- This is an incredible talk by one of my favorite AA speakers, Scott R. He has a wonderful cadence and style to his sharing and it is FULL of some awesome jokes! One of the greatest gifts of Recovery is the ability to laugh and this tape provides many opportunities to do just that. Scott is truly a giant in the AA community and will live on through the sharing of his experience, strength, and hope. This is such a good share, this is a MUST LISTEN! :)
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!
Every tape is carefully selected to ensure its quality and that it is entertaining to listen to.

Hope you are doing well. I'm on Day one. And I'm scared of another day one.
You CAN DO IT FRIEND.
Look up David Goggins “Day One Week One” mentality
Two years today. A few months later my brother and I were on our way to Disney and he put this tape on for me I have been listening to speaker meetings ever since. Thank you Scott. God is still using you
I am a not so quite recovering alcoholic but I feel blessed to have found these meetings. Been in these rooms for years and I'm not leaving until I get it right. Thank you all for being you. God loves you and so do I.
And even if I get it right, I'm still not leaving.
I love u
You'll do it man ...I'm the same as we all are God bless and protect you always
Keep coming back!
Our problem is not alcohol. Our problem is our alcoholic mind. Love that part
For my friends who don’t listen to speakers - this is the tape I send them and they are hooked. Scott’s message is relevant, no matter how many years we have. I just turned 7 years sober & I’ve been listening to this tape for 7 years. I love his laugh!! Scott, enjoy the big meeting in the Sky.
“We sold his car...” that is the most extreme I’ve heard from a speaker.
you have to go to a ca meeting then ....lol
@@carterincorporated2480 drug addicts have us out-numbered druggies and drunks don't mix it's like mixing oil and water .. there is a little semblance of a time when they would be called out for this shT . Listen how he says a pound of Cocaine and that he Loves drinking hmmm.... Just be honest damn Scott. Quote from the book " back in their caves alcoholics will go saying... ".
Thanks for reading if you are or think you have a problem with Alcohol purchase a copy of the AA big book and read it do whaT it says it's 2023 My prediction in 10 yrs AA will be extinct or renamed Alcoholics and Addicts Anonymous . The disease of Addiction will replace Alcoholism in our literature. My name is Cowboy I am a Alcoholic noT a addict
@@rolandmcknight97 I never though of it that way considering my whole family are addicts and we used to throw parties where everyone was drinking and smoking drugs so it goes hand in hand for me i have done every drug but alcohol is old faithful
My name is Mike M….and I’m under new management!😊
11 years sober, and this will always be my favorite. RIP my dude, you helped me through my early days just from this talk and your humor. You gave me hope. You gave us all hope.
This is a amazing lead wish I could of been there
When did he die?
Y’all pray for me I’m about to try and kick Heroine after having have made it to almost a year sober…. You know that “One more time” sounded like a good idea! I know that I can never pick up any substance again safely without ending up in Hell, so todays the day I’ll keep y’all posted, i love you all!
Update?
How is it going?
Hope you're okay
I’ve been drinking steady for 10 years quit two days ago my blackouts are getting worse and since I’ve been sober I’ve never felt better I love listening to these Aaa shows I learn a lot by listening and I’m not the only one struggling with this disease God bless good show

I hope you made it sober to today ❤☮️💜
I pray you're still sober ❤
Praying for you
Coronavirus causes many to not attend meetings. So grateful for being able to have groups like these through facebook for when meetings aren't available.
Excellent speaker. I did not know he passed on…I am happy his legend lives on. God is a beautiful Father and I am blessed to be a part of this journey of sobriety and life.
#soberlife
I found this speaker meeting on Feb 1, 2015. I went to my first meeting afterwards. I am a grateful member of AA today and sober. Rest in joy, Scott R , thanks again for your work.
Congrats!!!
❤
AA saved my life.
It’s not going to meetings unfortunately.
