I had over 18 months sober and started building resentments towards a lot of people. Went out and drank and I’m now 1 day sober by the grace of God and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Bless you we need you! Keep coming back ✨⭐️
Hope you’re still with us. 🙏
Great keep going
It's been 2 years. How is the journey going??
Hope you are ok, love. I get it.
I love Scott Lee. He has step 4 down. It’s not an easy step “but it just may be a little on the long side”. Emerge from the ashes like the Phoenix.
Today I'm 4 months sober 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I thank GOD 🙏 H'ALLELUJAH 🙏 AMEN 🙏 PRAISE THE GOOD LORD 🙏
Àre you still sober? I have 10months in 8 days!!
@@steveowens3199 I AM🌹 I've been alcohol free since 9/11/19🌻 I'm EXTREMELY thankful for my sobriety. I don't even miss drinking and that's a blessing🙏 I PRAY that you are just as fortunate.
This is just superb, I have been researching "what is an awakening soul" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Hiyanna Spiritual Suppositious - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.
Stick with the winner! You go!
@@catalindexx1271 I don't know what that is, but don't get too caught up in it. If you ever get caught up in something ( like I have several times) and get way off track, just come back to A.A. everything you need is here . EVERYTHING.
I’m 2 years sober this Christmas 2020 this man helped very much !
Are you still sober, God willing you are !🙏
I was sober for 11 years. No drugs, and no alcohol. What they say about the first drink is the deadly true. Until you truly surrender to a higher power your chances are less likely. God bless you all.
How are you ?
I remember Scott from Tennessee, just worked the fourth step and this is a great thing! I found myself getting rid of fears as writing the columns. I found out I have a passion for cooking since I was 7 years old. Showing up for my physical health and to the dentist is easier now, too.
Scott L has a way of speaking the program of AA and making it simple to understand. Thank you, Scott. God kept me sober thru my first 2 years. You helped me understand.
Wow Scott does an amazing job at explaining step by step the fourth step.
Thanks for a meeting Scott 😀
Oh im already loving this and shared it five times at 8 minutes in. GOD BLESS YOU
Excellent. When we stick to the book, the program sticks.

selfish, dishonest, self-seeking, and fear are all about self...thank you brother
DON'T take the first drink, DON'T judge others, remember, you're an alcoholic too. WHY are we surprised when people drink again? Alcoholism is a disease and sometimes, diseases can come back again. Reach out to someone who's drank again. You might just save their lives through Compassion and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. BE YOURSELF !
Amazing
You know I stayed sober for about a year I was going to meeting then I feel off and released and know one called to check on me other then my sponsor! It was hurtful! I'm still struggling but I'm going to meeting and putting the work in so hopefully I will feel better soon! But as soon as my house is in order ill do my part in reaching out to make sure when I don't see someone in a meeting for awhile im going to reach out to that person! Thanks
Tried that one with Sean J. 7 years later still getting and hitting that Liq. 👨🏿🚀
Amen To that
Take the steps and become recovered! 🙏🙏🏽 That IS Alcoholics Anonymous, the first 164 pages are AA!
THANK YOU, I HAVEN'T HAD A DRINK IN 9 YEARS AND HAVE NOT BEEN TO A MEETING IN 5 YEARS. I WAS WONDERING WHY A RESENTMENT HAS BEEN EATING ME UP AND LOOKING FOR SOME PEACE AND I HAVE FOUND SOME
850JEFF Just reading this four months later... hope you got it sorted out, man!
850JEFF resentment took me back out. Bad!! So bad. I’m going back into meetings. Step one. Thank you for sharing.
Did you do a 4th step?
R U CLEAN TODAY?
@@aphysique yes, I just finished a bachelor's degree and am now a licensed professional surveyor and mapper.
Regarding new comers, let’s all refer to the 4th step w hope, not “the dreaded 4th step. The negativity creates fear and a needless barrier and avoidance to the gift of freedom from steps 4 and 5.
I have been battling addiction my entire life. I have been able to stay clean from narcotics since 1994, but I never quit drinking. I thought booze was no big deal. Then one day I drank so much I was in an alcohol overdose and didn't even know. I was in critical condition. I have been sober since 2017. A long relapse.
Congrats 👏 🙏
Beautifully spoken ❤️❤️
one of the best
One day @ a time!! God Bless Uuuu!!
