  • "Can I have my inventory back? Because...you just took it" :)

  • 18 years clean and sober. Don't think I've ever said any of these myself, but I have heard a good deal of them :)

  • anonimity is not working for the new generation of users they never hear the message until they are in rag order maybe times change and so should the program wen it comes to promotion and awareness

  • @berniechrisok i think the new generation is just more aware of hipocracy and good at bullshit detection.

  • I'm smiling; thanks, clean 15,188 days, ODAAT.

  • I now have a life beyond my wildest dreams!

  • funny thing, it is dumb & repetitve most, however for many of us that has worked very very well! & yes it is true that is this slogans or phrases are said all the time.

    Not everyone needs to understand it.

  • "I spent most of my drunk life pissed of and passed out"

  • Like totally inane. If you think this is like humongously humorous - then you sooooo need a parrots anonymous meeting. I give it a 3 Duct Tapes UP!

  • classic...Good Job and God Bless!!!!

  • Is this considered Press, radio or films? heh

  • You forgot. "Hey nice share." "That was a really good share, I loved all the shares this evening."

    "That was a great talk." "There are no birthdays today, but we do have CAKE!" and "Yea she's really fine, but she only has like 3 days..." and "I don't feel like drinking today, but I feel like ripping someone's F'Ing head off." :)

  • Well done!

  • Visited your site and I'm so impressed! Catch this>>>>>>>>positive vibe coming your way! Your a genius!

  • LOLd till I fell out my chair! You forgot about cigarette addiction! Love your place btw.

  • kinda makes us 12 steppers look like idiots, but all the shit people say videos make people look idiotic. so, well done!

  • I recommend to go to meetings long enough to learn how to live sober, than run like hell before the brainwashing takes root. "I concur, take what you need and leave."

    Too much Hokus-Pokus for me. I learned that I don't have to by the snake oil and drink the kool ade.

    You too can be clean and sober the rest of your lives All you have to do after you get sober is make the same commitment as people in a "program" do not to drink or use and stick with it. It is the same commitment, without drama.

  • you dont see chicken hanging out at KFC. theres clues.

  • Nicely done and youre a cutie too :)

  • This video makes me want to relapse.

  • Take what you need and leave the rest.

  • Grateful for the video. I really got a lot from that, thanks for sharing.

  • I dunno if I like this or not. I've heard it all before, have said a good bit of it, but compiled like this it sounds pretty stupid. Hope "earth people" (say, where's that one?) don't think this is ALL we talk about.

  • Misery is an option. Pain shared is pain lessened. You hit your bottom where decide to stop digging. Keep coming back. This is a program of progress, not perfection. Nothing changes if nothing changes. This too shall pass. Insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. There's only one thing you have to change and that's everything. --Yeah, they're cliche, but NA has saved my life. It's the little sayings that get me by sometimes.

  • what about shit normal people say to 12 steppers? "yeah, it's kind of like me with junk food."

  • BRILLIANT! I need to pull out my big book now.

  • well done.Funny Funny Ha Ha. see you both at relapse prevention.

  • Stick with the winners!

  • If you dont want what we have dont worry you wont get it .

  • Comment removed

  • @FrankieNorstad Keep coming back :^)

  • THE FACT:

    PEOPLE GET SOBER AND STAY SOBER WITHOUT god.

    The true purpose of aa is to get people to god.

    (Please, re-read your literature)

    the primary purpose of AA members is to protect AA through it's politics (Traditions)

    

  • Please AA'ers, admit the truth that AA ilks all the following 12 step programs, is a religion, a religion in "DENIAL", a religion that tells you its not a religion.Most substance abusers I have experienced through 30 years in the recovery industry are going to their first 12 step meeting and being "Run Out" by the god talk.

  • That was my first experience. Went to rehab, got hope, took my to my first 12 step meeting, lost hope.I noticed right away that the 12 step programs through guilt and intimidation, sell their brand of the "find god or die"and "the only way" attitude killing people just as dead as the drink.

  • Want to talk god? go to church!

    ant to stop drinking, Make a commitment and stick with it.

    (This is the real hokus-pokus in 12 step programs)

    Come to believe you will stop drinking.

    Thousands of people have made the commitment and are sober.

    give yourself the credit for what "others believe" is inhumanly possible.

  • Stuck in the 1930's, AA will not acknowledge newer fact based, proven research that science "HAS DONE SO" and the "YET" is here.

    People do stop drinking, get sober and get on with their lives without a spiritual component (god).

  • @driheaves Whatever works for you works for you. I believe the Universe is cosmic and magical enough without a traditional Christian god. And, I can believe that and still find much relief in 12-step. I hope you have a good day!

  • @driheaves Maybe so.. Doesn't mean a better way.. The AA program is a whole lot more then about quitting your drug of choice.. It's a whole new way to live life and feel happy, joyous, and free.. I highly doubt science can do that...

  • @driheaves If you can "just" stop drinking.. then your probably not an alcoholic.. But hey.. Ignorance is bliss..

  • @driheaves Ignorance

  • @driheaves Ignorance

  • @driheaves should have went to NA.

