- Bob D. in a mini-workshop shares about practicing the principles of the program in all of his relationships. REALLY useful "recovery tools" are shared in this tape. Bob is one of the best AA speakers and this tape is very insightful, thought-provoking, and engaging!
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!

Bob D is a gift! It works if you work it and your worth it !
Since Covid 19 I have had the pleasure of seeing Bob D over 7 times and he never disappoints. Great guy and was able to talk to him on zoom. He actually left his phone number in the chat for people to call and I kept it. One day I would like to thank him personally for his experience, strength and hope.
Where does he speak?
@@williamp.7304 He was on Zoom again last Wednesday and Thursday doing Step 11 and 12. I am part of a number of groups on facebook some that host him and others he is friends with people in the group. AA Zoom Meeting Global List is one and the others are sorta private. On Monday a group meets on zoom at 7eastern all week starting on step 1 for an hour all week. They have some pretty powerful speakers like Chris R, Don L, Polly P, Craig C but Bob was on last week. Let me know if you're interested I can give you the zoom ID
@@stevenm2526 pls !!!! This guy saved my life
@@williamp.7304 He really breaks it down in a way I never heard. I've been in and out since 2005 but never heard about the mental obsession that he talks about. The group I am in tomorrow with Chris R, who is pretty big as well meets everynight at 7 tomorrow is step one.The zoom ID # is 5767698313 no password needed. My name is Steven M and live in PB county FL. Hope to see you there
@@stevenm2526 you will! Thanks
I’m seven days sober.My sponsor sent me this and it just changed my life. Thank you Bob D🙏🏼
This man is a GIFT FROM GOD. I believe everybody knows truth when they hear it. Some just choose to ignore it
You will hear the truth when your ready. There is no choosing with powerlessness
Been listening to Bob for years, so grateful. Helps me calm down , rest, sleep, get clear, and read my big book.
Bob D is my favourite speaker !! Thank you, Bob and God
I've been listenting to all your talks for about a week. I have a little over 21 years sober & clean. I found myself overwhelmed with depression. So greatful I stumbled across your talks. I called up my sponsor. I have my work cut out for me. Thank you for choosing to do your talks. They make a difference.
For a newbie, that is sad to hear. If I were just miserable after 21 years I would just drink again.
Yvette Rae Hinojosa True. Good thoughts
Patricia Moody im close to 9 years sober and my sobriety is very miserable
bob is my grandsponsor .....I gyess it is this simple for me i am either serving myself which does not work or serving others provided I am living by the 12 steps and traditions....and when my distractions steer me away I ask God to return me to center ....so if you are stuck ask God for help and the willingness to move your feet
I have heard of many people with depression even after many years of sobreity
Two years 2 months and so grateful for these talks
I listen to Bob’s, talks and apply them to each of my several addictions (media, sugar, etc.)
This works really well for each of them😊😊😊
Keep coming back friends. Yes AA works if you work for it....
grateful that these videos are still available but what i need is the rooms again
Thanks Bob 74 days...so grateful for u tube and AA
Another great day to be alive sober clean
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bob, what a Great example of AA & emotional sobriety. I need to hear what he says. Staying in the Big Book, having a home group, building a foundation around Steps 1,2 & 3, and Sponsor/Sponsee relationships are the basis of my program. Hitting my knees upon awakening and taking inventory at night keep my relationship with God. Thanks Bob!
Thank you Bob D. your talks help me want to stay sober
Bob D is one of my favorites- thank you for your service!
‘It works if you work it, it won’t if you don’t ‘🙏🏻
AA isn't for those who need it, AA isn't for those that want it, AA is for those that DO IT 😉
How do I work it
I’m so lost
@@allisonerickson3598 go to a meeting and find a sponsor to take you through the steps :)
@@allisonerickson3598 have you found the help you wanted?
I've been stuck at home due to my health lately. So I haven't been able to get out to my usual church basements. Your talk is exactly what I needed to hear. Because I am evolving in my spiritual relationships. And it hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the great message. Thank your Creator for me.
Page 52, drunk or sober...totally me!!! Such a great way to spend my lunch listening to Bob D. We are sooooo not unique! Lol.
Bob d is the best. I like how he says. Whose making the descisions for this guy. Fire him. Which is obviously us.
I’m sorry d!
You have a long lunch break Bob D yep
Yep, we are all human too.
I’ve met Bob a few times along the way. Great guy, great speaker.
what does he look like, hes my favorite speaker, but I didn't see any of his pics.
I really needed to listen to this. In Al-Anon pursuing my own recovery and trying to grow.
