Join Joe McDonald as he welcomes new attendees and emphasizes the unique experience of these recovery meetings. He shares how these gatherings offer a fresh perspective, drawing directly from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe highlights that in Alcoholics Anonymous, the process described by the authors has been proven to work for addicts of the hopeless variety. The purpose of these meetings is to offer a different and more transformative experience than what may have been encountered in other fellowships.

As Joe explains, the steps are taken directly from the Big Book and followed because they are effective. These steps are the foundation of recovery, allowing individuals to confront their struggles and begin to transform their lives. The message is clear: recovery through the steps of AA is not just about abstaining from addiction, but about a complete spiritual transformation, guided by the power we discover through the process.

Join Joe McDonald as he expands on Steps 8 and 9, discussing how an encounter with power leads to a transformation within. He shares that recovery is about moving from who we were to who we are now, through a process of spiritual revelation. This change isn’t something we boast about, but it’s noticeable to others, and when asked, we acknowledge that the difference comes from the power we’ve found in this recovery process.

In Alcoholics Anonymous, it is emphasized that we must approach those we have wronged with tact and sincerity, even those we harbor resentment toward. Resentment is especially dangerous for those struggling with addiction, acting like poison in our lives. Joe reminds us that confronting our fears and resentments is a crucial part of healing, both for ourselves and for the people we’ve hurt. The Big Book teaches us that we must be willing to announce our convictions and make amends, recognizing that this step is vital to both our spiritual growth and our recovery journey.

Join Joe McDonald as he expands on Steps 8 and 9 from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper insights into the process of making amends. In these steps, we take responsibility for our past actions, making sincere efforts to set things right with those we’ve harmed. As the Big Book teaches, amends are more than just saying “sorry” — they require genuine action and a commitment to personal growth.

In one story from the Big Book, a man wrote to his first wife, admitting his faults, asking for forgiveness, and offering to face jail time if she insisted. His willingness to take full responsibility for his actions, despite the fear of consequences, shows the power of living with integrity. As the Big Book reminds us, clearing away the wreckage of the past is essential to finding peace in recovery.

The amends process isn’t just about repairing relationships with others; it’s about healing ourselves. By practicing patience, tolerance, and love in our daily lives, we not only become better people but also help others on their recovery journey.

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 explains the unique experience that attendees of the Position of Neutrality meetings are meant to have, sharing insights from years of working with the 12-step recovery process. He emphasizes that this process has been proven to work for addicts of the hopeless variety—those who were once seemingly lost to addiction but found a way out through the steps outlined in the Big Book.

The Big Book’s main purpose is to show others precisely how its authors recovered, and Joe continues that tradition by sharing how he connects his own story to the experiences found within its pages. By aligning personal recovery with the steps and principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, we are able to show others precisely how to recover from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.

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 explores the deeper meaning behind Steps 8 and 9, focusing on the freedom, fitness, and purpose these steps provide. He emphasizes that recovery is not just about putting our lives in order—it’s about preparing ourselves for maximum service to God and those around us. The process of making amends is not merely a step toward personal peace but a path to fulfilling our true purpose in life: being of service to others.

Joe shares that our addiction, rather than being a curse, is actually a calling. The decision we face is whether we will walk in the curse or answer the call to become something greater. By making amends and cleaning up our past, we align ourselves with a higher purpose and begin to walk in a new freedom and fitness for life.

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 honesty and building a strong foundation in recovery. He emphasizes the need to be open with creditors and others we’ve harmed during our addiction. The Big Book encourages us to stop dodging those we owe and to confront our past directly—because, more often than not, people already know the truth about our condition.

Joe warns against keeping secrets in recovery, as hiding one small aspect of ourselves can lead to everything falling apart. As he shares, without a solid foundation, recovery will collapse when challenges arise, and they inevitably will. This step calls for transparency, facing our responsibilities, and establishing a stable foundation for lasting sobriety.

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 discusses the importance of fitting ourselves to be of maximum service to God and others. The authors of the Big Book emphasize that putting our lives in order is not the end goal. Instead, the true purpose of recovery is to become fit for service, using our experiences to help others who are struggling.

This step is often referred to as the freedom step because it represents a turning point where personal transformation meets purpose. For many in recovery, overcoming past struggles becomes a powerful testimony that can guide others through similar challenges. Joe encourages us to recognize the power within that drives us to live a life of purpose, service, and spiritual growth.

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 emphasizes the importance of finding your own experience in the book. Rather than prescribing what the Big Book says, he encourages individuals to explore its message for themselves. The idea is to have a personal revelation, one that resonates deeply and uniquely with each reader. When we experience this shared revelation, it’s something that can be felt and recognized by others on the same path.

In Alcoholics Anonymous, the power we call God is not just discussed—it’s demonstrated. This demonstration of a higher power’s presence is critical to recovery. Joe also reassures newcomers that while terms like “God” might be challenging due to past experiences, the focus here is on personal transformation, not adherence to specific terminology. The goal is to help everyone discover their own connection to a power greater than themselves.

Join Joe McDonald as he delves into Steps 8 and 9 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session, Joe discusses the importance of owning our mistakes and making amends to those we have harmed. The Big Book emphasizes that our fear of disclosing past wrongs should not hold us back from doing the right thing. When we confess to others, it’s not about offering excuses but giving honest explanations.

In Alcoholics Anonymous, we learn that making amends is about restoring trust and faith where it has been broken. Our admission of wrongdoings and willingness to make things right opens the door for healing and spiritual growth. The process is simple: acknowledge the harm done, explain the mindset we were in, and offer a sincere effort to make amends. This powerful act of humility helps not only to rebuild relationships but also to deepen our recovery.
