June G. "Don't Quit Before The Miracle Happens" - AA Speaker

[@gregorytrapp334]

I've been sober in AA for over 18 and a half years. But it's only in the last 2 weeks that I've known that there are AA speakers on KZbin. My area doesn't have too many open speaker meetings anymore, so this is a real treat for me. All the speakers are excellent long-term sobriety. It's 1:30 in the morning and I feel like I need a meeting and voila! God bless all the speakers that allow themselves to be taped!!

[@jtcraft1323]

There’s also a podcast called Sober Cast that has speaker meetings. Stay strong 💪

[@MalakiDetroitDeadstock]

😊

[@toitoi9801]

Hi Gregory, I'm an alcoholic as well. I've found Zoom meetings very helpful for my sobriety! You can check them out. There's a meeting every hour of every day.

[@kevinmaeder7670]

Hi my name is Kevin M I have 87 days today and I'm loving every minute God has been great I am so grateful

[@goalaspect]

she is a miracle - google Don G - he sobered up and became high level judge in california - from the prisoner docket to the judge chair - many miracles in aa =)

[@somebodyu.usedtoknow]

Hopefully your over the 1yr Mark now! 🙏🏻

[@anthonykoch5260]

I’m 85 days and I don’t feel any god presence or grateful for much most of the time

I love the Big Book, and 12 steps. I love Just and all of our program. Have my 15 years Thank you Jesus x

12 days I can I will I must

[@katharineanonymous6992]

Wow I relate to her so much before she got sober maybe I can be a miracle, too.

[@MalakiDetroitDeadstock]

Don't give up! It's happening. 🙏

[@bkipp]

So good. I came in at 18 and I can totally relate. Thank you for sharing. 29 years sober now but more importantly sober today.

[@robboyd190]

B kipp how did you do it I only have 10 months

[@fluer1724]

Thank you for speaking, so powerful I am currently homeless and my addiction caused this and it is an eye opener! Been sober for 8months from alcohol and three months free from weed so thankful to be free from addictions! Very overwhelmed with homelessness but don’t ever want to go back to weed or alcohol it ruined me! And my family got hurt because of my addictions! Never want to ruin anyone, life is too precious.

[@tomr4376]

Hi Tracey I love what you wrote and I hope you are still doing OK, keep coming back sobriety is truly amazing.❤

[@TMichelle555]

1 week sober and feeling very uncomfortable, pray for me

[@reniemac6027]

23 days here and in AA every day 🎉 had a year once

[@FrancescaNunes-kz7hp]

Aw I pray you make it swiftly through all the trials and tribulations I’m on 10 months myself it’s still pretty confusing to have a good day just with myself and no thoughts of anything else but a meeting or maybe a book to want to run to when I’m feeling uncertain about the future. So nice to be going through a realization that I’m normal just like everyone else. Normalcy and not feeling like a bullied outcast is a really good feeling for me. Please know that life and aa isn’t perfect. Just like trying to live a life of a certain kind of sobriety is 😢 but it’s totally worth all the effort of trying over and over again until your in a place where you can comfortably and outspokenly validate yourself as a sober person who isn’t expecting glasses or bottles to disappear from my life but I’m so glad i have a proper program that’s private enough to contain the stability I so value and love that is only possible with avaibilitiws of programs and professionals that support and specialize in a persons coming together life after 20/30 years of drinking and not having a chance of ever having a job career or being around someone who is healthy and stable enough. Especially when most alcoholics like myself have been able to run away from having to socializing specifically with their peers who share the same interests…alcohols are not my priority to keep me alive and well anymore. So relieving to be honest with myself and others especially those that actually help or at least attempt something else than the stigmatizing and shunning of a person that’s never really been able to think and do something for my own life and then being able to realize that I have to be able for clothes credit cards and everything else that is not a part of my life…hopefully the promises that aa will make themselves visible and that aa is able to fulfill their purpose in a meaningful relationship with me and sobriety. Many people don’t know how to navigate a situation or process without being culty or weird about it. Aa is a very supportive and helpful tool to help someone interpret and process situations and life aspects that were never present in a positive or constructive manner. As a result of this approach iPhone 😊❤

I am grateful to be able to wake up and have this meeting to listen to. I truly need this today 💞

[@alerdman2002]

Some of the disclosures God is giving me.. working through the cause of alcoholism ..for alcoholism is a symptom so we had to get down to the cause, I can so relate to your pain of the past of wanting to die ditto, as I work through after 33 years of grievous pain I'm so glad to read the title don't quit before the miracle, I've experienced many miracles of alcoholics anonymous and it still a wonderful program but now God has shown me a new Awakening,coda , to extend and truly be joyous happy and free I'm trying to cling to see the promises I know that are waiting for me

[@aprilcraig2605]

[@FAITHFULANDPROUD2GOD]

This is literally insane. I'm not even 20 minutes in yet I'm hearing my story to a tee. From the suicide, wanting to be a boy, rather feel physical pain to mom meeting men and becoming bfs overnight. This woman is me. Ik they say how we think we're unique and all. That we aren't. That we would hear our story from someone else. But idk they meant this literal. This woman and I have so much in common. I'm so grateful my sponsor sent me this link. Looking forward to the rest of this video.

[@juliauren1338]

[@UpcycledbyElizabeth]

June, I am floored by your talk. I went to young people's meetings with a sober boyfriend in Laguna, before I ever drank. I remember you. Flash forward, I am 49 and am struggling hourly. I got 2yr chips twice. Now I cannot function without my two cartons of Pinot Gregio from CircleK before buying Bud Light for my husband and I to drink together. I'm in Phoenix now. COVID is rampid. Help.

[@courtneykemple549]

Stayed sober for almost 2 years out of my entire 38. I thought I had it under control. I really f****** did. Little did I know that I would find myself for the past 7 months drinking every single f****** day. To all of you out there who are going through this disease, don't give up. That's all I can say. Don't give up. You have a purpose. You just have to stay sober long enough to find it. If anyone figures out how to make somebody take their own advice, you let me know😂 These 30 day rehabs that they have these days. They simply aren't enough. It takes years and years. Just don't give up

[@dtschuor459]

I hope you chose not to drink...or if you went out you come back in. "Fake it 'til you make it" is really very good advice. I also like "progress, not perfection" If you stay sober, progress will occur.

[@Squawk24]

The problem is booze works until it doesn’t. When you finally figure out that even 2 minutes of the “release” eludes you because of the panic of knowing you went back out again....it will get easier.

[@rubenolvera1176]

June G talls her story about getting sober at 12 years old. How can i purchased this vucfis victiry

[@spoonerpurple]

nothing is a 100% rule....some people relapse before they finally quit...some people quit and never go back..i know people who were chronic alcoholics and never went to a meeting...and all 3 are over 20 years sober....i know people who go to meetings and are in and out of sobririety....in my studies long term sober people have a serious high nutrition scheduel..they eat healthy and stay off sugar..most alcoholics are hypoglycemic....good book called " Under The Influience. Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of Alcoholism James Robert Milam......im sober since 1991....and with no AA meetings....thats 27 years...people say i should go to meetings because if you dont youll drink again.......see.....people have their rules that apply to them...would i tell anyone not to go to a meeting ??...no never...some people need it......so dont tell people that a relapse is part of getting sober...it happens but it is not a given..dont scare people and dont write other peoples program.....we....are...all...different

[@kellynisbett5876]

The big book is suggestive only but if your a chronic Alcoholic as described In the big book. There is a solution. AA is a 12 step program. The meetings are the fellowship. We'll done on staying sober but alcoholism is not about the drink.
