Curiosity and Connection: Joe McDonald on Recovery in AA
“He's become very curious to know how you got. Well, how many of you can remember that first day or days in recovery and you started coming around people, or maybe they came and met you somewhere and you heard them and you looked at them and you looked at up and down, and maybe they were the same person A Couple Of Days, but somehow you always remembered how they made you feel, but you couldn't really remember what the fuck they said.”
Have you ever wondered what makes some people stand out in their recovery journey? In this intriguing episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald delves into the concept of the position of neutrality as suggested by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Drawing from the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered From Alcoholism', Joe explores how curiosity can be a powerful tool in recovery.
He invites listeners to reflect on their early days in the program and the magnetic pull they felt towards others who seemed to have found their way. With questions like 'Why are you different?' and 'Why am I drawn to you?', Joe highlights the importance of connecting with others on the same path. This episode offers a fresh perspective on the AA program, emphasizing that recovery is not just about abstaining from alcohol but also about building meaningful relationships.
