Sober 30 years

Walked into rooms of AA 25 years ago! Saved my life! It works if you work it!✌

Player #4928578frann, I am sober 30 years 🥰🥰🥰

My grandfather was in the Blue Book, I think, or the early history of AA, as a founder in Washington State (known as "Al S"). I once was visiting a man who at that time had several years of sobriety. When he found that Al S. was my grandfather, he immediately recognized the name and told me that it was his speech that saved him. My grandfather was such a normal, ordinary man--but 300 cars showed up at his funeral, filled with men and women paying respects to the man who had "saved our lives."

AA is unquestionably a life-saver. What a wonderful concept - alcoholics helping other alcoholics.

EarliestSpur6, I overcame instantly when I found God and continued prayers and faith.people I know have gone to as and survived as well.they probably had no idea their notoriety would spread so far

grateful member of Al Anon for many years

PerkyLin, it is heart breaking

loco, True. Not all can just continue in sobriety. The fatal failures continue to happen.

Uninitialized, I am also a greatful for my Al-anon program.Courage to Change.

Thank you God for these two very brave men and one woman to helping many others 🙏

happyhappyduh, I find it sad that the ones who gave testimony of deliverance from alcoholism without mentioning God received zero "thumbs down", but because you gave honor to God for helping you, 17 people scorned and discredited your testimony.

JESUS is the answer to all addictions.....heroin, 26 years clean. thank you Jesus!!!

loco, so sorry, I know. In my family Alcoholism was rampant. From my own household (stepdad, thanks to Jehovah God, I HAD A 4X4 MOTHER, WHAT AN WOMAN.EXCEPTIONAL) to extend family. ALOT, I MEAN ALOT.

loco, so very sorry for your loss.

The TV Show “Mom” is an illustration of how AA works!

Sober 13 years this month thanks to AA, the Fellowship and God.

You never overcome an addiction, but you can understand it and take steps to deal with it and function as best you can.
