Position of Neutrality

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the spiritual depth and transformative power of Steps 6 and 7 AA. Joe emphasizes the importance of asking for the power to change and growing in conscious relation with a higher power throughout the day.“Because you had no power to behave any other way. You want power to behave another way? You’re going to have to ask and grow in conscious relation all day, every day, as I go along because that’s when the attacks come. Any of you notice that? So it says, when ready, we say something like this: ‘My creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength as I go out from here to do your bidding.’”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the crucial practice of seeking strength and guidance through honest prayer, helping individuals on their journey to 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 reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the essence of selflessness and the importance of embracing a state of being absent of self in Steps 5, 6, and 7 AA. Joe highlights the central challenge of the human condition—our inability to think our way into a state of being, emphasizing that true beingness comes from recognizing our part in a greater whole.“Main problem centers in the mind, right? And so one of the things that you cannot do as a human but we still desperately want to believe we can is we can’t think our way into a state of being. Beingness is absent self. My being knows I’m part of a greater whole. That’s why when you experience the power, I can tell you I felt it too. But I can’t do that when I’m aware of me; I can only do that when I’m aware of him. So the fact is I can’t do it at all. Does that make sense? And if you don’t believe me, think about the most selfless, humble thing you ever did.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the power of selflessness and the spiritual journey towards becoming part of a greater whole, as outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.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 profound experience of honest prayer and the spiritual journey of Steps 5, 6, and 7 AA. Joe reflects on the significance of acknowledging our true selves before God and the importance of building a solid foundation for recovery.“That’s the first honest prayer I ever said because I knew now that God knew me even when I didn’t know me. And he met me right where I was. I didn’t have to prep. You know what my prep was? I got dead. All right, so taking this book down from our shelf, we turn to the page which contains the 12 steps. Carefully reading the first 5 proposals, we ask if we’ve omitted anything, for we’re building an arch through which we shall walk a free man at last. Is our work solid so far? Are the stones properly in place? Have we skimped on the cement put into the foundation?”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the importance of honesty, preparation, and the thoroughness required to build a lasting 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.

Join us as we explore Bill’s story, a poignant reflection on the crushing power of addiction. Bill realized that his addiction had become an overwhelming necessity, a routine he couldn’t control despite his best efforts. His story speaks to the deep powerlessness felt when addiction takes over, where actions consistently contradict true desires. This personal struggle resonates with many in recovery, reminding us that acknowledging our powerlessness is the first step toward freedom.Bill’s realization wasn’t just about the substances themselves but the deeper truth that his life had spiraled beyond his control. As we dive into his journey, we see a turning point where acceptance leads to the possibility of real change. This transformative moment echoes the wisdom of Step 1 in Alcoholics Anonymous, where we admit we are powerless over alcohol—and our lives have become unmanageable. For those on their recovery journey, Bill’s experience offers hope that even in the darkest times, recovery is possible with the right support and guidance.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the importance of choosing the right person to confide in during Steps 5, 6, and 7 AA. Joe explores the struggle many face when deciding who to trust with their intimate and confidential admissions and emphasizes the significance of spiritual awareness in these moments.“So rightly and naturally, we think well before we choose the person or persons with whom to take this intimate and confidential step. How many of you struggled with who to confide in? A lot of us do from one time to another. How many of you, when you finally met who to confide in, were blurting it out before you even had a conscious thought? Yeah, a lot of times that’s one of the first spiritual awarenesses—you just all of a sudden are telling something you didn’t expect to hear coming out of you. Those of us belonging to a religious denomination which requires confession must and, of course, will want to go to the properly appointed authority whose duty it is to receive it. So they’re not trying to get in the way of your religious practice. If you have a religious practice that requires confession, by all means, go to the confessional. However, there’s a caution.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the careful consideration needed in selecting a confidant and the spiritual insights that often accompany this step.