the harrowing struggles faced by those battling addiction, Joe highlights the moments of profound despair and the pivotal thoughts that can lead to a renewed commitment to sobriety.In this session, Joe discusses how the “chemical demon” of addiction takes over, leading to poor choices and an appalling lack of perspective. “You cannot make a choice with an unsound mind. You only have to determine if by your actions and your relating to this if you really think those were sound decisions. And if they were not, then you had displayed an appalling lack of perspective. And if that’s true, you might want to consider what the rest of this story is.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

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 harrowing struggles faced by those battling addiction, Joe highlights the moments of profound despair and the pivotal thoughts that can lead to a renewed commitment to sobriety.In this session, Joe reads from Bill’s Story in Chapter 1 of the Big Book, illustrating the deep sense of hopelessness that many experience. “My brain raced uncontrollably, and there was a terrible sense of impending calamity. I hardly dared cross the street lest I collapse and be run down by an early morning truck, for it was scarcely daylight. And all my place supplied me with a dozen glasses of ale. My writhing nerves were stilled at last. A morning paper told me that the market had gone to hell again. Well, so had I. The market would recover, but I wouldn’t.”He continues, “That was a hard thought. Any of you get to the point where you figured out that if I don’t try and clean up again, I can’t fail again?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Reflecting on the experiences shared by those struggling with opiate addiction, Joe provides a compassionate and understanding perspective, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and finding hope in recovery.Joe candidly discusses, “Should I kill myself? How many of you consider those types of things? Where’s my opiate addicts? How many of you didn’t consciously say should I kill myself if you loaded that rig a little heavy? Look, I’ve been with enough and I’ve been there myself enough that I know that I’m always hoping some event’s going to take me so I don’t have to do anything else about it. And some of you have done that, you know, suicide by a cop. I’ve got you know because I know the jam, right? Some of you I don’t know who’s in the room that’s got that going on. That’s a thing too. No, not now.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the profound despair many addicts face, while also offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Join Joe McDonald as he delves into Step 1 of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, focusing on the concept of alcoholism as an illness. Through insightful discussion, Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding addiction as a medical condition that requires professional help and a supportive recovery process.Reflecting on a crucial passage, Joe explains, “It relieved me somewhat to learn that in alcoholics, the will is amazingly weakened when it comes to combating liquor. One thing Bill learned because of Dr. Silkworth’s testimony to him was that dude, you were born with a condition. You drank until you couldn’t drink, but the way you drank was predetermined based on the allergic reaction you apparently have to that substance element. By the time you’re trying to stop and stay stopped, you find you have a little difficulty doing so, and it’s an illness. You have to understand that when you have an illness, you have to seek medical help to help you come back.”Joe highlights the significance of recognizing alcoholism as a condition beyond mere willpower, requiring a combination of medical intervention and a structured recovery program. This discussion sheds light on the compassionate and holistic approach needed for effective 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.

Join Joe McDonald as he explores the first step of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, focusing on the delusional thinking that often accompanies addiction. In this insightful discussion, Joe delves into the tendency of addicts to seek out companions who enable their destructive behaviors, creating an illusion of camaraderie and relief.Joe vividly describes the scenario: “That special friend who’s worse than me no matter how bad I am, he’s worse than me so I can drink openly with him. He ain’t gonna give me no lecture. I definitely don’t need no lecture. Anybody relate to that?” Reflecting on a passage from the Big Book, Joe shares, “Unmindful of his welfare, I thought only of recapturing the spirit of other days. There was that time we had chartered an airplane to complete a JAG. His coming was an oasis in this dreary desert of futility. The very thing, an oasis. Drinkers are like that.”Joe highlights the self-deception and delusional thinking prevalent in addiction, emphasizing the danger of seeking temporary relief through unhealthy relationships. This discussion underscores the importance of confronting these illusions to progress in 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.

