Joe McDonald brings a refreshing and humorous perspective to the often serious journey of recovery in his podcast, Position of Neutrality. In this episode, Joe shares an amusing anecdote from a recent road trip that perfectly illustrates the principles of Steps 10 and 11 in Alcoholics Anonymous. During an unexpected detour caused by an emergency, Joe finds himself at a rest area, frustrated and annoyed.
However, his mood lightens when he notices a comically dilapidated truck and trailer, prompting him to take a photo for a laugh. This moment of levity serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of maintaining perspective and finding humour even in inconvenient situations. Through his story, Joe emphasises the spiritual growth that comes with practicing these steps - learning to handle life's bumps with grace, humour, and acceptance.
