Scott is truly a giant in the AA community and will live on through the sharing of his experience, strength, and hope. This is such a good share, this is a MUST LISTEN! :)

My first day sober today. I am really enjoying your channel. Thank you.
Life is waiting, go to a meeting get a sponsor to help you through the steps.
You still with us ?
Good luck brother.
I'm on day one, I've had too many day ones, please God help me.. never have day one again, prayers of blessing to all in recovery, This dude Scott is hilarious his recovery message hits home, very grateful
Hey! Have you made it past day one?
Hey! I hope you are safe and well. Wait wait. I just prayed that you are safe and well.
Hope you are doing well. I'm on Day one. And I'm scared of another day one.
You CAN DO IT FRIEND.
Look up David Goggins “Day One Week One” mentality
10 days sober.🙏🏼God save me and my brothers and sisters from this disease
I specifically remember my 8 days sober and it felt like SUCH a long time cause I had never gone that long in my adult life and now I’m 73 days. Its scary and exciting to be sober. It’s such a hard disease. You can do it. Prayers for you!
Happy 2025.jan 1 ; 12:20 am❤❤❤❤❤
God kept me sober tonight!
I am a not so quite recovering alcoholic but I feel blessed to have found these meetings. Been in these rooms for years and I'm not leaving until I get it right. Thank you all for being you. God loves you and so do I.
And even if I get it right, I'm still not leaving.
I love u
You'll do it man ...I'm the same as we all are God bless and protect you always
Keep coming back!
Our problem is not alcohol. Our problem is our alcoholic mind. Love that part
For my friends who don’t listen to speakers - this is the tape I send them and they are hooked. Scott’s message is relevant, no matter how many years we have. I just turned 7 years sober & I’ve been listening to this tape for 7 years. I love his laugh!! Scott, enjoy the big meeting in the Sky.
“We sold his car...” that is the most extreme I’ve heard from a speaker.
you have to go to a ca meeting then ....lol
@@carterincorporated2480 drug addicts have us out-numbered druggies and drunks don't mix it's like mixing oil and water .. there is a little semblance of a time when they would be called out for this shT . Listen how he says a pound of Cocaine and that he Loves drinking hmmm.... Just be honest damn Scott. Quote from the book " back in their caves alcoholics will go saying... ".
Thanks for reading if you are or think you have a problem with Alcohol purchase a copy of the AA big book and read it do whaT it says it's 2023 My prediction in 10 yrs AA will be extinct or renamed Alcoholics and Addicts Anonymous . The disease of Addiction will replace Alcoholism in our literature. My name is Cowboy I am a Alcoholic noT a addict
@@rolandmcknight97 I never though of it that way considering my whole family are addicts and we used to throw parties where everyone was drinking and smoking drugs so it goes hand in hand for me i have done every drug but alcohol is old faithful
My name is Mike M….and I’m under new management!😊
What a blessing and gift of AA to listen to this today … freely given to unburden those of us struggling with the seriousness of our disease.
Thank god ….we are not a glum lot. 🙏💪❤️😂
11 years sober, and this will always be my favorite. RIP my dude, you helped me through my early days just from this talk and your humor. You gave me hope. You gave us all hope.
This is a amazing lead wish I could of been there
When did he die?
Two years today. A few months later my brother and I were on our way to Disney and he put this tape on for me I have been listening to speaker meetings ever since. Thank you Scott. God is still using you
I found this speaker meeting on Feb 1, 2015. I went to my first meeting afterwards. I am a grateful member of AA today and sober. Rest in joy, Scott R , thanks again for your work.
Congrats!!!
❤
I’ve been drinking steady for 10 years quit two days ago my blackouts are getting worse and since I’ve been sober I’ve never felt better I love listening to these Aaa shows I learn a lot by listening and I’m not the only one struggling with this disease God bless good show
Hiya Ryan....
Well done. ...
Check out ... AA speaker EARL H.
STAY SOBER
TRUST GOD
AND HELP
OTHERS.

it never gets better.
them first two days
Keep up the good progress
_It_ may not get better, but _we_ do. And that's when _it_ often starts to get better.
Sober today and it's been a great talk, thanks for posting!
