Position of Neutrality: Embracing Accountability in Steps 8 & 9 AA
About this episode
Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the deeper implications of Steps 8 & 9. In this session, Joe discusses the importance of honesty and transparency, especially when disclosing past actions influenced by alcoholism.
“How many of you thought you were slick? I’m pulling it off. I keep it on the down low. They don’t know that I do this. Nor are we afraid of disclosing our alcoholism on the theory that it may cause financial harm. My alcoholism may cause financial harm. My disclosure of it to someone I harmed because of my addictive behavior will not. And even if it does, it’s for a purpose.”
Joe’s insights emphasize that true recovery involves embracing accountability and understanding that disclosure, though challenging, serves a higher purpose in the journey to freedom.
