Position of Neutrality: Embracing Action for Better Thinking in Step 5, 6, & 7 AA
Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, discussing the critical shift from trying to think our way into better acting to acting our way into better thinking in Steps 5, 6, and 7 AA. Joe explains the practical application of this approach in recovery.“Because of the way the book’s written, the instructions are in a chapter called ‘How It Works,’ and then when we start getting into the manner of living, they start talking about getting into action because we are people as a class, if we’ve had addictive disorder, who’ve tried to think our way into better acting and found we could not. Yes? And so now they’ve got a plan for us, a manner of living where we act our way into better thinking. And I’m not like, not pretend to act, I mean act, take action, move my feet, do things, and my mind catches up as I start moving intentionally in a selfless manner of living. Does that make sense?”Joe’s discussion emphasizes the importance of taking concrete actions to foster a new mindset, vital for continuous recovery and personal growth.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.
