Position of Neutrality: Embracing Honesty in Steps 5, 6, & 7 AA
About this episode
Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the necessity of honesty in recovery. Joe discusses the common behavior of seeking medical opinions, lying to obtain them, and then ignoring their advice.
“We are people as a class who have spent thousands of dollars for informed medical opinions, lied to get those opinions, and ignored the results of those opinions. So you’re not going to impress me with your opinion of my lifestyle; it’s just not going to happen. But if you’re living an example I wished I could live, I’m liable to pay attention. Does that make sense? So it says, unwilling to be honest with these sympathetic men, we were honest with no one else.”
Joe’s discussion underscores the importance of living an authentic life and being honest with oneself and others to achieve lasting recovery.