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 Bill’s story. Reflecting on the struggles faced by those battling addiction, Joe emphasizes the value of peer testimony over medical opinions.Joe shares, “Sometimes I dally and I like to spend time in Bill’s story and stay away from the doctor’s opinion every once in a while. So we can focus on an experience. If that’s alright with you. How many of you had doctors give you an opinion that you may have been a little persuasive on how you got that opinion and maybe shaded the truth a little bit? How many of you followed their advice to the letter? Most of us have not. So sometimes testimony from peers is more persuasive. Not telling you what you should do but here’s what I did. This is what I experienced as a result.”For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the crucial moments of readiness and personal accountability in Steps 5, 6, and 7 AA. Joe emphasizes the importance of recognizing when we are truly ready to move forward in our recovery journey and how to prepare ourselves through prayer and introspection.“And what he said to me is, how do you feel? And I said, I don’t feel safe. And he said, if you don’t feel safe, you’re not safe. What are you ready to do next? He did me a favor. So just so you know, sometimes we just got to get checked, right? All right, so if that is so, this step may be postponed only, however, if we hold ourselves in complete readiness to go through it at the first opportunity. So now it’s back to your personal accountability. Okay, I’m not ready to do this here in this situation, but I am ready when the situation presents itself. And so now I’m ready through prayer to prep for how I’m going to recognize that moment. Yes, okay. So we say this because we’re very anxious that we talk to the right person. Notice I’m not making any of this up. I’m trying to help unpack it for you.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the process of preparing for crucial steps in recovery, emphasizing the importance of readiness and prayerful preparation.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 we delve deeper into Bill’s story, an eye-opening journey that mirrors the struggles faced by many in the grip of addiction. Bill’s realization that his addiction had become an overwhelming necessity highlights the helplessness and powerlessness many of us feel when trapped in the cycle of substance abuse. As we reflect on Bill’s path, we see that when we are powerless over substances, we are also powerless over our circumstances. Yet, even in the darkest moments, Bill discovered a glimmer of hope—a compassionate doctor who recognized the severity of his illness and the need for a new approach to recovery. This is a pivotal moment of transformation, offering insight into the path to freedom.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, guiding us through the transformative journey of Steps 5, 6, and 7 AA. Joe explains how to delve deeper into Chapter 6, “Into Action,” emphasizing the importance of introspection and finding personal meaning in the text.“So, Chapter 6, ‘Into Action,’ they ask us somewhat of a question, it looks like to me. And I know that because there’s a question mark after it. The way you find your experience in this book is you turn every statement into a question and ask yourself what it means to you. And the ones particularly you want to pay attention to are the ones where they really want you to be introspective, and you’ll recognize them. There’s a question mark after. Well, a lot of people have never been shown how to read this book.”Joe’s discussion highlights the need for a thoughtful and reflective approach to reading the Big Book, encouraging viewers to engage with the text on a personal level.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, guiding us through the transformative journey of Steps 5, 6, and 7. Joe delves into the vital importance of admitting our wrongs, becoming entirely ready for change, and humbly asking for the removal of our shortcomings.“But it’s obscured by calamity, pomp, and worship. And then, as I go along, if I don’t get into this manner of living, once again I’m right back where I found myself. Hence the earnestness to really embrace the manner of living. I need to keep bringing that instead of harboring it and blocking me off from the Spirit. Now that I know that’s all tangible and sensory and real and I need it—it is my ease and comfort so I don’t have to go out in the world to get it.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the necessity of each step in achieving a deeper spiritual awakening and ongoing personal growth.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the concept of truth as the key to the future and the importance of gaining a new perspective in recovery. Joe discusses how the truth revealed in our inventory holds the key to our future.“So we turn back to the list for it held the key to the future. So what’s the key to the future? This is a search for the truth, so the truth is the key. That makes sense, that should resonate well with you, those of you who are students of biblical teaching as well, shouldn’t offend anybody. We were prepared to look at it from an entirely different angle. If lack of perspective is my problem, then a different angle is a portion of the solution. Correct? All right, so we began to see that the world and its people really dominated us. How many of you got yourself all the way up to where you were in charge of something and found out how little power you had to make people do what you wanted them to do?”Joe emphasizes the importance of truth and perspective in the recovery journey.