Position of Neutrality: Leading with Honesty in Steps 8 & 9 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he explores the importance of taking the lead in making amends, particularly during Steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe emphasizes that a simple, remorseful apology isn’t enough—real, meaningful change requires sitting down with those we’ve harmed and honestly analyzing the past.Joe explains, “We must take the lead. A remorseful mumbling that we’re sorry won’t fill the bill at all. We ought to sit down with the family and frankly analyze the past as we now see it. So how do we see the past? Hopefully, our perspective’s grown. I saw the part I played, the harms I inflicted, the fear that drove it. I now know what’s driving them when they act out toward me. It’s the same fear. I know what it’s like to be afraid.”This session is a deep dive into the critical process of making amends, encouraging us to approach these conversations with honesty, empathy, and a deeper understanding of both our actions and the fears that drive others.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.
