Position of Neutrality: Offering Fellowship and Support in Step 12 AA Support and Friendship Healing with Alcoholism
About this episode
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 Step 12 AA, Joe emphasizes the importance of approaching alcoholics with humility, understanding, and fellowship, rather than with a sense of moral superiority.
“You’ll be most successful with alcoholics if you do not exhibit any passion for crusade or reform. Never talk down to an alcoholic from any moral or spiritual hilltop. Simply lay out the kit of spiritual tools for his inspection. Show him how they worked with you. Offer him friendship and fellowship. Tell him if he wants to get well, you’ll do anything to help. That’s the promise we need. Have any of you been told you never have to feel this way again if you don’t want to? How many of you found out you were lied to? You’re going to feel worse, but you won’t have to feel that way alone. And if you want to get well, I’ll walk with you while you do.”
This session explores the true meaning of fellowship and support in recovery. Joe highlights the importance of offering help without judgment, extending a hand of friendship, and walking the recovery journey together.
