Position of Neutrality: Balancing Religious and Recovery Practices in Steps 5, 6, & 7 AA Finding the Right Confessor Trust and Spiritual Connection
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 addresses the importance of balancing religious practices with recovery practices, particularly when navigating Steps 5, 6, & 7. Joe emphasizes that while religious confessions have their place, they should not replace the spiritual actions required in recovery.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, confession or sharing your inventory with the right person is essential, but finding that person is a deeply personal process. Joe reminds us that when the right person appears, you will know—just as countless others have experienced. However, it’s crucial to distinguish between religious duties and recovery practices. The Big Book emphasizes that while it’s important to adhere to personal religious beliefs, recovery requires a specific approach grounded in the AA process, particularly for those struggling with addiction.
In both AA and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), the distinction between religious rituals and recovery practices is essential. Recovery is about taking action in alignment with spiritual principles, and while faith plays a part, the steps require tangible, deliberate efforts toward change.
