Matthew M. sharing 12-Step Recovery – “Alcoholism Recovery” – Matthew M. has a powerful story.. Great speaker, and some good jokes and funny stories along the way! For anyone questioning AA success rate or thinks the program doesn’t work, listen to this the whole way through! AA might not be for everyone, but it worked for me, and Matthew.

Each day, somewhere in the world, recovery begins when one alcoholic talks with another alcoholic, sharing experience, strength, and hope.” Make sure to like us on facebook 🙂 We’d love to have ya stop in and see us! www.facebook.com What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a “treatment for alcoholism” or “alcohol abuse?” From Wikipedia: “A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as ‘spiritual principles,’ based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism in 1939. The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems.” You can find out more at: www.aa.org – Alcoholics
