Note sull'episodio

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and emotional experiences outlined in the early pages of the book. Reflecting on the harrowing struggles faced by those battling addiction, Joe highlights the importance of addressing inappropriate responses to trauma in Step 4.

“Somebody has to watch how you’re reacting and pay attention to how you’re feeling as you’re unearthing these grievous things that happen to you because you may be smiling talking about how someone repeatedly raped you. I’ve seen it happen. That’s an inappropriate response but that’s how you’ve learned to survive. I need to call to your attention that’s an inappropriate response, not wrong, inappropriate. I’m feeling the weight of the harm that was done to you. Let it go. Let me take it. Because that’s the other thing we do in the spirit. We carry their burdens when necessary.”

Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process. This session emphasizes the importance of reaching out for help and the power of the support found within recovery communities.
