- Very powerful workshop by one of my favorite AA speakers, Polly P. One of the great things about this set of talks is that they go more in-depth about TONS of topics pertinent to recovery. LINK to Part 2: • Polly P. - AA Speakers...
This workshop by Polly is life-changing and extremely powerful! It covers way too many topics to list here, but this is a MUST LISTEN for sure for anyone in recovery from alcoholism!
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!
Every tape is carefully selected to ensure its quality and that it is entertaining to listen to.

I went to my first AA meeting at 59 years old, separated from my wife, living in an old RV in a friend's back yard, hopelessly drifting from one drunk directly into the next. I had even given up on suicide and threw away the noose I carried in the back of my car for months because I didn't even deserve the peace of death. I am now happier than I knew a human being can be, living a life of Kindness, Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Respect. Hitting bottom was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Thank you Jonathon Hathaway. I was once a Hathaway .When I married my first high school sweet heart. His name was John Hathaway. He's passed now from this awful disease. When I saw John drinking himself to death,it woke me up. I did not want my life to be like John's. I'm almost 6 years sober now. By the Grace of God. Learning to live on life's terms. And became willing to surrender my will to the Holy Spirit s. We are connected. We are never alone. Ask Him to reveal himself to you and God will.Never give up. Love always wins. Glory to God
Wow!! What a gift! I'm truly happy for you!
Hey!

I’m grateful to be in this sponsorship line.
I would not be here today without Polly P, Jill W, and Beth G. I always love to hear Polly's talks, but she is even more wonderful in person. I am so grateful for what these three ladies gave so freely to me.
Thank you Polly. I heard my story so many times. AA saved my life.
She covers it all including relationships and giving your kids to god. Gentle, graceful, a woman to emulate. Thank you Polly, you are so beautiful.
This is sooo me I'm absolutely blown away from the father being a raging alcoholic flipping the furniture he never laid a hand on my mother but he was always in those moods you got to watch out for those moods I'm proud to say my dad has been clean and sober for 15 years.. I'm so relieved in away thanks so much God bless this beautiful woman ❤️🙏❤️🙏 I've been this way for sooo long I've been really been tortured by my thoughts and feelings and this is spot-on the way I am is my perception and I've been realizing that the last few months that you know what maybe these thoughts and feelings are not real because it just seemed way too often and it consumes me and I've been praying so hard and I just turned one of my I've been watching videos on TH-cam and this just came on after I was struggling with intrusive thoughts and feelings and worries and my perception even like I always think people are upset or I feel like I can read people's minds for crying out loud it's absolutely crazy nonsense I always think I know what people are thinking and feeling and what moves are in and this and that and that in this and just constant fear I'm just full of fear I'm driven by fear and I've been cleaning sober dry clean and sober and spiritually absolutely broken and sick the five years that I've been sober so I'm glad I'm finally moving forward and understanding this whole send in a better way the clearer way thank God Amen apologize if anyone reads this I use talk and text, ❤️🙏😊 this woke me up in away I can't even describe... I've been suffering for so long sober for 5 years suffering and I mean suffering more than I've ever suffered in my life paralyzed crippled with anxiety fear I barely go out I barely do anyting because of my brain taking control over me my feelings taking control over me that are all negative negative and false but I am choosing to give in and believe them... I hope and pray to Father God that I can relieve and he can take these old Nature's out of me Cricket permanently I no longer blind and I can see please and thank you Father God Amen I know I'm spiritually mentally broken and I definitely is sponsoring to do the steps I'm willing and ready I've been looking for a sponsor for months now I want someone that's going be Stern with me that is many years recovered and that I can definitely identify with I hope and pray to you father God that I you put a good sponsor into my life and people in my life that can help me so one day I can help others and do your will thank you Father God I love you we love you hallelujah amen❤️🙏❤️🙏I
I love this talk. What a wonderful lady
This lady is spot on!!! Only 23 minutes in and I truly identify with so much she has said.
We're subject to change with out notice!! This very moment I've once again changed the combination on. MY. Brain and given it to My God of my understanding thanks Polly I truly needed to hear this tonight thank you!!
