Addiction treatment WORKS! The Twelve Step Model has been utilized as a treatment for alcohol abuse and alcoholism since 1935. It is extremely important to know that help IS out there and addiction recovery is possible. If you are battling alcoholism, drug addiction, addiction or any other form of addictive behavior, 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 and has become an epidemic in today's world. Many people suffering with substance abuse need treatment, such as inpatient stays, rehab, 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 alcohol and drug addiction issues.

I am so very grateful for Sister Bea's very well-told story of her experience, strength, and hope. I especially appreciated and identified with the challenges of being a "faith leader" coming into the rooms of AA for the first time.

[@FourJaysFour]

Sister Bea is so honest with her feelings. Her story telling is done in hilarious manner. She is genuinely sincere. An excellent speaker. Thanks for sharing this one!

I was feeling a bit down today and only had to listen to this wonderful experience and that was able to calm me down....thank you so much...you are an angel

[@alcoholfree6381]

39years, 3 months of continuous sobriety due to the grace of God and the program of AA! I still go to a lot of meetings trying to help anyone to obtain and maintain their sobriety and to stay sober myself. I have started encouraging people that I hope that they can stay sober forever. A man I’ve been helping is coming up on a year of sobriety. He commented that “forever is a very long time.” I told him that I thought that when you died it possibly got easier? We are living in eternity right now. Seek God every day and do His will for you! God bless you!!

[@bronwyntanner4501]

I was also having a down day. Decided to plug into an AA speaker - I am Al-Anon but I needed some fun and laughter and honesty and program. I got it

[@crystalk8173]

Sister bae gave such hope in her message! I loved " me and god could get me sober, but god and i couldnt keep me sober" it had to be just my higher powers love💙 so beautifully said 🙏 godd bless sister 😘

Excellent speaker meeting, landscaped instead of going to a meeting. Haven't missed one in a month though. I have gratitude for excellent AA and religious programs on you tube

[@whirledperson7459]

I love being in the company of others, even saints.

[@charlesrosebushes7748]

We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free. We cannot subscribe to the belief that this life is a vale of tears, though it once was just that for many of us. But it is clear that we made our own misery. God didn’t do it. Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery, but if trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity to demonstrate His omnipotence. P. 133

I keep imagining the Nunny Bunny off Sister Act, the round friendly one. This is a beautiful share from one alcoholic to all other alcoholics. If you want what we have and are willing to go to any length, then you are ready to take certain steps. At some of these we balked...... Keep coming back, it works if we work at it.....

Amy C, Canada I am very early in recovery, although I have been in and around the AA program for 30 plus years with some short time soberity due to the fact that I now know is because I never did my 5th step. On coming back to the AA program this time, I was given a CD of Sister Bea!! I listen to it many many times and every time I listen to it I get something new out of it!! God Bless you Sister Bea your message is amazing!! By far the best speaker I have ever heard both in AA and outside help CD's!!

[@jtalker9367]

God Bless Sister Bea. Tell it!!!

[@menufrog]

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, Two days which should be kept free of fear and apprehension. One of these days is YESTERDAY, With its mistakes and cares, Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains. YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY. We cannot undo a single act we performed; We cannot erase a single word we said. YESTERDAY is gone. The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW With its possible adversities, its burdens, its larger promise. TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control. TOMORROW, the sun will rise, Either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, But it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW For it is as yet unborn. This leaves only one day - TODAY. Any man can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities - YESTERDAY and TOMORROW - That we break down. It is not the experience of TODAY that drives men mad. It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY And the dread of what TOMORROW may bring. Let us, therefore, live but ONE day at a time.
