In this insightful exploration of Step 1 from the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, Joe McDonald delves into the transformative journey from darkness to light, illustrating the profound shift that occurs when embracing recovery. Reflecting on a pivotal passage, Joe highlights the moment of clarity that precedes the awakening into a new dimension of existence.
Joe recounts, “How dark it is before the dawn. In reality, that was the beginning of my last debauch. I was soon to be catapulted into what I like to call the fourth dimension of existence.” He explains this concept further, “We hear people talking about being rocketed into a fourth dimension. He’s talking about a fourth dimension of existence where I don’t live in worry or remorse. I’m here and now, not there and out here.”
This transformative experience is described as a journey to a state of being where happiness, peace, and usefulness are deeply felt and continue to grow over time. Joe’s discussion sheds light on the promise of recovery and the incredible potential for a more wonderful way of life.
“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” This first step is crucial in recognizing the need for change and the possibility of a new existence.
