Chris S. "The Frontier of Emotional Sobriety" - AA Speaker - 12-Step Recovery

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2013
- I absolutely love this tape! Chris S. (one of the best AA speakers in my opinion), shares about the all-important topic of emotional sobriety. In his crystal-clear style, he beautifully articulates the sometimes confusing topic of emotional sobriety and the importance of continued growth in recovery. I HIGHLY recommend this talk! :)
From the book Alcoholics Anonymous: "In spite of the great increase in the size and span of this Fellowship, at its core it remains simple and personal. Each day, somewhere in the world, recovery begins when one alcoholic talks with another alcoholic, sharing experience, strength, and hope."
What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a "treatment for alcoholism" or "alcohol abuse?"
From Wikipedia: "A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as 'spiritual principles,' based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism in 1939. The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems."
You can find out more at: www.aa.org - Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site (And as should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with them or any other 12 step program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.)
"Addiction treatment" WORKS! There is addiction help out there and "addiction recovery" is possible. If you are battling "alcohol addiction" there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like!
It is important to note there are several ways for one to address his or her "alcohol abuse treatment." "Substance abuse" is a very serious condition. Many need inpatient stays or counseling. The importance and purpose of this video, and all our other videos, is to show that recovery IS possible and to give hope to those who are struggling with substance abuse issues. Help IS out there! :)
From the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous: "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny."

I have just celebrated 45 years soberity
Nothing helps my sobriety more than being COMPLETELY honest about MY feelings and where they come from...me . TY for your service
Love when God gives you the perfect message at the perfect time
I enjoy hearing Chris speak. It's like hearing someone tell my story. This kept me sober for several wks when I was listening at work and dealing with so many other outside things. I needed to hear things from someone that uses the BB and speaks from their soul. He has a step study with someone also. This has helped me tremendously
This has been a blessing to me to listen to people like me.

I really like this channel. Felt like I was in a meeting. Great share
I am in recovery, but I am so happy that he mentions Allan Holdsworth. Allan was truly the greatest guitar player of all time
can't make many meetings I was introduced to this channel today.. it is what I was looking for.
rusty avrett So grateful to have these resources! Man we have it good 😉
You can get an online sponsor to help take you through the 12 steps. Also as he mentioned Joe & Charlie.
Kelly Nisbett be very careful, when you chose a sponsor, women for women etc, a recovered alcoholic using the BB is my experience of my best chance 🕉

Thank you for sharing Chris from NJ! You gave this Jersey girl a lot of laughs and a few tears. Pathetic drinker- that was me.
Wow! Age six is so young for one to use anything altering the brain. Thanks for sharing. Most helpful for me.
Remarkable story Chris ~ so real & raw. Elated that you stayed and allowed the wall of fear to continue to crumble away. God adores you. Thank-you for this honest message if hope 🙏 💜 But for the Grace of our Father ✝️

I'm back too!
No video? OK. Hmm. I'll close my eyes + listen.
I think I understand; it's an anonymous program.
I hope s.V.o listens to this and Holey.

he couldn't help me across the street
Man this guy is really hard to listen to, love the channel though. I like the speaker meetings more when people don’t make the entire thing about themselves.
