  • Bob D. from Las Vegas is at it again with his story of recovery from alcoholism by using the Twelve Steps of AA. The theme of this talk is how Bob went from a hopeless, helpless alcoholic, to living a life filled with satisfaction and serenity.
    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!

      He’s really awake. He’s working a good program. In our modern society, the addicts, especially the young ones, will have a nearly insurmountable task. The situation now is dire more than ever. The big book. The steps . The original group. They had a magical bond and experience. They never could have forseen what society would look like today. 12 step based recovery organizations worldwide are missing the point ALL over. Sobriety is NOT the same thing as recovery as it’s stated in the book! Listen to Tom B speak on emotional sobriety. The 12 steps are a way to walk the path of God that humans have been trying to come up with a method to do for years. Tom ties them together in a beautiful way in his talk. Truly working the steps and turning it over every. Single. Day. And tirelessly pursuing rigorous honesty (and I mean 100% open honest all the time about everything) and you will have magic around you. It’s not about being sober. It’s about doing the will of your higher power and things you never thought imaginable will happen to you. You have no idea how good your life can be. You have no idea where you will end up. So give up control. How? Work the steps and be honest all the time. Miracles happen fast. It took me 10 years of almost dying to figure out that this is bigger than sobriety it is divine intervention. And you WILL forget it if you stop working it. It’s part of the disease, stated in the book. And it happened to me

    I am just so grateful my sponsor told me to listen to Bob Darrell, and the first time I did I was hooked on listening to him I learned so much when he shares and I love how he explains everything in the big book as it goes through it. He is just amazing to me,
    My sponsor takes me to through the bug book as Bob does, thank God for God! !!

    He has a very good understanding of alcoholism. Restless, irritable and discontent the commonality of this disease. I do not think psychiatrists yet understand much about alcoholism both during drinking as well especially after a person quits alcohol.
