- Tom B. is one of my favorite AA speakers, and every time I listen to one of his tapes, I find myself inspired and with a new outlook on my own recovery. In this classic tape, he shares about the all-important topic of acceptance, and how it plays such a critical role in our own recovery. Tom uses his down-do-earth charm and style to convey a wonderful message of immense depth and weight! :)
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 AA: "Most of us feel we need look no further for Utopia. We have it with us right here and now. Each day my friend's simple talk in our kitchen multiplies itself in a widening circle of peace on earth and good will to men."
Namaste, friends :)
12 step person here, at the core of this disease is the thinking aspect and this man covered it perfectly. We just dont feel good enough, seeking outside of ourselves to fix this... People, places and things, for the grace of god I am sober today, but have to do daily work on myself to set my head right....This talk I shall come back to again...
Yep, daily work
Love listening to him ..there are times in my sobriety that I want to blow my brains out ,but I wont pick up ..but never dealt with emotions until I got clean
Hope you’re well Helen
I’ve listened to this speech over 100 times in the last couple years. It changes my life every time.

This is AA at its core. Not watered down. Thank you Tom B.
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Tom B, Emmett Fox, & James Allen have transformed my life.
The concept of looking for similarities not differences completely changed my attitude and desire to attend meetings with people I thought were different than me.

Acceptance is the answer of all of my problems today ...
bad day at work, thanks for helping me pull through "acceptance"
Best advice I ever heard on acceptance, especially the part about accepting myself! The paradox of being able to change is to accept yourself, first. Thank you for sharing!!
Acceptance is the answer to ALL my problems today.
I love his depth and perspective on this very crucial part of recovery. Everything we need is inside of us. When we accept where and what people, places and things may be we find peace.
Since covid I have been living on these RUclips leads and am finding so much wisdom!
God bless!