Join Joe McDonald as he explores the profound moments of shared experience in Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. This session delves into the universal feelings of discomfort and revelation that arise during early recovery.Joe vividly recounts, “I felt the whole room go there. It does not matter your religious upbringing and training. When you’re drunk and drinking, and you know you probably oughtn’t to be, and the cat’s sitting with you announces, ‘I’ve got religion,’ the fun meter is going down. This is going to suck with a capital S-U-C-K.” Reflecting on a fellow’s testimony, he shares, “So he says I was a guest. So that was it. Last summer an alcoholic crackpot. Now I suspected a little crack about religion. How many of you had that? Look, I can get past this. A little twitchy. He had that starry-eyed look. Yes, the old boy was on fire all right, but bless his heart, let him rant.”Joe’s discussion highlights the skepticism and humor often found in early recovery and the shared understanding that transcends individual backgrounds. This honest and relatable dialogue underscores the importance of community and mutual support in the journey towards sobriety.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 the stark realities of addiction through the lens of Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. This session explores the desperation and power felt during the darkest times of addiction.Joe poignantly recounts, “How many of you can feel the power and the desperation in this testimony? That time in your mind emotionally when you thought you were having fun and pretty soon you knew it was work. And not only was it work, it was going to be a lot of work and I got to do it anyway.” Reflecting on a fellow’s testimony, he shares, “He describes it for him: gin, 2 bottles a day and often 3 got to be routine. This went on endlessly, and I began to awaken very early in the morning, shaking violently. Then started hanging out more and more frequently in those places and got on the hook borrowing money if they’d let you.”Joe encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences, asking, “How many of you started doing things to get something you wanted that you really never thought you’d find yourself doing?” This raw and honest discussion highlights the brutal cycle of addiction and the steps towards acknowledging powerlessness over substances.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 insightful exploration of Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, Joe McDonald delves into the transformative journey from darkness to light, illustrating the profound shift that occurs when embracing recovery. Reflecting on a pivotal passage, Joe highlights the moment of clarity that precedes the awakening into a new dimension of existence.Joe recounts, “How dark it is before the dawn. In reality, that was the beginning of my last debauch. I was soon to be catapulted into what I like to call the fourth dimension of existence.” He explains this concept further, “We hear people talking about being rocketed into a fourth dimension. He’s talking about a fourth dimension of existence where I don’t live in worry or remorse. I’m here and now, not there and out here.”This transformative experience is described as a journey to a state of being where happiness, peace, and usefulness are deeply felt and continue to grow over time. Joe’s discussion sheds light on the promise of recovery and the incredible potential for a more wonderful way of life.“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” This first step is crucial in recognizing the need for change and the possibility of a new existence.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 insightful exploration of Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, Joe McDonald delves into the crucial moment of clarity that many experience in their journey to recovery. Reflecting on the passage, Joe highlights how addiction often leads to celebrating prematurely, which then spirals into further loss and regret.Joe recounts, “I was to share generously in the profits. Then I went on a prodigious bender in that chance advantage. So I went to celebrate profits to come, and then the chance to get profit went away. So he said, I woke up. This had to be stopped.” He asks, “How many of you have had that moment in your addiction?” This moment of realization is pivotal, often followed by a strong conviction that change is necessary.“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” This first step is crucial in recognizing the need for change and the dangers of self-medication.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 insightful exploration of Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, Joe McDonald delves into the perils of self-medication. Reflecting on the passage, Joe highlights how easily individuals can be caught in the cycle of addiction, often exacerbated by attempts to manage symptoms with other substances like Valium or Ativan.Joe humorously recounts, “The doctor thought you may have had a little Valium deficiency. If you’re a serious enough drinker, they’ll treat your Valium deficiency every once in a while.” He points out how this approach, rather than alleviating the problem, often leads to quicker and more severe health declines, encapsulated in the phrase, “Better living through chemistry.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the broader issue within recovery communities where the focus sometimes shifts too narrowly, leading to debates about whether to talk about drugs or alcohol specifically. He emphasizes the importance of understanding that addiction, regardless of the substance, leads to the same destructive path.“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” This first step is crucial in recognizing the need for change and the dangers of self-medication.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 profound discussion of Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, Joe McDonald explores the intense loneliness and despair that comes with addiction. Joe delves into the vivid imagery used in the Big Book: “No words can tell of the loneliness and despair I found in that bitter morass of self-pity.” He shares his personal insights, emphasizing the struggle and the feeling of being stuck in quicksand, where any attempt to fight only makes one sink faster.Reflecting on the experience of hitting rock bottom, Joe asks, “How many of you scrambled? What happens when you struggle in quicksand? You sink faster.” This metaphor illustrates the futility of fighting addiction alone and the need for surrender. Joe highlights a crucial point from the Big Book: “We cease fighting anything or anyone.”“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” This first step is a pivotal moment of realization and acceptance, acknowledging the need for a higher power and the support of the recovery community.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, providing deep insights and practical guidance for those on their recovery journey.