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the profound realization of self-imposed limitations and the critical importance of addressing resentment in recovery. Joe discusses the fatal nature of harboring resentment and its impact on spiritual growth and sobriety.“So oftentimes it happens that we live our life in chains and we never even know we hold the key. So they’ve known it for a long time about us. Okay, but with the alcoholic whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience, this business of resentment is infinitely grave. We found that it’s fatal. For when harboring such feelings, we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the Spirit. The insanity of alcohol returns and we drink again. And with us, to drink is to die. The insanity of alcoholism precedes the drink of alcohol.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the importance of identifying and releasing resentments to maintain a spiritual experience and ensure lasting sobriety.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the transformative journey of recovery and the concept of new beginnings. Joe reflects on the fears of repeating past mistakes and the power of becoming a new creation through the 12-step process.“So they’re talking about my past life. I’ve tried to do things, I got to a certain level, I burned it down with my addiction. Well, if I try that again… Well, let me tell you something. You encounter this power, you embark on this manner of living, you are a new creation. Whatever happened before isn’t necessarily happening again. And if it does, it’s for purpose. Sometimes we think we’re ready. I came in homeless. Homeless. No home. I wasn’t raised to be that. It didn’t come naturally to me. And things didn’t get good for a long time thereafter.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the hope and renewal that come with embracing recovery and the strength found in becoming a new creation.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, discussing the importance of accepting and embracing our purpose in the recovery journey. Joe addresses the common feelings of frustration and comparison, emphasizing the need to shift our focus to understanding and fulfilling our unique purpose.“Now admit it, we sometimes assume that we’ve gotten rather a crappy assignment, don’t we? We get the why me’s. Or we look at somebody doing more and we think why not me. So I want you to know we’re asking the wrong question. It’s not why me, not even why not me. The question is: Where do you want me to go and what do you want me to do? Because I’m going to be empowered to do what I’m purposed to do.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the significance of aligning with our purpose and the empowerment that comes from fulfilling our unique roles.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the significance of shared experiences and understanding in the recovery journey. Joe emphasizes the value of learning from those who have walked similar paths, particularly for individuals who have faced incarceration or other challenging life experiences.“Why do you think this place was set up the way it was set up? Because people that have had a difficult experience like incarceration are skeptical about people who have book knowledge of it. That doesn’t mean we don’t acknowledge a need for professional help, but if I’m really going to trust somebody, I want someone to walk a mile in my shoes. Right? So we’re supposed to talk about ‘I know I once thought and felt as you do.’ I can’t do that if I didn’t. Not with any credibility. And it’s set up as the same model as this right here.”Joe’s discussion highlights the importance of genuine understanding and empathy in building trust and fostering recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the importance of trusting and relying on a higher power in Step 4 AA. Joe emphasizes the shift from self-reliance to reliance on a power greater than ourselves, a crucial aspect of the recovery journey.“We’re trying to get you reliant on the power within you which is greater than you and then add to that properly align your self-reliance and you’ll do great things. So some of us once had great self-confidence. But it didn’t fully solve the fear problem or any other when it made us cocky. It was worse. Most of us know about that. When we get to thinking that something that was done for us and through us was something we did, we lose access to that power.”Joe highlights the transition to a different basis of living: “So perhaps there’s a better way. We think so, for we’re now on a different basis, the basis of trusting and relying upon God. Those of you that get worked up about God remember we’re talking about power from within.”Joe’s discussion offers 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, exploring the themes of forgiveness and self-reflection in Step 4 AA. Joe discusses the importance of genuine remorse and the belief that a higher power can guide us to better things.“It might, so they’re going to talk about their experience. Some people tell us so, but it’s only a half-truth. It depends on us and our motives. Does that make sense? If we’re sorry for what we’ve done and have the honest desire to let God take us to better things, we believe that we will be forgiven and we’ll have learned our lesson.”Joe emphasizes that true forgiveness comes from understanding who we are and embracing a higher power’s role in our lives. “Notice how it said that we’ll be forgiven. I think you need to understand people talk about well I had to forgive me. No, you don’t. You need to come to believe in the one who does. Because once you know who you are and whose you are, you are an instrument of that forgiveness.”Joe’s discussion offers a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

