Position of Neutrality

Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 1 AA session, Wayne reflects on the profound transformation witnessed within the fellowship, where those who had reached the deepest depths of addiction are now experiencing recovery.“This has become the basis of a rapidly growing fellowship of these men and their families. This man and over one hundred others appear to have recovered. I personally know scores of cases who were of the type with whom other methods had failed completely.”Wayne emphasizes the significance of these recoveries, noting the extraordinary potential for growth in the fellowship. These transformations not only offer hope but also highlight the possibility of a new era in the treatment and understanding of alcoholism.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 1 AA session, Wayne discusses the moment when the mask of pretense finally becomes too heavy to wear. He reflects on the endless spree of addiction, where day after day is filled with the same destructive behaviors, until the effort to pretend that life is anything but drug-filled becomes unbearable.“There came a day when it was too much work to even pretend that I was doing anything but living this drug-filled life. I asked this group of friends that I had when I got out of prison the first time—they were all about the age I am now, which is weird to say but middle-aged—and we were getting high and doing all this. I asked them, ‘How do you justify continuing to do this at your age?’”Wayne’s story highlights the painful self-realization that comes when the facade of control shatters, leaving only the harsh truth of addiction. This moment of clarity is crucial in the journey to recovery, where one must confront the reality of their situation before true change can begin.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 1 AA session, Wayne confronts the harsh reality of the alcoholic’s dual nature. He reflects on how, when drinking, the real alcoholic becomes a person almost unrecognizable from their true self.“I was pretty tweaked out all the time, right? Anybody else? There was no in-between. I’m either using or I’m not. His disposition while drinking resembles his normal nature but little. If we can’t be honest with ourselves, if we can’t differentiate the true from the false, how do we know what our normal nature was? Did we know what our normal nature was? I mean, lying, cheating, and thieving really is not who I am.”Wayne shares his experience of being extroverted even while tweaking, keeping people around him only to complain about their presence. This behavior underscores the Jekyll and Hyde transformation many alcoholics experience, becoming dangerously antisocial despite being, at their core, good people.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 1 AA session, Wayne explores the nature of the real alcoholic, someone who, once they start drinking, loses all control. He describes how this person may begin as a moderate drinker but eventually spirals into absurd and tragic behavior.“One time, I came to at 2 o’clock in the morning, sitting in a Safeway parking lot, fixing my car stereo with no recollection of how I got there. I had to call someone because I didn’t know where I was. That’s a true story.”Wayne shares his own experience, illustrating the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde transformation that defines the real alcoholic. He emphasizes that for some, it’s not just about being mildly intoxicated—it’s about being constantly, insanely drunk. His story serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and destructive nature of alcoholism.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join us as Denise McDonald reflects on her early experiences attending AA meetings in the ‘Step 1 Denise Lived Experience Series’. In this episode, Denise shares how attending meetings daily made her feel safe and understood. She recalls a woman who introduced herself as a “grateful recovered alcoholic,” a concept Denise initially couldn’t understand. Denise explains how, in those early days, she never introduced herself as an alcoholic and preferred to simply listen, quietly absorbing the stories around her.Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous is about admitting powerlessness, and Denise’s experience highlights the importance of being in a space where people share common struggles, even when she wasn’t ready to speak out herself. Her story is a reminder that early recovery is a time for reflection, listening, and gradual acceptance.To support and learn from journeys like Denise’s, please like, comment, and share.

Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 1 AA session, Wayne addresses the emotional complexities that arise in recovery, especially when dealing with loved ones. He reflects on how emotions like embarrassment can make us treat those closest to us more harshly, often leading to isolation and shame.“But the ex-problem drinker who has found this solution, who is properly armed with the facts about himself, can generally win the entire confidence of another alcoholic in a few hours.”Wayne highlights the importance of shared experience in building trust and connection, reminding us that understanding and empathy are key to supporting others on their journey to recovery.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 12 AA session, Joe addresses the profound truth that recovery is not a solo journey. He shares the importance of companionship in the process, promising that although the road may be tough, no one has to walk it alone.“Have any of you been told you never have to feel this way again if you don’t want to? How many of you found out you were lied to? You’re going to feel worse, but you won’t have to feel that way alone. And if you want to get well, I’ll walk with you while you do.”Joe also reminds us that sometimes our message isn’t received right away. If someone isn’t ready to accept help, we may need to step back and let them experience their own struggles until they’re ready. As Joe reflects, even during the darkest times, the words of recovery stay with us, waiting for the right moment to take root.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

In this episode, Denise shares her uncertainty around the concept of God and how it impacted her journey through the steps. Feeling lost and unsure about how to proceed, she reached out to a woman with 35 years of sobriety, someone who had been in the back of her mind for a while. Despite her doubts, she made the call, unsure of how sponsorship worked but knowing she needed help. To her relief, the woman kindly accepted, marking a turning point in Denise’s journey.Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous is about admitting powerlessness and reaching out for support.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe tackles the tough reality of addiction and the necessity of belief in recovery. Speaking to both believers and non-believers, Joe recalls that half of the original fellowship were atheists or agnostics, yet they still found a path to recovery. He challenges those in denial to recognize that if they still believe they can control their addiction, they are wasting valuable time.“The truth is, it’s not my job to convince anyone that they need this program. They have to come to that realization themselves. But if they are truly afflicted, they must understand that there’s little chance of recovery without embracing the program fully. Self-searching, leveling of pride, and confession of shortcomings—these things only happen once they see the need for it.”Joe underscores the importance of acknowledging one’s powerlessness and the critical need for help. His insights remind us that the work of recovery is not just about the program but also about the humility to accept that we can’t do it alone.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe dives into the mysterious and miraculous nature of recovery, emphasizing that the power behind it is far greater than any one person can comprehend.“I don’t tell them how that was accomplished. Why? Because if the truth were told, I have no earthly idea how that was accomplished. Anybody here? Anyone like me? Used every day, no matter what. Got arrested, got thrown down, overdosed, tied up, came to out of a coma. Any of you? Who am I talking to? Where’s my peeps? Then one day, pow, that never happened again. Now, what in that says what Joe did to do that? It’s above my pay grade to talk about how that was accomplished. I can tell you all about who accomplished it. Does that make sense? And that’s my job, but I’m going to need them to ask me before I hit them with that kind of power.”Joe highlights the importance of recognizing the true source of recovery and the humility needed to share this power with others. His insights remind us that the transformation in recovery is not something we control but something we experience through the grace of a higher power.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 reflects on the story of Jim, a successful businessman who started drinking later in life and eventually lost everything, including his car dealership, due to his alcoholism. Forced to work for the dealership he once owned, Jim’s story is a powerful reminder of the relentless nature of the disease and the importance of Step 12 in recovery.“Let’s use Jim the car guy because he seems to me to be one of the most relatable. This is a guy that was fairly successful in business and did not start drinking at all, much less seriously, until later in life. But when he started, he didn’t stop, and he lost his dealership due to his drinking. So he found himself having to go to work for the dealership he once owned.”Joe uses Jim’s story to highlight the importance of humility, service, and maintaining spiritual growth in recovery. The session delves into the practical applications of Step 12 and how carrying the message can be a life-saving endeavor, not just for others, but for ourselves.