I’m recovering from a hopeless state of mind and body through the 12 steps, service and unity.
This gives me a message to carry.
Cliff B, thanks for your tiring service and you all, Alcoholics.
Bless you all
I started drinking in the early 1960's and stopped on June 26th 2006. My AA birthday is the 27th because that was the first full day of my being Sober. I'LL have 9 years on June 27th, 2015-Im 70 yesrs old, i got arrested when i had 85 days sober, i remained clean & sober since that time. Complaining and Feeling bad slowly left me the Longer i stay sober & clean. The first 2 years are for me were tough but doable. I recommend SOBRIETY.
It damn sure beats the other option
Well done Charles..
My SOBRIETY date 28 June 2010..
So I'm 9yrs SOBER...one day at a time..
Check out fr Leo booth AA speaker from uk.
Take care brother
👍
Good job, Charles. Glad to read your testimony. I was born in '51 to my parents during the Korean War. 30 years later I was incarcerated in a County Jail after being strung out on drugs and alcohol for years. ☆ After enduring withdrawal symptoms without medical attention, which was very nightmarish, I got saved and sober and stayed that way from that point onward. ☆ I just celebrated my 38 years of salvation and alcoholism recovery October 31st 2019, which is two times the national average of all A.A. groups of America/Canada combined, from '92 onward. I try to encourage others struggling with these addictions to do all that's neccessary to total recovery: it's is so profoundly worth it and is absolutely worth the effort!! Absolutely!! Far superior to the opposite effects by a considerable distance!! ☆ Be blessed!!
It's so hard to learn how to not be bored. I think we drank because we're bored
☕🍦 🍼 Wonderful ❣️
Thank God we have these during covid. Yesterday was my 30 years birthday, soberversary. I spent it listening to these amazing speakers. This one's my fav! RIP Scott Redman
Congrats on your sobriety!
Congratulations!!! I got sober during the pandemic listening to these. Thank God indeed 😊🙏🏻💗
@@christinwoodard3463 having emotional sobriety and peace. The urge to drink my go away, but the stress that cause you to drink is still there.
Awesome about you sobriety. Keep it up.
I'll never stop listening to Scott. 🙏
i just started listening to this and i have been in recovery for over 20 years and i am so grateful that they are here to listen to. thank you
One day at of time
5 min 10min 15min
Happy Sober day😇
Thanks for the solution I came to AA thought meth was the problem I caught Alcoholism and got sober and clean for 6 years in December found out I have a disease that centers in the mind and that no human power could relieve me of my alcoholism but god could and would if he where sought if you need help reach out and the hand of AA will be there
Yea I've gotten duis and I have not recovered from and I know these meetings help ease the boredom drinker......
I was brought up in the program. My mother introduced me to him while she began her process back in 2009. She hasn’t had a drink since then. The program really works if you work it.
Actually, it works if *we* work it. I don't know where the phrase came from, but it's an erroneous one.
Just started listening to these speaker's today. Thank you for being there.
This is amazing. So grateful that I found this page. I have 12 years and 5 months and this video keeps me green.
"Is this your truck?! No, but it's my spatula..." man. Had me in tears. How beautiful.
34 years sober & Scot is my go to AA speaker when I need to hear the message and some great humor. Rip
Thank God for these speaker recordings. Thank God I listen and hear EXACTLY what I need to hear. Thank God I'm willing to listen even though my brain is screaming "drink. Drink! Just DRINK." (Side note: It's crazy how quick and loud that voice comes back after I slowly stop doing the work in AA).
I so desperately needed this exact talk this morning and even though it feels like everything is crumbling down around me...I know where the solution is.
I don't know why I clicked on this this morning- other than all my recent "plans" have not been working (weird, right? Lol)
But it's time. It's time to get back into an IRL meeting, but thank God this is here until I can get my butt into that seat tonight.
