Join Joe McDonald as he dives deeper into the concept that sobriety alone is never enough in recovery. Drawing from the wisdom of the Big Book, Joe illustrates the necessity of going beyond mere abstinence, sharing the analogy of the farmer emerging from his storm cellar to a wrecked home. The real work in recovery starts after the storm has passed. It’s not enough to simply say “I’m sober.” The true transformation lies in the reconstruction phase, where we take the lead in rebuilding our lives, relationships, and sense of self.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, the Big Book emphasizes that sobriety is just the beginning. Joe reminds us that merely being sober doesn’t solve all our problems. True healing and recovery come from engaging in the full process of the 12 Steps, where we take responsibility for our actions and start the journey of making amends. A simple apology isn’t enough; it’s about taking action, leading the way, and participating fully in the reconstruction of our lives. Sobriety opens the door, but it’s the work we do beyond that which brings real change and growth.
