Join Joe McDonald as he discusses the importance of sharing personal experiences in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains that while some doctors, ministers, or hospitals may be hesitant to assist, those who truly know you and recognize your redemption will call upon you to help others. He reminds us not to start out as an evangelist or a reformer but to simply share what we were like, what happened, and what we are striving to be now. Joe emphasizes that every connection made in recovery is not by accident and that sharing your story is enough to help others draw their own conclusions.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 focuses on carrying the message to others through personal experience. Joe encourages us to speak from the heart, knowing that our story can inspire others on their path to recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he shares insights on the mental condition surrounding the first drink, as discussed in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe emphasizes that this “queer mental condition” prevents normal functioning of willpower. He shares how even with clean time, a tough week can bring the temptation to let off steam by having a few drinks, illustrating the mental battles many face in recovery. Joe asks us to reflect on how often our minds lead us into situations where our willpower alone isn’t enough to stay sober.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 teaches us to carry the message of recovery to others and to share our experiences. Joe encourages us to be mindful of how easily the mind can rationalize that first drink and to stay grounded in our recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he discusses the delicate balance of conversation when helping others in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains that sometimes, we want to let off steam, but doing so can lead to significant consequences. He highlights the importance of not labeling someone as an alcoholic during the early stages of conversation, and instead allowing them to draw their own conclusions. Joe reminds us that we’re not powerful enough to argue with the voice of addiction, but we can speak to the part of them that wants to live.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 teaches us to carry the message to others with care and wisdom. Joe emphasizes that the key is engaging with the person who is ready to recover, not arguing with the addiction that seeks to destroy.

Join Joe McDonald as he discusses the practical approach to helping others in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains how most of us meet people in recovery settings, through family members, or by simply being asked for help. He emphasizes the importance of engaging in general conversation first, as outlined on page 91 of the Big Book. Joe also highlights that the moment we humble ourselves to ask someone for help, we are already in Step 12—this step is all-inclusive in its nature. Helping others is not just a part of recovery, but the very foundation of it.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 teaches us to carry the message and practice these principles in all our affairs. Joe encourages us to embrace humility and recognize that we’re already on the path of Step 12 the moment we ask for help or offer it to someone else.

Join Joe McDonald as he emphasizes the importance of intensive work with others in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains that practical experience shows nothing will ensure immunity from drinking more than this intensive work with fellow alcoholics. He highlights the promise and the condition—that other activities may fail, but working closely with others in recovery is key. Joe reminds us that emotional and mental challenges will come, but the support and connection we build through service will help us stay grounded and strong.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 calls for carrying the message to others and practicing these principles in all our affairs. Joe encourages us to engage in this intensive work, knowing that it is a crucial part of maintaining our own sobriety and supporting the recovery of others.

Join Joe McDonald as he shares the powerful lesson of the Good Samaritan, relating it to Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains that the Good Samaritan, although unlikely and even forbidden to help, could not walk past his brother who was beaten by the side of the road. Instead, he stopped, tended to his wounds, and took responsibility for his care. This story reminds us that in recovery, we are called to take ownership of the care of our brothers and sisters, even when it’s inconvenient or unexpected.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 is about carrying the message and being of service to others. Joe encourages us to embody the spirit of the Good Samaritan by stepping up to help those in need, taking responsibility for their care, and being a source of support on the journey to recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he reflects on the powerful experience of seeing the world differently through recovery, as outlined in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe asks, why do the authors say “this is an experience you must not miss” instead of “a sight”? He explains that when we begin to see things differently, we also feel them—because truth has a feel. Joe emphasizes that this feeling of truth is the power we call God, and it’s a transformative part of the recovery journey.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 is about carrying the message to others and living by spiritual principles. Joe encourages us to embrace this experience fully and to recognize the truth and power we now feel through our connection with our Higher Power.

Join Joe McDonald as he delves into the promises of Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous, where helping others becomes the foundation stone of recovery. Joe explains that a simple kind act every now and then is not enough—being of service may require great sacrifices, including the loss of sleep, interruptions to your life, and sharing your resources with others. It may mean countless trips to jails, hospitals, and even asylums, but this is the work we do in recovery. Joe asks us to reflect on how many of us have been to these places and how strangers have shown up to support us there.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 is about carrying the message to others and practicing these principles in all our affairs. Joe encourages us to live out these promises, embracing the power of service and the transformation it brings to ourselves and others.