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 us as Denise McDonald shares a deeply personal moment in the ‘Step 1 Denise Lived Experience Series’. In this episode, Denise reflects on a restless night while staying with her grandmother. Feeling at a breaking point, she prayed, asking God to keep her from leaving the house that night, knowing that if she did, it could be the end. To her surprise, she stayed, and that moment of surrender marked the beginning of something profound. What was even more significant was the promise she made to her son—to attend his choir concert after years of absence—a promise that held deep meaning for both of them.Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous is about admitting powerlessness and recognizing the need for help from a Higher Power. Denise’s story shows how surrendering to faith, even in small moments, can bring about life-changing results.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe highlights the unique power of shared experience in connecting with and helping others.“Then it says you can secure their confidence when others fail. Why? I’ve been where they’ve been, I’ve felt how they feel. I’m not talking to them about theories and I’m not talking to them about advanced degrees that taught me about the nature of addictive disorder. My advanced degrees came from behind dumpsters when I can find them. Okay, so you can help when no one else can. You can secure their confidence when others fail.”The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous emphasizes that our personal experiences are invaluable tools in helping others achieve sobriety. This session explores how shared struggles and victories build trust and foster deeper connections, enabling us to support others in their recovery journey effectively.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 and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe delves into the hopelessness that many face in their struggle with addiction and the impact of the queer mental conditions surrounding that first drink.“But begin to dwell on the hopelessness of your own condition and the struggle you went through from the time you first got introduced to it. So show him from your own experience how the queer mental conditions surrounding that first drink prevent normal functioning of the willpower. What I am saying is when I’m not spiritually fit and I hear people say, ‘Man, what a tough day, I’m going to go out and have a few, let off some steam.’ My mind says, ‘I had a tough day. Why can’t I go have a few and let off some steam?’”The Big Book emphasizes the importance of recognizing these mental triggers and the necessity of staying spiritually fit. Joe highlights how sharing personal experiences of these struggles with others can provide powerful insights into overcoming addiction.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 episode, Denise shares how a visit to a family home, filled with uneasy tension and old habits, tested her recovery journey. Faced with a standoffish reception and a house filled with alcohol and drugs, Denise reflects on her anxiety and fears about being judged as an outsider for not partaking. Despite her fears, she stayed true to her recovery, a powerful demonstration of the commitment to the first step in recovery.Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous is about admitting powerlessness over alcohol and recognizing the need to take a stand, even in uncomfortable or triggering situations. Denise’s story serves as a reminder that recovery means standing strong, even when old environments and temptations try to pull us back. Her journey highlights the courage it takes to say “no” in challenging moments and the power of self-awareness that Step 1 offers.To support and learn from journeys like Denise’s, please like, comment, and share.

In this session focused on Step 12 AA, Joe introduces newcomers to the unique approach taken in these meetings, emphasizing the importance of following the instructions directly from the Big Book.“So first of all, welcome, and second, I’ll just warn you in advance we’re not like most fellowship meetings that you may have been to in the past. We are different because we intend to be different. What we do is we take a look at the suggested instruction for a step or so a week directly out of this book, and we use this book in 12-step recovery. 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. So what we do is exactly like they describe in their forward: show others precisely how we recovered is the main purpose of the book.”Joe highlights the significance of working directly from the Big Book, showcasing the transformative power of following its precise instructions.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe shares a profound experience of encountering a spiritual guide sent by a higher power, illustrating how divine intervention plays a critical role in recovery.“And he bore witness in such a way my mind couldn’t keep up but my spirit was leaping. And I knew if that man could tell me what he was telling me that I’d never be the same. And I asked him to, and he did, and I haven’t spent a lot of years ago. Talked to you a little bit about him a few weeks ago. I told you I asked him if he ever went back to that detox where he found me. Many months later, he said, ‘I’ve never been back there. I’ve never seen the guy that asked me to go again. God sent me there for you, Joe.’”This testimony exemplifies the transformative power of spiritual encounters in the journey of recovery. Joe emphasizes that these experiences are not just coincidences but are divinely orchestrated moments that guide us towards lasting 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 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 examines the story of Jim, a once-successful businessman who lost everything to alcoholism. Through Jim’s experience, we explore how addiction can gradually erode one’s career and the painful reality of having to accept lesser roles in life.