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 Bill Wilson’s reflection that it’s more logical to believe than not to believe, based on personal experience. The world reflects back to us how we think and feel, and this realization can be a critical point in recovery.

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Wilson lays out the case that the world doesn’t cause how we think and feel; it reflects back how we’re thinking and feeling. When we feel powerless, it’s often because we’ve tied meaning to experiences that don’t originate from our connection to a higher power. This session emphasizes checking in with the Creator and aligning ourselves spiritually, just as AA teaches through Steps 5, 6, and 7.

The spiritual process of recovery requires humility, and this reflection is key to overcoming challenges. By understanding that our experience in the world is a reflection of our thinking, we can break free from negative cycles and deepen our relationship with a higher power.

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 disclosing ourselves fully to another human being. The Big Book makes it clear that skipping this vital step can be detrimental to recovery, as those who avoid it often turn to easier methods and risk relapse.

By sharing the facts about ourselves, we arm ourselves with the knowledge necessary to help others in similar situations. Recovery is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about breaking through the isolation that addiction fosters and allowing ourselves to be truly seen by another.

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 relationships in achieving peace, joy, and happiness. Without healthy relationships, true recovery remains out of reach. As we navigate Steps 5, 6, & 7, we are encouraged to take a quiet moment for reflection—something many of us find difficult but necessary for real transformation.

The Big Book guides us to carefully review what we’ve done so far in our recovery. Joe helps us understand that by quieting the mind and focusing on our progress, we open ourselves up to spiritual growth and deeper connections. Recovery is not just about the absence of addiction but about building meaningful relationships with ourselves, others, and a higher power.

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 dives into the struggles many face even after becoming sober, such as difficulty getting along with others and the temptation to isolate. He reveals that isolation isn’t the answer and that resentment, even when unspoken, follows us wherever we go. By recognizing these patterns, we can begin to take action through Steps 5, 6, & 7 to address these deeper issues.

The Big Book teaches us that true recovery goes beyond simply abstaining from substances. It’s about working through our resentments, making amends, and cultivating healthier relationships. Joe offers insights into how these steps help us confront the emotional baggage we bring with us, whether we realize it or not.

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 why in recovery we share experiences, not opinions. Alcoholics often spend thousands of dollars on medical opinions, only to lie about the truth and ignore the results. What truly matters is sharing experiences—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how we’re doing better today. By being honest in our experiences, we offer something of real value to others on the same journey.

The Big Book teaches that by being honest with others, especially those who share in our struggles, we find the strength to grow. In Steps 5, 6, & 7, we confront the core of who we are, acknowledging our flaws and seeking a higher power to help us become better.

In this session, Joe expresses gratitude to Wayne for leading while he was away and reconnects with the community, including a special shout-out to faithful followers in Canada. This episode emphasizes the importance of community and fellowship, as well as staying grounded in the principles of Steps 5, 6, & 7. Joe reminds us of the transformative power of support from others in recovery, and how vital it is to rely on each other on this journey.

The Big Book teaches us that we cannot do this alone, and it is through the strength of the fellowship and the guidance of a higher power that we truly find the path to recovery.

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 explores how the spiritual experience begins to transform our thinking and actions. The authors of Alcoholics Anonymous show us that the real battle is between the lies our ego tells us and the truth we discover through the process of recovery.

Joe emphasizes that many of us came into recovery with certain spiritual beliefs, but it’s through this process that we begin to truly feel the nearness of a higher power. It’s not about proving God’s existence—it’s about experiencing that presence in our lives, even during our darkest moments. The Big Book teaches us that staying in discipline, subordinating the ego, and engaging in the steps are the keys to overcoming the lies we tell ourselves and embracing the spiritual truth that leads to freedom.

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 emphasizes the need for power in recovery. It’s not just about avoiding substances—it’s about tapping into a power greater than ourselves to take meaningful action and bear witness to the transformative strength that has restored us.

The Big Book teaches that recovery requires action, not just abstinence. As Joe reminds us, “It takes no power to not do.” But to face the challenges of life, especially in recovery, we need a deeper connection to a higher power. Joe encourages us to recognize that everything we experience is preparing us for the next step, helping us let go of condemnation and embrace the path ahead.

In Alcoholics Anonymous, we learn that spiritual growth and transformation come through surrender, recognizing the necessity of divine power to move beyond our old habits and thinking. By asking to be sent out and being prepared to bear witness, we’re aligning ourselves with the higher purpose of sharing recovery with others, even when it’s challenging or inconvenient. This is the essence of living the steps.

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 reflects on the promise that we can be alone at perfect peace and ease. For many in addiction, being alone was a luxury lost long ago, often accompanied by a constant chorus of thoughts. Joe shares the personal experience of finally knowing a new peace, a new freedom, and a new happiness after working through the steps.

The Big Book teaches that the spiritual transformation achieved through Steps 5, 6, and 7 allows us to experience this profound change. It is not just about being free from addiction but being free within ourselves, finding that inner silence and serenity many of us lost during our addiction.

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 spiritual delight that can come after completing a fifth step. For many, the first time may bring feelings of being unburdened, though sometimes it may add a burden. Joe reflects on his own experience, feeling dead in spirit but eventually recognizing the joy of spiritual awakening when it was pointed out to him by another.

Taking someone through a fifth step can be transformative for both people involved, especially when one helps another unpack their experience. In AA, there’s an acknowledgment that helping others in their journey allows us to feel a shared sense of delight in the process, even if we were initially unaware of it.
