Bob D. - AA Speaker - "Having an unmanagable life, Steps 2 and 3" (Part 2 of 5)

[@rj4610]

Long live the program. Long live our faith. Long live our sobriety.

[@charlesrosebushes7748]

Very eloquently explains what we surrender. We surrender the bottle, the way we live & the way we think

[@evanm3592]

I needed this. I’m very scared. I relapsed after over 2 years and it has been hell. All my shortcomings are showing. My girlfriend just found out she’s pregnant. Today at 5am I made the decision to throw away all my drinks and drugs. I can’t live like this anymore. My mind is a battleground and I just need the peace and quiet I only get from these steps

[@LindseyLeonard4evr]

get to meetings and share

[@monicaramirez51015]

Oh my I hope you make it back to the rooms of recovery ❤️‍🩹 it’s tough yet you can do it one day at a time. You matter still to God. Been sober since 5-10-2015 and on 5-10-2019 I celebrated 4 years and that very day buried my Beloved Husband of 21 years and I AM still sober by the grace of God.

[@sdens240]

Working the 12 steps and getting a sponsor to do them with is the only thing that has made me not think about drinking...quiting cold turkey I was miserable until I just gave in and drank again.... Then it got worse never got any better until 17MAY21 today I wish it was possible to meet Dr Bob and Bill W rather than any living celebrity. Them and the creator of computers, the creator of the internet, I'm a zoom baby.

[@jbenz1990]

If you need someone to talk to hit me up bro. I’m going through the same shit. Sometimes having a buddy system helps

[@jbenz1990]

I have a baby born in October

[@MichaelRoye-v3i]

Thank you God for everything you’ve shown me in the past week… I gave everything to you and you gave me a whole new life. You opened the Universe to me. I see, I hear, I breathe, and I move now. “I am thy robot, reprogram me.” Love you. Thank you. BELIEVE IN YOUR HIGHER POWER!

WOW!!! I am and have been an alcoholic since I was 14 years old. I am grateful for the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and for this channel which I have been listening to every night for the past week. I can relate to everything this man is sharing; it is almost as if he is sharing my experience. Amazing.

[@Fran-fv6pf]

I absolutely love this share. After 14 years of not Turning my will and my life over to the care of any God (Good Orderly Direction) I have finally done a programme and i am living life on life's terms. Thank you for these uploads.

[@stevenmitchell9481]

I had the same experience with my new sponsor too. Thank God!

[@SusejFTW]

When i first got into recovery these talks were like my sponsor. I was too insecure and afraid of rejection to actually ask anyone. After about 3 months I finally pulled it off, got a sponsor and have been working the steps. Bob's speeches are just incredible.

[@DeborahCappellina-oz5vc]

My sponsor suggested Bob D to me and it’s hard for me to understand things. But I’m understanding better by listening to him once a day.

[@AkaMilkyuk]

This man is me I am Him I identify with every single thing he is saying ❤

Hell yeah. Even people in other 12 Step groups say Bob D. helped them with their recovery.

[@sick86stang]

I believe Bob explains and understands alcoholism better than anyone I've ever listen to, I felt just like him I can totally relate to him

[@MsRedinism]

Bob's talks really inspire me. I've just done step 3 and began 4-5. I am currently facing most difficult time in my entire lifetime. I have faith that God will manage everything and find best possible solution for my mother, brother and myslef. God is either everything or nothing... Thank you Bob for your guidance!

Wish you all the best I am doing step 4 now

[@hannah3146]

MsRedinism I'm on step 4 I've been in and out for years and always stopped at this step because it was too painful but I'm sticking it out and hoping that I get some relief or a spiritual awakening. Best of luck if you ever want to talk you can email me [e-mail]

25:73 BOB thats me buddy. Im learning to set aside everything i have thought that i know about the power of God in OTHER peoples lives and learn to access by faith, the power which has eluded my grasp in all of my desire to know the deep things of God. What good does it to know these things if i refuse to practice them.

When my recovery is blurred and unclear like the picture of Big Book, I become open minded and listen to a message of vigorous and raw recovery.

[@tinkercotton9412]

You are telling my story, slowly but surely skipped slipped back into the bottle. years of God's grace and goodness,my my judgement against myself and using the drink to medicate another disorder. Approval and opinions of others I chose to eat from the tree of knowledge of hell and fell into the trap of pretentious looking good on the outside. Was able to moderate for several yrs not realizing was self medicating bipolar disorder. Becuz I was nothing like my brother ouch judgement against him. Grateful it's not as bad as his was...last 6 months I've been Rapidly out of control wout knowing. But costly collisions almost my life got attention to seek professional help maybe inpatient idk....ty my daughter who lives in Portugal turned me on to you. I like that you include who God is and how he lives us so and lives in Us when we let him. 67 yrs young prayerfully will let go of my u old bs (belief system) I've been trying to do by myself and hopefully allow The potter rebuild this ole gal. Heck last few weeks revelation He was the 4th man in the fire with me Again again again. Wow... Please pray for me.

[@b3makinn]

Great talk

[@kennethpalmatier8087]

Ram Dass actually has been an inspiration to me and through meditation, learning to Be here Now I got sober. AA helps but my faith in the hanuman foundation and learning to love, serve, remember has kept me sober. I enjoyed your story of hope and change but please don't discredit some ones belief.✌☮☯️🕉 always love

What keeps me from stopping initially are the withdrawals. 😢

Try increasing protein and fat to help calm your nervous system and give you a feeling of fullness and calm That is what helped me the most. Try watching some videos about keto and low-carb regarding withdrawals Good luck to you

Yes, you can go to an "open" meeting anytime, just call your local AA central office and ask for the times of "open" meetings. Blessings to you and yours!

[@ericwhitney9481]

I have worked the steps, first on my own, and now with a sponsor. I tried everything else first and nothing worked. I believe in AA but I do not believe in my ability to stick to AA. Bob D. talks about how it got harder when he got sober; I identify with that. I've taken the sponsor prescribed suggestions/actions with each step and, so far, they are not keeping me sober, they're kept me drunk. I'm not saying it won't work for you, but it's not working for me. Drinking isn't working for me either. I'm at a loss. You can call it a jumping off place, but I am lost.

[@PdxOregon]

See if your doctor will prescribe you the prescription naltrexone. It was created to help with withdrawals, and it has helped millions of people. Also, try increasing your fat and protein to help calm your nerves and feed your brain Try watching some KZbin videos about keto and low carb, eating to help you understand why this helps Good luck to you

It took me 40 years to get 15 months sober!! I could get 2 months, 6 weeks, 8 months etc. Please don't lose faith, keep coming back. The miracle WILL happen! Sending love and hope!!
