Alcohol is a drug.

Love Dr Paul and his wife Max, so much❤

"There is More to quitting drinking than Quitting drinking."

So interesting and easy to understand 😊

After going to a number of AA meetings in Great Britain, there's a trend that's taken shape. It's also infected meetings throughout the US. This trend is, being soft on ourselves, but hard on everyone else. The BB, clearly states that the reverse is necessary for recovery from the mental-illness called Alcoholism. People everywhere these days, seem to treat AA meetings as group therapy. Here's the deal; the AA program, which was written by Bill Wilson in 1934, is in the first 164 pages of the AA textbook. The FELLOWSHIP (meetings), have nothing to do with the Program. They're simply a supporting element TO the program. Far too many people today, throw out their OPINIONS in open AA meetings, irrespective of the program. Far too many people are now talking about things like, the "importance of forgiving themselves." It doesn't say anything like that in the first 164. In fact, it tells us that we must be "HARD on ourselves, but easy on others." In AA's beginnings, 50% of people got well IMMEDIATELY. Another 25% got well after a few relapses. Of the remaining 25%, they showed improvement if they kept trying. Compare that with the EASIER, SOFTER way of today. Need I really say more?

So this is not Bill Wilson. This is an actor, reading a script for a stage play. So it's sad enough that people think this is a recording of a Bill W talk, but just how true or accurate is anything that was said? What inaccuracies are being spread by not making it clear...this is make believe...not true? Like the night the steps were created? This needs to be made clear: THIS IS FICTION!!!

Please give AA a try , you have nothing to lose and so much to gain..

Not only did Sister Maurice teach me how to read and write at OLPH in 1960 & 1961 but taught me about the Power of Example in AA 25 years later... R I P Sister Maurice

Great talk from clancy

November 16th, 1950 ...my father's birthday 🎂 November 16th ...interesting

I've not been to AA before. I've had one-to-one counselling. I think I'd enjoy the meetings.

She was hilarious, bless her. Had a dinner party with her once and she told us about her singing career back in the day. She then sang for us and cracked jokes all night. Her and Lady Sarah were an hilarious double act that day because of the dynamic between them. RIP to them both.

thank you Clancy

22 years a day at a time thank you for sharing 🙏

I felt that the most successful achievement of this movie is that it shows you don't have to shatter your life completely to be an alcoholic... And Mary Elizabeth Winstead has a huge role in that!

Without AA I would be dead for a long time

The biblical prophet Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: I can help, especially concerning the "Higher Power." I was raised in the Catholic Church and went to Catholic schools, and that was a very good foundation for understanding that there is much more to life than this limited world. But it eventually became clear to me that too much of it didn't make sense. For example, a schizophrenic GOD who is angry, jealous and wrathful in the Old Testament, but "is love" in the New Testament - and the insane belief that GOD's Son had to die as a "sacrifice for our sins." And so I became agnostic for many years - until GOD made Itself known to me directly. As it turns, my becoming agnostic was due to WISDOM. Because, FEAR causes people to cling to beliefs that don't make sense. And wisdom automatically comes as fear is overcome. Wisdom and fear are inversely proportional. And the Bible serves many purposes, including a fear/wisdom test that doesn't give you Truth until you're ready for it! (Prioritize "the words in red" and discount conflicting statements and you'll get it!) Few know where AA truly originated, like I do. It originated from a particular channel, one of two that were invaluable in my own GOD-given education. AA wasn't the brain-child of some man or men. It came from THE Higher Power Itself - The Mind That is GOD - through a channel named Edgar Cayce. The work of Edgar Cayce and Helen Schucman ("A Course in Miracles") are two bona-fide works of GOD given through the Holy Spirit in the 20th Century and stand apart from all other channeled works. When you discover what GOD is and what Jesus Christ ACTUALLY teaches, you discover that the organized religions have butchered the "good news" of Jesus Christ ("The Kingdom of GOD is within you") beyond recognition, into its OPPOSITE (judgment and sacrifice for "sin"). And that's why I was sent as GOD's witness at the end of this cycle of time, to re-state and clarify the "good news" that Jesus Christ brought some 2000 years ago. Can you see that the Book of Revelation is currently being fulfilled before your eyes? It will get very bad in the short term. But the "good news" is that it will get very good in the long term! "In this world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world." "He who overcomes will inherit all things." - JC The fact is that EVERYONE will overcome, in time, for that is time's GOD-given purpose and guarantee! "GOD our Savior...will have all men to be saved and come unto knowledge of the truth." (1Timothy 2:3-4) When you learn exactly what GOD is (The limitless Mind that is ALL), exactly what YOU are ( the "son" of GOD, a limitless Thought in the Mind that is GOD, given the ability to think WITH that Mind), exactly what satan is (the selfish human ego), and exactly why you are here (we partook of an irrational idea, symbolized by the "tree of knowledge of Go(o)d and (d)evil"), and how we will get back Home (by rejecting that irrational idea and overcoming the ego) THEN EVERYTHING MAKES PERFECT RATIONAL SENSE! As Max Planck indicated in his 1944 Florence Italy speech ("On the Nature of Matter"), scientists who pay attention to the quantum physics data can see that this world (of limitation) is a simulation in A Great Mind. GOD has revealed to me WHY we are experiencing it. And Jesus Christ tells you how to leave it behind, and guarantees that you will succeed! "Judge not and you will not be judged, condemn not and you will not be condemned, forgive and you are forgiven." By forgiving others we effectively forgive ourselves and free ourselves from our prison of ignorance, guilt and fear. THIS IS WHAT SALVATION IS. And this is why it is KEY to know that GOD is the Mind that is ALL Because, it is then possible to forgive others as well as yourself, because you know that all is of GOD and all is for good...and the evil devil is just an irrational idea!