oin Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the challenges faced during Step 4 AA. Reflecting on common fears and commitment issues, Joe highlights the struggle many have with staying engaged and finishing what they start.“But you were afraid if you left you’d miss something. How many of you didn’t stay faithfully engaged with people because you never really fully committed to them because if you committed to them you might miss something? How many of you started ten projects and finished none?”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.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the importance of finding personal experience in the text, especially during Step 4. Joe emphasizes that the main purpose of the book is to show others precisely how recovery is achieved through personal interpretation and shared spiritual experiences.“It says to show others precisely how we recovered is the main purpose of the book. So my role here is to show you how to find your experience in this book. And I’m going to do that by showing you how I find my experience in the book and encouraging you to have yours. Does that make sense? Do not assume what I’m saying should be your interpretation. That would be false. I’m going to tell you how I find mine. I’ll encourage you to have yours. If it doesn’t apply then move on. But if it does apply we’re guaranteed to share a spiritual experience in this room tonight.”Joe’s discussion underscores the significance of individual interpretation and personal connection to the text, which is crucial for effective recovery and spiritual growth.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, exploring the importance of tolerance, pity, and patience in Step 4. Reflecting on the need for a power greater than ourselves to overcome judgment and be effective in recovery, Joe emphasizes the spiritual practice of asking for divine help to show compassion to others.“And as nobody’s trying to be glib it’s just it requires a power greater than me because when I’m in judgment I’m ineffective. And the only way I’m not going to be in judgment is when I’m taken over by the Spirit. So we ask God. That is a good crowd. You guys can come back over and over. Good. We ask God to help us show them the same tolerance, pity, and patience we would cheerfully grant a sick friend. So I’m asking this power within me to empower me to show them pity and patience that I would show to someone I really was trying to be nice to like me.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the significance of invoking a higher power to develop tolerance and patience, crucial for personal growth and effective recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the true promises of AA and the transformative power of Step 4. Reflecting on common misconceptions and the profound changes that occur through recovery, Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding and experiencing the real promises of the program.“And I kept coming to fellowships and people said, ‘Oh, I got a new car. Oh, the promises are coming true.’ I don’t know what promises they were talking about but it wasn’t AA’s promises. AA’s promises said I was going to lose my fear of economic insecurity. I was going to lose my fears of today, tomorrow, the year after. I was going to lose all these things that kept me in bondage. That’s what it said. It didn’t say I wasn’t going to live in poverty for 15 years. Guess what I outgrew in those 15 years? My fear of economic insecurity. It’s the truth. So don’t sugarcoat it because you don’t know.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the real promises of AA and the necessity of facing and overcoming fears through honest self-assessment.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the significance of personal inventory and self-examination in Step 4. Reflecting on the necessity of addressing underlying causes and conditions, Joe emphasizes the transformative power of thorough self-assessment.“So it says the first step of which is a personal house cleaning. Whoops. Yeah, the first step of which is a personal house cleaning which many of us had never attempted. So how many of you had tried to do anything like an inventory of your life and how you’ve treated people and how you were treated by people before you came into the recovery fellowships? Some of you have. That’s why I ask because some people have. Most of us have never attempted it but some have. So though our decision was a vital and crucial step, it could have little permanent effect unless at once followed by a strenuous effort to face and be rid of the things in ourselves which had been blocking us. Our liquor was but a symptom. So we had to get down to causes and conditions.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the crucial process of personal inventory and the necessity of facing and eliminating internal barriers to recovery.

