“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Theo von?
Amen!
Keep coming back, it works if you work it! WE DO RECOVER ❤
Excellent quote. But AA is very culty. It’s another addiction.
If Steve-O can get/stay sober, then there's hope for everybody struggling with addiction 🙏🏾
Hell yeah
Ye when u have money it makes it easier
@@lwmarkgraalmoney actually makes struggling with an addiction even harder to overcome
That's exactly what I say about myself, at one stage I was a hopeless junkie bad, really bad. I'd rob you as soon as look at you. Yet I'm clean now and importantly I'm legit happy took years, even after cleaning up. I did something dumb af, came off methadone straight onto a blocker. I'm tough, it nearly killed me truly awful. To be specific I dropped to the floor and layer in my own shit and vomit and drugs seem so glamorous let me tell you tbry are far from it. I have some very heavy croses to bear, there mine, I'll carry them. Unfortunately with all the help In the world most have to reach a point of true despair. I've never felt so bad, no respect no family love it was very, very hard and I'm tough as stated. Funny thing I used to think I was weak mentally, am I fuck you don't go through all that and come put without some real mental resilience. Not tk mention other health problems a stroke in 17 brain bleed in 20. Been very, very lucky. Nobody can hurt you as much as yourself. After long thinking about it all, I honestly think it was a kinda weird self punishment situation. I didn't deserve all that I put myself through. Please people, for the love of God, stsy tf Away from cocaine and opiates, your no different to anyone else, it will get you eventually. If you don't know how something feels, you can't use it as a crutch.
Steve o never shot dope. He's not a real addict, just a suburban kid with mental illness. That's why he extrad out on laughing gas and not real drugs. Also why he's obsessed with recovery now instead of just being normal. Had to make it his identity
AA and NA have done a lot of good. But they are not the only way to get sober.
Most definitely other ways but most other ways actually work hand in hand with a solid AA or NA program. At least for hardcore users it usually requires a combination of tools.
@@Voicesonthewindadventureshardcore IV heroin user of 10 years. Hep C and all that. No program, just did it. Continue to do it - at a really high level. 12 step isn’t for everyone.
I've been sober for almost 2 yrs. No aa meetings.
What are some others ways
I don’t believe they ever said it was. Somethings got ya disturbed bud?
Celebrated 36 years clean &sober this year,it has been a incredible journey and will continue to be an incredible journey.AA has completely changed my life,god has done for me what I could not do for myself. It has been a privilege to be a part of the AA fellowship.
Well done
That's incredible. What made you make the change?
@@check4v I realized I did not want to die but I couldn’t live another minute the way things were,there just had to more to life…….
This is badass. I'm 5 years without a drink or hard drug. I found hope and my tribe in recovery meetings! Thanks for sharing
Yeah, they're a tribe, alright.
Steve - o did a great job at explaining meetings and fellowship to an outsider
I’m 7 months sober and I haven’t gone to a meeting, YET. I don’t know why I haven’t but I know I need to.
Go now!!
I'm 6 years sober from alcohol. I smoke weed occasionally but alcohol is my DOC. Been to rehab 2x. First time was 30 days, second time was 90 days.. 2009 and 2012. Both times in rehab revolved around AA and NA. I didn't buy into the brainwashing then, and now. As others have stated, it works for some but not all. AA is good for the first year of sobriety. I don't feel it's necessary to keep going for your entire life. I don't make my sobriety/recovery path part of my personality. Anyhow, if you're reading this and struggling.. try going to a meeting and see what it's like. It might help.. but I don't feel it's necessary to disclose your entire life history to a group of other drunks/murderers/etc. at the meeting. Just realize there's people out there who are willing to help if you want it. BUT IT'S UP TO YOU TO MAKE THE DECISION.
Solid take man! This is as someone who goes currently. It's definitely not for everyone and majority of people dont end up sticking around even of those who get long term time. Some people just need some years away from the lifestyle before they can drink or smoke weed again.
