2021 been sober almost 5 years these talks hold a special place in my heart.
I am 6 days sober, however very grateful as to just listen to AA speakers, very inspiring
These save my ass late at night when I can’t get to another meeting. Very useful tool
1 of the best talks I've heard in 40 years. I only wish I had got to meet him in person. Such a gift for humbly breaking it down.
I celebrated 14 months sober on May 11th ODAAT

Congratulations!!!🎉
CONGRATULATIONS
Charlie Parker is the GOAT in Austin Texas 💪💪😎 shout out Joel Johnson for being my first sponsor ever and getting me connected to Charlie and coming to share the aa message to me in state funded rehab.
Great share. My sobriety date is 3-17-86 and he is so right about discussion meetings
My sobriety date is 1/17/85, the differents between an old timer, and a newcomer is; the newcomer wants to drink, and knows they can't. An old timer knows they can drink, and doesn't want too.
Thanks
Thank you
So true.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then What am I ? I know I can’t drink and I don’t want to .I guess what your telling everyone is that the allergy goes away after so many years .
My Friend, Charlie P, a Hero in & for AA… even though there are no Heros
im sober 6 weeks today and have just got on line.....and as i was just thinking how i dont want a drink again today....i found this laughed then listened
Gx
Amazing
Charlie P. thank you so much for this speech. You said so many things that hit home with me. It made me feel like maybe I'm not such a hopeless case after all. I'm going to finally go to a meeting tomorrow after 30 years of drinking. I am looking forward to meeting people that understand the way I feel. I hope you know how much you help people like me by speaking about alcoholism.
Do share your experience!
How you doing?
How are you Rick?
This is the point! 🙌🙌🙌. I pray that you are still sober and going to meetings!
I’m alcoholic. I have relapsed many times this year after trials of trying to be sober . I realized I am dry drunk. Truthfully, I didn’t understand why I needed AA. Why I needed someone else to tell me these steps and help me to do them. It been years now but I am still struggling to accept step one. I’m have admitted that I’m powerless of alcohol. I don’t go to many meetings but I’m praying to keep trying to recover. Alcoholics Anonymous is only effective when done whole heartily. Sadly I’m still coming to terms that I will always be and recovering alcoholic and that is apart of me that will never change . For anyone out there that feel alone sad and helpless your not alone . God bless
I attended 12 step programs for many years and I always relapsed. I got a dui in a national park and served 28 days in a federal prison.... there I met a theologian who literally took me through the Bible and now, I am almost 2 years sober by taking only one step, I got on my knees and begged for help. Jesus Christ is in the business of annihilating demons. We have a very real enemy.... and I never knew that!
God Bless You Too... 🙏
How are you doing now Ruth?
Hello Ruth, you must understand that drinking is just the solution to your problem, your problem is internal. I say this because it took me 14 years of sobriety doing it on my own that just about drove me insane. It wasn’t till i got spiritually connected in the program where the voices in my head started to calm. I pray you surrender and get connected, if you truly want it, its there Ruth. I pray you come to this understanding, you can do this. ❤😊
I just hit my first year of sobriety. With my meeting still on zoom only these tapes help along with my almost daily phone calls to my sponsor.
These winner tapes are better than a bad meeting .... learning from winners is GOOD. Next do the work
Don’t forget to pray. 🙏🏽🙏
@@pinonnut spot on 🙏🏽🕉🇦🇺
@@Mandalas12 every morning, it’s “a daily reprieve”
Just heard Charlie P share live in Austin, Texas via zoom what a powerful message!!!
Thank you!!
Do you have the meeting I’d and password? I’d love to attend his home group
Excellent share by Charlie P. A wonderful thing that he, in this eight (8) year old recording, focused on *this* alcoholic's true problem. Working the twelve (12) steps of AA and my Higher Power saved my life. Thank you.
Charlie, thank you so much for this talk. It took probably six months of going back and replaying your story about your dad and the pawn shop - I had the minutes on a stickie. Anyway.. your honesty really helped me get real with myself.
I painfully related Charlie, my Dad died Xmas Eve after bailing my butt out-no boo boos just fact!
I’m sober and working the 3 sides of our triangle. Amends are never far from my mind, though already forgiven. Thanks for your heartfelt share! Recovery, Unity, service
Amazing share thanks
11years n 9 months sober n clean
I'm Joe S. and I am an alcoholic, I was listening to Charlie P. doing his A.A. talk and he was talking about Dr. Bob and how he was saying that after that meeting the night that Dr. Bob met Bill W. that he didn't drink again that he stayed sober till his death. Well actually after that first meet between Dr. Bob and Bill they met up a few more times, after that and Dr. Bobs sobriety only lasted for three weeks. Then Dr. Bob went to Atlantic City to go to several days of meetings for a national society that he was a member of. While on that train ride Dr. Bob had drank all the bottles of scotch that was on the train, then he bought several quarts on his way to his hotel were he got drunk that night but he did manage to stay sober that Monday until after the dinner and went to his room to finish getting drunk. Then to save himself from any disgrace he checked himself out of his room, on his way walking to the depot he had bought more liquor as he waited for his train. He then remembered nothing from then until he woke up at a friends house in Cuyahoga Falls and then his friends called his wife and after that Anna had called Bill W. and then Bill picked up Dr. Bob and took him home. Then Bill gave Dr. Bob a few drinks that night and one bottle of beer that next morning, that was June 10th, 1935 after that he never picked up again.