AA saved my life.
It’s not going to meetings unfortunately.
I’m recovering from a hopeless state of mind and body through the 12 steps, service and unity.
This gives me a message to carry.
Cliff B, thanks for your tiring service and you all, Alcoholics.
Bless you all
Coronavirus causes many to not attend meetings. So grateful for being able to have groups like these through facebook for when meetings aren't available.
"Is this your truck?! No, but it's my spatula..." man. Had me in tears. How beautiful.
Just started listening to these speaker's today. Thank you for being there.
I was brought up in the program. My mother introduced me to him while she began her process back in 2009. She hasn’t had a drink since then. The program really works if you work it.
Actually, it works if *we* work it. I don't know where the phrase came from, but it's an erroneous one.
Thank God we have these during covid. Yesterday was my 30 years birthday, soberversary. I spent it listening to these amazing speakers. This one's my fav! RIP Scott Redman
Congrats on your sobriety!
Congratulations!!! I got sober during the pandemic listening to these. Thank God indeed 😊🙏🏻💗
@@christinwoodard3463 having emotional sobriety and peace. The urge to drink my go away, but the stress that cause you to drink is still there.
Awesome about you sobriety. Keep it up.
I'll never stop listening to Scott. 🙏
I enjoy listening to AA meetings! I miss a lot at meetings, "I am blessed to listen and jot down things I would normally miss.
Excellent speaker. I did not know he passed on…I am happy his legend lives on. God is a beautiful Father and I am blessed to be a part of this journey of sobriety and life.
#soberlife
34 years sober & Scot is my go to AA speaker when I need to hear the message and some great humor. Rip
i just started listening to this and i have been in recovery for over 20 years and i am so grateful that they are here to listen to. thank you
One day at of time
5 min 10min 15min
Happy Sober day😇
Thanks for the solution I came to AA thought meth was the problem I caught Alcoholism and got sober and clean for 6 years in December found out I have a disease that centers in the mind and that no human power could relieve me of my alcoholism but god could and would if he where sought if you need help reach out and the hand of AA will be there
Yea I've gotten duis and I have not recovered from and I know these meetings help ease the boredom drinker......
That was a great share, very relatable, funny and also serious with regards to the disease. Thank You A.A and Scott.
Y’all pray for me I’m about to try and kick Heroine after having have made it to almost a year sober…. You know that “One more time” sounded like a good idea! I know that I can never pick up any substance again safely without ending up in Hell, so todays the day I’ll keep y’all posted, i love you all!
Update?
How is it going?
Hope you're okay
Thank God for these speaker recordings. Thank God I listen and hear EXACTLY what I need to hear. Thank God I'm willing to listen even though my brain is screaming "drink. Drink! Just DRINK." (Side note: It's crazy how quick and loud that voice comes back after I slowly stop doing the work in AA).
I so desperately needed this exact talk this morning and even though it feels like everything is crumbling down around me...I know where the solution is.
I don't know why I clicked on this this morning- other than all my recent "plans" have not been working (weird, right? Lol)
But it's time. It's time to get back into an IRL meeting, but thank God this is here until I can get my butt into that seat tonight.
Great message! I feel rather alike sometimes. But I wont give up
@@rgcv what is it that YOU really LUST
This is amazing. So grateful that I found this page. I have 12 years and 5 months and this video keeps me green.
22 days and laughing in the library and listening to this was like a meeting and 24 hrs at a time
My is lorena
Iam a drug addict 😂 and I'm working on my recovery
And all so working on my first steps 🤣
By far one of the best speakers I've heard in quite a while! Hello funny and thank you Scott for doing what you do!
So much humor & wisdom. Thank you, Scott Redman🌸
This guy is funnier then 3/4s of the world's best comics these days . I got to get to AA im 47 im going to die soon if i dont stop. I decided to listen to this today just need to take the next step and go
Good 4 u!! Happy 2025!!
How are you doing today? I only found AA at 62…1 year later and Scott’s message says every about the opportunity I’ve been gifted 🙏
I started drinking in the early 1960's and stopped on June 26th 2006. My AA birthday is the 27th because that was the first full day of my being Sober. I'LL have 9 years on June 27th, 2015-Im 70 yesrs old, i got arrested when i had 85 days sober, i remained clean & sober since that time. Complaining and Feeling bad slowly left me the Longer i stay sober & clean. The first 2 years are for me were tough but doable. I recommend SOBRIETY.
