Bob D. - AA Speakers - "Surrender"
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Bob D. does it again and absolutely knocks it out of the park! This is a wonderful tape for newcomers. He explains, in his typical down-to-earth style the nature of "surrender" (a word that gets thrown around in meetings all the time). GREAT talk from one of the best AA speakers ever!
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."
Every tape is carefully selected to ensure its quality and that it is entertaining to listen to. You can trust Odomtology 12-Step Recovery Media to be synonymous with the best online recovery material out there. QUALITY is our mission. That is why we have the large and engaged following that we do. Have fun and enjoy listening to the amazing, wonderful, and powerful recovery speakers!

I SO needed this today! 7 days sober today.🙏
I’m rooting for you 🙌🏻
Thank you !35 days sober today 😊
@Katie Roller Thats awesome!!! First month is the hardest you're on the right track!
@@katieroller4812 congrats!! I hope you are doing well.
Awesome! How are you doing?
I went to my first AA meeting today. I cried the whole way there. I have really messed up my life and I have been listening to this the whole ride home
Great you went to a meeting. Nothing is so bad alcohol can't make it worse. I have lost so much to chasing that shit. I wish you all the best one day at a time. 🙏
Alcoholism got me and AA saved me
❤
We need you buddy, I hope you stay, and find the solution!
It's one day at a time, each day we wake up with untreated alcoholism, do page 86 daily
Ive listened to this many times throughout my time, the first being my 30 days. Picked up my 4 year chip last month
Congrats Will!
That's awesome brother!
Why do you's stick to aa all your lives? You don't need to call yourself an alcoholic when you haven't had a drink in years 🤔 I was a drug addict for 15 years and I'm now a recovered addict and not a recovering one.
@@JG-vs9gg congrats on your recovery! I personally call myself recovering because I am still growing and I have a lot to work on. Recovery looks different to everyone, much love.
@@JG-vs9gg there are many levels to recovery the most obvious and basic staying sober but what about emotional sobriety which is the real disease that goes on many levels so we can recover forever or if you will keep growing emotionally and spiritually forever we hope no one is talking about sobriety once they're already sober a year real recovery is recovery of the spirit
I heard this for the first time in 2019. I’ve listened to it many times since then. 4 months and 24 days. Need to hear this on the regular. Have a sponsor. Working the steps. Asking God to keep me sober in the morning and thanking Him at night.
29 years and I still need this
Ого! Хочешь бухануть?
Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏿

I needed this ive never gotten completely sober i go for like two weeks then binge . Been going on for 3 years now before that i was drinking every single day for 10 years straight i really want to give it up for good its destroyed me my mind my life my health. Please God give the strength to take the steps i need to Get sober For real deliver me from all vices and distractions 🙏
I am praying for you 🙏💖🙏
❤
I'm Praying with you too , one day, or minute at a time. It's not about me, but my fellow mate in pain. Judging, talking about others is not my problem. Keeping silent is so much better than talking about others. Don't try to fix others, just keep yourself loving and helping others, not yourself.
Go to a meeting every day for 90 days, get a sponsor and do what he says, trust the process. Everybody can get sober.
To the 458 people that disliked this " Keep coming back."
Lol
If you didn't ĺike this then you really need to come back. Something is seriously wrong with you

Sarcastic AA cliches dished out to people who disagree. What step is that?
I am not sure if I would still be sober if I only went to meetings when I felt like it and only if I agreed with everyone there. "Keep coming back" is a slogan not a cliche and one I am glad I took to heart.
7 days out of prison & 6 days clean. I need every bit of inspiration I can get rn. Thank u for this video.
6 days clean and sober is fantastic and awesome 👏 I have friends who’ve OD and would give anything to have 6 days! Congratulations on your freedom keep coming back to recovery!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏❤
I hope you are still sober and that you are doing well.
These will keep you sober!
Thank God for these being on here. Helps me so much Saturday will be 30 days clean from herion and all other drugs
That’s awesome, Corey! See you in the rooms 😄
Congrats on your recovery
It Will NOT be easy. I think you can do it. I'm alcoholic. May God be with you and I both🙏
Im 3 days without a drink/drug. This is all I have at 3:40 AM lets get through today Corey.
Beautiful! How’s recovery going Corey? I’m 10 and half months off heroine crack and just about every chemical there is. Recovery is mind blowing if I let go and let god 🙏🏻
Ive been in a lot of pain, God wanted me to hear this!
