  • Recorded a few months ago, this talk by Bob D. is an instant classic! With his usual captivating style Bob shares aspects of his story that changed his whole attitude and outlook on life. Clancy I. talk about alcoholism being a disease of perception and Bob certainly echos that sentiment in this INCREDIBLE share! He also goes in to more detail on some of my favorite stories he tells from the podium. This is a superb recovery share, and be prepared to have an experience in recovery that is timeless and powerful!
    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.

TBH a lot of leg pain due to being hit by a car in 2014 that I live with daily and a deteriorating heart. some days good some days bad. And I'm losing the last of my sight due to retinitis pigmentosa. Sorry, but you asked! But in everything I do, grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, etc. when it's done I always say "Thank you God." I have MUCH to be greatful for and wouldn't trade my life for anyone's. God and AA gave me that. 42 years sober and counting. Thanks for asking!

    Bob you're describing my LIFE to me. I'm 12 years sober through the Grace of God, but I had a short drinking career. People here in Ireland don't talk about this stuff enough, the ISM the way the disease talks to you in your own voice. it IS baffling.

    Bob D. I have heard a number of your TH-cam speaking postings - you speak TRUTH!!! I can so relate to what you share and it is NOT shared ENOUGH in the rooms. Alcohol/Drugs were my solution to my problem with ME and with LIFE. Once I stopped drinking and using I had to find A POWER GREATER THAN I WAS for my solution to heal me and to deal with life. Thanks for your MESSAGE! The steps and the program and service and sponsorship and going to meetings all together used at the same time is our solution! You gotta have em all to heal one day at a time!

      Bob D, Mark Houston, Sandy Beach..just some among many that by the Grace of a Higher Power have received the same perfect amount of love given to anyone who calls on God for help. Ol Chuck said it in everyone of his talks/shares..."we are all God's kids." Anyone seeking a better way of life thru the work of AA can find it. It is all about the "work, work, work !". My story is reflects living in the 1,2 3 - 10,11 & 12 everyday. Includes prayer, meditation, doing the next right thing, constant maint. conscious contact and working hard at not letting hipocracy creep into the work being done. Get you some.
