Open Honest Willing | DonInLondon |September 10 2008 | Don Oddy | DonInLondon | Recovery Resource Videos | Alcoholics Anonymous | Addiction is often described as being unable to stop taking a substance or unable to stop a form of behaviour which is harmful. My experience strength and hope is shared here on these videos. I would suggest anyone anywhere with addictive behaviour to find professional medical support and helpful forms of support. The type of support we choose is a personal choice. For me, a combination of professional medical support and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, helps me keep sober on a daily basis. Professional advice on medical matters is paramount in my opinion. I have found fellowship keeps me safe from relapse and has improved my outlook on living simply a day at a time. I do not speak as a professional or speak for anyone else but me. I have found my life improved emotionally, physically and spiritually by keeping safe and to suggestions from professionals and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. I do not represent Alcoholics Anonymous, I share how fellowship helps me keep safe one day at a time. music: “music for airports” Brian Eno: www.enoshop.co.uk my photo link: www.doninchelsea.myphotoalbum.com my other video: link www.doninlondon.myphotoalbum.com email me: don@donymous.org Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholic Alcoholism Addict Addiction DonInLondon Don Oddy Recovery Rehab

@JenniferBubnis Consequences are what initially got me to change what I was doing. Sorry to hear that things went sour for you, but know that if you want to stop, you can. Also know that the depression will ease. There are lots of approaches to abstinence, and if what you are doing isn’t working for you, try another, and another until you find one that lets you get traction. Good luck, and take care, Mike
I had 10 months clean than 17 days ago i used – death run. A 24 hour period. Got tons of consequences… Now back home feeling like I’m stuck here. Can’t die cause the fate of my life is keeping me here for a unknown purpose. Or to suffer from my own mind. Love your videos btw.
I would like to provide you with a professional, empathic, unbiased, encouraging, and safe environment as your guide towards boosting your self-esteem. Go to my channel and click on the link to my website. Are you ready for change?
Yes, thanks for this. I had a really bad experience of AA. They screwed everything for me, even my sobriety and my relationship with my then girlfriend. They put so much shit in my head, it’s taken me years to get rid of it. And yes, they will tell you to ‘go to meetings, don’t pick up a drink’, when you are telling them you are losing your job, your house, your kids your wife, everything. These people should be interned, they are dangerous.
This vid hits the nail on the head and I can agree with it 100%. I was told if I worked the AA program my life would greatly improve and it was not the truth. Being involved w/ AA was a complete waste of time, energy, & resources. It kept me stirred up in AA, and its solutions had disastrous results in my real life. I witnessed the disastrous results in too many other peoples’ lives. Once AA gets a person sick they turn on them with abuse. Too many people have been harmed by AA even non-members.
Exelent!!!
thanks for this
