Took me about 3 mo. Then Court, Bankruptcy, Car totaled with no insincere, law suits, job loss.
The only thing that kept me strong enough was Meetings and not Drinking.
One day it was all over.
That was my 3rd step.
Thanks

Not an alcoholic and not really a fan of alcohol but I find your video very intriguing.
Great information and well done to you for giving free advice.

There is not a …
There is not a chance in i would give up alcohol. I did stop drinking at one point in my life and i felt powerless…never again. I may suffer from alcoholism (which i am aware) but i will not go through life without a crutch again or some kind of defense…

I hit my rock bottom early last year. I happened on your videos and they struck a note with me. I’m happy to say that I’ve turned my life around for the better, and I believe listening to your experiences helped me on my way. Thank you.

THe steps are worthless depending on your situation! At work, they laid off our part time person and thus I have more work and thus more stress! More stress made me drink more! People are just too arrogant and greedy and need punished!

I went to my first AA meeting tonight. It was a better experience than I expected but there was this old truck driver looking guy who is already in love with me. I hope he doesn’t turn into a stalker.

I smoked for 13 years and quit smoking with no problem. Alcohol owns my soul.
I cant walk away. There’s no rock bottom for me. And I know what the answer to that will be. “nothing you can tell us that we haven’t heard.” Bullshit.
People wince and walk away.
Its happened so many times that I know it will again.
I don’t know what else to say.

How come part one has more than 15,000 views and part two a third of views less?? Why don’t people watch part two?!?! … just a thought.
Hope you are o.k. - All the best from over here, Anja (the “hard-box-case” :-):-) !)

The fall-off in the …
The fall-off in the 5-10 year range I believe is caused by people cutting back on their AA attendence. Many do. After 5 years or so, if they’ve done the work, the AA way of life has been learned. It is portable, and you can take it with you. No real need to attend meetings, so they drift away - usually not too far away, but into what you might call an “inactive” class. Later on, they drift back in, perhaps when they have more leisure time or feel they want to “give back”

I’ll take the figures as presented. Why is there (in your opinion) a lull in the 5-10 membership bracket?
BTW: I accept that the spread and longevity of the movement as well as the success that is seen in and around “the rooms” is more than enough to justify its recommendation and continuance.