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 importance of addressing inappropriate responses to trauma in Step 4.“Somebody has to watch how you’re reacting and pay attention to how you’re feeling as you’re unearthing these grievous things that happen to you because you may be smiling talking about how someone repeatedly raped you. I’ve seen it happen. That’s an inappropriate response but that’s how you’ve learned to survive. I need to call to your attention that’s an inappropriate response, not wrong, inappropriate. I’m feeling the weight of the harm that was done to you. Let it go. Let me take it. Because that’s the other thing we do in the spirit. We carry their burdens when necessary.”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 challenges of self-esteem, security, and ambition in Step 4.“Was it our self-esteem, our security, our ambitions, our personal or sex relations which had been interfered with? So we’re asking ourselves that question. You’re doing it in columns. Most of that’s self-explanatory. The self-esteem is how I’d like to think about me. And then our security is what is my being with you say about me; it may be my job, it may be my housing.”Joe recounts personal experiences to illustrate these points: “Any of you ever get evicted because… Let me tell you how I would get evicted. I would have all the rent, but I needed just a little to get a little something something. And then after I had the something something, I realized by golly I can’t pay the rent short.”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, discussing the crucial role of forgiveness in Step 4. Joe emphasizes that forgiveness is for our own benefit, not for others, and highlights the challenges of owning our faults while disregarding others’ actions.“And it may not be comfortable owning that, but forgiveness is not for them anyway. Forgiveness is for you. Does that make sense? Where had we been selfish, dishonest, self-seeking, and frightened? Though a situation had not been entirely our fault, we tried to disregard the other person involved entirely. That’s hard to do. That’s the other reason you want someone to help you, even if you don’t give them a title. To disregard the other person involved entirely when we have deep hurts is complex and probably impossible.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the inner turmoil of holding onto resentments and the freedom that comes with forgiveness, encouraging a deeper look at our own actions.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, addressing the pervasive role of fear in addiction and recovery, a central theme in Step 4. Joe emphasizes the importance of finding a partner to deeply explore these fears and the need for honesty in this transformative step.“A lot of people skip over Step 4, but I would recommend finding someone who wants to do a deep dive with you. Fear, long after the addiction is gone, is going to drive you to stuff you’ll have to make amends for. It will make you uncomfortable in your skin and compel you to make up stories about yourself just to gain approval. None of you have done that? Told somebody you were perfect for them, did a little recon, and told them what they wanted to hear, only for them to find out it wasn’t real? No one’s ever told them how skilled you were and then found out they really wanted you to be able to apply those skills? The fabric of our existence was shot through with it.”Joe’s discussion highlights how fear continues to influence behavior even after addiction and underscores the necessity of confronting these fears 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 reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the critical self-examination required in Step 4. In this session, Joe delves into the concept of self-defeat and the importance of identifying the flaws in our makeup that lead to failure.“So we took stock honestly first we searched out the flaws in our makeup which caused our failure. Being convinced that self manifested in various ways was what had defeated us, we considered its common manifestations. Do you understand when they use words like that that we don’t commonly word what they’re talking about? I think of myself one way. But then I want to impress you or I’m mad at you or something and I act out in a different way that is not how I want to think about myself. That’s when my self manifested based on fear or whatever. So I’m going to have to look at that to see how I ended up in the deplorable condition I ended up.”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the need for honest self-reflection and understanding the various ways self manifests in our actions and decisions.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the common pitfalls of blaming others and the importance of personal accountability in recovery. Reflecting on the tendency to dwell on others’ wrongs, Joe emphasizes the necessity of moving beyond blame to find peace and progress.“So to conclude that others were wrong was as far as most of us ever got. How many of you have lived in that? Just want to point out what about-ism, right? Yeah, I know that was shitty but look what they did. Okay, but it never ends. It never ends and I understand we live in a world full of all kinds of politics and all kinds of whatever but if I try and reside in that world, I find it untenable.”Joe’s discussion highlights the futility of blame and the need for self-examination and responsibility in the recovery journey.