  • the gross coffee (gulp it anyway) thing? yeah, I do that at every meeting. :P

  • i thank hayzeus i have't needed this FRINGE religious cult for nearly 3 YEARS!!!!

  • Thanks this was my meeting after the meeting.. hey there's one too!

  • Comment removed

  • Frankie I dont know you but you are Awesome!!! so true ive been going to meetings since i was 20 im soooooo sic of the language!! great video....I love you...lol

  • "God is Good"...(All the time!)

  • Nice Birthday gift for me... (coz it's all about me...) thanks for the laugh! As my dear friend says, Don't take yourself too seriously, wear your life like a loose garment!

  • I need to do some cervix work.

  • Love this! Ty

  • It squirts if you work it

  • "have you made a god box?"

  • that was LOL funny

  • sobriety date 06/24/08... by the grace of God! Good video... you can't help but to laugh at how there is conformity and groupthink on every level of society, but it saved my life.

  • The comments for this video are as awesome as the video.

  • @tweezers It makes me so happy to see all the love and laughter!

  • @FrankieNorstad And there is much, omg this is an awesome video. I can see there were some ppl who didn't appreciate it, but they would be the same ppl who get offended when there is laughter in a meeting, like I was when I was brand new. Love it! :D

  • Love it!

  • So funny, and so true! :)

  • also: "how much time go you have?' -- "did he go out?" -- "i'm a high-bottom drunk." -- "it's not like it's my drug of choice." - he is so renting space in your head right now." -- "you can start your day over at any time." -- "she's just on her pink cloud." -- "he's drier than a popcorn fart." -- "attraction not promotion." -- "my spiritual advisor says..." -- "my higherpower...which I choose to call GOD." -- "this is a spiritual, NOT religious program." x 3 -- "...have you tried church??"

  • @lizjonas RENTING SPACE, oh God yeah.

  • Comment removed

  • BEST!!!! I love this!!

  • You convey the perfect playful spirit: the second brightener to a day that didn't start so well ...

  • @EpiBound Yay!

  • Loop this staggered 500 times with a dub step beat and a case of Rock Star - you have a mating ritual at a ypaa event.

  • I know this is youtube but it's a big part of my story.

    Great stuff, Frankie

  • Chocolate and sex? Chocolate and sex.

  • didn't mean to be rood =D

  • I cackled. Then I sent it to my sponsor.

    Is sharing videos by spam email a relapse?

  • 13th step = "get them on their back, before (higher power) gets them on their feet!"

  • you're Powerless! LMAO

    

  • Awesome!!! I can relate to all of it, especially the really cute guy in rehab. 13th step with a newcomer, nearly killed myself getting loaded behind that. Love my life today, clean & sober. 6-28-11

  • clean & sober date 11/15/91 but who's counting(btw , it works it, really works)

  • Love it!

  • This stuff saved my life 'cuz the repetition of the jargon totally drowned out the voices in my head! LOVE IT! C/D 03/06/93

  • I don't understand why some one would take the time to comment QUIT IT!!! about a video they don't like... that is soooo boring... yet they took the time to watch it and negative comment it.... Psycho is psycho....

    Frankie you are the shitze!!!

  • It does NOT work.

  • @ltreyltrey It only works if you really want it.

  • I freakin' died laughing at this. I sprayed Diet Coke at the nose spray thing...I'm totally addicted to nose spray and I'll quit that when my spons quits smoking...so there!!! blaaaahahahahaha

    Love this...thanks!!!

  • Clean Date - 03/28/1990

  • that frankie chick is totally HOT!

  • @mark4677 Awe shucks. Thanks.

  • This is the most annoying part of recovery! I almost quit recovery after 8 years clean and sober because of d bags coming out the side of their neck with this nonsense. An old timer told me "to analyze is to paralyze".

  • @secretbubba3 Yeah... In the beginning it all sounds so profound! Eventually it slips into repetitive jargon. But it still works. (if you work it... sigh... i just can't help myself...)

  • @secretbubba3 I almost quit recovery after 8 years because I wanted to take hydros and drink vodka.

  • @tweezers Happy that was an *almost*... :)

  • This is funny

    12 steppers are soooo boring- even to a sober person. QUIT  IT! I'm so tired of your pyscho-babble

  • I removed my earlier comment, because I read it again and it wasn't helpful! "Remember, when you are pointing the finger at someone else there are always three pointing back at you!" and I think I will go read pg 59 out of the Big Book now because "Everything you need to know is on pg 59 in the Big Book", lol.

  • @kanjamful hahaha I was planning on putting the fingers one in the next video :)

  • @FrankieNorstad  Please do. Make 3 more. This one is already classic.

  • I am 28 and have been in a 12 step program in and out for 6 years....This is funny, sometimes it is good to laugh at ourselves, my favourite saying which I dont think was mention in this video is "I know I Have Another High In Me, But I Dont Know If I Have Another Reovery In Me"

  • @SCARLEMSCARS I hope you get connected and stay! 

  • So dead on. Worded co-dependently enough nothing is really the addicts fault. The insecure leading the moronic wanna be victims down the road to relapse. So that they can blame their “dis-ease” on anything but themselves. Meditate on that one. Figure out your “ism” and get over the hype of the labels. Move on already.

  • OMG. This is amazing Frankie! You are totally amazing. I am so sorry to see some of the negative comments below, obviously they don't know you or your work (their loss - really)! Keep writing, photogging and making videos...you have inspired so many already and you my dear will only keep inspiring. One day, I am going to be just like you...well not...I know no one can be Frankie...

  • No...I'm pretty sure that she is sober and letting off steam. It's good to laugh at the fellowship from time to time! I needed this.

  • @dsuggs87 I am indeed in recovery. 11-28-03. I got here at 21.

  • @FrankieNorstad Good for you!

  • Ha ha, quality!

  • @1298beebop Thanks!

  • Who is the ugly, hippie chick with the lame tattoos? Yikes.

  • @whattheheck9111 That's me! Nice to meet you. 

  • Not funny

  • @piassojoe I'm guessing you aren't in 12 step.

  • @piassojoe Im in a 12 step, but this isn't funny at all. There are maybe 2 that I actually smirked at

  • @chappin101 I'm sorry!  I'll make another one for you. What do you find funny?

  • @piassojoe truth hurts.

  • My higher power IS a doorknob!

  • @PhilDotZap It's reliable... and everywhere. 

  • @FrankieNorstad It is quite easy for me to keep a handle on my religous beliefs. And when I belief it is time to take a break and temporarily close the door on my rabbit-hole diving...I can. I can also open for a peekaboo at anytime!

  • I just realized that's Amy Winehouse in the background. ;)

  • @landshark80 :)

    

  • "If you've never been to a bad meeting you're not getting to enough meetings."

  • Bloody annoying.

  • @Thejbirdy you should write about it. ;)

  • @FrankieNorstad Not you personally, just what they say is all...sounds horrible.

  • Totally powerless over laughing so hard after watching this! =)

  • @captaincrombie Yay!!!! Happy you liked it!

  • "the newcomer is the most important person in a meeting??" Really??? where's my welcome mat!

  • "You should go pray in the bathroom!"

  • @damngurl2004 A newcomer told her coworker that she was going to go pray in the bathroom... her coworker asked "are you in program?" #awesomecult

  • I love how when you're a newcomer "Your higherpower can be a doorknob" and when I depict my higher power in my 2nd step as a doorknob, no sponsor or out patient group ever accepts it.

    this cracked me up.

  • @SunshineTheOfficial Hahaha. So funny. I never got the doorknob thing until I actually prayed in a bathroom and guess what's at eye level if you're on your knees in a bathroom? Err. that sounded wrong.

  • SO f.....g funny!!! Thanks for doing this. You make me proud - now get off your ass and help a newcomer!!

  • @gmaLinda9 Thanks!

  • False evidence appearing real. But, really, I'm not qualified to take your inventory. The Big Book says (XYZ) which means I am totally fucked. Easing God out. Turn it over. Let it go. There's a program for that. I need a meeting.

  • @BMWDamun "you should do an xth step on that." "shit" "fucking" "fuck" "fucker" "shithead" "shitface" "shitfaced" "can't tell your ass from a hole in the ground" "Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth" "I've spilled more beer on my tie than you've drank" "I'm a REAL alcoholic" "the big book says only YOU can decide if you're an alcoholic or not, we do not diagnose" later in the same conversation.. "You're an alcoholic and everybody knows it"

  • "My best day messed up was worse than my worst day straight." STFU!

  • @Godard64 The longer you stay clean the bigger your chances of having a worst day you would LOVE to trade for your best day using. OR your worst day using. Fortunately we have tools to cope.

    "Coping tools" should go in the next video too.

  • "How's that working forYa?"

  • @1grumppa I thought you were serious and I got offended for a second.  Ha. such an addict.

  • Rule 62 Don't take yourself so serious...3/13/2004...ODAAT!!!

  • ugh

  • HaaaaaAaahaaaaa

  • "chocolate is crack" f-ing brilliant!!! <3 this......

  • I totally thought that said 'strippers' in the title -_-

  • LOL......very funny. Im hoping that more will be revealed.

  • SOOOOO fkg fabulous. the only thing missing is "well.....i know FOR MEEEEEEEE......"

  • @radiolemma Hahaha. Thanks... I'm thinking of doing a second one. :)

  • You are so hot!

  • @Rexxhavikk Thanks :)

  • Love, love, love this!

  • @memartyf Thank you!

  • Dead on! Hilarious, I think my grandma is high...

  • @karmabot Hahahaha. Thanks!

  • Have you considered a 12 step career?

  • @MrNormanobc I kind of already have one :-/ ha

  • This is so dead on and very creative. Very cool and thank you for making it. Makes me want to make one myself.

  • @artistdonwatson Thank you! It was fun to make :)

  • "You should write about it." LOL

  • @zuukia Totally. 

  • So funny you two!! Totally cracked me up. :)

  • @psyllypsa Thanks! <3
