You don't have to lie to kick it bro

And who did that

25 and counting. Is that a step?

Keep coming tu

God bless you 🙏🏼

I did.I'm Irish,alcoholic and Sober thank God!!

You know the doors are always open

Please keep going. Reach out! It's ego ...I know the embarrassment..and feeling judged. After 2 and half years I too wandered off into old patterns running the show. There's no way you can get sober while drinking and the dependence on booze is an nightmare. An every ending cycle of blotting out looking for that fleeting feeling of ease. Doesn't really work at all. You know this is a progressive illness. Booze will let you down. Bless you. Your not a loser your sick!

Keep going back

On your feet Brian! Isaiah 40.31 but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like the Eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Brian, please go to a meeting. Find an old timer and ask for help. They understand. I had an elderly man sober for 30 years take me by the hand and take me through the steps. It was a beginning. He then put my hand in the hand of a woman who took me through them again. She put me in the CENTER of a circle of sober alcoholics who kept me busy as hell!! 2 years passed by quickly and then I met another lady who took me through the steps a third time. By then my mind had cleared, my heart & mind were open and I was willing to acknowledge the exact nature of my wrongs. I've kept sober since September 28,2009. Seems like yesterday & a lifetime ago at the same time. Go back if you haven't already....

Jan Webster you let him? Wow that’s awesome. I love father Martin deeply.

Hello my alanon sister.

AEI Automation Group that’s billshit talk 12 steps are not treatments for substance abuse . This is 2020 . Science base programs . Are here and medicine . This is an old ideology religious cult . No one is powerless .

You seriously cried watching this? I mean it's really interesting don't get me wrong and I'm a recovering addict that has been involved in Alcoholics Anonymous for some years but goddamn, it made you cry? I feel like you're lying. 10th step that shit bro ffs

The addict likes to 'Split Hairs' in order to manipulate and get his/her way.

@@jameswright5547 that's interesting. What constitutes splitting hairs for you? Is it splitting hairs that I believe the speaker made several circular reasoning errors and thoroughly misinterpreted the use of a couple steps (a clue, #5 in particular)

A really good friend of mine put it in simple words why an addict/alcoholic uses "It Works". So, what you have stated, is a perfect example of why a person should use AA. Because it works. If the alcohol works use AA because it works. I love it!

@TrollingAndBowling I've been to hundreds of groups and I never heard any of them say AA is the only way...howd u get clean tho?

WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT...AMEN

Where you praying to God in the Pub when you were getting pissed???

Father Martin was a recovered alcoholic. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Martin_(speaker)

Sir, you have been misinformed. As someone who has studied Criminal Sociology, Health Sociology, Criminology, and Criminal Justice, I can tell you that there was NO help for alcoholics in Victorian times. Alcoholics, also called 'Dipsomaniacs', were locked away in the most appalling conditions in state run insane asylums, and prisons, until they died. They were subjected to the most inhumane treatment, for example, ECT, floggings, sleep deprivation, starvation, along with many other disgusting methods of trying to change their 'Moral weaknesses'. It was really only when AA came into being, that alcoholism started being treated as a 'Health' issue. Even now, in 2021, there are people in the world (including doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists), who still think that alcoholism is an indication of a 'lack of moral fibre'. By the way, Fr. Martin was a recovering alcoholic of many years standing.., which is why he knows so much about it.