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the practical aspects of seeking guidance and strength in recovery. Reflecting on personal experiences, Joe emphasizes the importance of staying conscious and aware of our actions to make better decisions moving forward.“We’re not theorizing; these are facts out of our experience. To sum up about sex, we earnestly pray for the right ideal. An ideal isn’t something I’m going to accomplish today; it’s an idea of how I’d like to behave and how I’d like to comport myself going forward. I may or may not be able to make it in the moment that I’m smitten, but if I’ll stay conscious, I’ll make fewer mistakes and become aware of them sooner. For guidance in each questionable situation, for sanity, and for strength to do the right thing, I keep asking. Just because I know the right thing doesn’t mean I’ll always do it.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of continuous self-awareness and seeking guidance in recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the crucial role of helping others in achieving personal freedom. Reflecting on the struggles many face, Joe emphasizes the importance of shifting focus from self to others to find reprieve from inner turmoil.“If sex is very troublesome, we throw ourselves the harder into helping others. We think of their needs and work for them. This takes us out of ourselves. It quiets the imperious urge when to yield would mean heartache. Guys, whether it’s sex, jobs, or any relationship, if you are struggling and can’t get out of it, go find someone to help. I guarantee you will at least get a reprieve from your own condemnation when you’re using your experience to help another.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the transformative power of altruism and its ability to quiet inner struggles, providing a practical approach to dealing with personal challenges.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the real power needed in recovery—not just the power to avoid picking up, but the power to live a fulfilling life. Reflecting on the deeper purpose of recovery, Joe emphasizes the significance of seeking a higher power to transform our lives.“Power to not pick up? It takes no power to not pick up. Wayne shows them at the clinic he works, ‘Don’t pick that up.’ How much power did that take? None. So we’re not seeking power to not pick up. We’re seeking power to live, which is not that hard for me to admit I don’t have of myself, is it?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the true purpose of recovery and the importance of seeking a higher power to achieve a meaningful life.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the profound experiences and spiritual resonance that occur when engaging in Step 4. Reflecting on the importance of connecting with a higher power, Joe emphasizes the significance of recognizing the spirit within.“And so when Wayne says empower Joe and speak through him, that spirit in me is going to speak to the spirit in you. And when that happens, you’re going to resonate in it. And when that happens, I’m going to know what happened and I’ll try and call it to your attention. Does that make sense? It already happened when I said that for some of you. Who had that experience just then?”Joe’s discussion highlights the transformative power of spiritual connection and the importance of recognizing and embracing these moments of resonance.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the essential aspects of Step 4 AA. In this session, Joe emphasizes the importance of taking action and not dawdling in the step process.“And don’t dawdle in your step process because this is all about launching. So if we’ve been thorough about our personal inventory, we’ve written down a lot. We’ve listed and analyzed our resentments and we’ve begun to comprehend their futility and their fatality. Notice how they’re talking about a new beginning. We’re going to act our way into better thinking because we got to recovery fellowships by trying to think our way into better acting. So you’re going to have to get your feet moving. Your mind will catch up if you’ll just follow the proven trail. Does that make sense?”Joe discusses the necessity of being thorough in the personal inventory and taking decisive steps forward.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the crucial aspects of Step 4 AA. In this session, Joe explores the necessity of encountering power and taking decisive action in the recovery process.“If you’re not launching forward, we’re going to have to go back. Perhaps you haven’t encountered Power, which is a second step thing. Perhaps you haven’t fully conceded you need power, which is a first step thing. Or maybe you think thinking you’re going to get it done is enacting a decision, but no. I never thought myself high; I took action. Right? Even though I can bring to consciousness how it will feel to get on that rocket, how it really feels, I’m going to have to do something. Right? Does that make sense?”Joe discusses the importance of recognizing the need for power and taking concrete steps to move forward.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the essential process of Step 4 AA. In this session, Joe explores the analogy of taking a commercial inventory and applying it to our personal lives, emphasizing the importance of uncovering and addressing personal flaws and damaged goods.