Beth B. - AA Speaker - Sharing on the topic of "Emotional Sobriety"

One of the best talks on this topic I have heard from one of the most relatable AA speakers, Beth B. She does a wonderful job articulating what emotional sobriety means for her, and how important it is to her serenity on a daily basis. Some funny stories, powerful instances of healing, and rock-solid recovery in this tape! :)
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’m 25 years “sober” and struggling emotionally so much this week. I ask myself “Do I actually have a programme?” because at the moment it doesn’t seem like it. I’ve heard some emotional sobriety shares over the weekend and I’ve begun to understand what I need to do. The most important is to get down on my knees and pray to my Higher Power. Thanks

[@kellynisbett5876]

Congratulations on your 25 years. In the low points working with another Alcoholic canbw a life saver.

[@stephenc1795]

I’ve been with a male friend in the fellowship today chatting about recovery, family, jobs, life, death and it’s been amazing. We both cried about times in our own life and for us it’s been quite a raw emotional time recently. It does help me to speak openly with another friend and I’m very grateful to my Higher Power for helping us meet up today.

[@BaseballStrong]

Yes do, live and work the entire 12 steps, 10 years sober and only living off a few steps and my life became unmanageable but with tremendous pain I started going to any length for my emotional sobriety. Doing the whole deal and receiving new spiritual experiences. The disease is cunning baffling & all powerful

[@billiestyles1706]

The instructions are in the Big Book 😊🙏🏽🙏

[@billiestyles1706]

The first 164 pages of the book 📖. Blessings

[@deannakelsay9443]

I'm blown away. 🥲 Thank you so much. 🤗 "How many levels are there to these 12 steps?" 🪜 "How ever many levels you want there to be." 🌈🙏💖

[@foxopossum]

Just exactly what I needed. Touched on some things I have been neatly avoiding. Fearless and thorough honesty for starters. Really excellent speaker tape for women who desire to be the woman they were meant to be.

[@ChristenTucker]

Honesty is a big part of getting SOBER and staying SOBER.