I have 12 years sober from heroin/coke. AA/NA has a place and its actually required for an insurance to pay for a rehab facility but its antiquated. The community works for some but once you get your life together hearing everyone's horror stories and constant relapses isn't sane. In addition if you want to escape addiction you have to escape the life which includes AA/NA. Good for you on staying clean.
@@TheChicagoJunkie someone who can go back and drink again in safety after a period of abstinence is not an alcoholic.
Dude if you're still smoking weed, you're Not sober, hate to bust your bubble. You don't have different sobriety dates for different drugs.
Except he is. You don't get to decide someone else's sobriety. It is a personal journey.
Nice try though.
Just remember the whole point of NA/AA meetings is for recovering addicts to be around like minded individuals who are going through or who have been through the very same situations you are going through now. A strong support system is a must in recovery, do what works for you, just stay sober!
Steve O, thank you! Much respect for your program. Solid work laying out the suggestions of the Traditions.
500 days sober. Never been to a meeting. Just me personally.
Was an alcoholic drug addict for 15 years. My introvert side I guess led me to doing it alone
Bless up dawg. Same I'm sick of drinking alone
You done well to stay clean and sober on your own but AA would help
@@LukeNutting-gm6pg cheers
These two should have a show together
why?
No
Facts they def do
Nah that's not Adams lane he needs to continue separating the black community by sharing violatile information and stirring up drama
@@jasonbilly5247Adam is far from the only one doing that tho let’s be real
In June I just celebrated 10 years clean and sober!! Never thought I’d make it but here I am! AA really worked for me and helped me find the cause of why I was using etc.
I got 13th stepped and almost lost life. I just got 6 months sober for the first time after 5 years of trying. The man has 3 years sober and had been going to that group for 8.
The group refused to acknowledge that this man raped me and assaulted me. He followed me around.
I was told it was my "accountability" because they tell women not to talk to the men. I was told to keep coming back because I shouldn't run from my problems. They expected me to sit in a room with this man and act normal. Then his sponsor offered me $300 to have sex. I have never, would never. I was about to be evicted and I still told him to get fucked. I was told that was my fault too for even talking to the sponsor (who I had met before the man who raped me, and considered a friend.)
It was one of the worst experiences of my life
Yeah, the way they actually act totally belies what they espouse. I can't think of a better explanation of them, than your comment. 90% of them are mentally ill--many, to a dangerous degree, but this is always covered up.
Solid Steve ty for being of service!
Thanks for sharing, almost 5 months clean. I have to go to meetings almost everyday, we’re all crazy. “ once an addict, always an addict. “ When I get lazy in AA I go back to drinking.
Dude at one meeting told me without me even speaking yet "if you stop coming to meetings, i guarantee youll be dead or in jail in 6 months." 2 years later i got my drinking under control with therapy, proper medication, and keeping busy, i drink like 10 beers a week
Right off the bat
Alcoholics anonymous
Anonymous being key word
Press radio or film
Not supposed to talk about it
Stop the snitch
hardcore IV heroin user of 10 years. Hep C and all that. No program, just did it. Continue to do it - at a really high level. 12 step isn’t for everyone. 5 years clean now.
congrats on making the choice to turn yo ye life around. Super weird to me that a lot of people wouldn’t consider it a choice
can't wait for this one to drop.
Saved my life, started early at fresh 20's and its the best secret club to be with.
Steve-O the goat
AA never states it is the only way to recovery and it isn’t. But thank God it has worked for me.
AA saved my life❤🎉
Same here sober since 2016 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Me too 4 years
Sip a drink lil niggas
Me too!! 10 years here ❤
@@amberdean374 that's too bad ass I'm almost there
I was working for a rehab and had to drive the patients to aa meetings. I met Steve O he was speaking at one in laguna Beach the fire marshals came and shut it down an hour in bc the building was over capacity
Sober since 5-10-2015 😊celebrated 9 years on 5-10-2024. Buried my Dad my Mom and my Husband of 21 years all in my first 4 years of Sobriety and by the grace of GOD ❤and AA 😊I did not drink!!!!! Working with my Sponsor and she always says, keep it simple 😊trust God clean house 🏠 help others!!! I don’t get to run the show anymore, GOD RUNS THE SHOW NOW!!! Let go of control especially work Steps 6, 7 those character defects need to go so that a New Monica can live this way of life on life’s terms one day at a time 😊and be humble, honest open minded and WILLING to change 😊God Bless anyone that truly wants Sobriety ❤
What ever happened to practicing the tradition 12 ,
once you step through those doors its doesn't matter who you are in the outside.
