I'm a disabled senior; not able to get out much. Listening to Bob D. and all the other AA vids on UA-cam is like going to a meeting. LOVE these talks! Thank you so much.
same, my legs don't work very well, these relieve me of myself! the gangs in my head TRY to tell me otherwise, but I know better than to listen/rely on my thinking!
I used these method with my girlfriend. She took advantage of this. That's one episode that pulled me down. They are other fish in the sea. AA is the message.
@@miked9425 i'm wrestling with the mind, by the day, plowing from one meeting to another, observing my character which is a freak, such is my unease >:D< Hope you gents are doing well !
I've listened to this probably 10 times now. I'm at 4 years sober now and am exactly where he talks about. It's beautiful how he speaks to me. Thank you, bob
I pray youre still sober as I write this. Keep trudging Rocky. The longer you stay sober and keep reaching and learning, the more the world and God (or HP) will open up for you revealing wonders you never dreamed of.
It cuts off right in the middle of story he was telling about that guy in the meeting that he was so mad at. Me and my wife both are dying to know what happened !!!! If anyone knows, please tell us.
Me and this guy think exactly alike I'm a newcomer to AA facing job elimination in auto industry trying to pay off a second DUI it's 3 am and this has eased my worries thank you Bob D. This one's goin in the library
This guy is the real MVP. It's amazing how when i first came in I was searching for a way out of the program. And then over time, as i follow simple suggestions and humble myself, I dont want to leave. And I find myself listening to meetings after GOING to a meeting. Feed the good wolf! 🐺🍖
108 days sober. After the withdrawal the ease of cravings have diminished. Noa the hard part coming face to face with the demons which were barricaded by the alcohol. 53 years old and facing myself for the 1st time. God I present myself to you in full body mind and spirit. God bless and great listen. So many of his experiences hit home big time.
I really needed this meeting tonight. I’ve been going through a tough time with my self emotionally and listening to this has changed my mindset. Thank you so much for sharing.
The story Bob tells at the end of the video can also be found at 4:29:35 of this video Bob D. and Scott L. - AA Speakers - "Surrender to Spiritual Awakening" - Blessings to all and enjoy this POWERFUL and moving speaker tape! :)
I don’t drink much, but my brother who is in AA told me to listen to this. Bob and his way of outlining how when he feels bad he feeds the beast of outside validation and making himself feel good by bad things and putting others down does not work. Had up that’s me. Thanks for sharing Bob and helping this non-alcoholic seeing the light and explaining how people like “us” think
I first started listening to AA tapes /talks about 3 years ago. I didn’t care the topic(Lord knows I need them all) it was their voice the tempo , timbre of their speech that I needed to ‘hook’ me. After the First talk, I played a second and that’s all it took! 💥 HOOKED! Lol I played the same few tapes over before bed just to be lulled by his magic voice! Today the topics just get better and better, THANKS AA. Bob, you kept me coming back! you were the first speaker I wanted to repeat or tried to play again. Jus Sayin....
Wow this guy is explaining my life in a nutshell. I'm such a social butterfly (the life of the party) with a couple shots but sometimes socially awkward when sober. These videos are life changing!
Thank you for posting!! - it is so important that alcoholics/addicts hear this- so clearly defines the malady of the problem, peace and love from Ireland x
I just love AA 💖 my sobriety date is July 3rd, 1997 👍 I was court-ordered to AA because of my alcoholism 😳 (although at the time, I didn't believe it 😀) has been a bleseing in disguise 💖 since I "changed" a lot 😀
Bob D is a friends sponsor and will be here in April 2024. I don’t put anyone a pedestal, but this man has wonderful sobriety. Even if some beliefs differ. Recovery, unity and service. 🙏🏽
“I had Climbed up on the throne of judgement playing God in the state of separation. Between me and you.” This is the most important thing. We humans need to stop creating separation between us. Alcoholics anonymous is the first program to give us a process to get closer to God and eliminate the illusion that we are separate from God.
Thanks Bob for referring to the original how to the text of the big book❤ As you say, pathetic but true. When the spiritual melody is overcome, we straighten out physically and mentally
feading the beast, sounds like me , man this guy nails it, the new cars the flashy dress more tattoos, look at me, ive tried to fill the hole with stuff all my life, the new corvette the new truck and all the stuff never filled the hole, it just fell through the hole and felt the same as i did before... im on my way to learning minimalism by making others god and myself the maximum priority... its a hard journey for me but im getting there
Im on day 2. I've been in and out for 13 years. Treatment more times than I can count. Somehow, I am at the top of my career right now but at constant conflict with others at work and at risk of being fired because im restless, irritable and disconented. When I was stuck in treatment all i could think about was get the job back, get my family back, the girl, the money, the new car, none of it works. I dont even know how to stop managing my own life. These tapes are the only thing that give me an inclining of hope. I keep praying God will relieve me of the bondage of self because I'm so exhausted of self.
Was feeling restless asf, and just a few minutes in already feel at ease lmao the medicine of people sharing their experiences- Never fails I swear. Thanks the stars
Hello everyone, I'm David and in April 2024 I will be 16 years sober. I didn't actually get sober through AA, I actually did it all myself which was extremely difficult. The best thing I ever did was quit drinking because I actually feel free from the dark cloud that was once over my head. My heart truly goes out to you all. But I have to share that "Sobriety is the best way to a better future". 🙏🏻
Bob has done sober research. The awareness is tremendous. Most are uncomfortable going to the depths he has! If you dont let the car own you or put on a nice outfit for the day its ok, I saw Bob speak in a lazy blue collar town west of chicago, he showed up in a tailored suit. Circuit Speaker ego was what allot of people thought of him, I see he is aware of himself. AA can be a room full of hypocrites as long as we are not all sick on the same day! Bob is a great speaker helping others wake up
I recently listened to your this wonderful sharing on UA-cam that I found incredibly clear and easy to understand. As someone from India, where English is spoken by many but often with varied accents, it's refreshing to come across a speaker whose message is accessible to non-native speakers and Listener I am deeply grateful for the effort you put into speaking slowly and using simple vocabulary. Your structured presentation and straightforward sentences made the content easy to follow, ensuring that I and others like me could fully grasp the important messages being shared. Thank you for recognizing the diverse audience on platforms like UA-cam and for making your insights accessible to people across the globe. Your approach not only helps to convey your message effectively but also ensures it reaches and benefits a wider audience. Please continue sharing your valuable insights in this way. It's immensely appreciated and inspiring. With gratitude, Mukund B from Mumbai india 🇮🇳
I have 7 months will be 8 on 09/11/2024🎉❤😂 these meetings teach me so much especially when I can’t get to a physical one!!! I think it’s great to have both!
So glad I was able to find this. Exactly what I needed to hear. Bob D is a lifesaver and a great reminder of all the tools in this program available to us..
Bob D makes it so relatable. I’m in another fellowship but his wisdom applies in any room. Also he is funny as anything and his voice sounds just like Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul).
Omg! I've been waiting for someone else to say his voice sounds like Bob Odenkirk. I actually saw Bob D speak in Philadelphia and he did not look like him though. But I still can't shake it to this day though.
Thank you Bob!!!! You have helped me hold on for a long time it was needed, and through enough pain I have finally found the courage to let go. Happy sobriety!!!!
Yessss Sirrrr!!! I totally can identify with Bob. D an all other A.A SPEAKERS weather it's ONE word or 2! I Thnk da A.A program for being introduced to mee in 1991 cause I can truly say dat the seed was planted. Thnk Uuu God!!!!!
Talking about not be proud of our past. I can relate to that too. I looked up the antonym of pride and I thought it was humility. I was wrong. It is shame which I have so much. Ashamed who I am. Yes I have to work on my character defects. I have pride, shame ,envy, jealousy, resentment, greed although I personally do not have much etc etc
The quality of these videos is great and I hope that your channel can upload more for those of us unable to attend regular meetings because of disability or living in a rural area or more. Thank you.
Bob thank you in this time's of COV 19 how much These tapes are really keeping us old timers / and old folks 😂 in The Spiritual Life of THE MOST HIGH GOD Yah and Jesus My choice/ 37 yrs one day at a time sometimes a hard beat @ time/ to pass on what was freely given us/ you'll still be blamed for other's missing The Mark God is in control just for today I have one sponsor left The rest has went to The Father in heaven after full filling their journey thank you for sharing for you can't keep it unless you give it away thanks and many blessings your AA sister 😘🤗🤗 October 5th 2020 thank resentment The number 1 killer!!!!
Thank you for this amazing service! Your kindness will have ripple effects that you will never be aware of but God kows❤

