I found this video in the first year of my sobriety and it absolutely clarified my understanding of my own alcoholism and the cornerstone of the program. Powerlessness. Thanks for this. It saved my life. I am coming up on 5 years in April.
This is amazing. I am restarting the 12 and my sponsor had me watch this after reading the doctors opinion-pg29 there is a solution. I watched this with my big book and a pen. I watched it over a few sessions, taking notes. The speaker breaks down our text in very simple terms, cutting out our frequent human made program complications and goes through 1,2, & 3 according to the text and with the text. I feel more confident and competent now in raising my hand to be a sponsor. Doc opinion-
Wow. This is probably the best explanation of how I’ve been feeling for 28 years. I couldn’t work out why once I start drinking I can’t stop... this has inspired me to sign up to AA. Thank you
I think its disgusting reading thru some of these comments and so many of yall think its a joke....talkn bout how youre drinking while youre watching this. Sorry if you find this speaker "boring," but youre watching him, correct? Clearly, u people talkn shit about sobriety and the speaker....have more issues than just alcohol. You should be ashamed of yourself. Hes teaching us......not trying to entertain us.
The basis of AA though not implicit is the Spiritual truth that all humans suffer from a spiritual malady, according to Scripture. Alcoholics also just so happen to have an allergic reaction to alcohol which also just so happens to temporarily relieve our spiritual malady until it doesn't anymore.
I’m watching this to take a step towards 1. I’m sitting here drinking and I want to recover but I’m scared of sobriety and being alone with my thoughts.
It’s not you that’s scared..it’s the illness telling you you’re scared..put that illness under its rock..get a power greater than you and keep it under its rock. You will never do it yourself because that system fails..get a new system with a higher power in your life
I'm a recovered alcoholic who drank for many year's. I quit drinking with the help of AA, but I have to say that it was NOT because of the 12 step's that I stopped drinking and have not even had the desire for a drink in almost 20 year's now. What got me to stop drinking is I got myself to stop lying to myself and I had friend's who gave me the support of remaining my friend's as I went through the withdrawal and the depression that comes when an alcoholic quit's. I also had had enough of drinking and all that comes along with it. If you are having a hard time telling your self the truth, then I gotta say that AA isn't the place for you because you will be aligned with MANY people who are making it by faking it, instead of taking responsibility they are duped into believing they are powerless against alcohol and the behavior that causes it. Alcohol is a replacement for something you are lacking and if it is self esteem then alcohol will take you down further and then believing that you are powerless will cause you to become a victim. Now if this works for people that can not find another way and they like being led by the nose then fine, but In my own case I was a BAD alcoholic and did MANY bad thing's because of it and had to ask myself why I can't just be mild and love myself. So I did and now it's around 20 year's later and I am still alcohol free and If I want a drink someday then I will, It's that easy. Alcohol can not control you unless you allow it to. Don't be fooled into thinking you are a victim of alcohol, you are NOT, YOU have the power to put it away and leave it away, be honest with yourself at all cost. I still have many friend's in AA and I bring my message to tables when I have the time. Be your own self.
@@MrEAgLeRuNnEr07 Nope you are wrong. I drank for over 30 year's and contracted pancreatitis more than 20 time's and could NOT stop drinking. It developed into pancreatic cancer and I went thru 3 year's of chemo and radiation to put it into remission, which I am one of only a handful of people in the US who are in remission from 2nd stage pancreatic cancer. I could NOT stop drinking and didn't until I had a serious talk with myself about being truthful about my addiction. AA NEVER helped me except for the fact that I had some place to go that reminded me that I am still alive and need to quit. Telling myself I was powerless over alcohol only made me worse, it made me a victim and I was NOT a victim I am a strong person who made the conscious decision that alcohol isn't helping me with ANYTHING. My friend's and family all knew I was an alcoholic and I drank at the most inopportune time's and that was ALL the time. You may THINK that AA is the only way to stop drinking but you have been brainwashed by this group and made to follow a supernatural mean's to help you. Sorry but AA has a TERRIBLE rate of re use and death of it's member's. In the first year I was in AA 5 people killed themselves in my alano group and the vast majority went back to drinking. I helped many people follow the way I quit and all of them are still here today. I think AA is good if you already have a religious upbringing, but if you have any doubt's about religion and the existence of a god then AA is only going to make that feeling stronger if you are working with a rational mind that is strong. I suggest you get some more formal training before you say someone isn't an alcoholic, you are more than wrong.
@@MrEAgLeRuNnEr07 I'm not trying to discourage ANYONE from using AA to stop drinking. What I am doing is telling the truth and if you are an AA member then you KNOW what I am talking about. A religious answer to abstaining from alcohol abuse only works for those who already carry a heavy faith in a god, people who do NOT will only find it to be a recruitment center into a life of religious half truth's and outright lie's-. I had a kid I was sponsoring that was doing very well for 6 month's , stayed away from the alcohol and kept in constant contact with me on a daily basis until another person at the Alano club we held our meetings at convinced him that the ONLY answer to his addiction was God and told him to " Let go and Let God" Shortly after he relapsed because he was counting on a supernatural force to cure him of his addiction. He killed himself shortly after. The sad part of this was that he was not the only one that year who took their own life when the God answer didn't help them. They were counting on something that is not there to do the work for them, and I have seen this so many times at tables where people tell newly recovering people to hand it all to god, and when it didn't produce result's, they resorted to suicide. I agree that AA can help people and does for many but if they can not muster honesty along with the giving it to god then it never work's.
