My names Gage and I’m a drug addicted alcoholic, day 28 of sobriety thank God for the opportunity for a new life, a new perspective and a chance to live.
@@sarahashley3697 there’s been ups and downs and all around to be completely honest but I’m trying and I’m stable. Not a long period under my belt, but I’ll get there
30yrs of drugs and alcohol, i been sober for 13 days.. not a big reader the book was making me bored. But this is great... My cravings are going away day by day... I keep God in my life...
I relapsed after 32 months clean and sober. I stopped going to AA that's why I relapsed. It's simple. Keep coming back and you get what Bill had. I get it now 🙏
I've relapsed over and over too. I'm learning in addition to just going to meetings It's in the working of the steps. It's in letting go of self will and embracing your higher powers will for your life. Steps 1,2,&3 are to bring you to willingness to action, steps 4-9 are to remove whatever's blocking your ability to let your higher power be the director of your life and steps 10,11&12 are the steps that help you maintain your recovery and your ongoing development of your relationship with higher power and learning to continusly turn our self will over that's how permanent recovery is achieved...not that I've mastered that by any means but I'm understanding that process a little better. Thank God!!!
I had only been sober for three weeks. During the Holidays I went to stay with family and there were no meetings in this mountain town. I think that too was my down fall.
Hello I'm Ryan I'm an alcohol and an addict, I used yesterday have lost everything business, family, nearly my latest job on my last chance back to work tomorrow... Journey starts today 🙏 good luck to all! (England)
I’ve been clean for about a month now, And boy oh boy is it hard, because of the guilt!!! Once you feel guilt , You wanna use!!! I am starting to read the AA book and I am reading the Bible, annnnnd I fiiiiiiiiinaly have a sponsor who cares!! We are going over the book today after work!! If I don’t get it this time, I am doomed!! 😈 I thought having wealth would give me the push I needed, boy was I wrong!!!! In my opinion, I think the only way to beat this 🦠 disease 🦠 IS To ultimately Respect Jesus by our actions, Even when nobody is looking, then everything else will be sure to follow. May God give us all strength🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
What Bill says about accepting God was one of the best things I’ve heard. I love that there’s recognition for us atheists, and it’s helped me understand and develop a relationship with god in a way that I never would have imagined. Thanks to everyone in the program, you’re doing amazing work!
Besides the millions if dollars and stock market. This should be called "my story" but I'm greatfull Bill did it first so I can be sober today.... it works.
I'm Jeremy im a alcoholic I lost my kids my granddaughter a 17 year marriage job 8 days sober now I thought about killing my self but found aa zoom trying my best now ty so much for this book I hope I can do this every 1:/
God please help me , please 9/18/20 1+ month sober God definitely answers pleas/prayers it's been no picnik but I can finally SAY NO lord keep me strong, please
@@ndrthrdr1 we have to believe in a power greater than ourselves because we dont believe in our self,believing In a power greater than ourselves gives us the strength we need to stay clean/sober 💜🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much. Alcohol is such a “normal” part of life. Not an AA guy but when i fall off I listen to this and it really opens my eyes. Thank you bill for your great story for that a lot of people can relate to ❤️
James S: Glad for you. There are many different kinds of AA guys. mAny think they don't fit in there or in "a group" until they do.Maybe you'd find that there is room for your soul, too!?
My name is William and I am an alcoholic. 1 day sober 😔. I don't want to lose my Wife and kids. I don't want to lose my life. Please God help me remain sober.
I regret not having my father read we agnostics. I worshiped like God which was to his detriment. I was sober 9 years when he died in a drinking related accident on my road. I have 34 years now.
Ive been committing slow-drip suicide for many, many years. I just started this program because I cant live like this anymore. My issue is I have never been religious. I dont even think about a higher power, so this is new to me. Is there anyone out there who feels, or has felt like this? Im not an athiest but i just feel ....nothing. Empty. One day at a time. For todsy.
Hi, I’ve been sober for just over 10 years and I feel amazing. I was baptized as a baby Catholic, but only really been to church for weddings and funerals ( pretty sad for a Catholic ) I just always felt that there was something bigger than myself. I mean I can’t be the biggest thing out there🤔🤔🤔 There had to be something more. I just think of life, I’ll be honest I could have been hurt or dead many times. But I’m still here. 🙏🏼 Good luck with everything and I wish you well. 👍👍👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This aint easy.. sometimes I feel like it's just my wife that has the problem with it.. I just want to know that ever once in a while I can let loose... But when does that day come..
Everyone can do it INCLUDING YOU. No matter how badly you are you are in a hopeless situation. People worser than you got off of it and they are no better than you. Improve step by step even a little until you find your resolve to completely stop. Any improvement is in the right direction for now. Drink 1 less glass...cant? Throw the last bottle when theres only 10% left of it. Do 20% next time. Just improve even 1%. Over time it builds confidence. You might skip an evening here or there...small tiny progress become HUGE. You will believe in yourself abit more and youll know total victory is the same and youll want to go to zero.
@@ndrthrdr1it’s literally a chemical imbalance. Alcoholics brains’ have so much more euphoria when drinking than normal people. They hit a certain threshold and it’s all over forever. Don’t talk about things you don’t know about.

Hi Julia
How did u how you r an alcoholic
There's no such thing as an alcoholic. You are psychologically dependent on ethanol, and you can break that dependence.
@@ndrthrdr1it’s literally a chemical imbalance. Alcoholics brains’ have so much more euphoria when drinking than normal people. They hit a certain threshold and it’s all over forever. Don’t talk about things you don’t know about.
Can the devil be a god of my understanding? 🤔
No!!! You will die... The Creator Father of Jesus is the only way to sobriety... Don't let the dark fool you...
just say no
I need help,🥺 am looking for a female sponsor to help me with this program. 🤲
Just say no.
For christ sake, open up a beer. Stop complaining!
Is this a taco jam
When you are poor you stop drinking automatically.
Hmmm not true
No you don't you will find a way to drink 🍻🤐
