Our real purpose is to fit ourselves, to be of maximum service to god and the people about us.
What does it take to truly embrace the middle steps of the AA Program? In this episode of 'The Big Book Podcast', Howard L. dives into Chapter 6 - INTO ACTION - from the Second Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous. This chapter is your go-to guide for working through the 5th to the 11th steps, offering a roadmap filled with practical advice and timeless wisdom.
Despite the brief treatment of steps 6 and 7 in the Big Book, these two steps have sparked much discussion among AA members. Howard L. highlights how these concise paragraphs have been expanded upon in other AA literature, particularly in 'Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions', where each step gets its own detailed chapter. As you listen, you'll hear about the importance of house-cleaning and making amends quickly, two vital components for anyone serious about their recovery.
The role of prayer and meditation in step 11 is also emphasized, reminding us all of the need for spiritual grounding. Howard L.'s narration brings out the essential qualities needed for recovery: humility, willingness, and rigorous honesty. These aren't just words on a page; they're principles that have helped countless individuals reclaim their lives from the grip of alcoholism.
Whether you're new to AA or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers valuable insights that are as relevant today as they were when the Big Book was first published. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these crucial steps and find inspiration for your own path to sobriety.