In this powerful exploration of Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, Joe McDonald delves into the harsh reality of relapse and its devastating effects. Joe discusses the experience of a person who, after having some clean time, drank once more and faced a rapid decline in moral and bodily health, akin to going off a ski jump.The Big Book vividly illustrates this descent: “But it was not for the frightful day came when I drank once more. The curve of my declining moral and bodily health fell off like a ski jump.” Joe expands on this picture, asking viewers to reflect on their own experiences. How many of you had some clean time, got serious about recovery, and then relapsed, only to find that things got bad very quickly?“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” This step is crucial in acknowledging the severity of addiction and the urgent need for a higher power to reclaim one’s life.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, providing deep insights and practical guidance for those on their recovery journey.

In this segment, Joe McDonald delves into Step 1 of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, exploring the fundamental truth of admitting powerlessness over alcohol and the subsequent need for a higher power to restore us to sanity. Joe expands on the core message, highlighting the journey of a man who, against all odds, found life and sobriety through the realization that God dwells within, providing the power needed for recovery.The Big Book emphasizes, “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” This acknowledgment is the first step towards reclaiming our lives from the grips of addiction. Joe discusses how two individuals vouched for the transformative power within, leading to a miraculous change in someone who once seemed beyond help.“Without help, it is too much for us. But there is One who has all power—that One is God. May you find Him now!” (AA Big Book, p. 58).Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering profound insights and practical guidance to help you on your recovery journey.

Some of the things we’ve heard over the years in the fellowships are absolute nonsense and can be harmful. Under our roof, we ensure a different approach. The power of recovery is found deep within you—experienced as peace, happiness, and a sense of direction flowing from within. It’s sensory and relevant to your life; it’s the power to live.We want you to understand that we don’t care about your specific beliefs or conceptions. What matters is recognizing that whatever brought you here—whether it’s heroin, methamphetamines, or maladaptive behavior—is a power greater than you. If you’re willing to believe that, then we have a starting point. Together, we’ll come to believe that recovery is possible and that power within can lead us to a better life.Join us as we explore Step 12 and the profound experiences of recovery in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

In this segment, we dive into Step 12 from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the human connections and understanding required to help others on their recovery journey. When your conversation is calm, compassionate, and filled with understanding, you may make a friend and awaken them to the realities of alcoholism. The more hopeless they feel, the more likely they are to follow your suggestions and embark on their recovery journey.Have you ever spoken to someone multiple times, only for them to return one day ready to listen and take action? That’s a sign they’re genuinely ready to change. Often, candidates give reasons why they need not follow the entire program. How many of you have worked with someone like that? Or been that person yourself? Many of us are uniquely qualified to help those reluctant to embrace the full program because we’ve been there too.Join us as we explore these experiences and learn how to effectively support others by sharing your journey and offering friendship and fellowship.