At 11 years of sobriety, I am so grateful for your way of describing your journey!❤
Thank you. 32 days today!

We have live online meetings now. Using an app called zoom, if you could get someone to help you use it!
How are you doing Matt? 🙏
I used these method with my girlfriend. She took advantage of this. That's one episode that pulled me down. They are other fish in the sea. AA is the message.
The fellowship and God saved me from myself. Simple as that. 741 days sober, one day at a time ❤
Bob D helped me get sober. I’m at 2 years and 5 months where I couldn’t stay sober for a single day since 21.
One day at a time.
1 fed 2021, i'm here, first day sober, i find this wisdom great to all people, alcoholics or not.
Right on brother, keep coming back!
Well its been 11 months for you now. Almost a year. I hope all is well.
Welcome
Hope you're still doing well

Ditto. Think I was looking for a way out ...
In the late evening I take my medication and lay on my bed listening to many of these speakers God bless AA
Bob is a awesome AA, he devoted his life to helping other alcoholics what a great mentor to myself and others.
Bob is amazing he explains untreated alcoholism like no one else I can totally relate because I felt just like him
I truly understand things so much clearer after listening to him. He is the best speaker! This talk is just exactly what I needed to hear.

Get closer to high power as we see it... mine is the energy ✨️ and vibrations of the universe. I am 13 mons sober and feel very free...🪶✨️🙏✌️
Absolutely
Why can't I feel that connection to God. I'm 7 weeks sober and struggling with my emotions 😢
@@paulFagan-fh9oc7 weeks is a good start for your Body to recover but spirituality comes back a little at a time over years ! 😊
Thanks Bob for referring to the original how to the text of the big book❤ As you say, pathetic but true. When the spiritual melody is overcome, we straighten out physically and mentally
"Feed the good dog inside" Wow thats so simple yet so powerful.
Continually turn it over,even when I'm not feeling it, keep turning it anyways! Bob D is a wayshower! God bless him🙏
I listened to this ..and when I did . I listened to it again, and again and again.
Oh and I've been bulldozing my sobriety for 2 yrs 3 months now.

Talking about not be proud of our past. I can relate to that too. I looked up the antonym of pride and I thought it was humility. I was wrong. It is shame which I have so much. Ashamed who I am. Yes I have to work on my character defects. I have pride, shame ,envy, jealousy, resentment, greed although I personally do not have much etc etc
Am calling a man today to start doing the steps
Bob D is my faves... I imagine he looks like the Lawyer from Breaking Bad, His voice reminds me of him!
Hahah he totally does!!!
Yea. I always thought he sounded familiar ..
Dude you're spot-on.
If the lawyer wore Ed Hardy Jeans yes
I’ve seen Bob D! I just remember the hair color and proportions though but not his face! He didn’t look like I imagined.