“Taking a commercial inventory is a fact-finding and a fact-facing process. It’s an effort to discover the truth about the stock in trade. One object is to disclose damaged or unsaleable goods to get rid of them promptly and without regret. If the owner of the business is to be successful, he cannot fool himself about values. We did exactly the same thing with our lives.”Joe discusses the need to thoroughly examine our lives, much like a business owner would with their inventory, to identify and address any personal shortcomings. “People can tell you they’re going to trick you through the step process, but we have to go in and unpack it to see what exactly the same things were because here’s the deal.”Joe’s insights shed light on the importance of rigorous self-examination and honesty in the recovery process.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the challenging yet transformative journey of Step 4 AA. In this session, Joe emphasizes the significance of embracing honesty and forgiveness while conducting a personal inventory.“They use the words they mean they mean the words they say. It’s not going to be easy to find my own mistakes because I overlook them easily. That’s why I usually have someone with me. We call them mentors or sponsors or whatever. Let’s find your part because their part we can’t do much about, right? This isn’t their inventory. It’s your inventory. Let’s find your part. So I’m going to have to get focused. And then I may find I don’t have a part in the action. But if I’m still holding on to the unforgiveness I still suffer. Does it make sense? So I always have a part. And it may not be comfortable owning that but forgiveness is not for them anyway. Forgiveness is for you. Does that make sense? Where had we been selfish, dishonest, self-seeking, and frightened?”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of taking a fearless and thorough moral inventory to identify personal faults and embrace forgiveness for personal healing.

In this session, Joe emphasizes the importance of setting aside prejudices to access the power to live.“I’m fairly cheesy anyway, the point is when I say ‘God,’ they say ‘Power’ because we don’t want any prejudice blocking somebody from getting access to this power to live that we discover through the process simply because of a bad religious experience they may have had. So we don’t want to equate it to a theology because that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about a relationship with a power to live within you. And so when Wayne says empower Joe and speak through him, that spirit in me is going to speak to the spirit in you.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of being open-minded and setting aside past prejudices to build a meaningful relationship with a higher power.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the transformative journey of Step 4 AA. In this session, Joe emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and taking a fearless moral inventory to aid in the recovery process.“Okay, so we did exactly the same things with our life. So what’s exactly the same thing? It’s a fact-finding and a fact-facing process. So how many of you have found facts but didn’t face facts? So we didn’t follow through on the process yet. And you know that’s you when you say, ‘Well, of course, I behave that way. I’m an addict.’ Well, that means that you have an incurable deadly illness. Oh yeah? Yeah, I’m not that bad yet. Right. Fact-finding, not fact-facing. The other thing it says is it’s an effort to discover the truth about the stock in trade. What’s the stock in trade? My life. The me I’m trying to present and survive through.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of being honest with oneself, facing the facts, and discovering the truth about our lives.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the pivotal moments that define the recovery journey. In this session, Joe discusses the critical turning point in Step 3 AA, where individuals must fully commit to the path of recovery.“So we stood at the turning point. What’s the turning point? I know what happens. I can bring to consciousness right now many years sober that ease and comfort that comes at once. And someone has sat and shared this power with me. I felt that within me. I didn’t know what it was, but I felt it, and they told me what it was. I know that, so that’s the turning point. They’ve already told me half measures are going to avail you nothing. Don’t care what you believe; your experience will change your mind, but you got to stay in the manner of living.”Joe emphasizes the importance of staying committed to the recovery process, regardless of personal beliefs. “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.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the necessity of fully embracing the recovery journey and letting go of old ideas to achieve true transformation.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and transformative experiences of those in recovery. In this session, Joe emphasizes the importance of getting honest and letting go of old ideas to make way for true recovery.“Anyone know what I’m talking about? So I’m going to have to get honest with the fact that of myself I have no solutions. None. I have to be restrained from me to keep me from tearing me apart or others around me. Okay, so some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas, and the result was nil until we let go absolutely. How many of you have done that?”Joe reflects on the experiences of those who have tried to hold on to old ways and the moment of crisis that leads to real 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.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the necessity of complete honesty and the willingness to let go of old ideas to embrace recovery fully.