Tony, thank you for exposing yourself in this format, and being who you are [ beautiful soul )
Your powerful vibe is inspiring to me and I feel the same way about this wonderful fellowship.
Hello Tony Great share I'm 5 months sober uv helped me 2 day thanks a lot god bless ya 🙏
Does anyone know the date of this open talk?
@@juliuscaesar8163 I don't no much about this man iv just found out that he's an AA members and he's been sober for years
And breaching our traditions
@@rashidabdul-ghani4933 I'm guessing 99 or 2000? He said he was 15 years sober, but maybe I was confused.
29 hours sober. First AA meeting today.
Breathe in breathe out. Don't drink. Repeat as necessary.
How is it going?
24 years one day at a time
It's all about your commitment if you believe you can you will make it
I met Tony Hopkins at the World Convention of San Diego in 1995. I was in a room of hundreds and felt alone. Then Tony approached and introduced himself. I felt at home once again. Saturday I celebrated twenty eight years sober.
Beautiful
Congrats 29 profoundly gratefully why was able to make it when so many didn't ....just for today 😎
@Rich B Sad,I'd say your one of them 13th Steppers in AA.You sound and look creepy. AA full of creepy fuckers like you 🤮🤮🤮
BEST WORLD CONVENTION EVEN THO ALL I HAVE BEEN TO WERE GREAT.
I have 42 days. Yay
20 days clean off opiates. Listening to this stuff helps
I'm glad I got sober. Coming up on 6 months without a drink
Keep it up
Good job David. 2 suggestions that have worked well for me. Stay connected, via zoom meetings (for now), phone calls and the book, daily. I have found the #1 reason for people going out is drifting away from the herd. They stopped going to meetings. I've heard it many times from those who come back with arrows in their ass. Your mind will start telling you it's ok to drink. And secondly, there is nothing going on in your life that a drink will fix. Most likely it will make it worse. Good luck my brother..
Good for you keep it up!!!!
I'm 2 years clean and sober, thanks for your story
"The loneliness of the alcoholic", that only a fellow alcoholic can understand. Thank you, Tony. Gregg M.
Simp
@@dadafish1 maybe you should hit urban dictionary .... thats not what a simp is... have a good day
Bait and switch. Dishonorable. disfuntional evil cult
Being an academy award winner and in the limelight I wouldn’t have thought someone would allow this to be on CZcams but then I thought how many people he could help to achieve sobriety. What a great AA message !!
My last drink was Christmas of 2010 and am so grateful that I am a member.
Thanks Tony, I hope someday I meet you at a meeting.
✊🏽 35 days!
Eddie Ca. That’s great man! A miracle indeed. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Keep it up. I’ll be at 60 day’s on Nov 11
Eddie Ca. How about now?
Eddie Ca. Brilliant. Bay Area CA👍
1 year and 35 days?
It never fails to amaze me how much our stories are the same. In the gutter or in silk sheets. Thank you for sharing

What a wonderful gift to have this amazing human as my friend.
I was 17 months sober then relapsed I'm now 2 weeks sober thanks for your story
Im 39 years sober. Number doesn't matter. I promise myself 24 hours sobriety.... 25 hours , no promises. If I drink again I pray to get sober.
So so cool!!! Hi to everyone from Russians in recovery 🥰❤️🇷🇺
Hi from San Jose, California!
Hi !!
I love Chuck C I still think of him often,,,,,he was a very good spesker
I have a friend with 42 years sober who got sober in the Pacific group his sponsor is still alive and also an actor he has great stories and memories of the Pacific group my son lives in LA so last year I made it to a meeting there very welcoming people
When I first got sober at 29, it was nothing to work a full day, then walk to a meeting, every day . I'm 70 now, almost blind and lame from an auto/pedestrain accident so I don't get around like I used to. BUT.... how wonderful is it that I can go to a speakers meeting every day, anytime I want by going to CZcams. Thank you CZcams and all the generous posters out there that pulled my bacon out of the fire many many times. I'm very greatful.
"BUT..." lol, usually everything after 'but' is BS.
BUT... your attitude brightened my day in this quarantine.
I feel for the newcomers now during the quarantine. I hope they find YT like we have. I should be in my regular Saturday meeting right now BUT... I needed to meet you. (and I learned Tony still needs a tune up too)
There are TONS of meetings now on Zoom with the Covid lock down. It's not the same as going to meetings and seeing peeps in person, but it's way better than no meeting. Check with the NY about info.
