Position of Neutrality: Embracing Discipline in Steps 5, 6, & 7 AA
About this episode
Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the deeper discipline required in Steps 5, 6, and 7. Reflecting on the necessity of admitting our defects and embracing a disciplined manner of living, Joe guides us through the process of recovery.
“Did you guys go to sleep? Big lunch? We’ve admitted to God. They’re trying to hear you in Edmonton, Alberta. I’m going there in 50 days. To ourselves and to another human being, the exact nature of our defects. This brings us to the 5th step in the program of recovery mentioned in the preceding chapter. So the last chapter was about how it works—not how the power works, how the process works to reveal the power to you through you. And now they’re going to get in detail about what the manner of living looks like because we’re about to get disciplined in the practices.”
Joe’s discussion emphasizes that true recovery is about more than just understanding; it’s about disciplined action and continuous self-examination.