In this segment, we explore the profound insights of Step 12 from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the compelling analogy between jaywalking and addiction. Just as a jaywalker takes increasingly risky chances until they’re inevitably hit by a car, our addiction follows a similar pattern. We start off thinking we’re just having a good time, only to find ourselves needing to get lit up just to feel anything. This journey from casual use to dependency is an all-too-familiar path for many.We delve into how this analogy helps illustrate the progression of addiction, from lying about how much you drank to eventually confronting the full circle of your actions. This step emphasizes the importance of recognizing these patterns and sharing our experiences to help others on their recovery journey.Join us as we navigate the complexities of recovery, highlighting the importance of understanding these patterns.

In this segment, we dive into the profound insights of Step 12 from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. We explore the inherent power and persuasiveness of substances like alcohol and drugs, emphasizing why it’s crucial not to try and persuade someone to stop drinking if they’re not ready. The authors caution us that trying to compete with the force of addiction can spoil future opportunities for recovery. Instead, focus on being present, asking questions, and paying attention to the individual’s needs.Join us as we navigate the complexities of recovery, highlighting the importance of timing and the immense power of addiction.

Position of Neutrality is a study of the manner of living suggested by the founders of A.A. which was recorded in the book Alcoholics Anonymous. The story of how many thousands of men and women have recovered from alcoholism.

But I got to do my best to bring that about, yes? So actually, he may be helping you more than you’re helping him. Make it plain that he is under no obligation to you, that you hope only that he will try to help other alcoholics when he escapes his own difficulties. How do I make what I thought was a wasted life purposeful and useful if I don’t go out and avert suffering for others with that experience? I will not ever efficiently or effectively clean house until I use the worst of those experiences to lift up my brother or sister. And so, that is my lifelong search—to put all that to purpose.”Join us as we explore Step 12 and the profound experiences of recovery in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Come on, where’s my addicts? Doesn’t that make perfect sense? I ain’t waiting for an up; I’m going out there and shagging me one.” So, Jim goes out into the woods where carburetor car buyers, who don’t go to dealerships, hang out. On his way, he passes a roadside place with a bar. Not a concern, because he does not pick up no matter what. He orders a sandwich and a glass of milk. Then the thought came to him: “You know, if I had another sandwich, another glass of milk, a shot of whiskey in the milk couldn’t hurt me on a full stomach.” The experiment went so well that Jim had another.Join us as we explore Step 12 and the profound experiences of recovery in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

You may have to act a good Samaritan every day if need be.” What does this mean? The Good Samaritan wasn’t supposed to help at all, but he couldn’t walk by a brother or neighbor lying beaten and bloodied. He picked him up, bandaged him, put him on his own animal, took him to an inn, and paid his rent. He said, “I’ll be back in a few days, and I’ll clear up for him.” We may have to do that every day if need be.Join us as we explore Step 12 and the profound experiences of recovery in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

If you announce yourself a new person and the whole swarm hits you, you won’t get a word in edgewise. I need them to ask why I’m there and who sent me. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous advises, ‘Tell him enough about your drinking habits, symptoms, and experiences to encourage him to speak of himself.’ Do you know your drinking habits, symptoms, and experiences? It’s not just about what it was like; I bear witness to what I was like, what happened, and what I’m like now, which they can assess for themselves.Join us as we explore Step 12 and the profound experiences of recovery in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Suggest how important it is that he places the welfare of other people ahead of his own. Make it clear that he’s not under pressure and need not see you again if he doesn’t want to. Reassure him that you won’t be offended if he wants to call it off, as he has helped you more than you’ve helped him. As the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous states, ‘Practical experience shows that nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics.’ This approach fosters a spiritual awakening, revealing that the power flowing through you is not of you.

