    I will never forget when he said "if you ever have to rationalize, explain, or justify what you are doing, you are wrong!! Cause never have justify nor explain what you are doing that is right." I will live by this through my recovery!!! Thank you Bob D. And God bless you fam.

    I am Margot and I am an alcoholic. I love this message, it took me eleven years to surrender to Step One and get it completely. I celebrate my one year on Feb. 25 2015, If you are here, and struggling, keep coming back. It works. A simple program, but don't confuse simple with easy. Love to all my friends in the fellowship and thank you to AA and my HP for my sobriety. My medallion says one word WE. Without the W E I couldn't do it.

    The interesting thing about this video is that he described me so well as a drinker, quitting jobs, putting alcohol ahead of priorities, family, friends, etc. But what I realized also was that many of my "friends" are in the advanced stages of alcoholism as well and this constant cycle and ruining their own friendships one by one. I have also realized that many of my "friends" were never friends, just drinking buddies. I started seeing me separate myself from them while drinking and them separating themselves from me probably for the same reasons.

    all

      @melissamccall709 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That is something I believe as well. So many meetings that I have gone to, AA and NA, and they are so closed minded about this. I am planning on trying to educate people on this concept.

      Alcoholism is different than drug addiction. There is a distinct separation. However I do think the same twelve steps and relationship with God is the solution to either