It damn sure beats the other option
Well done Charles..
My SOBRIETY date 28 June 2010..
So I'm 9yrs SOBER...one day at a time..
Check out fr Leo booth AA speaker from uk.
Take care brother
👍
Good job, Charles. Glad to read your testimony. I was born in '51 to my parents during the Korean War. 30 years later I was incarcerated in a County Jail after being strung out on drugs and alcohol for years. ☆ After enduring withdrawal symptoms without medical attention, which was very nightmarish, I got saved and sober and stayed that way from that point onward. ☆ I just celebrated my 38 years of salvation and alcoholism recovery October 31st 2019, which is two times the national average of all A.A. groups of America/Canada combined, from '92 onward. I try to encourage others struggling with these addictions to do all that's neccessary to total recovery: it's is so profoundly worth it and is absolutely worth the effort!! Absolutely!! Far superior to the opposite effects by a considerable distance!! ☆ Be blessed!!
It's so hard to learn how to not be bored. I think we drank because we're bored
☕🍦 🍼 Wonderful ❣️
Ten years sober and still gets me every time. Love his humor and hi stories about his kids bring tears to my eyes
Moving....and funny....from the heart of someone who has lived it.
You cannot make this up. Thankyou Scott you hit a few areas I need to work on.
Recovering Physically from a car accident,Mentally & Emotionally,this audio came in handy from a hospital bed:)

IT WORKS SO MUCH MORE 4 ME JS THX AGAIN 👍👐
sending up some prayer for you, Boriqua
Good for you Boriqua, I have 7 days myself, rough going but, this sure helps.
Loving all the speakers since we are in covid lockdown. UA-cam A.A. and Zoom meetings are life savers.
I've been listening to this for almost a decade. At least once a year
Wonderful heard Scott R many years ago..still the best speaker ever..God Bless Scott and AA......
This isn't only good for those who have an alcohol addiction... but it's actually helping me think clearly about my own personal addictions in general. :-)
"I didn't tell you that you were wrong out there you were right, but a big guy got up in my face and screamed and yelled, I didn't tell you that you were wrong, don't tell me I can't be mad."
Wow, speechless right there... that's so incredible to me. What communication.
I thank you so very much for sharing your experience strength and hope! I could really relate to you! I have 9 days
THANKS for being there when I couldn't get out coming up to 6 month's sober who imagined LOL
3am, I haven't laughed so much for quite some time. Thankyou.
I feel really privileged to have met you at UnitA, to have LOL with Doug R, Debbie and all the gang at the little brown church (at the time in Studio City) to have watched Nancy your kids and you walk the walk. You are missed ❤️
This is 1 of the funniet brillant speakers I've listen'd to its sad to see he's passed away R.I.P Scott R
Love the story about being bored ‘coz I’m with you ‘ 😂
I knew Scott very well. He was a bright light. So intelligent, witty, charismatic and very handsome. Sadly, he passed away in '08. He lit up the meetings, when he was in attendance. Sadly, he passed away years ago. I miss him terribly.
How old was he when he passed?
He was 56 - he had a heart attack.
Man... I hate that... every time I hear a great speaker I like they're dead... all except Bob D and Chris R.
My deepest condolences 👐 truly inspiration for me 2 listen 2 him over and over. I wish I could have met him someday but just saw ur post and realized he passed away 😓 May he RIP & KNO HE IS STILL SAVINGS LIVES 2DAY ! I WILL KEEP LISTENING AS LONG AS I AM SOBER THX U 💞
So very sorry for your loss. So fortunate it is on UA-cam to listen to. His voice is infectious with excitement.
Thankyou very much to the wonderfull share I am learning things everyday listening to you wonderfull sharers
Thank you for your share and for being of service!!
This is hysterical! Thanks for the awesome share
3 years today after relapse. Grateful.
