Position of Neutrality: Sharing Experiences and Guiding Others – Step 12

Position of Neutrality by Joe McDonald

Episode notes

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it says, ‘So that’s the experience we want to share with them.’ Just because I think I’m doing this, knowing my history, doesn’t mean I’m free from the insanity of the first drink. When they talk about the insanity of the first one, I’m certifiable at the point I take one, knowing my history. So, at this stage, don’t refer to this book unless he has seen it or wishes to discuss it, and be careful not to brand him as an alcoholic. Let him draw his own conclusion. If he sticks to the idea that he can still control his drinking, tell him that possibly he can, if he’s not too alcoholic. Join us as we explore the transformative power of Step 12, focusing on sharing our experiences and guiding others without imposing labels. Tune in every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Arizona time on our YouTube channel for more insight ...