Stuck inside thanks to the coronavirus - but this proved to be a great substitute for the meeting I needed today!
Craig Nelson greetings from Craig Philip Nelson.
Zoom. No excuses. I say that for you AND me! 🙂
Plenty of great meetings on Skype too. Search first164yp. They meet Monday through Friday 8pm CET
aamiamidade.org/online-local-group-meetings Come join us for some Zoom meetings in Miami...You are not alone.
@@pbar41 Be very careful of the dishonorable dysfunctional. wannabe a 1930s bar fly cult
Mr. Hopkins not only are you an amazing actor. You are an amazing man. You are such an inspiration to me and for my recovery. Thank you for your message it was outstanding!
Sincerely,
Lynn M. from Pennsylvania
It's been way too long since I have been at a meeting. After 27 years of sobriety, I find that I forget how important these meetings are. I have always been a fan of Mr. Hopkins, and I am so grateful that he spoke at that this meeting. We know that, it doesn't matter if you are a celebrity, the average person, or the person trying to make it. Thank you sir.
I love listening to this when I cant find a meeting. We are blessed that us aa people get to hear Anthony's story
Thanks Tony im 131 days sober
Your words captured my ear ...Thank you
Stay safe nice kitten
I love being clean and sober
His humility is inspiring in itself! He's one of the biggest film stars in the world and he opens himself up to strangers. It's easy to imagine how many people in HIS position with EXACTLY his problem would never dream of standing in front of their "lessers" and saying "I'm not a Hollywood star, I'm an EFFing drunk just like all of you!" That takes courage a lot of people don't have.
Actor Anthony Hopkins has such a warm melodious, captivating, musical, and distinctive voice. I can recognize it immediately & love to hear him speak.
Thank you. 28 years and counting and I needed this today. It truly is a one day at a time program.
Thank you Mr. Hopkins, I truly enjoyed listening to you Sir.
Thank God I did`nt wake-up with a hangover today.
Me too
My dearest Mr. Hopkins, I have been your fan all my life. This is my first time listening to an AA speech. I'm yet to attend a meeting. You're better than I could have imagined, really entertaining and inspiring.
Wonderful listening to Anthony H. Her 3xplains alcoholism soooo well. I really get it soberity is the only way
Was wound up over something, loosing my head. Missed my meeting at work stewing and something just told me to listening to a recorded meeting and this was the first one that came. For a half hour I got out of my head and changed my outlook on the day. Cant say why I was even bothered before. 1 year, 7 months, 29 days sober. Thank you for your share Tony.
Congratulations. We can be sober for just today. I hope to be a newcomer forever in this mindset. It is a reminder that I need to practice AA for today
Thank You Sir Anthony Hopkins for your inspiration.
WOW! I never knew till today he was on of us, so happy i found this!!!
Check out the Famous Speakers playlist on White Chip page
White Chip all the videos are private?
It is amazing, what he has talked about in his past is so similar to so many of us.
90 days sober thank you for sharing tony
Thank you so much Mr. Hopkins, you broke your anonymity and that is yours to do. It has helped a lot of people. When I came in around 1983 Betty Ford and Joan Kennedy showed me the way up in Dallas, Texas. If those two women could admit they had a drinking problem then maybe I could too. Anonymity is the foundation of our program, however, it is a useful tool to use as well. You are such a great guy as well as in your profession.
He didn’t break his anonymity, it was an AA meeting. The traditions were written for a good reason.

Whoot whoot!!!

Congrats, Nikki!
Nikki Rev ASMR Plus
👏👏👏🙏♥️
Nikki Rev ASMR Plus Keep coming back!
Sober for a year and a half. Great to hear the story of Sir Anthony Hopkins. What a wonderful actor and an even more wonderful human.
I hope I can get sober again one day.
You can.
My heart and love go with you.
Justin Chaney You can do it my friend. Do service, find a sponsor and do the steps. It works..
Go to an AA meeting and talk to another Alcoholic.
We will be here with our doors open and a warm embrace, whenever you’re ready to come back. We are waiting for you.
Almost 3 years going strong! 12 steps
Red flags get out of the dishonorable dysfunctional wannabe 1930s bar fly cult
@@easygoing7500 lol. Poor sap. Generally, a cult has a leader. All servants in this “cult”. If I hand to pick one, this would be it. Good luck on your lonely journey.
