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 dives into the idea of how we often cover up our consciousness of a higher power, leading to fear, tension, and misery. Many in recovery find that even when things are going well, they’re suddenly struck by feelings of depression and hopelessness.
The Big Book, written nearly 90 years ago, describes this exact experience. It shows us that the solution isn’t in managing life through our own strength but through aligning ourselves with a higher power. The authors emphasize that real transformation comes through adopting a new way of living—one based on spiritual principles, humility, and action. This manner of living provides the stability we need to remain in recovery and avoid the traps of fear and misery.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, the solution to these struggles is found in taking action through the steps, particularly Steps 5, 6, and 7. These steps teach us that spiritual growth is about surrendering our ego and recognizing the need for help from a power greater than ourselves.
