Religion disguised as "spirituality" is NOT the only way or the most successful approach. A professionally trained counselor and Cognitive Behavior Therapy worked for me where the 12-step program didn't. AA is fine if you actually believe that faith healing works. It's the 21st century, people. If you go to AA, notice the number of 1 day chips they give out and compare that to the number of 1 year chips they give out. The dismal "success" rate of AA is obvious.
i drink about 3 40 ounces a day?? is it bad i have been doing it every day for a couple months i think im turning into a alcoholic.. but at least its not hard shit>>>. forties up!!!!
the best advice i can give someone that wants to quit drinking is to get a way from the bad influences that's how i did it and this is going to be my sixth year sober from drugs
Im searching for help with my drinking and almost all these youtube videos on AA i hear someone say GOD,,,if i gotta believe in god for it to help me then im fucked cause there aint no god,,,,just like there aint no santa claus.
@hanoitwin , well I am here find me on FACEBOOK SEARCH KELLIE LEVANS hit my web site and go to recovery page hit all links on that page we need to start somewhere okay?
@hanoitwin What does a folklore gotta do with believing in God? I see it all the time when a kid finds out they're is no santa they also thinks there is also no God but the difference is Santa is a way for parents to trick their childern into being good while God is something obscure and a necessity for existence.
@Kidkel69 Went to a meeting hear in covina ca at the alono club and returned the next day, today will be the first day of my sobriety and im feeling really good !
@starlost1957 That's the beauty of AA, whatever works for you and then you share your experience, strength and hope with others. Then we take what we need and leave the rest behind. Thank you for the other meanings of GOD...anything to help the cause is appreciated!!
this video makes me wanna get fucked up.... let's see what i got here... adderall 20mg's, klonopin 1mg's, ambien 10mg's, ultram 50mg's, and norco 5/325 mg's
I hate to tell you this my queen but the curcle and the triangle in it is a sighn of the secret scociety and the brotherhoods. You arte in a religion that is part of the Illuminati and the free masons. If you ad another tri. in the curcle and flip it 3 times and look at it side ways you are looking at the seal of the devil and the blessing from the pPope
The Catho. church is a cult. and is part of the Illuminati. The pope is not god but many people think that he has a direct line to god in the pearly gates of heaven. but he is a thief and a lier of all lies. the movie davin. code explanes all about the evil empire of the viti
Has anyone heard of the Illuninati? The frree mason? Well there are many secret org. that are in the mold of the umbrella of a cult and a n underground org.
That meet place looks rather like a seady bar.I like that. With undergound room to somkoke smot as it was said in the Illuminaty! I am still wanting to confront a youtuber from UK as this person humil. me by calling mewe an aver average BOOZER! HE WILL BURN IN HELL FOR THAT! So UK!!! WE NEED TO TALK IF YOU ARE READING THIS. YOU BASTERD! YOU ARE THE ALCI> A CHEAP DRUNK. You are trolling aroung d you tube land like an in visible ghost!
One of the Promises is "We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it."
So it appears your little meeting was MOTR. If sloganing your ass keeps you sober, get down. But me, I need a message that carries substance and weight.
Your past, especially the bad shit, holds the key to our future. Look at it, just don't stare.
"The Promises" We read them at our meeting. How many "promises" can you get? From anyone? Promises are rare. I can't think of ANYONE that makes promises - except AA. Years ago, when I first heard the promises, it sounded like BS, but slowly, as I stayed sober and began really living the program, I realized that the promises were REAL. My life has been TRANSFORMED by AA thinking and AA values.
Sobriety is very overrated. Responsible drug use can make your life a lot better. Drugs have given me some of the most interesting, enjoyable and inciteful experiences of my life. And bragging about sobriety is even worse. Congratulations, you can not do something. It's not that difficult to not do something, and if sobriety's really as great as you say why is it so hard to stay sober? Bragging about how long you can not do something is kind of lame.
i love AA meetings i have used for ten years and the longest period of sobriety is nine months. i went back out and came back in and now have almost four months. i am working on the fourth step with my sponsor. congratulations to everyone who stayed sober today. i love AA without it i would have surely died.
I am a confirmed recovering alchoholic with 24 years of sobriety stricly due to AA. They saved my life, I have a sponser and I sponser a few people. I will be forever greafull to AA. I am not the same person who I was 24 yrs ago. No blackouts, no puking all over, no insulting people, not living in shame, not hating everyone, etc. People make fun of AA and call it a cult but we are far from that. Our purpose, individually and personally is to help people. I saved my life for a dollar a meeting
Thank you for putting up a video that is a real reflection of AA, although its not long it still makes me proud to c that there r some videos that are not just mocking the AA fellowship. Im 15 and an Alchoholic, and i want to educate more people on the program....so right on thank u!
just turn 31 going to stop drinking.. im trying to start a blog on here for AA poeple don;t now yet,, never stop drinking before i stop my drug uses but i don't smoke too. i drank everyday for 10 years. almost. but anyways bye.
This is a great message. Finally my sorry ass has been dragged in to the rooms. First time around meant nothing to me. Now prepared to accept my problem and face up to it, with all the bad bits as well.. Good luck to you. We all need a strong message.
my mum was sober for four years couple weeks ago she started drinking again :) she dosent want to go an aa meeting like she used to or rehab =/ congrattttts thoo :) xxxx
Great message! Glad you have the will to stay sober. Now I know you're smart! I've got cirrhosis of the liver and the doctor ordered me to never drink alcohol again. I haven't been a heavy drinker for nearly 27 years but I was until I turned 26 years old. But now I can't even have that infrequent drink, but that's okay, booze just makes me sick anyway. Cheers! To the sober and the staying sober!
Congrats on three years! You'll probably get a few comments on the smoking. I don't understand why people call that a habit - it's an addiction, just like drinking, and just as hard to quit. Maybe even harder for some.

I will pray for your mom.Find her AA books and tell her to read.She will get sober again, it is called a slip. Get her the books!
Kidkel69 3 years ago
Tell her that AA is not the only way. AA does not fit everyone.
The important thing is finding PERSONAL recovery that works for the individual and NOT adhering to the rigid dogma of one particular recovery group.
Some need a more self-empowered recovery than the "powerless" recovery of AA. Contrary to popular belief, most people get sober without AA.
Other recovery groups include SOS, LifeRing, SMART, Rational Recovery, Women for Sobriety, and others.
If AA did not work for her after 4 years...