Thankyou Anthony, amazing 8 years sober. Thankyou AA members. 🤗 Grace of god.
I want to say thank you Tony, I'm 39 and I feel exactly as you do. I hope the future gets brighter as yesterday was my first day sober.
Celebrating 11 years on July 10. Thank you for your service. I'm part Scottish.
I needed a meeting and found this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
same here
:-)
Same
I'm struggling with alcohol.thank you anthony
Dule Perez
Prayers for courage to win, one day at a time! ♥️🙏✌️
Don't live before the miracle happens
I suggest going to a meeting , grabbing a sponser , anybody for starters , anybody that has a working knowledge of the steps. And getting started 😊
Hey! We’ve been there brother. I know I have, find a meeting, find someone that you feel has something you want (not money) and ask them to help you.
Go to meeting and don't` drink between meetings, read the book, find a sponcer and help some one.
The longest i have done is 3yrs, that was after rehab(the only time i did go). I have relapsed several times since then.
It's so uplifting reading through the comments and finding guys 20+ yrs sober.
Am just 3days in currently.
I will greatly treasure & appreciate any positive advice/suggestion.
Thanks
Get loads of meetings Lionel. That's the only way I know.
Lots of fellowship with other alcoholics, as in AA.
Lionel GO BACK TO MEETINGS and Get into the steps this time... Lionel, you KNOW this program works...Alot of us had to play around with it for a time.... BUT our Alcoholism DID NOT GO AWAY........So eventually it (booze itself)drove us back..And when we finally worked the program as it is SUGGESTED.....it finally worked for us too...
A famous person like Tony is a great inspiration to us alcoholics.
Thank you for sharing. Alcoholism/addiction doesn't discriminate. Doesn't care if you have a deep-water dock with a yacht and servants or you're living in a shed with a leaky roof. It affects all colours, education levels, social status, IQ, or any other metric. It is the great equalizer and is a spirtual sickness. Very good to hear you.
Thank you, Tony. I drank for 15 years also having gone to a party in 1970 and didn't get home until '85. One day at a time since 3/19/85 and a very happy customer.XXXIV
Tears in my eyes, nose all blocked up with emotion - I also think AA is the best thing in my life. Thanks for sharing
9 22 90 Never knew if I was an alcoholic or an addict. It’s all the same. I chose AA as my program of choice! I m so alive and so happy to have 28 Years of one day at a time consistent sobriety! ( still hit n those meetings and working a program )
What are you working ? a drunk story or keep it simple?
Just happened upon this randomly. There was alcoholism in my family, and I married one (and divorced, twice, then he passed away of heart issues a few years ago. He did stop the drinking, thanks be to God). My weakness was bad relationships, not alcohol. Whatever our problems, God has an answer, when we finally listen! This is a wonderful speech and I applaud all who are working the steps, one day at a time! God bless you!

Thanks for reminder! ✌️
I am so grateful thank you God. Fantastic. Talk Anthony Hospinks. You are just amazing,^
7 months sober by the grace of god
No.. because you stopped drinking. Simp
You just made this New Yorkers day. God bless you. I thought I was from another planet as well growing up.
That was a very beautiful telling of your life! I’m new to AA, but I have found the same happiness and a normal life! Good and bad days, like all people, and to me that is glorious!
Oh, God Tony. Hilarious and heart breaking. I’ve never heard anyone describe their school days like you did. It’s exactly how I felt. Thank you. 🍃🌷🍃
Your share was exactly what I needed today...thank you soooo much..in a time of no face to face meetings, you have been my meeting !
God love him. Even though he is Anthony Hopkins, brilliant, successful actor, his story is so similar to so many of us. It is amazing. the feeling like an 'alien' in childhood is another common thing. I felt the same way also. To this day I struggle with feeling different. This disease does not discriminate--it hits all walks of life.
Happy birthday AA ...June 10, 1935 😃😎
June 10th 1935 is when AA started?
Thank you Tony, I’m 101 days soba now, and I to feel like I’ve come home. Oh I fort it with everything I had, till it I thought I was dying. Your words spoke to me and reminded me I am home, thanks again 👍
Wonderful share. With thanks Tony H!
Tony, this has changed my life. Thank you
I'm so glad that so many people with public influence decide to break their anonymity. This program is such a blessing.
The steps save us. The traditions save the fellowship.
What an amazing share!!! Thank you so much Tony for opening up your heart to us. I’ve always admired you for your incredible acting skills, now I have an even more admiration for you.
