Position of Neutrality: Beyond Abstinence in Steps 5, 6, & 7 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the deeper goals of 12-step recovery beyond mere abstinence. Reflecting on the common misconceptions and the true essence of recovery, Joe challenges us to understand and embrace a sustainable manner of living.“How many of you were led to believe that the goal of 12-step recovery was abstinence? It’s easy to get led down that path, isn’t it? And we celebrate abstinence, right? They call it continuous sobriety. They put a flag. How many of you remember your last day or days of addiction or whatever what abstinence meant to you? Didn’t seem like a sustainable manner of living, did it? Like you’re looking for shit on the floor, huh?”Joe’s discussion emphasizes that true recovery is more than just abstinence—it’s about embracing a new way of life and finding a sustainable path to happiness and fulfillment.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.
