Rehab 4 Addiction

This is a special blog article for the team at Rehab 4 Addiction.

Many of our team members largely owe their long-term recovery to 12-step meetings run by either Alcoholics’ Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

The 12-step framework is the duct tape that holds both AA and NA together.

However,  the 12-steps is a vast simplification of the thousands upon thousands of words of wisdom that emanate from members of both AA and NA.

Below, we have included our top 50 AA speeches – including the full recordings!

These speeches span over a fifty-year period.

The below compilation took our team hundreds of hours to compile, and we hope this list of recordings will serve as a genuinely useful resource for those in recovery or those seeking recovery alike.

We suggest you bookmark this resource because it may take you hundreds of hours to listen to each of these recordings.

We would also appreciate it if you could share this compilation on social media or link to this list from your own website.  Doing so will help others access this life-saving resource.

And don’t forget to purchase the latest AA book titled Twelve Secular Steps: An Addiction Recovery Guide.

Without further ado, here are our top 50 AA speeches of all time:
