Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this session, Joe discusses the power of sharing both the experience of hopelessness and the solution that comes from a spiritual awakening.“I can talk to them about hopelessness because I know of hopelessness. And I can talk to you about a solution because I'm inhabited by one. In fact, the solution that inhabits me has directed me to you. And my job, if you'll have it, is to wake up to that fact. Yes. So you will soon have your friend admitting he has many if not all the traits of an alcoholic. So it's not always an all-spiritual conversation, is it? Because we meet them and they're pretty tore up. And we talk about all kinds of worldly discomfort.”Joe emphasizes the importance of connecting on a human level while gently guiding someone toward the spiritual solution that will lead them to recovery. This approach aligns with the principles of Step 12 AA, focusing on carrying the message to those who still suffer.Join us as Joe McDonald expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

As a Black-presenting, Catholic school *and* Baptist Church-attending veteran from a military family, you can probably guess how easy it was for Bill to accept the fact that he was bisexual.

As a recovering addict, we are encouraged not to visit places where we used to use. Do not see people we used to use with. I can understand the reasons behind that advice. However, today I ended up in my old hood. The streets that housed my drug fueled previous life. Now the same people weren't there, but it was the same crowd, doing the exact same thing I was doing 11 months ago. Instead of being a part of the problem, I was able to bring hope to those streets. #recoveringmeth visit recoveringmeth.com
