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 delves into the concept of “pocketing pride” and how this metaphor guides us through overcoming the fear of judgment in our recovery process. The authors of the Big Book use this powerful image to remind us that often, our pride keeps us trapped in fear, preventing us from moving forward.
As we continue in our recovery, the act of setting aside our pride allows us to ask for help and, in turn, experience the fulfillment of helping others. These steps teach us that it’s not just about admitting our defects, but also allowing others to aid us in our journey, offering them the chance to feel purposeful and valued. By pocketing our pride, we take action toward freedom from fear and embark on the path of spiritual growth.
