Position of Neutrality: Embracing the Past and Finding Serenity in Steps 10 & 11 AA Understanding Addiction Finding Peace in the Past
- <1m
About this episode
Join Joe McDonald as he reflects on the promise of not regretting the past nor wishing to shut the door on it, as outlined in Steps 10 and 11 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains that through recovery, we learn that our addiction was not a curse but a calling—our worst experiences can now be used to alleviate the suffering of others. He highlights the words “comprehend” and “know,” emphasizing that serenity is not something we comprehend but something we recognize as a state of being. Joe also explores what it means to truly “know” peace and how that knowledge transforms us. In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 10 encourages us to reflect on our past actions and admit when we are wrong, while Step 11 strengthens our connection with our Higher Power, helping us experience serenity and peace. Joe reminds us that by accepting our past and finding purpose in it, we gain the peace that comes from living in alignment with our spiritual path.
