Tomorrow is my 5th birthday! I find great comfort in learning, to remind myself that I still don’t have all the answers! God bless my family of twisted and afflicted sober drunks!
Beginning step 4. If you are sick of being sick and tired, get out to a meeting don't like the group? Try, try again, it didn't work for me because I wouldn't let it. God Bless you if you're reading this.
What a wonderful legacy for Joe, RUclips really can be a force for good. My sponsors sponsor saw this in rehab on VHS, really helped him get started. I find the light hiss in the background comforting, the thought that there were people when I was a child laying the groundwork for my recovery today makes me cry tears of joy.
As an alcoholic that has a very hard time listening to people I'm thankful for people like Joe Elliott. I can listen and comprehend the way he lays it out without my mind drifting off
Joe and Charlie were such a dynamic duo for Alcoholics Anonymous. Absolutely amazing with how they explained the Big Book and the Program of the 12 Steps as masterful storytellers. I love the phrase "It took Bill and Bob to write the Big Book, but it took Joe and Charlie to explain it". While that is a nice saying, I believe the First 100, Bill, Bob, and the many non Alcoholics that influenced Bill explained the Big Book beautifully. Joe and Charlie had their own interpretation as that's the freedom of the entire thing. Just as Bill's wife, Louis, had her own interpretation of the Steps in AL Anon
Joe Mc Que was wonderful!!! I heard that when he started going to AA, the group he first went to told him he could not hang out before or after the meeting, and that he was not allowed to drink out of their Coffee Cups. He didn't care , because he wanted to find Sobriety. Shame on that group, Kudos to this wonderful man!!!
Wasn't just that group, was aa in general back then. No catholics, no women, no blacks, native Americans, addicts, gays...... Was not th all encompassing fellowship it is today (thankfully)
Anyone know where i can find Marijuana anonymous? I went to my bank its a marijuana dispenserary now Id rather stay blunted Rather than a sharp nasty drunk tellin truth
We face that "allergy" thing because of our brains. The person who's not alcoholic can have a drink and his or her brain turns it into acetic acid, which is vinegar. No harm. My brain turns it into acidaldehyde, which is poison. That's why we have what we call the allergic reaction. I had an excellent doctor when I was in rehab. He was himself in recovery for several years. He taught us so much and I will forever be grateful for him.

Thanks you so much for breaking it down where I can understand it better
"alcohol is a drug." Facts. Love that, down with new age AA!

THANK YOU.
Great video
He kinda got religious there eh.. 🤷🏻♂️
Obsession try some controlled drinking try start and stop abruptly try it more than once
I find the delusion coming back/craving compulsion
Journey begins when we cry out in desperation for HELP
God/higher Power is: a "Gift Of Desperation"
The solution, so simple yet messed up with opinions 🙏🙏🏽

I want to add that Bill W suffered from hypoglycemia too.
Thanks Joe I'm real greatful for you you are armed with the fact I'm trying so hard to get unresentful I struggle with resentment 😂❤️