You are Loved. I'm sorry You were in Pain. How do you feel and how is your recovery now 2 years later?
Pain is required to grow.
@@christenriekert7197 much better thankyou, been working on being my authentic self and its gotten better
@@Brian.8272I hope you are still doing well.
God is good
This talk just saved my life. I was translating this a while ago and stopped and never went back to it... and just this evening as I was feeling seperated, lonely and depressed but couldn't figure out what's happening to me... wanting to disappear and die feeling that the program has failed me - I suddenly decided to listen to this talk again and poof...I'm rethinking step 3... wanting to keep on searching for Him... yearning for a real sense of purpose. Also I finished the translation... Thank you... Mysterious power of the universe.
NoaLives79 love u person
NoaLives79 we all love you. We are you.
Amen
NoaLives79 I keep fighting turning my will and life over to the care of one that loves me. Hmmmm I must be an alcoholic! Haha! Thank God for AA, and thank god for you and other alcoholics that keep reminding where I need to be!
If you don't mind me asking, what language did you translate it to?
I was in AA for a few years and stayed sober. Then I got a job on a cruise ship... when I got the job I was told I could go to the meetings on the ship, but when I got there I was told employees are not allowed to go. I stayed sober for the first 5 month contract but I wasn't happy. I ended up way worse off then before.
I am going to go back to AA tonight. I want to get sober but I don't really like AA anymore, but I don't care I am going back! I need to do the steps again. I need a sponsor, I have to get involved. God please help me do the right things.
I hope you are are well Lence, I'm going back this week as well.
I need to feel that first Spiritual awakening that I had while ago.
God bless you and remember AA there for you
Checking on you Lence. Hope your doing alright. Go to meetings. Look up the set aside prayer.
Easier to stay sober than it is to get sober. AA can be great! Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness is how you do this, right? I find that a good home group helps quite a bit. Feel around when looking, meetings aren't all the same. Besides bad 1st impressions, Imo, I think AA gets a bad wrap from people who half-ass or simply don't work the program. Aside from Gen Pop not having a good grasp on AA in the first place, if you don't get a sponsor to work the steps, you're missing a huge part of the miracle you hear about in AA. Hope you're doing well, Bud!!
Online meetings. I got sober on zoom.
Surrender doesn't mean to run, it means put down your weapons and stop fighting.
I love your comment. Thank you
Bob D’s talks have helped me work my program in so many ways, revealing a little more to each time I listen, letting me humble myself and be a little more vulnerable (even just with myself) a little each time, and this is my go to place between meetings and being with people in the program. Forever grateful for each of you.
Saturday will be 30 days for me clean i need these type of videos they help so much! This is the first time ive ever wanted to be clean im in treatment right now pray for me . Sobriety date 12.27.18
I had 90 days yesterday :)
@@coreyward6937
Hello corey my name is Brian and I'm definitely an alcoholic. I hope that you are doing OK and if you're still recovering until you're
recovered. If this makes any sense..I try to get to as many meetings a week if I can and when I can't make it I spend time with some of AA literature and these speaker tapes are a big help. I usually get one with some humour
Hey if I'm sober I may as well have a laugh I didn't laugh much when I was a drunk
There really wasn't much to laugh at. I will never forget the years of sadness but i don't think about the past much anymore I have a new beautiful life now and I never thought life was worth living.
Anyway stay strong and if you are doing well let us know. And keep on keeping on.
Well done!
WOW! what a great speaker thank you BOB! i had one year on 12/8/14 Thank you Alcoholics Anonymous
My year was 12/9/14. The day after. Congrats and hope you have kept going on the path. God bless.
Hope you both are still going strong
I love how he talks about easy it is for the ego to resurrect itself. That we could go from totally desperate, “God help me,” to “hey, I got this all figured out, but hey, look at that loser over there.” Surrender to kill the ego, great message.
Been there. Hence im trying to surrender
My ego is not my amigo!
Oh, I know that one
I got back in AA about 24 days ago. I found a very strong sponsor who is helping me work the steps just as the big book instructs. What a huge difference it’s making in my life. I’m profoundly grateful
Jesus did it all
Alcoholism is the worst shit I've ever experienced. Sobriety to me was far from the pain of drinking. Glad you're back and hope you're still here. I drank also until near death
Keep going brother! Give up the fight and do the steps!