Wow!!! What a special Man!!! Thank you Bill W. 26 years sober from the teachings and fellowship of AA!!!

I so glad I found this channel my sober date is 5/15/22 I love being sober

The advertisement attached to this video is for a casino interesting. I guess it's really smart if you're a casino you want to get a hold of people who have addictions

Unity - Recovery - Service ... Trust God - Clean House - Help Others ... Steps 1 to 3 - Steps 4 thru 9 - Steps 10 thru 12 ... Alcohol/ Spirits - root word (arabic) means 'a body eating spirit'. We must kill spirits by a Spirit greater than that spirit. A Higher Power. A Power greater than human power. A Power greater than the Spirit destroying our god given human body. ... Addict root word (latin) means slave. What Master will you serve? ... The Spiritual Life is not a theory. We must live it. ... Faith without works is dead. ... True faith will have works, just like true willingness will have action. ... Spiritual progress not spiritual perfection. ... We grow or we go. ... Our sobriety is an undeserved gift. Treat it as such and you will not lose it. Peace and goodwill to my fellow AAs and anyone reading ❤ 🙏

Started AA in 1992. Got sober for almost 19years. Then 2012 drank again for 4 years and now been sober again since May 2, 2015. Now time to give up smoking dope.

This looks nothing like bill. Im so confused 😅

8 days sober

12/5/22 - I had just quit an outpatient program for the third time. I was hungover, without much conscious care in the world. Out of nowhere, my eyes were opened and I could see the devastation alcohol had done in my life. No new information, but a new understanding. I have been sober ever since. God loved me enough to do for me what I could not do for myself. Thank you to all of you who keep the rooms running every day and ever hour until our Lord returns ❤❤❤❤❤

I'm am less than 24 hours with out a drink. I am an alcoholic and an addict. For years I have struggled with alcohol. I can't go on any longer seeing the disappointment in my mother's face when I walk in the house blasted out of my mind. I know if I don't stop this time I will never make it back. Thank you Bill.

This is six years ago?....

Thank you Bill W and Doctor Bob - truly inspiring ❤

Big Book 4th edition page 417 2nd paragraph. Thank you for still passing a long and sharing in the now for me brother.💥🚀

I’m so thankful to Bill🥰🙏🙌🇸🇪

Im alcoholic i lost everything because of drinking theres no better time to stop then now

I drink a lot, quit a lot, managed it on my own. AA always seemed pathetic af. Losers.

I'm 5 yrs clean and sober now, took 44 yrs to do it. But all I can think about is my poor friend Sarah who died of her illness in 1993.

My first trust in god wasn't about i.

Honest 2023

Fuck top cat painting, my mother meet a old w

so funny

I don't know how the UK handles things, but the US system is brutal to substance abuse/non violent criminals. There's absolutely no attempt to help anyone in US prisons.

Bill W December 11-1934. Founder of A.A. November 16-1950. A.A. Cofounded June 10-1935.

Thank you Bill and Bob, for saving my life. Sober since 4-24-10

Never in the course of human history have so many owed so much to so few...

This does not look like Bill W. Am i missing something?

Been a friend of Bill W's. For 10562 days now...

Been 1 year sober YAY!!

1:29:24 Hat story

sober 21 years. no god necessary

I can not believe this exists. I am so blown away to be able to watch and hear Bill himself tell his story at a speakers meeting. Wow. To hear Dr. Bob died directly from the mouth of Bill the day he died. And to listen to him tell a vision for you as a bit of parting advise… tears. ❤❤

Love this story! Thank you!❤