Great message! I feel rather alike sometimes. But I wont give up
@@rgcv what is it that YOU really LUST
By far one of the best speakers I've heard in quite a while! Hello funny and thank you Scott for doing what you do!
Ten years sober and still gets me every time. Love his humor and hi stories about his kids bring tears to my eyes
Sober today and it's been a great talk, thanks for posting!
I enjoy all of these speaker meetings. Comes in handy when im at work and need a meeting! 132 days! it works if you work it!!!
Yes AMEN 👐👍2 THAT brother Keep listening it WORKS RT 👍I kno it has & is 4 me 2day HALLELUJAH PRAISE JESUS 👐😇 tk care keep up the gd. Work 🙏

And all so working on my first steps 🤣
10 days sober.🙏🏼God save me and my brothers and sisters from this disease
Loving all the speakers since we are in covid lockdown. TH-cam A.A. and Zoom meetings are life savers.
Wonderful heard Scott R many years ago..still the best speaker ever..God Bless Scott and AA......
This isn't only good for those who have an alcohol addiction... but it's actually helping me think clearly about my own personal addictions in general. :-)
Moving....and funny....from the heart of someone who has lived it.
You cannot make this up. Thankyou Scott you hit a few areas I need to work on.
Watching tonight Sober from alcohol two years but free of control at last. Threw it all in the trash May the 13th 2022.
I knew Scott very well. He was a bright light. So intelligent, witty, charismatic and very handsome. Sadly, he passed away in '08. He lit up the meetings, when he was in attendance. Sadly, he passed away years ago. I miss him terribly.
How old was he when he passed?
He was 56 - he had a heart attack.
Man... I hate that... every time I hear a great speaker I like they're dead... all except Bob D and Chris R.
My deepest condolences 👐 truly inspiration for me 2 listen 2 him over and over. I wish I could have met him someday but just saw ur post and realized he passed away 😓 May he RIP & KNO HE IS STILL SAVINGS LIVES 2DAY ! I WILL KEEP LISTENING AS LONG AS I AM SOBER THX U 💞
So very sorry for your loss. So fortunate it is on TH-cam to listen to. His voice is infectious with excitement.
I've been listening to this for almost a decade. At least once a year
What a story and most of all, his delivery
Recovering Physically from a car accident,Mentally & Emotionally,this audio came in handy from a hospital bed:)
3am, I haven't laughed so much for quite some time. Thankyou.
Thank you Scott A. I really enjoyed U sharing WITH US GBU ALWAYS 👐 Its funny how you have the same name as my Ex dealer's 🤣😄 & I have 5 days sober, started looking around for help. Been 2 a few NA meetings and have listened 2 everyone, felt inspired by all. But when I'm outside I am running hone because I am so scared that I am going 2 pick it up again 😔😔 so began searching 4 vids on NA & AA & FOUND THIS ON U-TUBE NOW I AM HOOKED. IT WORKS SO MUCH MORE 4 ME JS THX AGAIN 👍👐

My name is Max I'm 24 . Please pray for my family and my will to get and stay sober again after losing two years clean.
Thank you for your share and for being of service!!
3 years today after relapse. Grateful.
One of the best speakers! Apart from being hilarious - no one else has been so good at pointing out the insanity of our thinking, the fellowship, the family afterward, amends and sticking to basics! What am awesome time o had with this one
thanks 4 making me laugh in mij 24th day sober
hey mick, how are things going buddy
"I didn't tell you that you were wrong out there you were right, but a big guy got up in my face and screamed and yelled, I didn't tell you that you were wrong, don't tell me I can't be mad."
Wow, speechless right there... that's so incredible to me. What communication.
THANKS for being there when I couldn't get out coming up to 6 month's sober who imagined LOL
Amazing message of experience strength and hope.
5 days sober and its hard af but I started and I hope these speakers help
Hopefully you are still here with us ..
#brothersalign #BLESSED
Wow, so loved this. I got my laughs today and shared it on my social media. You rock and so does your awesome family.