Great share thanks
I am humbled to read you’re back.
You don’t even need to be an alcoholic to of gotten something out of this message. How wonderful this message was for me
I'm nearly 7 month clean,and only just realised that I have all these similarities and have be so in me that I got opionated and judgmental, so thank you,I know I need to be kind and loveing to ALL,THANK YOU GOD 🙏
Agreed
Agreed. I’m not an alcoholic but I do relate to the emotional struggles and find great value in these talks
Amen. The Twelve Steps are a Design for Living that absolutely EVERYONE could benefit from.
Any spiritually broken human needs to hear this. Surrendering piece by piece.
Who in 2022
Ok this is absolutely one of the best things I have ever heard. Take the time to listen to this and take notes. Lord deliver me from the bondage of self……
Day 1 again. Lost it all. I surrender.
What's going on today
Thank you so much. Feeling down today. Struggling. This helped tremendously.
Eric Raiber me too! Love listening to him he makes it so simple
If/when those "feelings" arise, I've found it very beneficial to do a mini-4th Step--in WRITING and then proceed to the 5th-9th Steps. Eventually those feelings will cease having power over your thoughts/actions...they may return but not with the power they once had. Try it!
I love listening to Bob D......I can relate 💯% to everything he talks about in his talks....I relapsed after 15 months and now I'm on day 3 clean from all substances and listening to this helps me so soon much.... getting clean it's not easy but it's possible... Plz God 🙏🏻🙏🏻 help me and help all my brother's & sisters who are struggling with this disease of alcaholism/addiction Ameeen🙏🏿🙏🙏🏻🙏🏿
How are you doing Big???
I hope you are getting well
it's hard for us to go through early Sobriety
but it is so worth it.. you had 15 months which is good so you know what it feels like..
You CAN do it,, millions of us are sober today
through AA.. God bless you one day at a time...
Go to a meeting .one day at a time
I've listened to this 5 times now. Love it!
I listen to this constantly..keeps it fresh. Beginning thinking..basics
I'm putting it on the repeats list.
77 days alcohol free thanks to my higher power.
there is no pain except the pain from resistance to accept life on life terms
Thats great! It was the one thing, that he said, that i went back to listen to again!
What we resist, persists!
I’m so full of pain because I can’t see my daughter- she’s in the UK and I live in Taiwan. Taiwan won’t let her come back because of Covid-19. I’m living proof that pain is caused by my resistance to accept life on life’s terms. I find it so hard to surrender to God’s will. I k Le I’m not alone. 💕
@@suesjoy i could feel you pain praying that you could see her
Bridge?
1 week today
I've been clean in NA for 40 months today. I dont do AA and I dont care to.
With that said. This is the best share I ever heard in my life. This is just amazing.
I do more na than AA, even though I started in AA, but this speaker is the best I've ever heard in either Fellowship
@@rockyhaggard8179 yes sir. I stick with NA for everything else though. Sponsor. Hg. Steps. Philosophy.
You just 'did' AA by listening.
In the elation of my sobriety comes the realisation of my actions 🙏
This man has AND IS A GIFT TO ALL OF US
My sixth consecutive meeting is tommorow. I'm in very early days - I keep lapsing, because I just can't imagine a life without being under influence. But this man is a legend. I think I'm on my way as I'm willing to slowly but surely learn. He is able to explain the AA philosophies so well and with humour, which never goes amiss. I'm so grateful that I found bobs talks
God bless you! I hope all is going well still. I hope you find a great sponsor that will guide you through these steps!!! Keep going ♥️
Glad you are here. Maybe you need to get to the point where you can’t see a life without or a life with. That’s what it took for me. Keep showing up
Keep coming back, this really works, there's so much God can offer you , there is a solution
This is just what I needed to hear. Going on 7 months of sobriety. Surrender really wasn't in my vocabulary until now. God bless us all.
God bless you Heather
How's it going my friend
Heather hopefully you are well I am wondering if your still sober, the low rate is amazing I now have 3 years much happiness to you
@@stevenm2526 yes I am still sober. 4 yrs 2 months. I belong to the no matter what we don't drink. I lost my beautiful 33 yrs old daughter 21 months ago to an overdose I still didn't pickup.
@@heatherarsenault4242 I am so so sorry about your daughter, it is so shitty how this disease works and all the new drugs these kids do not have a chance. Glad you are still sober, much health and happiness
I have five days clean from meth. I can use the strength in my recovery.
