Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, diving into the raw and emotional experiences of those battling addiction. Reflecting on the profound struggles faced by addicts, Joe highlights the moments of awakening to the full extent of their actions and the resulting remorse, horror, and hopelessness.

In this session, Joe discusses the feelings of guilt and despair that follow a relapse. “Give yourself the opportunity to bring to consciousness you knew you shouldn’t do it. It’s not safe for me to do it. But now I’ve done it. And I’m waking up, and I’ve really done it. I’ve just run the wheels off this wagon. And I’m waking up now feeling sick. And I’ve let everyone down that was paying attention. Have that experience and tell me if you don’t understand what he’s talking about—the remorse, horror, and hopelessness of the next morning.”

Joe’s discussion sheds light on the relentless inner turmoil faced by those in the grips of addiction while offering a message of hope and the possibility of transformation through the 12-step recovery process. This session emphasizes the importance of reaching out for help and the power of the support found within recovery communities.
