Position of Neutrality: Facing Our Own Intolerance in Step 2 AA Fixing Society Why Complaining Won't Work
Listen now
Description
Join Wayne Giles 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 2 AA session, Wayne touches on a powerful reflection from the Big Book: while we often criticize the world and those trying to fix it, we fail to look at our own shortcomings. We talk about what should be done, but instead of taking action, we mock those who are actually making a difference. “We talked of intolerance while we were intolerant ourselves. We missed the reality and the beauty of the forest because we were diverted by the ugliness of some of its trees.” Wayne encourages participants to recognize the hypocrisy of pointing fingers at others while ignoring their own faults. This session focuses on the need for self-awareness and humility, acknowledging that our judgment of others often reflects our own intolerance. By shifting focus from criticism to action, we can begin to contribute positively to both our own recovery and the world around us. For more content, please like, comment, and share.
