  • This tape was recorded shortly after Sandy's daughter had been found murdered. Also, in a very short period of time, another one of his daughters passed away from complications due to alcoholism. His share is very moving and powerful, as you can hear the raw emotion in Sandy's voice. He is truly a living example of the Program in Action, and an inspiration for us all. Thank you Sandy.
    From the book Alcoholics Anonymous: "In spite of the great increase in the size and span of this Fellowship, at its core it remains simple and personal. Each day, somewhere in the world, recovery begins when one alcoholic talks with another alcoholic, sharing experience, strength, and hope."
    What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a "treatment for alcoholism" or "alcohol abuse?"
    From Wikipedia: "A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as 'spiritual principles,' based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism in 1939. The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems."
    You can find out more at: www.aa.org - Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site (And as should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with them or any other 12 step program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.)
    "Addiction treatment" WORKS! There is addiction help out there and "addiction recovery" is possible. If you are battling "alcohol addiction" there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like!
    It is important to note there are several ways for one to address his or her "alcohol abuse treatment." "Substance abuse" is a very serious condition. Many need inpatient stays or counseling. The importance and purpose of this video, and all our other videos, is to show that recovery IS possible and to give hope to those who are struggling with substance abuse issues. Help IS out there! :)
    From the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous: "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny."

    Wish Sandy were still alive so I could thank him. I'm working toward my own resentment toward the man who murdered my Dad in 1988. It's so inspiring and reassuring to hear another alcoholic share about this.

    I wish she was alive so I could tell him that I remembered. The first time I listen to this was about eight years ago, and I always repeated it and talked about it because I felt it was so profound. Then my little sister died, and without pause defaulted to this solution, and it has saved my life without a doubt. Thank you, Sandy. ❤

    The story about the women who immediately forgave a murderer is astounding, but it's so true in that forgiving is the answer to anger and resentment

    They drank fast enough where I didnt have to sneak them? Remember when you were in a crowd and you would say, 'Brb. I gotta go to the bathroom.' Then you go up to the bartender and ask for another shot? Then when you came back and the crowd asked if you wanted another round? And you said, 'Oh yeah, I'll have another round!'😂