“So let’s test the theory. Let’s use Jim the car guy because he seems to me to be one of the most relatable. This is a guy that was fairly successful in business and did not start drinking much, let alone seriously, until later in life. But when he started, he didn’t stop, and he lost his dealership due to his drinking. So he found himself having to go to work for the dealership he once owned. How many of you did really well in the business world or in whatever your career field was? But then, as your addiction took on greater proportions, you found yourself having to take lesser and lesser jobs just to get by?”Joe discusses how addiction can turn lives upside down, pushing individuals from positions of success to struggling just to get by. The session highlights the importance of addressing addiction early and the power of recovery in rebuilding one’s 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.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe underscores the critical role of service in maintaining sobriety and highlights the importance of carrying the message to others.“It works when other activities fail, not if they fail. So I think we’ve got to call to people’s attention: if you’re not intending to serve, why go through all the trouble of arming yourself with the facts about yourself? If you said you turned your life and your will over to the care of this power, then why are you not serving this power? And the service of this power requires intimate interaction with his people who need his restoration. Does that make sense? Okay. So then it says this is our 12th suggestion, and then the 12th suggestion follows: Carry this message to other alcoholics. So carry what message? Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. You agree with him?”The Big Book emphasizes that service to others is fundamental to maintaining sobriety. Joe’s discussion delves into the essence of Step 12, encouraging us to actively engage in carrying the message to others as a vital part of our own recovery. The power lies in serving and helping others, ensuring our own spiritual growth and freedom from the chains of addiction.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 and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe emphasizes the importance of applying the principles of the program into real-world actions.“Because this is their testimony of being restored from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. And when we start adding our own personal spin to it, that’s fine—that’s for our personal testimony—but as far as how recovery works, this is the model. Does that make sense? So tonight, we’re in Step 12, so we’re going to put it all into action. They warned us last week right at the end: Faith without works is dead. And so then they lead us right into being the hands and feet of this power that we’ve discovered within us.”Joe discusses how Step 12 brings all the steps together, urging us to actively serve others and live out the principles of recovery in our daily lives. By becoming the hands and feet of this newfound power, we truly embody the spirit of the 12 steps.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 and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe discusses the transformative power of service and the importance of placing others’ welfare ahead of your own.“Make it plain he’s under no obligation to you, that you hope only that he’ll try and help other alcoholics when he escapes his own difficulties. Why do I hope that for him? He may, but more importantly, what life he has will actually be lived. If you’ll just commit to serve and continue to serve, you’ll find out that you indeed are freer and freer and more empowered as you go.”Joe emphasizes how helping others can lead to personal freedom and empowerment. By committing to serve, we discover that our own journey to freedom is intertwined with the service we provide to others. This powerful session reminds us that the more we give, the more we grow, and that true freedom comes from selfless action.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.

By acknowledging his role in these situations and taking responsibility for his part, he was able to experience a profound unburdening, which he describes as happening over just a few days. His story emphasizes the transformative power of true self-examination and the spiritual clarity that comes from making a fearless moral inventory.This episode sheds light on the deep emotional work that accompanies Step 4 and offers valuable insights into how recovery can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe emphasizes the importance of genuine experience in sharing the 12-step message.“So how would I do that? What would the first step of me telling them how I made a self-appraisal be? Probably having made a self-appraisal, wouldn’t it? I can’t talk to them about the spiritual awakening promised as the result of these steps unless I have experienced the spiritual awakening. That doesn’t mean you can’t experience a spiritual awakening not as a result of these steps and talk about it all you want, but don’t portray yourself as a 12-stepper then. Right? Does it make sense? I know people get radically delivered; I meet them all the time. But stay out of our 12-step room.”Joe discusses how living the steps authentically is crucial to being able to effectively share the message with others.

