Position of Neutrality: Facing Financial Amends in Steps 8 & 9 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he dives into the financial realities many face when entering recovery, particularly during Steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe shares insights on the common experience of discovering just how much money is owed once a thorough 4th Step inventory is completed.Joe addresses a key realization: “Most alcoholics owe money. Now, just by a show of hands, did anyone get to recovery without owing money? None of us get here on a winning streak. How many of you didn’t think you owed money until you did your list in Step 4? You thought they wanted your money, didn’t you? And you found out it was their money they wanted.”This session focuses on the importance of confronting financial amends directly and honestly, without dodging creditors or hiding behind past behaviors. Acknowledging and addressing these debts is a crucial part of the recovery process, as Joe explains, “We make no bones about our drinking. They usually know it anyway, whether we think so or not.”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.
