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.
