Position of Neutrality: Embracing a New Employer in Step 3 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the concept of embracing a new employer in the context of recovery. Reflecting on the transformative power that comes from surrendering control, Joe delves into the spiritual insights that guide individuals through their recovery journey. “The minute I think I had anything to do with it, there I are. Strictly, it doesn’t ever get any easier. So those of you who are biblical, signs and wonders follow us. Those of you who know what we do here, walk around here and watch captives get set free. Watch the blind receive their sight. Watch the lame walk. Watch it. So it says we had a new employer. Who’s my new employer? Power is my employer.” Joe’s discussion emphasizes the shift in mindset required to fully embrace the principles of Step 3 AA, highlighting the importance of acknowledging a higher power as the true source of strength and guidance.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the crucial elements of Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the importance of honesty and commitment in the recovery process, Joe guides us through the decision-making essential to this step. Joe explains, “So it says if you’ve decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it, then you’re ready to take certain steps. Lots of promising conditions there, isn’t there? So we need to know what it is they had, wouldn’t we? Well, let’s go to page 25. In the middle of page 25, they’re going to tell you exactly what they have, and then we can determine for ourselves whether we’re willing to go to any lengths or even certain lengths to get it. This is a manner of living that demands rigorous honesty, so we’re grasping and developing. We may not be all in right away, but we’re going to walk in the general direction.” Joe’s discussion highlights the essential commitment to honesty and willingness in the recovery journey. This session emphasizes the transformative power of rigorous honesty and the willingness to go to any lengths for recovery.

Position of Neutrality: The Illusion of Control in Step 3 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving deep into the transformative principles of Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the nature of selflessness and the illusion of control, Joe emphasizes the importance of focusing on others’ needs to truly find satisfaction and happiness. Joe explains, “Each person is like an actor who wants to run the whole show, forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery, and the rest of the players in his own way. His arrangements would only stay put if only people would do as he wished the show would be great. Many of you have felt that way: if they would just do what I’m telling them. Where are my people that have been blessed with a spiritual awakening? Here’s all the steps to try to work with some people. Do you notice how reluctant they are to take your suggestions? Never had more than a few of them at a time. Do you ever get really frustrated by the fact that they’re not bowing to your infinite wisdom? The show would be great if they’d just listen. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased. Life would be wonderful.” Joe’s discussion sheds light on the critical shift from self-centeredness to genuine selflessness, a key component in the journey of recovery. This session underscores the necessity of letting go of the illusion of control and embracing a life of service and humility.

Position of Neutrality: Selflessness and the Illusion of Control in Step 3 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving deep into the transformative principles of Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the nature of selflessness and the illusion of control, Joe emphasizes the importance of focusing on others’ needs to truly find satisfaction and happiness. Joe explains, “No, it was a transactional act of kindness. It may well be kind, but it was transactional. So it was not selfless. Does that make sense? And since we’ve determined self’s sort of the problem, I need to think less of self. Focus on what you need, and then in my meeting your needs, my needs are met. My old ideas are exposed. They can be examined. They can be let go. Yes. Okay, is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world if only he manages well?” Joe’s discussion sheds light on the critical shift from self-centeredness to genuine selflessness, a key component in the journey of recovery.

Position of Neutrality: Understanding the Step 3 Decision in AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the crucial insights of Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the decision-making process, Joe clarifies the essential nature of this step in the broader context of recovery. Joe explains, “Okay, so then it says we’re now at Step 3. Isn’t that frustrating the way the authors do that? They told us we were at Step 3 like 3 pages ago. The old guy’s been talking for like 40 minutes. Now we’re right back where we started. We’re now at Step 3. But now we have a better understanding of what the Step 3 decision is, don’t we? It’s to enact the manner of living suggested in 4 through 9 and then awaken to the power within me as I serve. Does that make sense? Because all 10, 11, and 12 are going to do is get me disciplined in the practices they showed me in 4 through 9. Does that make sense?” Joe’s discussion sheds light on the transformative power of Step 3 and the practical application of subsequent steps in the 12-step recovery process. This session emphasizes the importance of understanding and commitment in making the Step 3 decision, offering a message of hope and the possibility of profound personal change.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the profound concepts within Step 3 AA. Reflecting on the journey of overcoming self and embracing a higher plan, Joe offers insights into establishing a new foundation in recovery. Joe shares, “So how do you get rid of self? I get established on this footing, that keystone of the new and triumphant arch. I get established in that absolute certainty. I walk in it and serve in it and I grow in it. Make sense? Established on such a footing, we became less and less ourselves, our little plans and designs. How many of you have learned as you’ve grown in this how little your plans and designs really were in light of what plans and designs may have been revealed to you since then?” Joe’s discussion sheds light on the transformative power of Step 3 and the growth that comes from surrendering personal plans to embrace a higher purpose.

Reflecting on the varied human traits and the journey towards humility and personal growth, Joe offers insights into the complexities of self-condemnation and egotism. Joe shares, “You still got some self-condemnation going on if you’re on the other side we’re about to read, and you’re probably a little overly happy with the way you think and act all the time if you’re always finding yourself here. Does that make sense? So on the other hand, he may be mean, egotistical, selfish, and dishonest. Any of you have that? Some of us prided ourselves on it, right? Some of us, that was our survival tool. Where’s my people that just survived on just keeping making sure no one talks to me? If you live on the streets, that’s how you play. But as with most humans, he’s more likely to have varied traits. So what I’m going to try and do is grow into more normal human responses to human interactions. That make sense? So what usually happens?” Joe’s discussion sheds light on the journey of embracing humility and the growth that comes from engaging with the 12-step recovery process. This session emphasizes the importance of understanding and transforming one’s character defects while offering a message of hope and the possibility of profound personal change.

Reflecting on the necessity of searching fearlessly within, Joe delves into the profound insights that come from this introspective journey. “They couldn’t be talking about me. I died. You haven’t got there yet, but you’ll see. That’s the process of dying to self so we can live for our fellows. All right. So sometimes we had to search fearlessly, but he was there. So they’ve told us where and how. Where are we going looking? Deep down inside. And how are we gonna find it? Sometimes we’re gonna have to search fearlessly. Pretty simple, right?” Joe’s discussion highlights the importance of introspection and the fearless search within, offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.

Position of Neutrality: Embracing Spiritual Principles in Step 2 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the misconceptions and challenges many face when embracing spiritual principles. Reflecting on the notion that faith is a barrier, Joe discusses the importance of letting go of preconceived dogma and understanding the true essence of recovery. “Then it says that was great news to us. For we had assumed we could not make use of spiritual principles unless we accepted many things on faith which seemed difficult to believe. That’s why we want to surrender what you think the dogma is of recovery or church. There is no requirement. For years they say the only requirement is the desire to stop drinking, but I’ve been coming for lots and lots of years and I have never met an arbiter of desire at any door. So they know requirements—that’s bullshit we say for our brochures. Come as you are. Churches are the same way. There’s people there that know. You’ll be guided to them. When people presented us with spiritual approaches, how frequently did we all say I wish I had what that man has?” Joe’s discussion sheds light on the importance of embracing spiritual principles without the burden of dogma, offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process.
