  • One of the best and most inspirational women AA speakers I have heard! June does such an amazing job of telling her story in a fun way, with lots of laughs, but still holds on to the seriousness of the illness of alcoholism. Thank you so much for sharing such a powerful story of recovery!
    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. You can trust Odomtology 12-Step Recovery Media to be synonymous with the best online recovery material out there. QUALITY is our mission. This is why we have such a large and engaged following.

    I've been sober in AA for over 18 and a half years. But it's only in the last 2 weeks that I've known that there are AA speakers on CZcams. My area doesn't have too many open speaker meetings anymore, so this is a real treat for me. All the speakers are excellent long-term sobriety. It's 1:30 in the morning and I feel like I need a meeting and voila! God bless all the speakers that allow themselves to be taped!!

    Thank you for speaking, so powerful I am currently homeless and my addiction caused this and it is an eye opener! Been sober for 8months from alcohol and three months free from weed so thankful to be free from addictions! Very overwhelmed with homelessness but don’t ever want to go back to weed or alcohol it ruined me! And my family got hurt because of my addictions! Never want to ruin anyone, life is too precious.

    This is literally insane. I'm not even 20 minutes in yet I'm hearing my story to a tee. From the suicide, wanting to be a boy, rather feel physical pain to mom meeting men and becoming bfs overnight. This woman is me. Ik they say how we think we're unique and all. That we aren't. That we would hear our story from someone else. But idk they meant this literal. This woman and I have so much in common. I'm so grateful my sponsor sent me this link. Looking forward to the rest of this video.

      June, I am floored by your talk. I went to young people's meetings with a sober boyfriend in Laguna, before I ever drank. I remember you.
      Flash forward, I am 49 and am struggling hourly. I got 2yr chips twice. Now I cannot function without my two cartons of Pinot Gregio from CircleK before buying Bud Light for my husband and I to drink together.
      I'm in Phoenix now. COVID is rampid. Help.

    I can so relate to your pain of the past of wanting to die ditto, as I work through after 33 years of grievous pain I'm so glad to read the title don't quit before the miracle, I've experienced many miracles of alcoholics anonymous and it still a wonderful program but now God has shown me a new Awakening,coda , to extend and truly be joyous happy and free I'm trying to cling to see the promises I know that are waiting for me

    nothing is a 100% rule....some people relapse before they finally quit...some people quit and never go back..i know people who were chronic alcoholics and never went to a meeting...and all 3 are over 20 years sober....i know people who go to meetings and are in and out of sobririety....in my studies long term sober people have a serious high nutrition scheduel..they eat healthy and stay off sugar..most alcoholics are hypoglycemic....good book called " Under The Influience.
    Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of Alcoholism
    James Robert Milam......im sober since 1991....and with no AA meetings....thats 27 years...people say i should go to meetings because if you dont youll drink again.......see.....people have their rules that apply to them...would i tell anyone not to go to a meeting ??...no never...some people need it......so dont tell people that a relapse is part of getting sober...it happens but it is not a given..dont scare people and dont write other peoples program.....we....are...all...different

      Nope. Happens more than we’d like to think. First time I got drunk - age 7. Wasn’t drinking alcoholicly ‘til age 14. NEVER would have considered stopping at that age. Had 21 more years of drinking.
      Fast forward - 25 years sober in AA this year. Life is good!! God is good!!!
