Sandy B. - AA Speaker - "God's Plan For Us"
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 Alcoholics Anonymous: "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny."

Ty Sandy I get stuck in wondering what my he's will os for me I am told by my fellows, as long as I am doing the next RIGHT thing, that's living in God's will. Doing what is right for the greater good is God's will for me today. I'll get into tomorrow when it comes, let's get another 24 hours fam! 18 months on 2/23

+KatherineMacChesney Sounds like somebody has a resentment. God of the Bible loves ALL things good. AA is a gift that has been good to millions. Millions of people getting and STAYING sober, for over 80 years and counting, in AA makes it quite relevant.

Seems to me complete demoralization over and over because that's the only time alcoholics are willing to listen to anybody other than themselves. Certainly true for me

Saw Sandy speak a few times in the early 90’s in northern VA. Listened to his cassette tapes back in the day.
Old sober AA member 37yrs thank God I'm AA this Corona virus My teaching tools come in handy keep it simple stupid 🤣🤣 let go let God meetings on line thank My God of my understanding for the blessings of soberity My Life and being able to help others with this disease love this speaker!! Sober *crazy 🤣 out here!!
Powerless, I see it everyday! So God has used it for me to use it as a visual tool to help and stay sober. I keep going to AA because it keeps me well. I don't ever want to be trapped in a box. I may be sober to go into pastures to help, not watch behind or on a screen.
Wow! The very end where he talks about almost dying when the trustee was talking. Fast forward, Sandy peacefully passed at an AA meeting.
Sandy B is the best
I needed to hear this today. Thank you God.
"one of the biggest action verbs in AA is "letting go"". Love it!
A different level of consciousness

I agree. Its like in the "Good Book" where it says pray in a closet which means dont go around "bragging about being Christian" but instead "be" a Christian. Be sober, live sober, practice these principles means do it in a practical way and become masters of the craft (craft=practical art or science) like a medical practice or legal practice where the "practicioners" are the masters of the craftwork not beginners but they know that they are forever improving how they do what they do. That is the program: progress not perfection because we are always growing in understanding.
