Position of Neutrality: Unpacking AA’s Promises in Step 4 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the true promises of AA and the transformative power of Step 4. Reflecting on common misconceptions and the profound changes that occur through recovery, Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding and experiencing the real promises of the program.“And I kept coming to fellowships and people said, ‘Oh, I got a new car. Oh, the promises are coming true.’ I don’t know what promises they were talking about but it wasn’t AA’s promises. AA’s promises said I was going to lose my fear of economic insecurity. I was going to lose my fears of today, tomorrow, the year after. I was going to lose all these things that kept me in bondage. That’s what it said. It didn’t say I wasn’t going to live in poverty for 15 years. Guess what I outgrew in those 15 years? My fear of economic insecurity. It’s the truth. So don’t sugarcoat it because you don’t know.”Joe’s discussion sheds light on the real promises of AA and the necessity of facing and overcoming fears through honest self-assessment. This session emphasizes the power of recovery communities and the profound changes that come with thorough personal inventory.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.
