- 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."
What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a "treatment for alcoholism" or "alcohol abuse?"
From Wikipedia: "A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as 'spiritual principles,' based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism in 1939. The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems."
You can find out more at: www.aa.org - Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site (And as should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with them or any other 12 step program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.)
"Addiction treatment" WORKS! There is addiction help out there and "addiction recovery" is possible. If you are battling "alcohol addiction" there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like!
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. Many need inpatient stays 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 substance abuse issues. Help IS out there! :)
From the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous: "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny."

Sandy is my fav AA. He’s a good man.
I listen to Sandy so much that I feel like he’s my Sponsor, wish I could have met him!
I Love this man. This is so TRUE. I HAVE 90 DAYS CLEAN FROM CRACK COCAINE PLUS THE 2 MONTHS PRIOR GOING TO JAIL. LIFE IS SO GOOD NOW.

Ty Sandy
I get stuck in wondering what my he's will os for me
I am told by my fellows, as long as I am doing the next RIGHT thing, that's living in God's will. Doing what is right for the greater good is God's will for me today. I'll get into tomorrow when it comes, let's get another 24 hours fam! 18 months on 2/23
Easy does it but buckle up
He saved my life before I felt comfortable at meetings!
Sandy B is the best
I love him .17 years sober 😔 Thank you God 😊
That’s awesome 👏 I just got 7 years on 5-10-2022.
Would you say no matter what we do not drink and keep working the steps meetings sponsor. What would you share is what kept you sober?

