Join Joe McDonald as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 3 AA session, Joe delves into the moment where we stand at the turning point—when we ask for the protection and care of a higher power with complete abandon. This prayer marks a crucial spiritual step, especially for those who come into the program as atheists or agnostics, offering a bridge to faith for those who may not yet fully understand or trust in a higher power. Joe emphasizes the transformative power of this step. The authors of the Big Book tell us that we cannot continue on the path of recovery without surrendering our will. By asking for protection and care, we begin to turn away from self-will and toward a power greater than ourselves, which is critical for achieving sobriety and maintaining long-term recovery. Step 3 allows us to let go of fear and embrace a new sense of spiritual safety, grounded in trust that if we follow the principles of the Big Book, we will get better. “We stood at the turning point. We asked His protection and care with complete abandon.” This simple yet profound prayer signifies our willingness to change, to trust in the process, and to begin our recovery in earnest.