He may rebel at the thought of a drastic house cleaning which requires discussion with other people. Do not contradict such views. Tell him that you once felt as he does but you doubt whether you’d have made much progress had you not taken action. On your first visit, tell him about the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Let us warn you in advance though we’re liable to be perceived by you a little differently than other meetings of twelve-step fellowships you may have attended. The primary reason is that we intend for you to have a different experience here. What we do is take a look at the suggested instruction for a step or so a week directly out of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The process described by the authors of this book has been proven to work for addicts of the hopeless variety, addicts to alcohol and other substances. ‘Faith without works is dead,’ and we must agree on certain things as fact or we don’t move forward.You’ll be most successful with alcoholics if you do not exhibit any passion for crusade or reform. Never talk down to an alcoholic from a moral or spiritual hilltop; simply lay out the kit of spiritual tools for his inspection. Show him how they worked with you. Offer him friendship and fellowship. Tell him that if he wants to get well, you’ll do anything to help.’ That’s the one promise we should make to people: If you want to get well, I’ll do anything to help.Join us as we explore Step 12, where ‘Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.’ Tune in every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Arizona time on our YouTube channel for more insights and community support.

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it acknowledges that some people are religious and believe they have sinned beyond redemption, while others are atheists or agnostics assuming the power to do better is within them. It’s important to address these groups separately. For those who are religious, it’s about understanding that we don’t rely solely on our own understanding, as the Bible says, ‘lean not on your own understanding.’ For atheists and agnostics, the power needed to do better is indeed within you, but it is not of you.

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, we read about Jim the car guy. Jim didn’t even start drinking until he was middle-aged and found he was good at it—so good that he lost the car dealership he owned because of his drinking. When we pick up on Jim’s story, he’s having to work for the dealership he once owned. The authors describe how Jim felt a little agitated on his way to work. How many of you have had to go to a diminished job because of your behavior and addiction and felt a little agitated to have to do that? That’s what happened to Jim. Join us as we explore Jim’s story and the transformative power of Step 12, focusing on learning from our past and helping others in recovery.

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it says, ‘So that’s the experience we want to share with them.’ Just because I think I’m doing this, knowing my history, doesn’t mean I’m free from the insanity of the first drink. When they talk about the insanity of the first one, I’m certifiable at the point I take one, knowing my history. So, at this stage, don’t refer to this book unless he has seen it or wishes to discuss it, and be careful not to brand him as an alcoholic. Let him draw his own conclusion. If he sticks to the idea that he can still control his drinking, tell him that possibly he can, if he’s not too alcoholic. Join us as we explore the transformative power of Step 12, focusing on sharing our experiences and guiding others without imposing labels.

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it says, ‘Helping others is the foundation stone of your recovery.’ My sponsor once told me those were the twelve-step promises, but he didn’t tell me it was a job description. He said, ‘That’s the best you got coming, son, the way you live.’ Fact is, it is the best I had coming. The most rewarding experiences of my life are lifting somebody up out of deplorable conditions and watching them sail. It also states, ‘Practical experience shows that nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail.’ Join us as we explore the transformative power of Step 12, focusing on the immense rewards of lifting others in recovery.

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it says, ‘We seldom allow an alcoholic to live in our homes for long at a time. It’s not good for him and sometimes creates serious complications in the family.’ The most rewarding experiences of my life are lifting somebody up out of deplorable conditions and watching them sail. Though an alcoholic does not respond, there’s no reason why you should neglect their family. You should continue to be friendly to them and offer your way of life. I must be in a way of life to offer it, but I can let them know that the healing power is available and is in pursuit of their loved one. They must get in sync with the spirit for this to work out well. Atmospherics matter. Join us as we explore the transformative power of Step 12, focusing on lifting others and offering a way of life in recovery.

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it recounts another trip to the asylum for Jim. Any of you relate to thinking it would be harmless to oops? The other guy they talk about—well, we don’t need to get into it. Do you relate to those things? If he’s alcoholic, he’ll understand you at once. So the good news is we’re communicating. The bad news is you just caught alcoholism. But there is a solution. Join us as we explore the transformative power of Step 12, focusing on understanding the alcoholic and the solution offered in recovery.