Been ten years clean!! It took my Granny and pops passing in the same year for me to clean up
Anyone that is practicing the principles wouldn't ask a celebrity unless they offer. I have met individuals that are celebrities in meetings and I treated them just like anyone else, cause it's "one alcoholic, helping another alcoholic".
Agree. In Nashville there are quite a few "celebrities" that attend meetings when not on the road or people in town for events. It's great for them and the rest of us to realize in that room, we are a bunch of alcoholics/addicts with the same issue trying to be better one day at a time.
i loved goin to meetings in LA, meet alot of geniune good people whuch says alot for LA.
Congrats on staying sober. 29 years for me. I've never heard "California sober". I love AA you meet cool people and have a lot a fun.
I've been sober a little over 2 years, and there is no way that I could have done it without AA.
Great smile! So happy to see Steve-O smiling and happy. Life is short. Enjoy it.
If you don’t need AA, why poke holes in it for the people who have been helped. You don’t get the concept.
Haters are haters they’ve got a disease it’s called bad mindedness they can’t help it they just hate!!
Lol, I had to look up who Steve-O is. Love what you said about not messing around with new comers! I enjoyed this podcast!! 07/11/15
I have a new respect for Steve-O. His grasp of the principles and respect of them is awesome.
Finding love at meetings is called "The Thirteenth Step"!
2 years 6 months this past Monday and I'm also terrified of going back. But I don't have to as long as I stay in the program and do what's SUGGESTED. I've learnt in my early days of recovery through the many relapses, that yes, some people can stay clean / sober on their own, but I'm not one of those people.
And Steve O has a rock solid foundation!
Release the whole interview already dude.
"I went to a meeting a couple of months ago.." 😂 Been there before when I first started out. Then you realize there are meetings all the time, 24/7 and should get to at LEAST one a day if you plan to stay sober
have they not uploaded the episode yet?
Just release the full thing man
I thought Steve-o was about to tell the world about the 13th step and start giving the dirt on the twelve step communities lol
i had a crazy 6 month bender when i worked at a liquor store. i never really cared for booze before that. but that spirit overtook me. i could get a 750ML bottle of 151 rum for around 8 dollar wholsale price and that was the beginning of the end. Luckily my boss lost the business and i never really went around other liquor stores
NA and CR saved my ASS! AA and ACA also had a big part in it.
Also a few months ago my husband saw Steve O in a Food Lion in Portland TN and he was so scared to talk to him. The crazy thing is he said if he was high he could have obviously 😂😂😂 I would’ve definitely went up and talked to him if I was there. We been clean since 2020 and Steve O and a few other normal-celebs have been a big inspiration to us.
It’s amazing that Steve o is still alive
Ive been to 2 meetings, it made me wanna drink so much more hearing all about drinking
Apparently Steve O has never heard of the 11th tradition of AA, that we are anonymous at the public level.
True. But I don't see the harm in this. I kind of disagree with that tradition.
One purpose of that tradition was to not have people being proud of their recovery and telling the world and then constantly relapsing such that others won't try. A solid foundation of recovery when shared with humility and respect for the program is not the problem the 12th step addresses. Also not outing others
Alcoholics Anonymous public relations policy is based on attraction rather then promotion stating its members need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.
Steveo da 🐐 no 🧢
I never even knew you were an alcoholic Steve o but thanks for your inspiration and insight
Where’s the full interview
I love how much Steve-O respects recovery and AA. I also agree you should never 13th step a newcomer because they are very valuable and in bad place emotionally. People don’t go to AA when they are on a winning streak. I know I did not start going to AA on a winning streak.
So much for living the Traditions.
Indeed
Adam went to a meeting with house phone 😅😅😂😂
Shout out to the victory blvd meeting
Even though I didnt date an AA member in my first year I did get into a relationship that ended in divorce. Luckily I was strong in the Program. I celebrated 12 years sober this past May.
