Finding the Missing Power in Alcohol Recovery: Joe McDonald’s Take
“But we found that such codes and philosophies did not change us, save us, no matter how much we tried. So how many of you have tried changing your philosophies? Did you find that you had a hard time maintaining those new principles, because lack of power was still my dilemma?”

In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald dives into why codes and philosophies often fall short in the battle against alcoholism. He candidly discusses how, if these were enough, many would have found recovery a long time ago. But here's the catch: real change requires more than just a shift in thinking; it needs a deeper power.