The best speaker i ever heard and related to in AA. Bob D explains alcohoISM so well. Thx
LOVE THIS GUY, 3-5 X A WEEK, HELPING ME ONE DAY AT A TIME
Did you know AA offers a plan to get recovered permanently. It's explained in the Big Book.
@@SingeSabre we do actually recover. It tells you before the preface “The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism” - on page 90 of Working With Others it says “If he says yes, then his attention should be drawn to you as a person who has recovered”- that’s why when doing a 12th step call I introduced myself as recovered. I have recovered from the mental obsession (the lie that I can control and enjoy my drinking). The status of being recovered though depends on the MAINTENANCE of my spiritual condition. I treat that by unity (going to meetings, joining a group), recovery (working step 10 and 11 throughout my day, working with a sponsor) service (carrying the message to still suffering alcoholics- sponsoring women). This doesn’t mean that I am cured.
It mentions recovered 15 times pertaining to alcoholics in the big book- and many more in the 12 and 12.
If you don’t think you have recovered, ask yourself why that is? There are many great Big Book studies that have brought this to life for me. I used to feel like you did until I had a psychic change! Peace and love to you! Xx
This talk NEVER gets stale!! This gossip deal in AA has the power to kill!! 😢❤ 👀
Yeah this guy is me and I hope to meet him someday.
This guy knows top shelf recovery i in love already
Something to hear that I needed to keep me sober thanks to AA from Bob d
Love this
thanks so much I am taken a trip from Baltimore MD to Orlando FL and could not stop for meeting but threw people doing 12 step work I got one thanks so much
Was looking for something related to dilemma of relationship with member who has a chronic illness... and here I am...
very much enjoyed this. Don't know what to make of aa but one thing, it has helped.
Loved the share. Amazing clarity and delivery. Thanks for the lessons.
So many spiritual giants in these rooms.
this guy is great. I'm happy someone in my group suggested I listen to his stuff.
Great speaker!
this is bob at his best gossip spirit of love n tolerance friction etc
Awesomeness
Forever grateful to aa and my beautiful sponsor ❤❤❤
I love bob d shares so much identification gets me everytime
this audio is vital to AA.
Bob D is great
Thank you aa❤
1:07:00-1:08:22. This is me for sure. I'm sure a lot of people can relate!!!
Thanks for point that out!
This talk reminded me to put my ex sponsees on my step 8 list from when i was sponsoring and relapsed while in yr 7 sober.
If its helpful for anyone, what came out of my recent inventory around it is - I was confusing 'Having had a spiritual awakening' with being in 'fit spiritual condition'.
Stay current folks 🙂🙏
This man speaks to me. If anyone asks me “what was the moment that made you decide to stop?” I would just make them listen to this…😂 almost verbatim. Even in sobriety, I’m guilty of stuff he speaks about we do.
Bob is the best love him
I needed this tonight.
Thank you Bob!!!!
Forever
great stuff
Excellent
Thank you for your work
Good stuff
I hope my love listens to all this from you
This mans is a genius
Thanks brother, I love the 36 .-) good shaireing .
I'm listening to get out of my thinking.
man i would Like to Meet this Man.
Perla Sanchez me too ! I’d like my love to meet this guy
Stateline!!
Idk, I disagree with one thing regular people are just as selfish, so many lovers of self, it just kills us much faster if we don’t let god help us get rid of it.
Great
Use it tomorrow
Better shot of staying sober as a drug dealer than as a drug and alcohol counselor... Scary! Lol
Love this but not the diet medication adverse reactions. If I need to loose weight, I go to OA.
that's weird, but explains why AA is not as effective as in the past. Perhaps Weight Watchers is a better choice for losing weight. I might add many AAers would be better served in SOS, Smart, or RR
We have a spiritual malady. It really depends on what your drug of choice is but AA's steps and spiritual principals can solve all your problems as it says in the Big Book. The reason for the different groups is the importance of identification. I do not use food to take me out of myself, or crack cocaine, or meth, but I have used alcohol, pills etc to fill that black hole so I relate to those in the rooms that do.
Alcohol is but a symptom
Bob D is my sponsor now. Send help
Steps get us sober ...traditions keep us that was ....without the ..." Ic "
I used to hear "what do you get when a horse thief goes to AA? A sober horse thief". Saying that basically people don't change in that respect. I'm sorry but I cannot believe that. A horse thief could not remain sober if he continued to steal.
1:29:08
I had a relaps
Me too man
@MLBTwins don't worry, it's a relapsing illness! Just get to a meeting and share. Yesterday is HISTORY! Xxx
why what happened?
I have 11 month's sober today 7-19-23🥰🙏🏽
🙏
Love this
