Position of Neutrality: Discovering Your True Identity – Steps 10 and 11

Power comes not from your behaviors or your thoughts, but from recognizing your true identity. This journey is about realizing that you are not defined by how you act, think, or speak. You may be asleep, and you may be accused of being those things, but if you walk this path, you will discover that who you really are is a child of the living God. Amen. And whose you are is His, bought with blood. You must walk in this truth. If people are offended by it, I will not apologize. In this session, we delve into Steps 10 and 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the profound transformation that comes from embracing your true identity and belonging. Join us as we explore personal experiences and practical applications of these principles, helping you stay connected to your spiritual path and live authentically.

Position of Neutrality: Practicing Principles and Spiritual Vigilance – Steps 10 and 11

In this session, we explore the importance of practicing the principles of recovery in all our affairs, as guided by Steps 10 and 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. We focus on staying vigilant against selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. By discussing these feelings with another and promptly admitting them, we maintain our spiritual health. While praying and meditating, we guard our mental and spiritual state throughout the day, constantly asking for the right thought or action. We remind ourselves that we are no longer running the show; we are guided by a higher power. This ongoing process helps us to live authentically and remain connected to our spiritual path. Join us as we share personal experiences and practical tips for integrating these principles into daily life.

Position of Neutrality: Gaining Freedom Through Selflessness – Steps 10 and 11

Feed my sheep. If you love me, feed my sheep.’ In this session, we reflect on the transformative journey from self-interest to selflessness as guided by Steps 10 and 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. We discuss how, by losing interest in selfish things and gaining interest in our fellows, self-seeking behaviors begin to slip away. It’s important to note that we don’t banish selfishness outright; rather, it gradually diminishes as our focus shifts from self-gratification to uplifting others. Have you noticed how your world gets simpler and larger when your main goal is to help others? This session explores this profound shift in perspective and its impact on our lives. Join us as we delve into personal experiences and practical applications of these principles, highlighting how selflessness can bring about greater peace and fulfillment.

Position of Neutrality: Finding Strength and Inspiration in Recovery – Steps 10 and 11

What could possibly go wrong? More importantly, what could go right? As we approach our fourth year, we’ve faced allegations and challenges, but our commitment remains unwavering. Our people keep coming home, and every time they walk into our lobby, we say ‘welcome home’—and we mean it. Whether it’s their first visit or they’ve come back a time or two, our welcome is always sincere. Much has already been said about receiving strength, inspiration, and direction from Him who has all knowledge and power. In this session, we explore what has been said and how it applies to our daily lives. Steps 10 and 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous guide us in maintaining a continuous connection with our higher power, ensuring that we draw strength and inspiration from this source. Join us as we delve into the teachings that have been shared, reflect on the challenges and successes of our journey, and discuss how to stay grounded and inspired in recovery.

Position of Neutrality: Achieving Mental Freedom in Recovery – Steps 10 and 11

The reality is I’m not free until my mind is free of grievances and limiting thoughts about myself or others. Any limit I place on you, I automatically place on myself because I am the placer of these limits. This session delves into the importance of freeing our minds from grievances and limiting beliefs to achieve true mental freedom in recovery. We explore how Steps 10 and 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous guide us in maintaining this mental clarity and spiritual growth. By continuously clearing away wrong motives and negative thoughts, we elevate our thought life to a higher plane, enabling us to live more fully and authentically. We discuss practical ways to implement these steps, share personal experiences, and reflect on the question: ‘What could we have done better?’ Join us as we uncover the path to mental freedom and lasting recovery.

Position of Neutrality: Elevating Your Thought Life for Lasting Recovery – Steps 10 and 11

Our thought life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives. We aim to clear the way all the time because our entire life, regardless of age, is lived out in our thoughts. Reflect on how your thinking has evolved from when you were twenty to now, and you’ll see that while everyone else aged around you, your internal thought life remains vibrant. Maintaining a clear and positive thought life keeps us young in spirit, regardless of what our bodies can or cannot do. This perspective is crucial for enduring recovery. In this session, we discuss the significance of keeping our thought life clean and how it influences our overall well-being. Steps 10 and 11 guide us in this process by helping us maintain spiritual growth and daily inventory. Join us as we explore practical ways to elevate your thought life, share personal experiences, and discuss how to stay young in spirit through continuous spiritual practice.

Position of Neutrality: Aligning Thoughts with Purpose in Recovery – Steps 10 and 11

In this session, we explore a powerful strategy for facing difficult situations by aligning our thoughts with purpose and divine guidance. Whenever you walk into a challenging situation or find yourself in one, remember this promise: under these conditions, we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, because God gave us brains to use. Often, our thoughts can get in the way of reality. By asking for guidance to separate from the distorted reality we paint and walk in the purpose-driven reality God has for us, we find strength and clarity. You are sent into every situation for a purpose, and this realization helps us employ our mental faculties effectively. When our thoughts work for us, we navigate challenges with assurance and confidence. Steps 10 and 11 teach us to maintain this alignment through daily practice and spiritual growth. Join us as we delve deeper into these steps, share personal experiences, and discuss practical ways to integrate this mindset into your recovery journey.

Position of Neutrality: Embracing a Life of Service Through Steps 10 and 11

The steps are all-inclusive; they are not mutually exclusive. This is not just a workbook exercise—it’s a manner of living. If you want to walk awake, you do it all for the purpose of serving. Does it make sense? In this session, we discuss how we ask for what we need to handle our problems, seeking freedom from self-will and ensuring our requests are for the benefit of others as well. How many of you have learned that lesson? When faced with daunting amends or court cases, it’s tempting to ask for them to be taken away. But true empowerment comes when we are given the strength to walk through these challenges with dignity, lifting our guilt, shame, and remorse in the process. Steps 10 and 11 teach us the importance of daily maintenance and spiritual growth, helping us live a life of service. Join us as we explore these steps, share personal experiences, and discuss how this approach can lead to profound personal transformation.

Position of Neutrality: Embracing the Promises of Steps 10 and 11

Are these extravagant promises? They really do seem extravagant, especially for those of us who have a history of embellishing the truth. Yet, the authors of the Big Book assure us that these promises are not extravagant—they are being fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. In this session, we delve into the promises associated with Steps 10 and 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. These steps guide us in continuing personal inventory and improving our conscious contact with a higher power. By diligently working these steps, we find that the promises of peace, freedom, and spiritual growth materialize in our lives. Join us as we explore how these steps help us stay accountable, grow spiritually, and experience the profound changes that the program promises.
