Bob D. - AA Speakers - "Surrender"

Published 2013-04-03
Bob D. does it again and absolutely knocks it out of the park! This is a wonderful tape for newcomers. He explains, in his typical down-to-earth style the nature of "surrender" (a word that gets thrown around in meetings all the time). GREAT talk from one of the best AA speakers ever!

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!

You can find out more at: www.aa.org/ - Alcoholics Anonymous Official Site - As should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with them or any other Twelve Step Program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.

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. Help IS out there!

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."

Every tape is carefully selected to ensure its quality and that it is entertaining to listen to. You can trust Odomtology 12-Step Recovery Media to be synonymous with the best online recovery material out there. QUALITY is our mission. That is why we have the large and engaged following that we do. Have fun and enjoy listening to the amazing, wonderful, and powerful recovery speakers!

  • I went to my first AA meeting today. I cried the whole way there. I have really messed up my life and I have been listening to this the whole ride home
  • @willgreen677
    Ive listened to this many times throughout my time, the first being my 30 days. Picked up my 4 year chip last month

  • @coreyward6937
    Thank God for these being on here. Helps me so much Saturday will be 30 days clean from herion and all other drugs
  • My sixth consecutive meeting is tommorow. I'm in very early days - I keep lapsing, because I just can't imagine a life without being under influence. But this man is a legend. I think I'm on my way as I'm willing to slowly but surely learn. He is able to explain the AA philosophies so well and with humour, which never goes amiss. I'm so grateful that I found bobs talks
  • I was in AA for a few years and stayed sober. Then I got a job on a cruise ship... when I got the job I was told I could go to the meetings on the ship, but when I got there I was told employees are not allowed to go. I stayed sober for the first 5 month contract but I wasn't happy. I ended up way worse off then before. I am going to go back to AA tonight. I want to get sober but I don't really like AA anymore, but I don't care I am going back! I need to do the steps again. I need a sponsor, I have to get involved. God please help me do the right things.

  • I’m an atheist in AA. I’m sober thanks to the fellowship, no buffet god. I’m glad your personal gods are in the rooms cause that invisible being helps you and you help me. ✌🏼and ❤️.
  • @jlroussin
    I got back in AA about 24 days ago. I found a very strong sponsor who is helping me work the steps just as the big book instructs. What a huge difference it’s making in my life. I’m profoundly grateful
  • @Brian.8272
    Ive been in a lot of pain, God wanted me to hear this!
  • @manuelduran3740
    By the grace of GOD I’m clean and sober since 1988 . Great job to the speaker .
  • I love how he talks about easy it is for the ego to resurrect itself. That we could go from totally desperate, “God help me,” to “hey, I got this all figured out, but hey, look at that loser over there.” Surrender to kill the ego, great message.
  • You don’t even need to be an alcoholic to of gotten something out of this message. How wonderful this message was for me
  • @coreyward6937

    Sober again since 9.28.23, after relapsing after having (15) years!!! Ugh ugh, haven’t given up, though considered ugh… haven’t listened to “talks” in ages though went to lots of AA meetings - this talk is profound!! Think I’ll listen more and more as my sponsor always has…he with 35 years sobriety!!