Join Joe McDonald as he expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe delves into the profound impact of encountering a higher power in the journey from self-loathing to recovery.“I speak to you personally about the self-hatred, the self-loathing, the guilt, shame, and remorse that I experienced every day of my life that I tried to extinguish with poisonous substances. And I thought there was no end to that, and I gave up on ever trying to stop because I figured out if I didn’t keep trying to stop, I couldn’t fail anymore. And then one day, I encountered this power, and I’ve never been the same.”Through Joe’s experience, we see how encountering a higher power can transform even the most despairing life. This discussion emphasizes that no matter how deep the self-hatred, there is hope, and through the principles of AA, recovery is possible. The journey to freedom from addiction begins with recognizing the power within.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 and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe highlights the profound experience of watching people recover, helping others, and seeing loneliness vanish.“All right, so to watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends—this is an experience you must not miss. So they told us everything we were going to see but then described the interaction as an experience you must not miss. Well, do you think they did that by accident? How many of you have discovered there’s more to the experience of redemption than just what we see with these eyes? We know things about them that we couldn’t know any other way than the oneness that we share, right? All right. We know you’ll not want to miss it. Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot of our lives.”The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous emphasizes the deep sense of connection and purpose that comes from helping others and growing in fellowship.

In this profound episode, Wayne recounts a transformative experience where, in an instant, his longstanding desires to engage in substance use were eradicated. He attributes this sudden change to a small act of faith—simply pulling into a parking spot—which he believes allowed the full power of a higher power to resonate within him, cleansing him of his compulsions.Wayne describes how this moment underscored the power of spiritual surrender, as outlined in Step 3 of Alcoholics Anonymous. He explains how relinquishing control and allowing faith to guide him led to a miraculous release from the obsessions that had dominated his life. This narrative is not just about the cessation of substance use but about the overwhelming sense of freedom and clarity that follows when one truly embraces the principles of recovery.This episode offers deep insights into the unexpected ways recovery can manifest and emphasizes the role of faith in achieving profound personal transformations. Wayne’s story is a compelling testament to the idea that when we open ourselves up to help, profound change can occur in the blink of an eye.To support and learn from journeys like Wayne’s, please like, comment, and share.

In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe discusses the importance of maintaining frequent contact with newcomers and each other, emphasizing the bright spots these connections bring into our lives.“Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot of our lives. Perhaps you’re not acquainted with any drinkers who want to recover. Do you think that’s true in Phoenix, Arizona today? We probably know plenty of people who want to recover. We may not think of them as people who want to recover based on their behavior. How many of you have been a person in places of recovery who didn’t really want to recover?”The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous emphasizes the significance of fellowship and service in maintaining sobriety. Joe explores how connecting with others in recovery not only supports them but also strengthens our own journey. Frequent contact with newcomers serves as a vital part of the recovery process, ensuring we stay engaged, connected, and committed to the path of 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 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe emphasizes the importance of approaching others with true humility and understanding the power of identity.“We sometimes are more comfortable talking about ourselves in disparaging terms because somehow we feel it’s more humble. It’s not because the person hearing us can only hear us describing them. So when I say things like I was a piece of crap and I was this and I was that, they’re sitting there thinking, you mean like me? So I need people to know their identity when they approach—who you are and whose you are—so that when you start talking to them about how bad they feel about where they found themselves, they understand that at their best and at their worst, they’re a child of the living God. And the fact is demonstrated by right where they are, in the pit of their disorder.”Joe’s insights shed light on the significance of acknowledging our divine identity, even in our darkest moments, and how recognizing this can be a powerful tool in helping others recover.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 and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe discusses the crucial role of helping others as the foundation stone of recovery. He emphasizes that recovery built on anything less than stone is insufficient.