I’m proud to be clean and sober 3 months and 17 days.
Currently in self quarantine with everything going on and having the flu myself (common cold). All tv and no meetings makes Lauren a squirrelly girl 🤪
You’ve helped keep me sober another day!
Hopefully ur doing well .sending message from ireland .
thanks for sharing! been hard not being able to go to meetings!
yup...its a trip
Preston Lovinggood We’ll get through this together. Hope you’ve been able to check out some zoom meetings! They are being held literally every hour of the day!!
Lauren Ramirez for whatever reason i keep putting it off! imma do it
Thank you Sir! 29 years clean and sober. Husband also. We met in rehab in 1989!
Why don't we boast and brag .
niall441 you’re a complete and total Skell. Stop trolling these people and get the fuck off.
niall441 because if you slip and drink again it makes it harder for you to overcome your ego to admit your mistake.
Thank you Tony for sharing your experience, strength & hope. The program does work if you work it ONE DAY AT A TIME ❤️
What a great story. Speaker meetings have always been my favorite
Thank you, Tony. You're great on every level.
The Pacific group love love this. Thanks Tony
WE all have so much in common, at the end of he day!
I appreciate your service❤️
Thanks for your pitch Mr Hopkins!! I love the broad range of friends with bill.
Thank you Sir Anthony Hopkins. This disease is no respect or of person
PS thank you for your service , thank you for making these tapes available . Helping to carry the message that There is a Solution🙂
Tradition Eleven states "Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films".
Sean disapproves
This is absolutely awesome and a special treat indeed! I just celebrated 8 years thank you so much AA and Anthony!! Definitely joining on Facebook !wow!! 👏❤️👏👏❤️
Been trying hard to quit. Self medication got the better of me before proper treatment took hold. Now I take meds and drink every night...sigh
"Allergy of the body and obsession of the mind" is the first thing that really stuck with me in the early days of sobriety. It is something from AA that applies to so many things in this world; alcohol, drugs, sex, porn, etc and no matter how much we consume, its never enough.
Found AA things on CZcams as we trudge our roads to happy destiny amid COVID happenings globally. I am so grateful to be a sober 18 Year member. A Brit living in CA since 1981 and so glad I discovered AA on CZcams. A meeting a day keeps the alcohol away!
This is such a fantastic speech.
Thank you Anthony H.
This was outstanding. I needed to hear this.
Thank you for your service Tony.
6 days sober. I'm looking into AA and planning to attend some online meetings on my days off. Wish me luck!
Good luck man. I'm about the same. You might be about 2 weeks now.
@@p1nesap 2 weeks sober today. It is funny how I've made excuses not to stop my entire drinking career lol and now it is so easy to just say no. Well it has only been 2 weeks. I imagine it will get more difficult with time but I'm ready to face it! Good luck to you as well!
I am grateful for EVERYONE'S recovery from ANY substance (or other) abuse💃⚘✔💖
Wow, thank you for sharing this Tony. I know this was a long time ago but it is as relevant today as it was then.
What a great meeting! Thank you for this post.🎀🙏
Thank you Tony!! You are a true inspiration!!!!
EXCELLENT SHARE, I NEEDED THIS
This is the only voice that I need to hear today. As the years go on the more I feel pain. As the sobriety goes on the more I want to drink. However I like this better being alive and grateful despite my different brain Anthony Hopkins I love you
Thank you for such a beautiful share. I have 4 years.
"visions of becoming a country western singer" - so good.
Thank you Tony a fellow friend of Bill’s
Tony I so needed a good laugh today.
Thank you for sharing! Nice to be able to catch up on speakers that I have always wanted to hear :)
Thanks for sharing this video. It has confirmed my willingness today to stay on the path of recovery. If someone of Tonys status, who can have anything he wants in life needs AA, then a commoner such as I surely needs it too 🙏🏻
I too, have never accepted Earth as my home planet! Thanks for your share. 7-23-86 to present and very grateful.
Almost 14 years thank u for video
Walked into the rooms oct. 16th 2004......and I keep coming back. These open talks are great if you can get to a meeting. Prayers to those who still suffer.
I listened to this lead when was not 2 years sober and I was. Michigan working. What a amazing man. God Bless you 🙏❤️. Keep the faith. I'm traveling Internationally To Thialand. Going to room to listen again. Thanks for your experience, strength, hope!!!
