Position of Neutrality: Confronting the Double Life in Steps 5, 6, & 7 AA The Hidden Struggle Alcoholics' Double Life Revealed
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 speaks on the struggle that many alcoholics face with living a double life. The Big Book explains that the alcoholic is very much like an actor, presenting one persona to the world while feeling completely different inside. This internal conflict, the battle between what we show others and how we truly feel, is a common struggle in recovery.
The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous emphasizes that this “double life” is a key area where alcoholics must confront their own dishonesty. As we work through Steps 5, 6, and 7, we begin to shed these false identities and personas, allowing us to live with honesty and integrity. By letting go of these facades, we start to experience the true freedom that comes with aligning ourselves with our higher power. The process of recovery allows us to reclaim our authentic identity, no longer defined by the masks we wear or the lies we tell ourselves.