Jeez, seriously… obviously you miss you understood what CP was saying. CP was talking about June 10, 1935. Oh and you forgot to mention Dr Bob also had a couple goofballs that morning
Can't Thank you enough for the insight! MANY BLESSING,!
Give this audio a chance. If you can make it through the first 12 minutes.. it gets REALLY good. One of the better speakers I have heard.
those of the other variety will never understand us, therefore we must understand them.
I was able to get sober during Covid 19 and this message and many more like it saved me many times
Nice work Charlie, great message 🙏
I’ve listened to this talk many times, the talking dog gets me every time …
Possibly the best explanation of step 1 I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much 🙏
These guys are so good! Charlie P is the man.
I BELIEVE MY PROGRAM OF ACTION IN MY PRESENT SITUATION IS MOVING FORWARD BUT I AM AFRAID AND PRAYING FOR HELP. I CANNOT THANK GOD ENOUGH FOR MY AWESOME FRIENDS. I WILL ABSOLUTELY CRY WHEN I RECEIVE MY BLESSINGS. IT IS ALL A MIRACLE!
Do not fear tomorrow for god is already there. Just stay in the “now”
Keep praying when times are good too. It’s gets better
@@pinonnut i AM GOING TO GIVE GOD THANKS EVERYDAY WHEN I RECEIVE MY BLESSINGS AND LIFE!
@@petersampson5202 work the steps, live in the triangle, Recovery, service, Unity! Your blessings are now, but there’s more, you can find them all through your BB, a recovered alcoholic and god, there. Is the solution.
@@petersampson5202 every sober day is a blessing from God.
This guy is nice to listen to
Amazing share ! God bless
Love Charlie and Katie!
Thank you truly needed to hear this today The reminders after X number of years are needed especially in this COV 19 virus it's still going on July 2020 but I don't need to drink over it but for The Grace of THE MOST HIGH GOD just for today!!🤣🤣🤣
I think being an alcoholic means you want to stop but you can't. No matter how much you drink.
That's the way to stay Sober. No matter what.
20 plus years sober! I drank in the womb! We do recover 🙏🙏🏽
Great speaker! Thank you
Coming up on 15 years . The big book 85 years in April ....amen...
Wow thank you for your talk such a great example of sobriety.
Good message charlie thanks
My name is Jeremy, I'm an alcoholic. TY, just TY
Great work.....God bless
"(Zoom)Meeting Based" SO-dry -ity...whoa thanks for the wake up call Charlie P
Hell of a share Charley.
Loved this talk
Great question! We all have selfish traits within us. Some are necessary, some over the top. Some downright deadly. . . Addicted Narcs rarely ever change ... it's amazing how much they can fake to get their needs met and to feel validated. AA is a huge challenge for them and for their sponsors. Easier softer ways are what the addicted Narcs want. And so for their victims the beat goes on. Till death do us part.
Amazing truths . Thank you.
I'm fighting this restless, irritable, discontent 3 years after quitting. It's rough.
Read page 30 and 85, 3-5 times a day for a week straight. Hopefully that'll help you seek your Higher Power and connect again.
We don’t wanna hear anything out of the book for God’s sake! Lololol
Happy joyous and free
.. my name is orny Armstrong and I am an alcoholic I need plenty of help
He did a really good speech gave good examples I experienced some the same things he brought up But I'm not a Dallas Cowboys fan ha ha .
I’m Australian so no American football here lol 😂
can you relate =) Way to tell it! TY TY
♥️RIP♥️ Charlie Parker! ♥️💔♥️
Rip Charlie
💕💕
I liked him up to the point he said he was a Cowgirl fan LOL.
GO BIRDS 🤠
he talked really well about the decease , but not much about recovery .how he got sober how he stayed sober for 17 yrs.
+John Walters you didnt listen the first 17 years he was sober from only going to meetings. middle of the road solution he was miserable until he found a big book thumper for a sponsor and when threw the big book of AA then he recovered from Alcoholism. Listen to him Katie P and Chris R and he gose more into he he was miserable
John Walters In reality, most people don't need to hear another "war story". We've got our own and have heard countless others. Fact is, you cannot scare we alcoholics into getting sober. Fear won't motivate us to complete (not just start) the steps and therefore, have a spiritual experience. I've been in middle of the road AA...damn near killed me. I am a shining example of the person who tried to stay sober on self knowledge alone. It didn't work. What I needed was to know
the problem, find the solution, and a tangible plan of action. I wish you ALL the best, my brother. Because for us to drink is to die (PG 66)!😊
+KIM JOHNSON it makes a lot of sense when he's saying if you just sit and listen to it he's telling you about the powerless of this program how we say we don't want to take one but we end up taking it anyway and how without God is too much rust he had a very good message and I hope that you got a lot out of it thank you
@@raymondrobbins9495 I have a similar experience. Peter M, Cliff, Myers. There IS a solution. It’s not the meetings I make but the steps I take. Bless you all wherever you are at
the story about the dog too funny.
Just say no.