This just prevented a relapse frfr
THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY WILLIAM ROGERS.
Woweeeeee!!! Thatz what the meetings do, PREVENT!
ITZ about PREVENTION
Stay strong. Really glad you decided to come here and look for something helpful and so much more glad you found this and it did help. TH-cam can be an amazing tool ;-)
Keep coming back it works if you work it one day at a time 👍🏼🙏🏻🤗
Thank you Bob! Just what I needed to hear at this point in my sobriety (20 years). Surrender Judgement and Opinion! I need to continually work the steps. Thank you GOD
One of the best talks on surrender that ties into step one, Bob really gets it and what he is talking about the inner conflicts is not just for Alcoholics.
I’m an atheist in AA. I’m sober thanks to the fellowship, no buffet god. I’m glad your personal gods are in the rooms cause that invisible being helps you and you help me. ✌🏼and ❤️.
Amazing how in need you are guided to the exact thing which speaks directly to your problem...Thank you God. I'm 45 days sober, dragging my feet on working on step 4, and having just 2 days ago celebrating my first birthday at my home groups birthday night where we celebrated over 150 years of sobriety and 2 30 day birthdays.
Last night at work I felt a strange strong craving...as if there was a litteral hole in me. I prayed and resumed work. Today it's on me again and it's what is described in this talk....the self will reasserting in my life. I'm going to call my sponsor then make a meeting...I'll be there Early so I can work on my 4th step In a safe and peaceful place...I'm cleaning a rental at the moment and in the fridge is a 12 pack left behind...just staring at me.
Thankfully it just going to stay there.
Thank you God for my sobriety.
Awesome speaker he understands the disease at a deep level thanks Bob
By the grace of GOD I’m clean and sober since 1988 . Great job to the speaker .
He is speaking live on Zoom tomorrow night at 7pm on Zoom, 5767698313 meeting ID. no password needed. step 11
Suffering sometimes in my life was so overpowering as to drown out all hope. But when I asked for help from an AA person he stepped in and took me to a meeting and as I listened to the stories of these recovering men I saw there was a chance for a new way of life.
I saw it in the animated faces of men helping other men find their courage to change one day at a time.
Thanks Bob D.
You can always tell an alcoholic, but you cant tell him much. #loveit #thanksBob
Thing i love about Bob D is his uncanny way of saying things that Ive only ever thought, if that makes sense? Lol great speaker. Thank you Bob!
This is my favorite share!
Yeah. He read my mind too.
Thanks for pointing out to me that the problem has always been "me" ... what a relief to know! Thank you!
You got it quite right.
My sponsor always told me to not go in my head unsupervised!
I love it that's great oh, my name is Mary Beth and I'm suffering terribly from Sirius cocaine addiction in grief. Good I am overwhelmed. I've had sobriety in the past. I know the promise is a real and true. But I just can't seem to break this obsession I think my son is also an addict. And very aggressive, can disrespectful toward me.
Funny
🤣🤣
So relate
the truth will set you free but i say it will ruin your day first 43:19
Right now I'm going through a tough time and am waiting for a bed in an inpatient treatment center. I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what else to do. I just want God to take my will and my life
We have to give it before he can take it.
Hey Jon, how are you ? Did you pay a visit at any AA near you ?
I hope you are ok
@@rudycarv2197 I went into treatment in San Angelo Texas and now reside in an Oxford House here. I am currently working a program of recovery and have a home group and a sponsor and hope to return to the treatment center soon to share my experience strength and hope with others🥰
@@djjonbsatx Great to hear that, I'm sure people will benefit to hear your experience.
I was Sober for over a year then stop going in the meeting then I went to a leaving party and when I saw I had drink on me since then my life went out of track. I get back to meetings this week.
Bed time for me now here In England is hours ahead than there I believe.
All the best to you 😊🙏👍
@@rudycarv2197 just hang in there and reach out to those around you that are a positive influence in your life! We can do this journey but only a day at a time🙏
Thank God for AA.
One of the more effective parabolic speakers i have ever been blessed to hear

+lethal army v2 apalzl
No toes were stepped on in Sweden, I was there from England and it was fantastic. You lit th place up Bob 💛🙏
Today I was feeling really miserable (again), and suddenly I missed Bob's voice. He calms me down.
hands down the best breakdown of the problem of alcoholism ive ever heard
Was just thinking that
There are others who carry great messages about alcoholism: try listening to Peter Marinelli, Keith Lewis, Scott Lee, Chris Raymer, Sandy Beach or Joe Hawk.
