Addiction treatment WORKS! The Twelve Step Model has been utilized as a treatment for alcohol abuse and alcoholism since 1935. It is extremely important to know that help IS out there and addiction recovery is possible. If you are battling alcoholism, drug addiction, addiction or any other form of addictive behavior, there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like!
You can find out more at: www.aa.org - Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site - As should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with them or any other Twelve Step Program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.
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 and has become an epidemic in today's world. Many people suffering with substance abuse need treatment, such as inpatient stays, rehab, 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 alcohol and drug addiction issues. Help IS out there!
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."

I needed this. I’m very scared. I relapsed after over 2 years and it has been hell. All my shortcomings are showing. My girlfriend just found out she’s pregnant. Today at 5am I made the decision to throw away all my drinks and drugs. I can’t live like this anymore. My mind is a battleground and I just need the peace and quiet I only get from these steps
get to meetings and share
Oh my I hope you make it back to the rooms of recovery ❤️🩹 it’s tough yet you can do it one day at a time. You matter still to God. Been sober since 5-10-2015 and on 5-10-2019 I celebrated 4 years and that very day buried my Beloved Husband of 21 years and I AM still sober by the grace of God.
Working the 12 steps and getting a sponsor to do them with is the only thing that has made me not think about drinking...quiting cold turkey I was miserable until I just gave in and drank again.... Then it got worse never got any better until 17MAY21 today I wish it was possible to meet Dr Bob and Bill W rather than any living celebrity. Them and the creator of computers, the creator of the internet, I'm a zoom baby.
If you need someone to talk to hit me up bro. I’m going through the same shit. Sometimes having a buddy system helps
I have a baby born in October
Long live the program. Long live our faith. Long live our sobriety.
Thank you God for everything you’ve shown me in the past week… I gave everything to you and you gave me a whole new life. You opened the Universe to me. I see, I hear, I breathe, and I move now. “I am thy robot, reprogram me.” Love you. Thank you. BELIEVE IN YOUR HIGHER POWER!
Lord, help me to set aside. EVERYTHING
Very eloquently explains what we surrender. We surrender the bottle, the way we live & the way we think
I absolutely love this share. After 14 years of not Turning my will and my life over to the care of any God (Good Orderly Direction) I have finally done a programme and i am living life on life's terms. Thank you for these uploads.
I am Forever Changed in my life!! AA thank you God Source or Universe 🤩😍😍Thanks for my relapse and now back on track🤩😍🥰🥰
Thank HP and members of AA for abating my over anxious and fearful self today. Mary Dublin
Remove surname from text. Mary Dublin
So glad you made it back!
Amen brother man!
Powerful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WOW!!! I am and have been an alcoholic since I was 14 years old. I am grateful for the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and for this channel which I have been listening to every night for the past week. I can relate to everything this man is sharing; it is almost as if he is sharing my experience. Amazing.
We were prey to mosey and depression. The B.B. speaks to me. I can relate so much. Trust God, clean house , help others. Thank you sir
This saved my ass. Thank you
151 approximately 2 Oz. slip ups in 20 years and 2 months. Can't do it alone. I'm back. Glad to be here.
Bob is a life saver for me..My sponsor introduced me to his tapes..I LOVE HIS PERSONALITY HOW HE CONVEYS HIS MESSAGE IS SUCH A GIFT TO ME..LISTEN TO HIM CONSTANTLY...HE LIKE ANOTHER SPONSOR TO ME THAT I DONT EVEN KNOW LOL..HES FUNNY AS HELL AND SERIOUS N SO SINCERE..RELATABLE IIS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏THANK YOU BOB🙏🙏
I had the same experience with my new sponsor too. Thank God!
When i first got into recovery these talks were like my sponsor. I was too insecure and afraid of rejection to actually ask anyone. After about 3 months I finally pulled it off, got a sponsor and have been working the steps. Bob's speeches are just incredible.
My sponsor suggested Bob D to me and it’s hard for me to understand things. But I’m understanding better by listening to him once a day.
I love to listen and pick up new tools of sobriety I'm a new man I drank alcohol from 14 yrs of age till 4 28 23 I am now 52 ... I've accomplished more in these six months of sobriety than in my past 10 years...God is good I am living at God's property sober living....I'm half way to completion I will complete this program in 4 28 24 it's all down hill joy from here!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤loving God loving life loving myself❤❤❤❤❤
God speaks through Bob so well to me. Listening to him has truely helped me through sobriety.
Hell yeah. Even people in other 12 Step groups say Bob D. helped them with their recovery.
I believe Bob explains and understands alcoholism better than anyone I've ever listen to, I felt just like him I can totally relate to him
Yeah..11 years here, 15 months of near death, and grace of 13 years. Then a spiritual crisis. I have recommitted to AA with a vengence.
