Join Joe McDonald as he discusses the delicate balance of sharing our spiritual journey in Steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe highlights the importance of discerning when and how to bring up the spiritual aspect of recovery, especially when making amends. The Big Book advises that sometimes, it’s best to hold off on discussing spirituality during the first approach, as it may create prejudice or harm the process.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, we are reminded that recovery involves more than just making amends—it’s about personal growth, prayer, and meditation. Joe explains that as we serve others and practice daily inventory, we begin to sense when it’s time to announce our faith. Often, those who have had negative experiences with spirituality will recognize the changes in us, not through our words, but through the transformation they see in our actions. The Big Book teaches us to live a new life that can inspire others, without forcing our beliefs onto them.