Thank you’ I have struggled with this , you have showed me best
Thank you for the truth
Just over two years sober. I’m having trouble with one resentment. My wife has a male friend that used to work with her and I was jealous of their friendship. He’s been retired a year and she talks to him for about 30 mins on phone 1-2 times a month. I’m assuming they text too and maybe talk from her work phone.
I don’t think it’s anything sexual affair. This was a problem for a few years when I was drinking. Today I don’t bring it up because we end up fighting. I eventually get “over it” until I find out she’s talking again.
This is truly about the only resentment I have. It’s hard to forgive something that tepeatly occurs and it’s painful at times. The good news is I’m not drinking one day at a time and God and AA and steps don’t allow me to lash out or take some poor actions. God is with me on how I behave which I’m so grateful for.
Than you for your wisdom.. after listening to you i am
Willing to do step four bless you man ..
How did it go?
Perfect way to explain Step 4! I was scared doing this step that I wouldn't do it perfectly. Glad to know my hest was good enough!!
best direction of 4th step

I'm sober 🙏🙏🙏🙏 H'ALLELUJAH 🙏🙏🙏🙏 AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I LOVE LISTENING TO THIS MEETINGS
So glad my sponsor did NOT use the "only 19 words" b s. MY sponsor ok'd it for me to words it like this for example: she embarrassed me in front kd her friends and Co workers, she flirted with clients, she left our daughter unattended, etc. I wanted to excise each and every ery issue and instance like an infected boil. 19 words doesn't do it. Thank you Lee J.😊
Well done ty 👏
I'm really very Grateful for this right now with the covid 19 keeping the rooms closed
Thank you..
for some odd reason i dont have a liscense-lol thanks for the meetiing
Step 1
Who is this? Love him!
Scott L. of Nashville.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Slow down!!!!
What if I don't believe in the christian god? Or any god for that matter?
I've read We Agnostics. Reads like a proselytizing handbook. Read the way people who don't believe are characterized. There is no positive spin or support for those who don't believe in a male deity. Disconcerting. But in the end, I keep coming back. Not picking up a drink or drug, one day at a time. Stacking days into weeks into months into years.
I have found that most people who come to AA do not believe in god. They do what Bill Wilson suggested and look for guidance from god as he expresses himself in our group conscience, I recommend looking up the definition of conscience, because it is basically what we believe to be true, good and right with regards to what is proper behavior. The group conscience is used because when sick we often do not have a clear image of which behaviors are good and healthy and right. Many people use the group conscience as their higher power, and this is not an alternative to the Big Book way, but is actually the suggested way in the book. The book also says that we pray ( in our own mind) only for knowledge of the will of this group conscience and the power to carry it out. It makes clear that prayer and meditation ( in our own minds) is the only way to achieve Psychic change, which is also called emotional change and to use the old timey word for psychic or emotional change they sometimes say spiritual change. This makes clear that you need to look to others, who are working on these same problems, for guidance to get your mind back on to a clear track, but that you and only you can have this psychic ( or as we say in modern times psychological) change based on a program of action. You have to remember that when this book was written, psychology was such a new field of study that most people had not heard the term, and if they had is was considered to be a newfangled theory which had just come around recently. Most people back then did identify with religion, and this book needed to emphasize religion over psychology in order to be taken seriously. In modern times we value just the opposite, but don't let that cloud your mind about the fact that this book says over and over that you need to change your mind by taking actions based on our collective understanding of right and wrong behavior. The book does not say that asking god to get his lazy as* in gear is how it works or the suggested solution. What people say in meetings on the subject is not necessarily what the book is saying. Just replace the word "god" with "group of drunks", replace "pray" with "remind your self often", and use meditation as what it is, which is to contemplate the correct answer to your questions about what the next right action is. I hope this helps, keep coming back!
Bill Deacon excellent
maybe try readiing the chapter we agnostics in the bb-i wish you the best
You can put your faith in a chair leg and it would be better than the idiot that's running your life now
Only 3 hours a week for hygiene? If you brush your teeth twice a day that comes to 70 min a week by itself..
You don’t have to pray for knowledge of Gods will(step 11). It’s in the Bible. Just read 1 Timothy 2:4-6. I waisted a year for some white light moment when His will would be revealed and it turns out it’s been made known for a long time🙄
I don’t believe in the Christian philosophy I heed to love & forgive my enemies. That’s up to God. I don’t play God. My higher power will forgive me and give me peace. i don’t need to ask my enemies for anything. I can forgive myself and love myself. Non Christian & Sober One day at a time.
