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 reflects on the experience many people in recovery share—realizing that the path they’ve been following may not align with what the first 100 members of AA intended. He emphasizes how easy it can be to disappear from the recovery process when we don’t fully follow the instructions laid out by those who have successfully recovered. The first 100 AA members spoke of “thoroughly” following their path. Joe reminds us that this is not just about abstinence—it’s about walking the path of spiritual recovery outlined in the Big Book. If we veer from that path or don’t commit to the full process, we can lose sight of the progress we’re making. Recovery is not a casual undertaking; it requires earnestness, action, and a willingness to engage with the full set of instructions provided by those who came before us. This focus on following a singular path resonates deeply within both Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE). The shared experience of the first 100 members—and their message of hope and recovery—provides the foundation for all those who come after them. Joe’s message today is a powerful reminder that recovery requires a wholehearted commitment to the steps and the spiritual principles that guide us along the way.
