- I don't think there is any other speaker who talks about the 3rd tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous quite like Clancy I. of California! He has an INCREDIBLY funny and entertaining way of explaining one of the most controversial and debated topics within all 12 Step fellowships. Hats off to Clancy for taking this topic on and explaining it in the most concise, eloquent way possible! :)
Addiction treatment WORKS! The Twelve Step Model has been utilized as a treatment for alcohol abuse and alcoholism since 1935. It is extremely important to know that help IS out there and addiction recovery is possible. If you are battling alcoholism, drug addiction, addiction or any other form of addictive behavior, there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like!
You can find out more at: www.aa.org - Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site - As should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with them or any other Twelve Step Program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.
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 and has become an epidemic in today's world. Many people suffering with substance abuse need treatment, such as inpatient stays, rehab, 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 alcohol and drug addiction issues. Help IS out there! :)
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."

AA is not only for alcoholics. Clancy himself will tell you of a certain meeting called "The Santa Monica Way of Life Group" meeting , in which friends and family, all of whom are non alcoholic , are invited to give anniversary or birthday people celebrating another year of sobriety a cake with candles to be blown out.
Open meetings are for anyone to audit. Closed meetings are only for those identifying themselves as alcoholics.
+heavensbutterflies But the ailment that AA is intended to treat is alcoholism. While others are welcome to attend open meetings, it is the process of one alcoholic helping another alcoholic that makes it work. Singleness of purpose is an important component of AA's ability to work and is critical to the process of identification. AA isn't intended to treat over eaters, gamblers, the families of alcoholics, other addictions etc. There are other groups for those things. AA's primary purpose is for alcoholics to Stay sober and to help other Alcoholics achieve sobriety(through identification). That was the point of his talk. Give it a re-listen as he makes that pretty clear. But yes, having family celebrate another year of sobriety with you is always a nice change from the way we used to live our lives and thats a great thing to do at open meetings. :)
That Group is NOT AA!
Darryl what would you know about the “ way of live” meeting betcha you never attended the meeting
NO i never attended the meeting. If its a OPEN meeting im all for it. But its not AA. Read the long form of tradition 3 and you will see what i mean
