Stevie Ray Vaughan A.A. meeting speech Part 3

[cavalrytm]

27 days after this was recorded, Stevie performed on MTV Unplugged.

Look it up on here, you can tell how clean, sober and happy he was... just by the way he was playing.

[bbnatedogg]

Thank you very much Brytar8! This is the most anyone who didn't know Stevie well personally will ever get a peak into the real Stevie!

[PunkMartyr]

His self discovery is so inquisitive and interesting. It really forces you to think about what he's saying.

[deathb4goof]

To zone65 , I'm Replying to your post two years late ... I hope that you've found soberiety you sound sincere about what you want , and where you are . Good luck

[books4free]

And the drink quit working... exact same thing happened to me. Read my sobriety story, also overcoming Hep C, Inteferon, and alcoholism on books4free dot c o m !

[neilbubbachuck]

I'm crushed. You called me a freak:)

I'm not sure that your seeing my meaning by your post. And it's ok. Good luck to you.

[eshjane]

Great story of recovery, he sounded like such a nice person. It's so sad he died. 

[SRV4evr]

I'm so glad this was taped and is available now. It's comforting to hear Stevie's voice and to hear him speak about his situation. I'm just happy and grateful that he was able to live his last few years clean, sober and happy. He was a good man and I will always miss him.

[grenda5]

@SRV4evr amen

[neilbubbachuck]

not a disease. so cancer and down syndrom must be a sin then if alcoholism is a disease. silly brainwashed aa people, dont be fooled. you chose to be a drunk just like i did. run from aa. the 12 steps are a lie. and if your a Christian and are going to aa. stop. read 2 corin 6:14 and compair that to the traditions of aa. direct violation.

aa is not the only way. aa turns you into a mindless legalistic cult member that cant think for himself. Turn to Jesus, after all He made you, not aa.

[oz46290]

@neilbubbachuck You need an education. It is a disease, and its inheritable. Cancer and down syndrone must be a sin then? What on earth are you babbling about, wheres the comparison? Oh and by the way, God isn't real. Have a nice day

[MemphisChk]

@neilbubbachuck  You can believe what you want about AA, but it has helped hundreds of thousands of people. Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it's not good for someone else Don't belittle something because you personally haven't gained anything from it! Science has proven time and again that it is a disease. If that isn't convincing enough, do you truly think tight-wad insurance companies would pay for anything that wasn't??

[forestskog]

@neilbubbachuck Why is it that religious freaks (well religious hypocrites) like you are so obsessed with bashing other religious idiots?

[christina812bugs]

@bshane84 Dumb ass hate mongerer

[stixnstonz100]

I just found this today and it's just what I needed. I love his music and his honesty here is as genuine as his music.

[AnnHattieAnn]

Thank you, Stevie. The legacy you've left us is so much more than music. Thank you. We miss you. RIP, dear one, Rest.

[mustaffa1611]

thank you so much for posting this

[tomsteve1967]

thanks for finding this and letting us hear his story. good stuff and one more success of A.A.

[stratocaster5]

at around 6:00 he is crying

[zappadead13]

let go let god

[kzone65]

I have a problem with alcohol.

It seems to me that continuing to drink/use is like chasing a rainbow. I appreciate the opportunity to listen to this speech. It gives me hope. I wish my brother had found this peace before he died. I would love to type on and tell my story. I feel like I'm really close to surrendering. This year, I had 3 months sobriety, it was awesome, but I began drinking beer again . I want to be sober and content once again. It is the Rainbow. AA is a good program.

[jay64stang]

I can relate to the chasing the rainbow thing, but I can also say its like a warm blanket on a cold night or an old girlfriend you go back to back to who robs and steals from you over and over again but you keep going back... Its insane. Normies just dont know.

[therealmcnulty]

@kzone65 Hope you finally got sober brother. AA is an amazing program and if it worked for me I think it can work for anyone.

[cookieman38111]

@kzone65 Hang in there. We only have today. Just make it through today and tommorrow will take care of itself. DO NOT give up.

[michaelmelton2010]

@kzone65 This is a good speech from a drink like us. You go Stevie Ray Vaughan!!!!

[twodoggzz]

Honesty is like a cutting edge. This helps me. SRV found some honesty before he died. I pray for the same.

[melkkoe]

great long speech,

listen to the other parts!

[sean808808]

RIP STEVIE