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the profound journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery. In this session, Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding the lows one has experienced to fully appreciate the highs of recovery.“This is a treasure hunt, not a crap hunt guys. I’m learning the depths that I sunk to so I’ll know the heights I’ve been lifted to. Does that make sense? It’s not for me. It’s for everyone else I can bear witness to for the rest of my life.”Joe discusses the importance of finding a higher power and understanding that recovery is about discovering power and purpose within oneself. “May you find him now. That’s our well wish. And we’ve got precise instructions. This isn’t about making it up. It’s not about groups of drunks. It’s not about doorknobs, light bulbs, or any other nonsense you’ve ever heard. We’re talking about power and purpose found within. We don’t define it. None of us can fully define or comprehend, but we can experience it, and we can grow in relationship with it and we can become effective witnesses of it and our life gets progressively better if we do. Does that make sense?”Joe’s discussion offers 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, delving into the profound simplicity that forms the foundation of recovery. Reflecting on the keystone concept of the new and triumphant arch to freedom, Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding who you are and whose you are.“Most good ideas are simple, and this concept was the keystone of the new and triumphant arch through which we passed to freedom. Which concept? Just said it to you. Who you are and whose you are. That’s it. That’s the keystone. Some of you that are biblical, you’re starting to see some not too accidental reference there. When we sincerely took such a position, all sorts of remarkable things followed.”Joe’s discussion highlights the condition and promise outlined in this passage, emphasizing that sincere acceptance of this concept leads to remarkable changes and freedom in recovery.

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 journey of recovery, Joe discusses the obsession with seeking ease and comfort and the necessity of a revolutionary change for the destruction to stop.“How many of you had a way of living and thinking that was completely driven by your obsession to get ease and comfort from whatever source? And so we really did need a revolution for the destruction to stop, did we not? So it says in the face of collapse and despair, in the face of the total failure of their human resources, they found that a new power—power, peace, happiness, and sense of direction flowed into them. You won’t win that fight if you’re anything like me. So we ain’t shaming nobody. But all we’re saying is there is power, peace, happiness, and a sense of direction available from within.”Joe’s discussion highlights the transformative power of recovery and the internal sources of strength and peace that become accessible through the 12-step 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 journey of recovery, Joe discusses the importance of celebrating progress rather than seeking perfection.“So the principles we’ve set down are guides to progress. We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection. Why do you think we celebrate successes, little victories? You know, if you want to train a fighter up, you give him some easy ones before you put him in the ring with a heavyweight. So it isn’t about anything you achieved, but for people like me to have a thirty-day medallion was an insurmountable obstacle. The last medallion I ever took was a thirty-day one because I think the least interesting thing about me is my sober date.”Joe’s discussion highlights the significance of recognizing and celebrating small milestones on the path to recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the promises and conditions outlined in Step 3 AA. Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding the foundational promises and the experience of the first several thousand who have successfully recovered by thoroughly following the path.Joe shares, “They start out with some promises and conditions. See if you can identify promises and conditions as we go through it. Rarely have we seen a person fail who’s thoroughly followed our path. What’s the promise? And who’s the ‘we’ telling the story? The first one hundred, telling the story of the first several thousand. Bearing witness to the first several thousand who have recovered, rarely have we seen someone fail who has thoroughly followed our path.”Joe’s discussion highlights the significance of recognizing the experiences of those who have come before, and the commitment required to follow the recovery path.

Reflecting on the necessity of letting go of old ideas, Joe highlights the crucial steps and experiences that lead to progress in recovery.Joe shares, “And if you survive it, we’ll pick you up. I once thought and felt as you do, but I doubt I’d have made much progress had I not taken action. Here’s the steps I took, here’s what I experienced as a result. Some of us have tried to hold onto our old ideas. The result was nil until we let go absolutely. Remember that we deal with alcohol—cunning, baffling, powerful. Without help, it’s too much for us. But there is one who has all power, and that one is God.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of taking action and letting go of old ideas while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.