“They talked about housing them, giving them money, doing those types of things. But be sure you’re doing the right thing if you assume them. How do I make sure I’m doing the right thing? Yeah, by now I’m in prayer and meditation, hopefully on a more regular basis as I go through my day. So I know what they need—not necessarily what they want—what they need, yes. Helping others is the foundation stone of your recovery. Now they’re speaking directly to me, perhaps to you. Do I want a recovery that has a foundation of anything less than stone? I do not. So that’s how seriously I have to take your life because your life’s been placed in my hands for a moment to access this solution that inhabits us both, yes. A kindly act once in a while isn’t enough. Was it a kindly hit once in a while ever enough? No.”Joe explores the importance of consistent action in supporting others as a cornerstone of lasting recovery. He encourages reflection on the seriousness of our role in helping others, emphasizing that occasional acts of kindness are not sufficient for a solid recovery foundation.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 us as Wayne Giles delves deep into the nuances of control addiction in our ‘Step 3 Wayne Lived Experience Series.’ In this episode, Wayne candidly shares his personal battles with trying to control his environment—an endeavor that goes beyond mere substance abuse. He explores how this need for control is not just a side effect but the core of his challenges, emphasizing that the real issue lies in his ‘control addiction.’Wayne discusses how his attempts to ‘arrange the lights, the scenery, and the ballet’ of his life reflect a broader struggle faced by many in recovery. This metaphor illustrates the futile efforts to manage life’s variables that ultimately lead to chaos and suffering. By confronting his desire for control, Wayne highlights a critical step in the recovery process: recognizing that drugs and alcohol are symptoms of a deeper malady.Through his introspection, Wayne encourages viewers to examine their own lives, to identify and address the underlying compulsions that drive their behaviors. This powerful narrative fosters a better understanding of how relinquishing control can lead to genuine healing and freedom.To support and learn from journeys like Wayne’s, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he 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 on Step 12 AA, Joe emphasizes the importance of approaching alcoholics with humility, understanding, and fellowship, rather than with a sense of moral superiority.“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 any 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 if he wants to get well, you’ll do anything to help. That’s the promise we need. Have any of you been told you never have to feel this way again if you don’t want to? How many of you found out you were lied to? You’re going to feel worse, but you won’t have to feel that way alone. And if you want to get well, I’ll walk with you while you do.”This session explores the true meaning of fellowship and support in recovery. Joe highlights the importance of offering help without judgment, extending a hand of friendship, and walking the recovery journey together.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 and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session on Step 12 AA, Joe highlights the critical importance of service work and its role in maintaining sobriety.“It says practical experience shows that nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail. How many of you can hear some promise in that? What’s the promise? Anybody hear any brighter promises than that? That’s nonetheless a promise, but they also told us that intensive work with other alcoholics ensures immunity. And then they promised us something else which is something of a warning.”The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous emphasizes that helping others is key to maintaining one’s own sobriety. This session explores how intensive work with other alcoholics offers a solid foundation for lasting recovery. By engaging in this service, not only do we help others, but we also reinforce our own commitment to sobriety, ensuring that we stay on the path of 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 us as Wayne Giles shares a pivotal spiritual experience in his recovery journey during our ‘Step 2 Wayne Lived Experience Series.’ This episode captures a significant moment while Wayne was driving and deeply engaged in prayer, a routine that spanned six months. He reflects on a transformative realization that dawned on him—not during his third step commitment, but in a moment of profound clarity on the road. Wayne narrates how he questioned God about the sudden change in his life, and the answer came to him as a clear, comforting thought: it wasn’t merely about surrendering his will and his life; it was about his newfound belief in God’s love for him, strong enough to guide his recovery.This breakthrough wasn’t about the mechanics of the steps but about the emotional and spiritual acceptance of being loved and cared for by a higher power. Wayne’s story emphasizes the importance of faith and the personal nature of spiritual experiences in recovery, aligning with the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous which advocate for a personal understanding and relationship with a higher power.

