“The Third Step is a thing to do. You say, ‘God help me. I totally screwed my life up running it myself. You run it now.’ It’s not philosophy. It’s not theory. It’s an act, and it works.”— Bert B., alcohol, drug, food, nicotine, and sex addict

“The All Addicts Anonymous Program changed my life from one of pain and despair and ugliness into one of joy and brightness and gratitude.”— Meredith P., depression addict

“I feel much better now — physically, mentally, and spiritually. God is real to me in a way He never was before.”— Jim H., alcohol and drug addict

“It is wonderful to find oneself free of ancient shackles. The AAA Program gave me freedom. In a real sense, the Program is freedom. Try it and see for yourself.”— Tom W., sex addict

“The amazing thing from the beginning was that I started to get well — really well. I came to see that I had to live the All Addicts Anonymous way of life — that I’d been crazy, and now I could be sane.”— Susan W., anxiety addict

“I began to see that the Program was true. I began to hope and believe in it. I saw that the truth and my sanity were somehow related to each other and that without the truth I would stay crazy.”— Tom P., alcohol and drug addict

“The AAA Program is God’s gift to us. It’s not just a way to get out of a jam — it’s a way to live, it’s a way to get the joy that you can’t get through sick sex or from money.”— Bob S., money and sex addict

“It took me forty-three years to stop drinking and drugging and forty-eight years to stop smoking and to eat right. All this — and that I live as a faithful wife today — these are the greatest gifts that God has given me.”— Kiki M., alcohol, drug, food, nicotine, and sex addict

“My whole life, I’ve wanted to belong. I came to my first AAA meeting one Sunday, thirteen years ago, and I sat next to another recovering addict and I said, ‘I’m home. There is a place for me.’”— John L., alcohol and drug addict

“I began experimenting with quiet time and seeking conscious contact. Those two words — ‘conscious contact’ — defined a huge, life-transforming reality I had skipped over all those previous years in the Program.”— Bill W., alcohol, drug, and food addict