When my recovery is blurred and unclear like the picture of Big Book, I become open minded and listen to a message of vigorous and raw recovery.
Thank you
Las Vegas recovery is unlike any other recovery as a global destination and a gambling Mecca it can make alcoholism a primary number one treatment necessity and the writer of the big book a genius for us thank you Bob good to hear you even if it is only on the internet
Great talk
My first sponsor Ron Martin introduced me to this. God bless that man. He carried the message to many.
25:73 BOB thats me buddy. Im learning to set aside everything i have thought that i know about the power of God in OTHER peoples lives and learn to access by faith, the power which has eluded my grasp in all of my desire to know the deep things of God. What good does it to know these things if i refuse to practice them.
My gratitude towards these teachings is boundless.. thank you :)
I really needed this, my life has been so unmanageable by me
I love Bob, he is such a joy. I've had the pleasure of hearing him speak in person, and he is wonderful!
I put him on drum and bass on my channel :)
I love his message, I relate to him so much
Jennifer how long have you been in sobriety?
@@kevinofjudahgoffinisrael6514 5 years this time.
@@jenm9099 I would definitly love to chop it up more on sobriety do you have an email beloved?
The story at 37:00 and the one before it just gave me a breakthrough. Thanks for sharing experience, strength, and hope.
Working the 12 steps and getting a sponsor to do them with is the only thing that has made me not think about drinking...quiting cold turkey I was miserable until I just gave in and drank again.... Then it got worse never got any better until 17MAY21 today I wish it was possible to meet Dr Bob and Bill W rather than any living celebrity. Them and the creator of computers, the creator of the internet, zoom creators, I'm a zoom baby and I'm grateful for these things.
That lamplighter story at 45:00 just gave me chills
Brilliantly clear and relatable The Truth..any obsession takes us away from our creator God
This man is me I am
Him I identify with every single thing he is saying ❤
for once in my life i feel part of, aa has took away my old life and gave me a new one ..i will be forever gratefull so happy my friend told me about bob d! i need everything aa has to offer i need the 3 p's the people ,the power and the programme x
Hi Karen how are you doing now?
Same here
Amazing
Bob's talks really inspire me. I've just done step 3 and began 4-5. I am currently facing most difficult time in my entire lifetime.
I have faith that God will manage everything and find best possible solution for my mother, brother and myslef.
God is either everything or nothing...
Thank you Bob for your guidance!
Wish you all the best I am doing step 4 now
MsRedinism I'm on step 4 I've been in and out for years and always stopped at this step because it was too painful but I'm sticking it out and hoping that I get some relief or a spiritual awakening. Best of luck if you ever want to talk you can email me bananabenard@Gmail.com
MsRedinism what’s up with step 4 all I know is it’s hard
So lost
I hope your life and sobriety is great today.
Admitted that we could not manage our lives. Surrendered. Always learning....
Weird but this really helps . It’s a trip how people I don’t know have similar situations to me .
This guy is great
I am new in sobriety and he helps me see how much I know
I mean um.... dont know
Every time I think I’ve heard my favorite open talk…… the next one is better 💜
Welcome to my world of multiaddictiveness, lol 😏
This one is my favorite one rn!!!
You are my stranger with this beautiful message..frfr brother
You are telling my story, slowly but surely skipped slipped back into the bottle. years of God's grace and goodness,my my judgement against myself and using the drink to medicate another disorder. Approval and opinions of others I chose to eat from the tree of knowledge of hell and fell into the trap of pretentious looking good on the outside. Was able to moderate for several yrs not realizing was self medicating bipolar disorder. Becuz I was nothing like my brother ouch judgement against him. Grateful it's not as bad as his was...last 6 months I've been Rapidly out of control wout knowing. But costly collisions almost my life got attention to seek professional help maybe inpatient idk....ty my daughter who lives in Portugal turned me on to you. I like that you include who God is and how he lives us so and lives in Us when we let him. 67 yrs young prayerfully will let go of my u old bs (belief system) I've been trying to do by myself and hopefully allow The potter rebuild this ole gal. Heck last few weeks revelation He was the 4th man in the fire with me Again again again. Wow... Please pray for me.
Thanks Bob
What keeps me from stopping initially are the withdrawals. 😢
Try increasing protein and fat to help calm your nervous system and give you a feeling of fullness and calm
That is what helped me the most.
Try watching some videos about keto and low-carb regarding withdrawals
Good luck to you
I love 💘 Bob my sponsor introduced me to him i am so grateful it's exactly were im at in my recovery 🙏
Fantastic I love this guy hopefully
Someday I can hear him speak live
Ram Dass actually has been an inspiration to me and through meditation, learning to Be here Now I got sober. AA helps but my faith in the hanuman foundation and learning to love, serve, remember has kept me sober. I enjoyed your story of hope and change but please don't discredit some ones belief.✌☮☯️🕉 always love
God is deep within us
Omid Nikoubin I m just heari.g tjsy.