He nails it! Describes who i thought was only me!
August 24, 2019, bob d and my sponsor have helped me stay sober 1 more day, thank you universe.
My notes of the day.
Deciding that somebody was / is sick does not have to be a condemnation or an unkind, unloving decision. It is simple wisdom. It is a way to "let go and let God" handle that person.
So I surround myself on a regular basis intimately with people who have surrendered and seriously want the 12 Steps: one step, one day at a time. . . and with those who have already been devotedly working the Steps.
Your 12 Step work will be a reflection of the five people most involved in your mental life. The essence of their wisdom, attitudes and passions matched with their activities. (The authors you read. The tapes you listen to. The music. The videos. The news channels. The phone chats, texts, emails, lunches, barbeque, evening entertainments with pals you connect with. It's all profoundly impacting your own shit. . .good or bad. Like it or not..
🙏
This video saved my life for 58 minutes!
Good for you. I've given up.
I'm trying to surrender always thinking I can beat the odds
There is hope brothers and sisters
jerry hernandez amen
"Everything you've been using to fix yourself has worn off and there's nothing left." Boy can I relate! I got sober at the age of 20 and, since then, I've hit many emotional bottoms in recovery. I'm so happy to see these videos on here. I've just started recording recovery content for youtube myself. I've haven't considered putting one of my leads on here like this. Maybe I should.
20 is the best time to get sober!!
@@ashleydanielle3111 The best time to get sober is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.
Please do put your content on. You might be saving a life.
Been in and out of AA, jails, rehabs for 30 years. Got two DUIs in Feb after taking my prescription Xanax (which I’ve been taking for years) and blacked out for ten days. Woke up in the hospital ten days later. I remember no part of the ten days. Might be going back to jail.
My lifetime attempt to rely on God (the Christian version) has collapsed after I finally heard the truth about religion. There probably was no Jesus. Which invalidates the entire religion. Now I laugh at myself for ever trying to believe that nonsense to begin with.
Maybe I never have surrendered either. Everyone in AA has different explanations for things. People in AA agree on virtually nothing but that never stopped me from trying to do the program. Sponsors, steps, service, etc. Been to treatment centers.
I don’t see any hope anymore. AA meetings and AA people generally make me feel worse about things. And worse about myself. Because I can’t stay clean and sober.
I’m not even going to AA anymore.
I still talk to some AA friends but can’t take the meetings. I don’t really want to be the example of what not to do. I really have given up hope that AA can help me.
I feel hopeless.
I wish I could just die. I’m tired of fighting this. I’m so tired of being tied to this disease. Of being a slave to this whole dynamic.
So hard. Sending good vibrations and prayers
"The problem is me and my perception of things"... you hit the nail on the coffin
On the 25th. I'll have 90 days sober.
I really wish I had Bob for a sponsor or could get in touch with him; his sponsees are so lucky to have such a man in their lives.
Listening at work great still struggling with life but this is helping
Do you mean bob that founded the organization decades ago
If I’m not in a meeting, I listen to speaker on TH-cam cause without even listening or being at a meeting my head that goes a different way so I really need to listen to these speakers and go to meetings because I don’t wanna go down again. I had 12 years my first drink. I am 15 years later. I’m back in the program but I knew where to go to and that was the gift that I received 15 years.
I know the truth when I hear it. And, Bob is telling the truth. It hits very close to home.
I'm coming up on 6 months sober, I listened to this surrender tape about 20 times trying to convince my head to surrender to the steps again. Bob's tapes mean alot to me and am very greatful to have some with so many similar problems and experiences
@James Topham yes I am still sober
Life saving information in these talks. I am grateful. Thank you.
owe i have listened i died a thousand deaths of the bottle but i live
Wow-thank you Bob D and AA. Life saving. Yes.
This guy nails it. When he talks about feelings when your new and being locked up in your head.
3 years sober now. Amazing I am struggling with a low spot and making changes I am a work in progress 🙌
thank god i can listen to this man what ever it is i can relax and know i will be ok thankyou bob
Ditto
47 days!
