Get ready for an AWESOME message delivered in an entertaining way! I love how Adam relates his story and his journey to recovery. This tape is full of laughs, but carries a strong message of hope and inspiration for us all! Sit back, relax, and enjoy! :) 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: http://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."

Website - http://www.aaspeaker.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aaspeakerdotcom/ This hilarious Alcoholics Anonymous speaker says she learned to be funny, so it would seem she was supposed to be this way. Jennifer H. shares her lessons in recovery, in a frank manner, with punch-line after punch-line, beginning with the first time she ever drank. The life lessons she learned include not becoming a preschool teacher, if you plan on coming to work hung over every day, and to choose a boyfriend who doesn’t have a car, or a job, so when you drop him off, you can find him later. Eventually, she figures out that she has a problem with driving, and decides to move next door to her new Home-Bar. The tone of her speech changes when sitting on the same bar stool day after day, week after week, year after year, until she developed what she calls, “skid row of the soul.” She found herself in situations, where if she was simply a heavy, or problem drinker, there would be sufficient reason to stop. When after a couple DWI's, her high-priced attorney didn’t have any good news for her, she realizes the price she has paid for her alcoholism, and makes a deal with god in her home group's parking lot.
