Position of Neutrality: Taking Risks in Steps 5, 6, & 7 AA Unlocking Faith Borrowing Belief for a Better Life
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 importance of taking risks and moving forward in faith, even when fear is holding us back. He shares the story of a man who initially didn’t believe in God but borrowed Joe’s faith and found recovery. This highlights a core AA principle: you don’t have to have all the answers—sometimes you just need to lean on others’ belief until you find your own.
The Big Book teaches us that fear often holds us back from growth. Joe reminds us that waiting for the “perfect” person to share with or the right moment to take action often leads to missed opportunities. In AA, we learn that moving in faith, even when we’re unsure, opens the door to spiritual transformation. Steps 5, 6, and 7 require us to confront our fears, trust in the process, and lean on the support of others as we let go of our past and embrace a better life.
Recovery isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about trusting the process, taking action, and finding the power that works for you, even if it starts by borrowing someone else’s belief.