I feel really privileged to have met you at UnitA, to have LOL with Doug R, Debbie and all the gang at the little brown church (at the time in Studio City) to have watched Nancy your kids and you walk the walk. You are missed ❤️
One of the funniest ever. Next to Beth. My 1st AA Convention in MD. Was she the funniest ever? Idk...but when your newly sober, never been to a convention and someone tells your story with humor...there's nothing better in the world. I felt free after that night.
Mickey Bush - he's half president half mouse.
So good to hear the humor in the lives of alcoholics anonymous. Definitly not a Glum Lot. God Bless
This guy is funnier then 3/4s of the world's best comics these days . I got to get to AA im 47 im going to die soon if i dont stop. I decided to listen to this today just need to take the next step and go
Thankyou very much to the wonderfull share I am learning things everyday listening to you wonderfull sharers
By far, one of the best Leads I've heard thus far
Listened to this today and loved it, then found out he passed away...anyone know his story. very sad, I was moved.
one of the best I've ever heard
This guy is SO FUNNY!!!
I LOVE THIS DUDE!😀
oh he makes me laugh...
glad to hear this
This is the best lead I have. I would love to see this in person.
This is hysterical! Thanks for the awesome share
I keep saying to myself ENOUGH. YOU GOT THIS ❤

You are a gem. Thankyou. 20years alanon.
Welcome every new comer please keep coming back we need you thanks for being sober today and sharing
its good to now that it works for u and so happy to see anyone everyone gets well ........
I thoroughly enjoyed this speaker Scott R.! His humor combined with the design for living through the 12 steps was a perfect way to start my day!!
God is everything❤😂
Lemon Grove, CA? I'm down the street but I shared with my addict friend all the way in Atlanta, Ga and he is so sick and doesn't know how to crawl out. Thank you for posting. This is my Sunday meeting for around the house. Thanks for sharing seriously.
Scott is hilarious ! Nothing wrong with having a few laughs just because we are victims of one of the most insidious , agonizing, demeaning , terrifying diseases on the planet , right ?
Nay communicating out the boredom with a single specific goal with don't drink takes the edge off and let's the miracle begin for laughter
No, there's nothing wrong with it at all. We are not a Glum Lot. Read the last 2 paragraphs on page 16 in the BB. There's more throughout it too. Laughing is how we heal... If we can't laugh at ourselves, we need to find out how. After all we've been through, laughter really is the best medicine.
after 3 years sober I can start. start writing to my daughter. But at least tonight I've got no ivs no ers no cops shit I should go to bed😁
I loved it
“I’m not making fun of you…. But I’m getting close “😆
Totally get it. Once got excited about an endoscopy because it meant i'd get a big dose of temazapam...
lol, this is perfect
Just realised that I sounded extremely disappointed when a surgeon told me that a local anaesthetic would suffice, I was confused when he looked worried about my expert comment !
I need this. I am at work every night.... can't make many meetings cause I am 3rd shift.....
Andre birju Trinidad..5yr 8mon 10 days..thank god..for AA i couldnt do it u guys..its all about learning about illness of alcohol...
I listen to this man when I’m fighting off picking up … he brings me along his journey with him , this is the first time I’ve reacted so much to his alcoholic behaviours … I was that person who got sooooo excited o was getting general anaesthetic … like beaming giddy so excited , completely forgot about that they would be cutting me open performing surgery … doesn’t matter I get to be put out and pain meds after !!!! That’s just not normal behaviour lol
Awesome share 💜
Loving these videos!!
That was great! 👏👏👏👏
This is soooo funny!!!!
Thanks 😊 Scott.
Scott, you saved my life.
You first must accept your own RESPONSIBILITY
I start out...
I'm Brian and I am a everything.
That talk was really excellent.
His laugh. He had a great laugh.
Cheers in the next life
I’m still laughing about Nino!
Inspiring