That’s called “13 stepping” (praying on the newcomers) 🤮 Horrible behavior
Hi, my name is Alex and I'm an addict.
Adam talking about a dude that has a wild story 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for saying, don’t mess with newcomers.
Steve O does the DEAL!!!
AA and NA help me out since 11/8/19 and it works
Messing with the newcomers is:
The white chip sniper is what that’s called lmfao
You sound great Steve
AA is one of the only ways to get sober and stay sober if your an alcoholic…it’s track record speaks for itself …but haters are going to hate
Aa is the only way I've been able to stay sober on a consistent basis over the last 25 years, what steve o says is totally accurate,,,I've tried everything else
I met Ronnie Winter of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus at a meeting in upland but I personally left him alone and didn’t ask for anything but he did take pictures with people
Anonymity? Taking picture at an alcoholic ANONYMOUS meeting is hilarious 😂
@@PanicChordB yeah I didn’t partake
I didn’t really like the Anonymous aligned meetings tho, very much a culty vibe
@@theeevolone I got that vibe at first. The “recovery” happens between the meetings anyway. The 12 steps have worked for me but there are definitely other ways to stay clean. Hope you’ve found what works for you!
These two got good chemistry 🤔
Breaking 11th tradition but i think this is cool. Right on steve o.
The goal is to drift away but to stay the same new person you just became
AA is the least effective way to get sober. If it works for you great. But for the 95% of people it doesn't work for you end up putting them on the wrong path of self-blaming and guilt and shame. Some people need to identify themselves as a victim and spend every day talking about it for the rest of their lives and making it their identity. If that's you then AA is your ticket.
Exactly. They don't like the truth spoken. That must have been a good scene, when Bill Wilson tried to convince the AA board of trustees, that AA should endorse the use of LSD, to overcome alcoholism.They basically told him he was fucked, then hushed it all up. That's the real AA for you. People just believe all this bullshit propaganda about it. The head office didn't give a fuck that women were getting raped, going there.
Hello
Man I'm happy Steve o turned his life around but he acts like such a white knight now. It's like he is obsessed with being clean. It's all he ever talks about. I'm 6 years clean but I don't make that my identity.
Yo stevo is definitely about the program
I want to hear steve-os lead.
That was a closed meeting n nit just anyone can just show up.
Lots of quality information regarding addiction at those meetings, it wasn't for me personally. People I don't know trying to hug me, nope. I don't like that shit, unless I know you properly. I will big them up though kept a friend dry for 10 years sadly gone now. Fuck i miss him. RIP bro.
I've been to loads of different meetings and nobody tries to hug you at all. What are you talking about
Not sure if AA is really it. Once an addict always an addict is a little low . You choose what you want.. recover or drugs
We used to have a famous tv personality in my men's AA meeting. No one cared. We'd all go out to dinner before the mtg and he was just another dude.
My brother is acting rageful
AA is good for some. But why has Liquid Death attached itself to all addict vids? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Getting sober is EASY. Staying sober is difficult. That is where the 12 steps come in. The problem is me not the drink or drug. Those are the solutions. The problem is ALWAYS me
Good job steve o. Explaining. And Yes don’t mess with new comers. 👍. Congratulations on 15 yrs. Stay afraid . Serious illness.
I guess you are not familiar with the 12 traditions, look them up please
There must be a lot intellectual types who go there.
AA has a reported less than 10% success rate. But it is talked about as if it's the best and ONLY(cult behavior) way to get clean.
As a person raise Jehovah's witness, the tactics are very similar.
Are you in the program m?
Meet market
2 yrs most
Most gotten me VS sleeve o
Aa are not fruitcakes or gay .
Steve O in the houze😂 All my buddies that been to AA or drug rehab come out to be worst
That is not the fault of AA or the rehab
I been to AA meetings with one buddy he had a bunch of his coin or chips or even 20 or 15 year chip you know how boring and depressing meeting was I joked with him it drive me to drink or do drugs all the more🤣
Az.
