My name is Mack, and I'm an alcoholic. And anyone reading this, is the first to hear me admit it.

4 days sober and I like the clarity and mostly calmness. Went driving for errands and suddenly, I had the old thought, "I'm relaxed, it's Friday, I could go pick up a pint". Yet, Immediately after that I realized how much better I feel, plus, the sense of accomplishment. So...I drove on home. I know it's only been 4 days. Each day I hold onto the fragility of what I'm doing.

Mike alcoholic/addict. I’m on day 75. Found something in my apartment that was a tool from when I was using. I freaked out. Heart went into my throat. I immediately washed off the remains and threw it away. Went to go to a meeting and it had been cancelled and the app now updated. So on my drive home I’m out Alcoholics Anonymous into my you tube and found this. It worked. This will get me to my 7am meeting. Thankyou AA and this beautiful fellowship of drunks. I’d be lost without you.

I am struggling. After 35 years of being in and out of AA, never getting a year of sobriety, I finally managed to get 15 months - then picked up again in November 2018. I've been in the insanity since then. Thank you to all in recovery, it does give me hope. God bless you.xxx

Today is my 17th day without alcohol.
Thank you for the video. I shed a few tears. Very powerful.

I met Tony H. (Silence of the Lambs) at my first World Convention in San Diego in '95. I have kept things simple, one day at a time and today celebrate 11, 073 days.

I took the plunge 3 days ago. It is hell but will be worth it! Please pray for me! I hope the anxiety, shakes, headaches and feeling like my heart is going to explode will stop soon!

I was 39 when i got sober after 23 years of battling my alcoholism and in 2 months it will be 2 years. I had a similar spiritual experience like Anthony and hadnt had the urge to drink since. It was a miracle that i have embraced and will not take for granted. I feel i have somewhat of a connection with Anthony Hopkins since we have alot in common so thanks James for posting this.

I'm an alcoholic. I want to go to AA. Thank you Sober James. I'm on my way.

I'm coming up on 10 months, but I almost relapsed today. All I can say is there is a God.

Anthony Hopkins gave up drinking when he was 38. My great uncle also gave up drinking when he was 38. His brother, my grandfather, who I never met, was also an alcoholic and died of liver cirrhosis when he was 49. My great uncle is still alive and completely healthy. That is the magnitude of the decision to continue drinking. If you have a problem, be real with yourself and do something about it now before it's too late - you never know how much time you have left to decide.

I have adored and looked up to Anthony Hopkins for decades. He just surpassed how much I already respected him, and that is quite an accomplishment. Thank you!

[antoinettenovella]

I love Tony Hopkins even more after this. He is a phenomenal actor. Thank you for sharing James.

3 months sober for me brother I'm loving it. My wife and kids love seeing me sober. You're an inspiration 👍🏻

Thanks for encouraging people away from drunkenness towards sobriety. I'm from a family of alcoholics and I've been saved and sober for 39 years in a row, since I was converted to Christianity in the old Steuben County Jail, back in '81 at 30 years of age. After 3 years probation in the county probation department, 90 A.A. meetings in 90 days, and some drug and alcohol counseling with a great recovering alcoholic professional counselor, my probation ended in '85. I've stayed saved and sober for 39 years in a row now without a singular relapse in this entire time, miraculously. I've been blessed with actually alot of moral support from quite a cross section of this nation, and pray that you'll all be blessed in return. Thanks for sharing this great Anthony Hopkins testimony. He has a great testimony and delivers this testimony with such eloquence, great humor, humorous witticism, and creative inspirational style.
