Position of Neutrality: Shifting Perspectives in Step 4 AA Finding Grace in Addiction A Shift in Perspective


Listen Later

Join Wayne Giles as he expands on the concepts found in Step 4 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the critical shift in perspective needed for growth. In this session, Wayne highlights the importance of recognizing that the people we encounter in life, just like us, are often sick in their own ways. This shift helps us extend grace, not just to others but to ourselves, especially when reflecting on our behavior in active addiction. Wayne shares personal reflections on how, when we’re sick, we expect others to care for us without holding us accountable for our actions—just as many of us desired when we were deep in our addictions. This is the delusion that keeps us stuck, seeking comfort but avoiding responsibility.

In both Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), we are taught to change our thinking by shifting perspectives and seeing the world through a different lens. This shift begins with accepting that we are all in the process of recovery and requires offering grace to others and ourselves. The story Wayne shares emphasizes the power of compassion and understanding, key elements that help us heal from our past and grow spiritually.