I am in BONDAGE of Self.... I need a Sponsor that can work the Steps out of the Big Book...
hey michael how are you ?? have you had any luck finding a sponsor
No, I cant find anyone that knows the book. ;(
Michael B Eskew
Listen to joe and Charlie big book study. It's great. Then stick with the winners
I couldn't really either at first. Sometimes it's more important to be a good sponsee than to have the best sponsor.
ASK GOD TO DIRECT YOU TO THE RIGHT SPONSOR FOR YOU. THERE ARE SPONSORS AND IT IS A BIG WORLD.
Great Honesty and what am example. Thank you ALL !
May you ALWAYS have peace and love in your hearts 💖 💖💖💖
Today I am sober.
Day 2. Thanks for sharing you ESH.
Whose listening in 2021? No one delivers the message quite like Bob!!
Sober again since 9.28.23, after relapsing after having (15) years!!! Ugh ugh, haven’t given up, though considered ugh… haven’t listened to “talks” in ages though went to lots of AA meetings - this talk is profound!! Think I’ll listen more and more as my sponsor always has…he with 35 years sobriety!!
I feel your pain and I'm so sorry. I relapsed 5 months ago after 11 years of sobriety. But this time it was liquor and fentanyl. About 6 years in my alcoholism had convinced me that I didn't need to keep doing the very things and actions that gave me an incredible life. Stopped going to my home group stopped calling my sponsor stopped surrounding myself with other alcoholics and most importantly I stopped praying. By the grace of God I didn't die and I'm back in the fellowship and I'm back with that same sponsor and I'm not giving up my seat. Love you
14 yrs sober and im struggling right now! So here I am not knowing what to do. And bam ill listen to some speakers! Somthing I used to do all the time. From this day forward I will listen everyday every chance I get to get out of my own head! Thank god for putting this into my head today! And thank all of you too. 🙏 Amen and God is great!
i felt energy run up my spine and an atomic bomb go off 111 days sober
You give me hope
I am grateful of this message. Thank you for sharing and allowing me to participate in a much needed meeting during my job search.
I am so glad I listened to you. Really think you are real! Have really made me see myself clearly. Thank you for your honesty. Is so inspiring! Love this talk!
Too many non alcoholics , but heavy drinkers, in AA nowadays.
I have to have a spiritual solution. 😎
I AGREE TODD, WE ALL NEED THE SPIRITUAL SOLUTION THAT UNFOLDS WITHIN US AS WE PRACTICE THE 12 STEPS.
You dont have to do anything. You surrender. But thats not me
I needed to hear this.i related to alot of what this guy is saying while the ppl in the background laughed I didn't and it resonated with me alot.going on 2 months clean and this helped alot
Hey Bob D. I used your "talk" for my IOP group, very effective. Thanks, Bob V.
Bobby. So sorry to hear about Kandra. Very sad!!
I agree Michael it is good to hear from you and I hope you are well
All is good. Still in shock. Take care.
Thank you Im also in the program, because off alkoholisme in my family. been working with the program for 9 years, and Im so greatefull for my recovery. Big Thank You, Bob and AA.
My man said "when I get sober it's gets worst but when I watch you get sober it looks wonderful" 😂...I love all of you alcoholics in these comments. I hope everyone is well. I hope this video gave you hope the same as it did me. Hang in there please, you are not alone I promise you that.
I'm eleven years
Congratulations I just hit 24 and I’m so glad to be alive to see my family grow and grandson that literally makes sobriety easy for me because I finally worked the program 🙏🏻🤗Congratulations Wanda Rose 🌹
This video changed my life. Thank you so much
The 627 people who disliked this video are most likely still miserable or relapsed
Found this when I was still using today I have over 900 days sober and in two days I'll have 2.5 years sober! I love God, this program, and this life of sobriety!
Well done we all have to surrender happy sobriety and best wishes to you chio brenda
Beautiful speech. Thanks for this
I had burnt my life to the ground ... one more time ... felt that.
Bob D. I have been in and out AA since 1989- 2019. I have allowed myself to run the show through my insecurities for all this time. you are a beacon of reality. God Bless you.
Simone, “The most satisfactory years of your existence lie ahead”. (Page 152 of the Big Book) Absolutely true! My mantra is simple, “Live in the problem, or live in the solution”. Best wishes to you!

Awesome speaker I been sober for 9 years now went through the steps just learning this need to apply this everyday
It is baffling to me how this man and other speakers like when Sandy Beach was around... how they can talk for so long and say valuable thing after valuable thing. I could probably ramble for 15 min...lol