Loved how you carried the message, I’m German my grand father was first generation German American and enlisted at 17 years old to fight the nazi s cause that is not the true German heart and from all Germans we love you
So good to hear the humor in the lives of alcoholics anonymous. Definitly not a Glum Lot. God Bless
Wow, so loved this. I got my laughs today and shared it on my social media. You rock and so does your awesome family.
One of the best speakers! Apart from being hilarious - no one else has been so good at pointing out the insanity of our thinking, the fellowship, the family afterward, amends and sticking to basics! What am awesome time o had with this one
By far, one of the best Leads I've heard thus far
30 days today. ODAAT. This had me cracking up 🤣. Love this community
Awesome share 💜
Watching tonight Sober from alcohol two years but free of control at last. Threw it all in the trash May the 13th 2022.
Brilliant 🎉
My name is Max I'm 24 . Please pray for my family and my will to get and stay sober again after losing two years clean.
Max ! I am just seeing your comment. I hope you are doing well. You didn't lose your 2 years clean. You are blessed to be able to have another chance. I have seen people so obsessed with their "clean time" to the point that it makes them prideful and makes them feel that they are better than other people. We all just have today ! Stay focused on the day you are in and don't look back with remorse. It took me a while after getting sober, but I look at the Serenity Prayer and the meaning. God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change (the past is something we can never change), the courage to change the things I can (today is the only day that we have the ability to put in any action that will change) and the wisdom to know the different !
Amazing message of experience strength and hope.
one of the best I've ever heard
You are a gem. Thankyou. 20years alanon.
I keep saying to myself ENOUGH. YOU GOT THIS ❤
I LOVE THIS DUDE!😀
This guy is so inspiring!!!!!
its good to now that it works for u and so happy to see anyone everyone gets well ........
One of the funniest ever. Next to Beth. My 1st AA Convention in MD. Was she the funniest ever? Idk...but when your newly sober, never been to a convention and someone tells your story with humor...there's nothing better in the world. I felt free after that night.
Mickey Bush - he's half president half mouse.
This is the best lead I have. I would love to see this in person.
24 hrs for me 😳😳😳😬😬😵💫😵💫😵💫🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope you made it sober to today ❤☮️💜
I pray you're still sober ❤
Praying for you
Wow what a speaker, Mahalo Scott
oh he makes me laugh...
glad to hear this
Welcome every new comer please keep coming back we need you thanks for being sober today and sharing
That was great! 👏👏👏👏
I loved it
“I’m not making fun of you…. But I’m getting close “😆

thanks 4 making me laugh in mij 24th day sober
hey mick, how are things going buddy
23:48 " Can't a man have a glass of wine in his own house?"
That's a qualification story.
Thanks 😊 Scott.
Totally get it. Once got excited about an endoscopy because it meant i'd get a big dose of temazapam...
It might be a very Al-Anon thing to say, but I love U AA people I have called addiction the Disease of the Gods you all have so much to offer! Work your program stay sober
Thank you❣️
This guy is SO FUNNY!!!
Listened to this today and loved it, then found out he passed away...anyone know his story. very sad, I was moved.
Scott..who knew we were both Archie's when we dated in high school..rls. You were my crush..we didn't know we were from the same tribe😂God bless you. Be in peace❤
Loving these videos!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this speaker Scott R.! His humor combined with the design for living through the 12 steps was a perfect way to start my day!!
God is everything❤😂
I listen to this man when I’m fighting off picking up … he brings me along his journey with him , this is the first time I’ve reacted so much to his alcoholic behaviours … I was that person who got sooooo excited o was getting general anaesthetic … like beaming giddy so excited , completely forgot about that they would be cutting me open performing surgery … doesn’t matter I get to be put out and pain meds after !!!! That’s just not normal behaviour lol
5 days sober and its hard af but I started and I hope these speakers help
Hopefully you are still here with us ..
#brothersalign #BLESSED
after 3 years sober I can start. start writing to my daughter. But at least tonight I've got no ivs no ers no cops shit I should go to bed😁
lol, this is perfect
That talk was really excellent.
Interesting talk
This is soooo funny!!!!
His laugh. He had a great laugh.
Just realised that I sounded extremely disappointed when a surgeon told me that a local anaesthetic would suffice, I was confused when he looked worried about my expert comment !