I’m currently the lead guitarist in a nyhc, punk band…. My band members brought my drinking to my attention the other week…. Between their support and the support of online Alcohol Anonymous I’m on the road to recovery…. 1 day at a time I’m reconnecting with the marc who could have a good time without alcohol and slowly coming to terms with the fact have disease….
I am connecting with the version of myself that had fun without alcohol, too, and it's great! Just over 9 months sober now, and my world is opening up again. Keep coming back, Marc!
OH MY WORD! PERFECTIONISM! TERRIFIED TO MAKE A MISTAKE! That's me! If you didn't make a bunch of mistakes today then you not doing enough. What a way to break it down. Powerful!
Omg so powerful!!! thank you Polly for your service ❤
Just came across this march 2023 and it's helped me realize so much. Thank you 🙏
I love Polly P. I dont what I do for my girls, but I do know what they do for me and they absolutely save my LIFE...Polly P.
One of my favorite lines!!!
Polly, this is the first time listening to this recording of you speaking, giving a workshop for your 2nd time ever. You were amazing then and are amazing now, Oct. 2021. When you spoke, you and Dave were married only 12 years. Today, it's just turned 40. I know that because my Guyana and I will celebrate 40 in Mar. 2022. God bless you and Dave. ❤🤗😍
Hello...I'm curious to know what year it was that Polly gave this talk please 🙏 and I think from looking at your post, you may be able to help me !
This woman is just amazing 🥰🥰❤
I am listening to her for the first time in England and I feel flooded with hope and serenity..this share is definitely a gift I need to hear today 🙏 ❤
God Bless xx
Gosh, this was over 25 years ago and it's like this lady knows me! Very wise and insightful
Pollys truth is ruining my day, but enjoying it
@@MegBHikes I think Jordan is expressing his sense of humor rather than relating any criticism. I suggest you have a levity transplant… x and stop taking yourself so seriously. Recovery is all about the joy of sobriety and the luxury it affords us to laugh at ourselves.
I got to meet Polly right after her husband died. I literally met her the day Dave died. She’s a Saint
So very grateful for this talk!
It's so nice to know that your not just a Child of God but your one of God's servant as well. Being there for those who are still suffering but also your there for thise who are lost at any cost. Just as God was and is there for you so be it with you in doing God's Will. Andrew.B one of Hods very own.
I have a disease about perception. Exactly. Thank you Polly 💕
Very honest and relatable.
Much love Polly I can only imagine your detox, thanks for sharing. I was on a small hand full of blues (vallium 10s) and booze everyday for years and my detox was hell. But I got help and I got through it and I got clean with God's help. Living with sanity is so much worth it now. ❤
Absolutely love this women 🙌. I listen to her all the time.... her sharing has helped me so much so thank you polly ❤️
So many great lessons
life changing ! i adore Polly P
You are such a great person. I listen to your message with all of my heart❤️. Thank you so much for your share🙏
Thank you
If I don't have emotional sobriety or some semblance thereof I cannot work my program. It's that important.
My emotional sobriety only comes as i work it. Meaning-typically when I'm feeling the least healthy and so far from any semblance of emotional sobriety I'm spot on growing if I press in to my step work, meditation, meetings and making personal contact with my sponsor and members. It's like giving birth! I believe the secret is revealed once I understand it's not about the alcohol or the alcoholic (AA/ALANON) but as you said emotional sobriety!
Beautiful
Work and self-sacrifice for others. Intensive work with others, expecting NOTHING in return.
Buenísimo compartimiento, strong program
Wow thank you 😊 🙏 ☺
We Miss you DaveLOVE RIP DEAR FRIEND
Wow! Thank you! ❤️
great share
The Clancy talk she refers to is on TH-cam
Vale Clancy 🙏🙏🏽📘
im struggling with emotional stuff in my marriage, feeling like I don't measure up, ive been sober 25 years and I feel like im more dry than sober
I'm going to my first alanon meeting this weekend, I think I need some more help than aa alone
@@Jordanlewis316 that makes sense to me
AA gets me sober however Al-anon keeps me sober.
Damn I relate. I feel like I’m not going to make it
@@Mandalas12 i feel much better these days. you can stay sober, do you have a sponsor? and do you go to meetings?
I need to talk to some one
Yes, get in touch