"one of the biggest action verbs in AA is "letting go"". Love it!
Bless you! I love this interpretation. Absolutely perfect.
I LIVE Sandy Beach! He is so spiritual! 🙏🏼💙‼️
I absolutely love Sandy Beach. He helps my recovery and every day life. 😍❤💖😍
Me too!!
Me too ladies
Me too!
Wow The whole point of hitting rock-bottom and the incomprehensible demoralization that came with it was to bring me closer to God. That’s the message I got from this beautiful share.
Seems to me complete demoralization over and over because that's the only time alcoholics are willing to listen to anybody other than themselves. Certainly true for me
Old sober AA member 37yrs thank God I'm AA this Corona virus My teaching tools come in handy keep it simple stupid 🤣🤣 let go let God meetings on line thank My God of my understanding for the blessings of soberity My Life and being able to help others with this disease love this speaker!! Sober *crazy 🤣 out here!!
Thank You Mr Sandy B.
RIP
Oh I never new that he passed away how did Bob die and was he sober. God bless Bob Rip. ps there is another man that I listen to as well his name is Joe h he passed away all so God bless to Joe h as well 😇
Sorry I meant sandy b 👍
Great man , RIP. He helped me sooo much.
Are u speaking of jakey?
Thank you so much for your deep messages. 🙏
Absolutely amazing! This helped me so very much, especially today.
Saw Sandy speak a few times in the early 90’s in northern VA. Listened to his cassette tapes back in the day.
One of my fav Sandy quotes that I had the privilidge of hearing him say live was, "If you're always bored, remember...there's always Bowling."
+KatherineMacChesney Sounds like somebody has a resentment. God of the Bible loves ALL things good. AA is a gift that has been good to millions. Millions of people getting and STAYING sober, for over 80 years and counting, in AA makes it quite relevant.
I actually work at a huge bowling alley and can't wait to share this with my friends in my home group!!! 😉
Hahah
Sandy Beach is awesome
He was the best ever! RIP Sandy
one of the best talks ever ❤️
Sandy you have spoken to the entire world. Thank you for sharing the message RIP PEACE OUT
thank you for your voice...you were appreciated and loved
A different level of consciousness
While listening to him I got a silent message that he passed then I just read it in the comments which verified it
But what a great power of example and a carrier of such a beautiful message He is in the light with God I know
I was privileged to hear the late Sandy B. speaking in Glasgow many years ago.
I was introduced to Sandy B. while living across the state from Tampa in Melbourne Florida. He was munched loved. So sorry that he passed over the rainbow bridge in 2014.
Powerless, I see it everyday! So God has used it for me to use it as a visual tool to help and stay sober. I keep going to AA because it keeps me well. I don't ever want to be trapped in a box. I may be sober to go into pastures to help, not watch behind or on a screen.
Wow so grateful for this talk listened to it several times over several years but hear it now what nuggets in this
Im 3 days sober from alcohol and marijuana. All i want to do during the day is sleep. Then night comes and i cant fall asleep. My only emotions are sadness and anger. I dont have a job and dont feel like i can do anything. I used to be capable and confident. Now i am bursting into tears everyday which makes me feel weak and pathetic. Im going for a walk and listening to this because i dont know what else to do.
Might try an online AA meeting I stayed in those a LOT especially at first
Your job is to stay sober and work in aa. Your uniquely qualified and fine tuning your skills. How else can you help someone else get through it without doing yourself. This is literally why your here on this planet. To get sick get well and save others. Good job
It's a process that takes time. Be gentle with yourself. Maybe cying through it is exactly what you need? Walking and listening to this stuff has been super helpful. Sobriety takes time and practice. You're literally building a new you. Hope you're OK 🙏🍀 Also, sorry to spew advice, but aiming for a sleep schedule was significant for me.
I needed this, and along it came
I read that he passed a year ago but strangely enough didn't realize it was at a meeting! Sandy B obit I read prior to my meeting. He was a true soldier of spiritual recovery. I am moved by he and the other stalwarts of AA speak lore.
Kris Scanlon
Kris Scanlon how do you know he passed away at a meeting ? I hope this message finds you well
Kris Scanlon I just found the source. He was a great speaker for aa
He passed at a Step 3 meeting, which is where the entire program actually happens!
Hello pal I didn't no that sandy b passed away Rip. another man who I listen to as well is Joe h he passed away all so Rip Joe h
I'm still sick, drinking. This is powerful 4me
Go to a local aa womans meeting or any meeting close. See who would look like a good fit to sponsor you and get started. If I could do it anyone can. I was highly addicted to alcohol and couldn't function without it. I surrender to just today I won't drink. But you have to also take all the suggestions. The miracle happens for everyone that truly works for it.
Absolutely excellent! Thanks Sandy!
Conscious Contact with God...All problems come from disconnecting to Conscious Contact...with God..🙏❤️🤗👌
Thank you for the message.helps soothe the spiritual ills.
Love sandy,talks
Thank you for your service.🙏🏻🖤
AND Sandy is spiritual and say's cuss words! Be like Sandy and get offline and work you're program. That's what I do. Without people looking. Um the same everywhere I go. Even in my crooked church. Gn and thank you Sandy.
"Even in my crooked church" 😂😂 I got a kick out of that.
BTW... Step 12 suggests to PRACTICE, not to work it
I agree. Its like in the "Good Book" where it says pray in a closet which means dont go around "bragging about being Christian" but instead "be" a Christian. Be sober, live sober, practice these principles means do it in a practical way and become masters of the craft (craft=practical art or science) like a medical practice or legal practice where the "practicioners" are the masters of the craftwork not beginners but they know that they are forever improving how they do what they do. That is the program: progress not perfection because we are always growing in understanding.
@ jennifer Zimmer. Ahhh the ego. Judging is something the ego loves to do.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you God.
Wow! The very end where he talks about almost dying when the trustee was talking. Fast forward, Sandy peacefully passed at an AA meeting.
Revolutionary!
Thank You
great share and great man 😇🤲
Thank you From the bottom of my heart. Just greatful to hear what I just did
I am here 2020
Exactly 👍🏼
Yes!
Thanks
Sober since October 31, 1983
I am 17 years and 1 month sober
If it's happening and I'm not trying, it's not my damn plan! I don't think I should need to explain my spiritual life, I don't ask anyone else to do it.
So... you don’t share your spiritual life with new folks/sponsees and you don’t ask others/sponsor what they do/done? 🤔
Awsome
He chanced my life and the way I view my program love you Sandy a true spiritual warrior
I'm at least 1 year sober, miracle...
He died yesterday RIP
Rip ! Such Legend
Spiritual people don't tell what they do, they follow directions from God and dint tell. I live AA and dint tell.
HOW MANY SPIRITUAL PEOPLE DO YOU PERSONALLY, JENNIFER ZIMMER?
IF, AS YOU SAY, "SPIRITUAL PEOPLE" DON'T TELL WHAT THEY DO, THEN HOW DO THEY CARRY THEIR WONDERFUL WAY OF LIFE?
@@augustinehourigan7453
By living it.
Spiritual “teachers” do. They give it away. AA is Spiritual-imagine if bill and Bob didn’t tell????
@@sebastianvanleeuwen4123 yes, living it by example.
Sandy say's a person in AA does not need to be perfect for me beat over the head or gossiped about or go to AA court if we are not!
❤❤❤
' love this guy
I want 31:51 what he has....
Another Successful day
If Bill knew that Liz Taylor and Ingrid Bergman were waiting in the bar to start the party with him, none of us would be here.
🙏🙏
Founders day ? Haha nah sandy is awesome.
