Thank you so much. I am nine days sober. This is not my first rodeo and the reason I have failed in the past was because I my ego told me that I didn't need a sponsor or do these steps. I'm willing and able to work now. I have a temporary sponsor and I am fully committed to 90/90. Thank you again.
I gotta get back in the rooms and do some step work.. I have almost 8 months now mostly white knuckling it. It took blood,sweat, and tears just to get where I'm at now.. Congrats having 20+ years and still helping
Been sober in AA since '97. At the time AA was pretty much the only thing. Now with internet people can and do shop. Whatever one does, it is important to persist . Progress is usually made outside our comfort zone. It is not easy but definitely possible.
I try to quit everyday, im 24 and been addicted to alcohol and weed for longer than 10 years. I get the feeling that talking with other people is one of the only ways to quit
Felt like a meeting and just randomly searched online and found this. Great presentation of the steps. I really appreciate your delivery and perspective. Look forward to listening to all 12. Sober date 11/13/17
Went to a lot of meetings and worked the steps with a sponsor. As every aspect of my life improved in sobriety, my positive outlook turned negative after attending meetings. I changed the meeting, but it didn't help. Luckily I found SMART Recovery and have been sober over 2 years now. Although AA works for many people, it only brought me closer to my next drink.
Could it maybe, that somewhere inside of me, is a greater power…… myself!!! Maybe myself coming to the realisation that I do drink to much, is my OWN greater power!!! Please don’t take that away from me, cause to me, it gives me strength that I still believe in myself and can help myself!!! The love I have for myself, my own greater power, gave me the confidence to also help myself, in this case, going to they AA

Good luck 🤞 Never give up 💯
I was so afraid of everything when i got sober 7 months ago. AA has saved my life.

Congrats on your sobriety. Gld you are enjoying the series.
I struggle after step 2 but listening to you has gave me strength 🙏🆓
Glad it was helpful!
This reminds me of how much i enjoyed chairing my 12/12 meeting for my group. I used the same format because its works very well.
These videos are saving lives 💯 Please don’t quit 🙏
I don't plan to. Thank you for the encouragement!
And lining pockets from what I see
Thank you for listing the 12 steps according to the big book! In many video reviews of the 12 steps, the actual steps are not included.
You're welcome.
I read this book. Tony nailed it 💯 Thank you 🙏

SMART Recovery is an excellent program.
Fantastic job

Hi i am starting
Could it maybe, that somewhere inside of me, is a greater power…… myself!!!

Yes!
Step 2: It is not a religious program. Step 3: It is a religious program.
In the 12th step get new comers to a meeting. I’m not we.

But? Your breaking the 1st tradition. Can u take your name out and still help out?
I don't see how this applies? If anything, it supports Tradition 1
I don't understand, you need to tell a spouse if you have had an affair. So disagree with that.
No, that is not true. You never make an amends that could potentially harm the other person.
