AA Speaker Meetings

AA Speaker Meetings – Videos and Talks

AA SpeakerAA speaker meetings have been an important part of recovery since the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous. We listen as people share what it was like, what happened, and what it is like now. Their stories are different, but the disease we share is often remarkably similar.

When I listen to an AA speaker, I don’t necessarily identify with the person speaking. The result is, I identify with my disease. That is one thing we all have in common: alcoholism. Beyond that, our stories, our struggles, our triumphs, and our failures can be very different.

For me, speaker meetings opened my eyes and ears to my own recovery. Hearing someone describe the darkness of addiction and then seeing the life they found in sobriety helped me believe that there really was a solution.

What is freely shared in AA is hope—the possibility that a life once controlled by alcohol can change. These videos and podcasts are a collection of AA speakers sharing their experience, strength, and hope. I have found much to be grateful for in listening to them, and I hope you will too.
