Position of Neutrality: Power Greater Than Ourselves in Step 4 AA Finding Strength in Unity Overcoming Struggles Together
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 4 AA session, Wayne explores the need for a power greater than ourselves to overcome the destructive patterns of self-will. He reminds us how often we step on the toes of others, only to face retaliation, trapped in a cycle we cannot will away on our own. Wayne emphasizes that true freedom comes through surrender, service, and spiritual accountability. As the Big Book suggests, we must recognize that our own efforts are not enough—we need the help of a higher power to break free from the struggles of self-will. The prayer, “Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to Thy power, Thy love, and Thy way of life,” reflects our desire to be of service and to find true purpose in helping others. In both Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Interactive Step Experience (ISE), this surrender to a higher power is essential for spiritual growth and transformation. By letting go of our selfishness, we gain the strength to advocate for others and walk in the spirit of recovery. For more content, please like, comment, and share.
