Position of Neutrality: Brian’s Step 2 Experience and the Power of Subconscious Belief How Believing in God Restored My Sanity
Brian Reinhart shares a profound moment from his Step 2 experience, revealing how a seemingly small encounter with the divine can lead to life-changing realizations. Raised in an atheist family, Brian had long struggled with the idea of believing in a higher power. However, after experiencing a moment of sleep paralysis, where he was held down by an unseen force, he instinctively prayed for help. To his astonishment, the moment he called out to God, the force lifted, and he was freed. This experience wasn’t just a turning point in his recovery but a revelation that even in his subconscious, a belief in God had already taken root. When Brian shared this experience with Joe McDonald, Joe’s insight was clear: if Brian could instinctively reach out to God in his subconscious, his belief was already there. This realization cemented the idea that if God could intervene in such a personal and profound way, then restoration to sanity—one of the central promises of Step 2 in Alcoholics Anonymous—was entirely possible. The journey of recovery often includes moments of doubt, yet this powerful encounter with a higher power helped Brian move forward on the path to wholeness. Step 2, as described in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, is about coming to believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity. Brian’s story reflects this step in action, where faith takes root in unexpected ways, proving that even when we struggle with belief on a conscious level, our spiritual journey continues beneath the surface. His journey offers hope to those who may still be wrestling with the concept of a higher power and shows that the Interactive Step Experience (ISE) can provide a bridge to deeper understanding and healing.