Love the way Bob uses the Big Book in his talks. I learned how to help the women I sponsor by reading these passages with them. Thank you.
This guy is amazing
Wow 🙏
“God is a gentleman” - true
Bob D you're my hero!
Bob's talks totally inspire me too. I relate to so much of what he says. I've seen him in person a few times as well. He's my favorite speaker!
Great speaker!
I adore Bob D.!!! Thank you, God!
Ego deflation is important for me for recovery.
“I know nothing”
This statement changes me instantly,
Well said. Really enjoyed your share
Thank You Bob D.
I knew so much that wasn't true...
Thank You
Thanks Brother 🙏🍀
Soo deep! Love it!
Bob D is all of it.
You are obviously not from LV
Bob D you & I are 100% IDENTICAL thank you so much !!!!
Thank you so much for taking time to put these online! I am new to this program and LOVE all these speakers young and old. I listen to them while getting ready in the morning and while driving in my car. Thank God Bob D was one of myh first experiences. I was so low and new to AA and deicded just to search on youtube and sure enough there he was and he near saved my life. Wish there was a way I could get these on CD and get in touch with Bob D. Thanks so much!!! Keem them coming! Ryan
Ryan Gill
Great AA
Awesome speaker. Im. Listening I'm. Many of his shares. Does anyone know if he's still around (alive)?
Thank God for this message 🙏 frfr brother
Nailed it.
Thanks Scott Scotty
Thankyou
Best share
excellent
Who’s still here?
The miracle is that your life is no longer in the hand of an idiot. Hahaha
51:34 thats me... Nice talk! Helping me a lot!
Keep coming back?
I have worked the steps, first on my own, and now with a sponsor. I tried everything else first and nothing worked. I believe in AA but I do not believe in my ability to stick to AA. Bob D. talks about how it got harder when he got sober; I identify with that. I've taken the sponsor prescribed suggestions/actions with each step and, so far, they are not keeping me sober, they're kept me drunk. I'm not saying it won't work for you, but it's not working for me. Drinking isn't working for me either. I'm at a loss. You can call it a jumping off place, but I am lost.
See if your doctor will prescribe you the prescription naltrexone. It was created to help with withdrawals, and it has helped millions of people.
Also, try increasing your fat and protein to help calm your nerves and feed your brain
Try watching some RUclips videos about keto and low carb, eating to help you understand why this helps
Good luck to you
Self centerdness and being focussed are two different things. The former is unhealthy the latter the opposite. I thought at first they were both the same. Such wrong thinking I had.
Please expand on your thought…
muchas gracias ..bob hoy estoy en el hospital por mega alta presion at ccu Baptis health escuchando to programa gracias de verdad muy inspirado en ti '''''

Need to see what's wrong or what a person would like to have to determine what's unmanageable first .before going to this step
Good
100%
🙏🙏
🌸
🙏💯
Any one know Bob D? I'd really love to know where he read this story about the South African farmer? I can't find this story or a source for this story anywhere.
truth about me
Thanks God for US not drinking today 🦋🌈
I truly needed this too hear this sounds like me today!! GOD Yah and Jesus are my power's I allowed a nother dry drunk too push my buttons thank you!! Thank you God bless!!
Sober and sane by The Grace of God 38 yrs one day at a time 3-12-2021
Is it ok to go to AA meetings if you don’t specifically have a problem with alcohol ?
Yes, you can go to an "open" meeting anytime, just call your local AA central office and ask for the times of "open" meetings. Blessings to you and yours!
Odomtology 12-Step Recovery Media ok thanks 🙏
I'd like tob know too
Open meetings only
Of course 🤗. If you have a problem with alcohol you are in a good place. If you don't have a problem with alcohol you are in a better place. 🤗
He describes the disease and solution perfectly.
right between the eyes.
Okay🤠

I wonder about the 1st prayer? Bob then tells us what he knows? We say that prayer at a study meeting. so is he sayin it for us, or him and u? seems like that prayer is for us only? I love studing the steps
Having a time with me and my son..I have to give it to God. Didn't get the bill in:re to my alcoholism and how it affected our family and it's a killer!!!!
"DEEP WITHIN ME" HUMMMM.....
Excellent speaker but dangerous giving advice on medication!
Jebrimaximus true. Real personal danger is to compare rather than to relate to. AA=I'm an alcoholic. NA=I'm an addict. Same as=relating
This is the first time I have listened to this gentleman thanks to my sponsor. I am only sober going on one year and boy this makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