Join Joe McDonald as he expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving deep into Step 12 AA. In this session, Joe emphasizes the power of shared experiences and the profound impact of speaking life into others.“And so exactly what happened to me is I was laying there dead with not enough sense to stay dead and someone came and spoke life into me, and it changed me forever. And now I do everything within my power to tell everyone within the sound of my voice that it’s possible for you, what happened for me, because you wouldn’t be here if it were not. Because we’re not in some divine accident. We are absolutely in divine intention here.”Joe’s message highlights the transformative power of recovery and the importance of recognizing the divine intention in our lives. This session reminds us that the healing we experience can and should be passed on to others, reinforcing the spiritual principles that guide us through the 12 steps.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, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session, Joe discusses the power of sharing both the experience of hopelessness and the solution that comes from a spiritual awakening.“I can talk to them about hopelessness because I know of hopelessness. And I can talk to you about a solution because I’m inhabited by one. In fact, the solution that inhabits me has directed me to you. And my job, if you’ll have it, is to wake up to that fact. Yes. So you will soon have your friend admitting he has many if not all the traits of an alcoholic. So it’s not always an all-spiritual conversation, is it? Because we meet them and they’re pretty tore up. And we talk about all kinds of worldly discomfort.”Joe emphasizes the importance of connecting on a human level while gently guiding someone toward the spiritual solution that will lead them to recovery. This approach aligns with the principles of Step 12 AA, focusing on carrying the message to those who still suffer.Join us as Joe McDonald 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 expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the realities of Step 12 AA. In this session, Joe addresses the common excuses that often surface when people place their recovery on a service plane rather than truly relying on God.“The minute we put our work on a service plane, the alcoholic commences to rely upon our assistance rather than upon God. He clamors for this or that, claiming he cannot master alcohol until his material needs are cared for. Is that true for you? You were not able to get cleaned up until all your life was perfect, then it’s complete nonsense, isn’t it? We got to call that. As peers, we get to call that. Well, look, I’ll never be able to… If she doesn’t come back and I don’t get my job back, I can’t stop. Bullshit. You drank through lots of jobs. You drank through lots of wives and a couple of boyfriends if I’m not mistaken. You don’t know we know that about each other. Job or no job, wife or no wife.”Joe highlights the importance of accountability in recovery, urging participants to focus on the true source of strength rather than external circumstances.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the power of sharing hope through personal experience in Step 12 AA. In this session, Joe reflects on the value of speaking from a place of understanding when offering a solution to those suffering from alcoholism.“We all know many, many stories. Those of us in this game know more than we want to. Yes, doctors are rightly loath to tell alcoholic patients the whole story unless it’ll serve some good purpose, but you may talk to him about the hopelessness of alcoholism because you offer a solution. I can talk to them about hopelessness because I know of hopelessness. And I can talk to you about a solution because I’m inhabited by one.”Joe highlights the importance of connecting with others by sharing lived experiences. By speaking from the heart and offering genuine solutions, we can help others find the hope they may have lost.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.

Wayne describes how he meticulously prepared a list of aspects of his life he was ready to surrender to a higher power and the transformative act of praying over this list.Wayne shares, ‘As I prayed the Third Step prayer, it was as if a weight was lifted from my shoulders. I felt a clarity and a peace I hadn’t known before, confirming the presence of a greater power at work in my life.’ This turning point was not just about surrender but about embracing the spiritual tools provided through AA to fundamentally change his approach to life and recovery.Through this personal story, Wayne illuminates the profound impact that faith and surrender can have on someone grappling with addiction. It’s a testament to the power of spiritual practices in the recovery process, offering hope and guidance to others on similar paths.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving deep into the transformative power of service in Step 12 AA. In this session, Joe emphasizes the vital role that carrying the message plays not just for the person receiving it, but for the one delivering it as well.“The healing comes from using it for a higher purpose. So it’s important for him to realize that your attempt to pass this on to him plays a vital role in your own recovery. What do they mean by vital? Yeah, it sounds pretty important, doesn’t it? When they talk about a vital organ, it’s not like, ‘Yeah, it’s not for me.’ If you want to live, then you’re going to have to act like you’re living. You have to speak life into everyone you encounter. That’s the condition. So actually, he may be helping you more than you’re helping him. How many of you have learned that? Make it plain he’s under no obligation to you, that you hope only that he’ll try and help other alcoholics when he escapes his own difficulties.”Joe explores the importance of service, explaining that the act of helping others not only strengthens one’s recovery but is essential for spiritual growth. The journey of Step 12 is about giving back, and through this, we receive even greater healing.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 expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the significance of spiritual action in Steps 10 & 11 AA. In this session, Joe shares a personal experience that highlights the importance of being in tune with spiritual direction and the tangible impact it can have on our lives and those around us.“I didn’t wake me up; I just woke up and knew to send that particular scripture. He called me within 2 minutes—it’s 2 in the morning—and says, ‘Thank you, Dad just passed.’ So what I’m telling you is it’s real, it’s tangible, and it required action. Does that make sense? And there’s more of that that happens. I get all kinds of promises. I don’t want to go there, but so do you, and I don’t want you to miss it. Make sense? So we consider our plans for the day before we begin.”Joe emphasizes the importance of recognizing and responding to spiritual prompts, highlighting how these moments can profoundly impact our journey.

