I absolutely love hearing Clancy speak. He is one of the best AA speakers that have ever lived, in my humble opinion. In this tape, his razor sharp and quick wit are on display, as well as his stories filled with hilarious antics. This tape is VERY entertaining. Also, he articulates the message of recovery in a simple, yet profound way. Thank you so much for what you do Clancy! Enjoy the tape everyone! :)
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."

I got sober in Clancy's Pacific Group.. I owe my sobriety to Clancy's foundation and program of action (I have 29 years +). He saw me in a coffee shop some 6 years after I left the PG and he remembered my name.. I didn't think he even knew who i was. When i had a day sober I almost walked out of his backyard... angry that he was calling everyone near-do-wells (I later learned this was part of his jest). My AA eskimo friend ran after me and dragged me back.. and I fell in love with his Saturday softball regiment. I owe my life to AA; Clancy, and his brand of the program. This took me way back.. a great listen. Thank you AA.

I found Clancy on You Tube today, never thought to look. What a blessing. I listened to an old cassette tape of his over-and-over again in 1992 when I was new. His words on that cassette tape helped me more than I can adequately describe. They have been with me everyday for my 30 years of sobriety. Rest in Peace and thank you Clancy. 🙏🙏

This video was posted exactly 1 week after I gave sobriety a real shot. What a crazy roller-coaster ride of emotions that first year was. Lasted about 19 months before a relapse. Went out over a petty resentment and a bad case of self-pity... No thing is so bad that a relapse won't make worse. So glad I made it back in! Next October I'll have 5 years, SO SO GRATEFUL!! ♥️

Clancy's disease of perception talk was basically mandatory listening in my original sponsorship tree and homegroup...he is the first person ever to explain the disease to me that made complete sense, and I new it to the core... 'this man knows all about me...and there is a solution!' I got to see him in Wisconsin 3 times before he passed. He is such a great guy, helped so many people.

Sweet William in Bozeman and gave me a copy of Clancy many years ago and he said kid go home and listen to this guy and bring it back to me tomorrow and tell me if you still think you're crazy that was the summer of 1992 and it kept me sober and gave me insight into my real problem which is not ingesting alcohol it's living with this brain. Clancy saved so many lives by helping little Knuckleheads like me understand that the solution to the problem isn't stopping drinking it's learning how to live.

Somebody said “see if you can get Clancy to speak!” I had no idea who he was but I called him up and asked him to speak at our meeting. His calendar was open and he agreed to come and speak. It was a great evening and I haven’t had a drink since 1989.✌️

I left Montana drunk .My truck broke down in Vegas , and I never made it to California. But ,In Vegas I did run into some sponsees of Clarence Snyder and found sobriety. Thanks Clancy for getting me to make that trip. God works in crazy ways.

If necessary go to two or three meetings a day for a while to jumpstart things. I’ve been a little out of sorts lately so today I’m going to 2 meetings and I’m going to do that for the next couple of days.

We knocked on these black (?) steel doors, and a growly old bastard opened it and asked what we wanted. We told him what our Street guide said, and Clancy looked at us,i we in our 20's, and snarled and said, "get out of here, you haven't suffered enough." 10 years later, on 3/24/1977, I had my last drink, in So. Calif, and in my first 4 Years of Sobriety and Service Work, got to know Clancy, Paul O. Chuck C, Annie, and other local speakers. and never joined Clancy's Saturday yard group at his house, but always got a hug from these 3 Men, as we met from time to time throughout the Country. They were "water walkers," to we newcomers and never lacked REAL humility. I left Calif. in 6/81 with my family, but these Men and many others live in my heart and Recovery today and everyday. TYG.

Clancy and Tom K. are two of my all-time Hollywood heroes. Legends who've saved trillions-of-show-business lives in Hollywood, oh and not just Hollywood people/lives - everyone, every occupation, all walks of life. Honesty saves lives, and these two are among the most honest/honorable Gentlemen on the planet. Tom K. drove 35 miles from Sherman Oaks, CA and at 11 p.m. at night. To the club Clancy started many years back on Ohio very close to the Veteran's compound. For I'd just moved West, ran out of money, was partying too hard - i.e. not taking care of business. Tom K. basically gave me Life in Hollywood - breathed it back into me and by Caring. Love you Tom, love you Clancy - thanks from the very bottom of my heart. This goes to L.A.'s strongest group/people - the Pacific Group. Despite his hilarious talk here, Clancy's won at all walks-of-lives, having once invented the advertising slogan and campaign for Elsie-the-Cow. A campaign that made ME want to get, go into advertising. Sure enough advertising on huge Madison Avenue was my first professional job post grad school - i.e. Toyota Retail serving the tri-state area of NY, NJ and CT. Might look Clancy up over the Holidays, i.e. go down, give volunteer service at "Midnight Mission" on Skid Row. ...

My first several years, daily I played & memorized many of his tapes, especially the Disease of Perception, along with The BB Study by Joe P. & Charlie McQ... I Am So Grateful Those Three Wise Men Provided Me A Foundation & Understanding Of The AA Program. I Am Honored To Have All Of Their Autographs In My BB!... RIP Clancy!...

@@kerriann8441 If you find friends & support in AA then there is nothing wrong with attending those meetings. They generally ask that you substitute words that imply alcohol as your issue. However many alcoholics also have a drug problem & right up front the Big Book clarifies that alcohol is a drug!... I Myself initially found the best support in AA. But I went to both NA & AA for years. Today I tend to go to AA Meetings because I find more quality sobriety there. I would be looking for a temporary Sponsor to help you with your immediate needs. If they have years behind them in the Program, they will be willing to help you sort this out. Also I found more quality clean time in the city meetings like in Tulsa. After attending some of their NA Meetings I was more able to go back home to my rural meetings & find those who had quality in the NA Program.

The truth is that it takes one to know one. I'm glad I am a sober alcoholic. Between us (I know sounds weird because we don't adjust nor make comparisons with others) I do live a better life since sober, than others who consider them self normies. And probably they are what they pretend to be. What I am, I don't have to pretend. I am grateful for AA and the people in it.
