But if you've struggled or you've remained sober but miserable, they're going to witness to you a liberation from yourself, so you're finally free to be yourself right.
Ever felt confused about the difference between 'program' and 'fellowship' in Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald clears up the confusion with his insightful discussion on these two crucial aspects of recovery. Joe explains that the 'program' refers to the steps outlined in the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous', which are designed to guide individuals on their journey to sobriety.
On the other hand, 'fellowship' is about the community and meetings that provide support and camaraderie among members. Joe emphasizes that merely attending meetings doesn’t mean one is 'in the program'. To truly experience liberation and be free to be oneself, it's essential to follow the steps suggested in the book. This episode isn't about being strict or legalistic; it's about helping those who might be struggling or feeling unfulfilled despite being sober.
Joe's heartfelt message is a reminder that by embracing both the program and fellowship, individuals can find a sense of freedom and authenticity. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into achieving genuine personal growth and inner peace.