Join us as Wayne Giles poignantly recounts the evolution of his spiritual journey in this compelling segment of the ‘Step 2 Wayne Lived Experience Series.’ Through his narrative, Wayne describes multiple instances of reaching out to a higher power during his most challenging times—whether on the cold floors of jail cells, in detox units, or amidst the desolation of a crack house. Each plea was an earnest attempt to surrender his will and his life to the care of God as he understood Him. Over a transformative six-month period, Wayne’s spiritual practice deepened, moving beyond mere moments of desperation to become a sustained, daily commitment. This video offers a profound exploration of how persistent faith and a continuous relationship with a higher power can fundamentally alter the course of recovery, resonating with the core principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. Wayne’s story is not just about the struggles of addiction but about the powerful moments of clarity and spiritual awakening that define and reinforce the journey toward healing and sobriety.

Join Joe McDonald as he expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the powerful realization that comes from Steps 10 & 11 AA. In this session, Joe discusses how we suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves, highlighting the extravagant promises that are fulfilled through this journey.“So we’ll suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. How many of you have had that sudden realization? Like I just got delivered, and I don’t even remember asking. But here I am. Okay, so then it says, are these extravagant promises? We think not, but the truth is they are. They’re very extravagant. Well, we serve an extravagant power. And the reason they put that there is all of us are doubting when somebody says this is going to happen for you because it happened for me, and I was sent to you to tell you what was done for me.”Joe emphasizes that the promises of recovery, though they may seem extravagant, are indeed real and achievable. This session encourages viewers to trust in the process and recognize the power that is working within them, beyond their own efforts.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 expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the critical practice of ongoing self-awareness in Steps 10 & 11 AA. In this session, Joe explores the necessity of continuing to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear, not only in others but within ourselves.“So it should continue for our lifetime—continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. If I’m going to continue, when did I start? And this is a trick question, so think about it. They’re not talking about personal inventory. They’re telling me now to watch. When did I learn to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear? Yeah, from the first conscious time on earth, I could spot selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear in you good. But what I did not know is I was seeing you through the lens of my thoughts. So what I’m going to do if I’m going to be a good servant is I’ve got to discipline my thoughts so I’m not judging you. So I’m going to continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear.”The Big Book reminds us that the key to a successful recovery journey is continuous growth and vigilance. This process of self-examination is a lifelong commitment, one that requires constant discipline of our thoughts and emotions. As we grow in the spirit, we learn to recognize our own defects and make course corrections as needed.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 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 emphasizes the importance of maintaining a daily reprieve from alcohol through spiritual conditioning.“We’re headed for trouble if we do. For alcohol is a subtle foe. I may have had that experience, maybe not with alcohol but with something. Kind of sneaks up on us, doesn’t it? Then I think, well, I’ve got a plan; I’m going to limit it. We’re not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.”This reflection highlights the critical importance of vigilance in the recovery process. As the Big Book states, “It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe.” The daily reprieve is maintained not by willpower alone, but by continuous spiritual growth. The steps keep us connected to that higher power, ensuring that our lives remain manageable and our sobriety sustainable.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.
