Position of Neutrality: Recognizing the Certainty in Our Addictions in Step 3 AA The Dangerous Certainty Chasing Personal Comfort
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 Step 3 AA session, Joe discusses the certainty many of us felt in addiction—that a fix would change how we felt, even if it didn’t make us feel better. He reflects on how addiction is often driven by the need for a different feeling, not necessarily a better one, and how we were willing to risk everything to chase that feeling.
Joe highlights that this certainty was rooted in personal experience and how addiction warps our thinking, making us willing to jeopardize our lives for fleeting relief. By embracing the spiritual solution in Step 3, we can break free from the certainty of addiction and begin to trust in a higher power to guide us toward lasting change.
