Position of Neutrality: Acting into Better Thinking in Steps 5, 6, & 7 AA Act Your Way to Recovery Transform Your Thinking
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 Steps 5, 6, & 7, Joe discusses the shift from trying to think your way into better actions to acting your way into better thinking. The authors of Alcoholics Anonymous emphasize that recovery isn’t about simply attending meetings or reciting chants—it’s about taking meaningful action based on a set of spiritual principles.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, we learn that subduing our ego and leveling our pride is essential. The Big Book teaches us that our participation in recovery isn’t passive. It requires admitting our harms to others, and more importantly, recognizing that this action is necessary for our own spiritual growth. This is what begins to align us with a higher power, allowing us to experience true transformation. Steps 5, 6, and 7 are all about letting go of the old self and embracing the humility required for change.
By taking action and practicing these steps, we move beyond the idea of recovery and into the actual experience of living a recovered life. AA shows us that spiritual growth comes from engaging in this process wholeheartedly and letting go of ego-based thinking.
