-
Our Common Solution - #4
In this talk we consider the vital Decision of Step Three and what exactly it means. A self-driven, self-sufficient, self-reliant life does not work for alcoholics. What is the alternative?
-
Our Common Solution #3
being Power-less, we begin the process of getting this Power. It is not about getting holy or religious, nor is it bout getting to Heaven or saving one's soul. Thôis program is about finding a Power - and it has to a power greater than our own power. We hear from others (who have no reason to...
-
Our Common Solution #2
This begins the Spiritual path of the Twelve Step Recovery journey. Being clear about the Problem, having admitted powerlessness in recovering from it, we are asked to set to one side our previous understandings and begin an open-minded experiment.

Del Mar Talks - Step Eleven
In this and Step Twelve the speaker reports how it is sometime quite difficult to stay in harmony with a Power Greater than himself. But if he persists, his life will take on a new meaning. And, after all, is not that what the journey is all about.

DelMar Talks - Step Ten
At this point on the path the man has ceased fighting anyone or anything, even alcohol. He found that sanity has returned - as promised in Step Two. His freedom from addiction's insanity had come about without his having to focus on it. By remedying the Spiritual Malady all sorts of unexpected...

DelMar Talks - Steps 7 & 8
In which this alcoholic discovers what is meant by Humility and begins to realize that anything in his character or behavior that separates him from others, needs to be discovered. he then becomes willing to make amends for anything he has done.

Del Mar Talks - Steps 6 & 7

Scary idea that turned out to be such a relief - allowing a fresh start for the "rest of his life".
-
Del Mar Talks - Step Four
he discovered that this step was not at all like confession of "sins", but more like getting obstacles out of his way.

Del Mar Talks - Step Three
This man's understanding of what this step was a bout was so far off the mark - it took some atheists to set him straight.

It came as a surprise to this man that atheists were sometimes better able to arrive here than he - in spite of his background.

Delmar 2010 - Step One
A very personal look at how the recovery process began for one man.
