  • One of the most powerful stories of Recovery and Redemption I have ever heard from one of the most incredible AA speakers I have ever witnessed, this is Julie M.
    Hope for the future is such a powerful aspect of the 12 Step process and perhaps there is no example more powerful on our channel than this particular share. Julie is truly an inspiration and a testament to the Power of the Program. This tape will touch your heart and your soul. This share is a MUST listen!
    From the book Alcoholics Anonymous: "In spite of the great increase in the size and span of this Fellowship, at its core it remains simple and personal. Each day, somewhere in the world, recovery begins when one alcoholic talks with another alcoholic, sharing experience, strength, and hope."
    What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a "treatment for alcoholism" or "alcohol abuse?"
    From Wikipedia: "A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as 'spiritual principles,' based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism in 1939. The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems."
    You can find out more at: www.aa.org - Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site (And as should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with them or any other 12 step program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.)
    "Addiction treatment" WORKS! There is addiction help out there and "addiction recovery" is possible. If you are battling "alcohol addiction" there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like!
    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. Many need inpatient stays 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 substance abuse issues. Help IS out there! :)
    From the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous: "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny."

    OMG I am so glad I heard Julie. I really needed a meeting. I was getting very squirrelly and anxious. Julie is such an amazing woman. If she is grateful and happy with what she went through, I can be grateful as well.
    She is a miracle. God Bless you, Julie!

    I was laid off my bank job at 48 I decided to return to college. I am 51 now. Because of the members. AA I found programs to help me with book funding and Public aid to sustain myself barely. I am half done but I stood sober now 6 years 10-15-2010. I don't have time for meetings like before. I am tired a lot from studying but I love your story. although I never got caught so I never did jail time "yet". thank you, thank you. I am truly grateful that I can do my homework while I listen to meetings. I need this so much Thank you

    I am here
    and I have a poem
    Death was the best experience I ever had in my life.
    Not the deaths of others but the death of my own life the others I always
    would miss.
    My life before in Heaven told my soul this.
    I just still and only confuse the moonshine I made.
    I never thought it could have been hell.
    but others died around me that I always MISS
    and I know now they were in heaven for the hell I put everyone through.
    I pray they know I loved them because Alcohol and me are a selfish beast I know wont be drinking coffee in Heaven like the good farmers always have.