@@randysnewbiebluesrockguita7782 that happens when recovery work is stopped and setting expectations on things to happen on their own, in turn things not going our way and eventually quitting on life. AA is not a religious program it’s a spiritual program, big difference, faith in something greater than ourselves. If you’re still sober good on you, but don’t knock something that’s worked for many people. “Contempt prior to investigation is as much a symptom of alcoholism as cirrhosis of the liver”
There were atheists in AA from the beginnning and they wanted a secular program' As it was Bill W's baby however; he compromised with them referring to them as agnostics and the term 'as you understand him' was tacked on to the end of step 3. This video, as well as the speaker breaking the tradition of personal anonymity at the level of media, perpetuates the religiously based myth that Bill W brought to AA. People get sober despite this pressure to believe in god, not because of it. The fellowship can provide consistant support of like-minded people who want to stop drinking and who otherwise left to their own devices and more importantly thinking, would at some point be destined to pick up the first drink and start the ball rollling again. If you want the program of AA as a way to live your life, then go ahead, but it is not mandatory or a requirement to stay sober - which I have done since 1982.
Jean Woods your never alone I promise you god or no god your never alone I lost my parents to this disease watched my dad die in front of me my mom killed herself 9months later I swear I was hopeless I promise plz your not alone find meetings get a sponsor do the steps (or don’t) of you just go to the meetings I swear to you you’ll feel something
just dont drink for 3 mos no matter what....and quit thinking about Your Problems....kids dying of starvation is a problem... you have a situation.... go to the gym....read....etc....find new ways to relax....wish ya the best
I'm ok relapsed during covid but I'm trying some things with fit recovery. Taking nutrients and using kava kava with cbd oil. I also am using kudzu so when I actually know im going to drink I take it and it kind of turns me off to the taste and pleasure of it.
You gotta make up your mind yourself. No one else will. I am better at preaching than practicing though. I am drinking right now. You can do it tho. Im too smart for this drinking, but its like i dont want to be. Alcohol is fucking me up. I hope both of us can get through it
only one Mr X Only one Mr y go to AA meeting today is my first time and I was scared but it's my first step.... Go on line and check for AA meetings in your area.... NY 212-647-1680 call
I want this class in maverick county, knowlege and crazy journals... "Maaaan, my mamma is sick and i am here in AA when i could be taking care of here.. my mama man, she is everyfhing for me,.sese... " Mexican cholo with almost all subtance abuse
If you are an alcoholic watching this video, just know that if you decide to go the AA way you are going to have to remove any sort of personal responsibility for your drinking that you may feel. If you feel like you are a victim that can not quit unless you have some sort of supernatural guidance then this will be the place for you, it may not help you to stop, but it WILL make you feel like you can't. If you decide to stop lying to yourself and get to the heart of the matter about just what you feel that alcohol is doing for you, then you can come to the truth. Alcoholic's always feel that alcohol is doing something for them until it turns on them and they become an addict and find that it never did anything that they couldn't do without it. People in AA are nice people for the most part and are seriously struggling to find a way to stop and stay stopped, but they have given far too much power to the drug and they try to anthropomorphize the substance. YOU have the power to stop, you can use god as a support system but it isn't going to make you quit and stay quit, Honesty is the only thing that will allow you to stop, not a god or a group. You are NOT powerless to stop, you are the one who must make that decision for yourself and if you want every chance that you can get, than AA is not going to allow that, they want you to follow a religious answer and that is not a reliable way to stop. YOU have the POWER.

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable. For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powersh 39 nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. “Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding.”-PROVERBS 3:5. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. “Openly confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may get healed.” (James 5:16) Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. “In my flesh, there dwells nothing good.” (Romans 7:18) Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. “If, then, you are bringing your gift to the altar and you there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go away; first make your peace with your brother, and then, when you have come back, offer up your gift.”-Matt. 5:23, 24. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs. Jesus said to him: “Get up! Pick up your mat* and walk.”+ 9 And the man immediately got well, and he picked up his mat* and began to walk. Bill W. Quotes this one in the big book ^^^ Jesus says, 'no one comes to the Father except through me.' (If you are rationalising, you are doing something wrong - mine) Jehovah is God, may He pour His Holy Spirit out upon us. Jesus Christ is Lord, Saviour and King. Maybe I'll stick around A.A. in case I can help someone else. The teachers shall be judged more harshly than the students. Jehovah has the final say.
I feel like the teachers need to be judged more harshly than the others most definetly needs a revision....maybe judgement itself needs to be revised....if God is indeed Love an All that's it's meant to be...maybe that is meant to be dissected an searched for...I think in kindness an of God whispering to a child as the quintessential message of recovering....Whispering a name personally..an reassuredly letting said person know..everything is gonna be alright
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF EVERYTHING. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE . AA & NA is the blind leading the blind. GOD THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING IS MORE THAN ABLE TO CURE YOU. EVERYTHING IS CURABLE WITH CHRIST! GOD IS THE HEALER.

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powersh 39 nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
“Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding.”-PROVERBS 3:5.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
“Openly confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may get healed.” (James 5:16)
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
“In my flesh, there dwells nothing good.” (Romans 7:18)
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
“If, then, you are bringing your gift to the altar and you there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go away; first make your peace with your brother, and then, when you have come back, offer up your gift.”-Matt. 5:23, 24.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
