I don't think it is important for John to watch the below clip as it is mostly a Big Book Session.

John, The text you see below is my edit. So the next step is, or rather our revision request for you is to take the text below and use this revision of the text (if you find it helpful), and rewrite it so there is no mention of the Big Book Of Alcoholics Anonymous - It is just focused on just Ask And It Is Given for the PURPOSE OF A THOUGHT ADDICTIONS OFFER for Ask And It Is Given like how Scott describes it in some of the videos above.
And we are not expecting you to do this tonight, John. But you might want to just start reviewing some of the videos above on this page, possibly tonight if you find you have some time? And if you can send us that revision over the weekend? - That would actually be great! Anyways, this is our revision request for you, so let us know what you can commit to, as to what you feel would be enjoyable for you with this project? Scott and I feel we are ready to start sliding into creating what will lead to our paid offer soon with the Thought Addictions, and this revision creation is a step towards it.

THIS IS OUR PROCESS.

All our sessions are held via Zoom, and only via Zoom.  That means you need to have a computer or a smart phone with zoom installed, and access to the internet.  Of course Zoom is free to use, and you already know that you can get free internet in lots of places, but the first thing is, you have to have Zoom.

Everything we do in conjunction with All Addictions Anonymous is 100% free of charge.  20 years of recovery has taught us that Step 12, helping another addict recover free of any charge is the most important thing for your own recovery. 

So, just to be clear, we don’t do this type of work for charity, and we don’t do this to be of service to you.  We do this to be of service to ourselves, because helping you cements our own recovery.

Because of that, we only do this during our non-working hours, because like everyone, we have to make a living.  Currently there are only 2 of us at AAA working with addicts on their recovery, Scott and Sameena. 

So while everything we do here is free, you have to do it on our schedule.  We set aside specific hours to do this work, and those are the only hours we are available.  We love this work, and we dearly hope that as some of you take this journey with us, you will love it too, and want to cement your own recovery by helping other addicts as we do. 

As more and more people do this, more and more times will become available on the calendar.
The work we do together is to deeply study two texts. 

The first text is the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous (BB), and the second  book is called Ask And It Is Given (AAIIG) by Esther and Jerry Hicks, encompasses the Teachings of Abraham Hicks . 

It is the studying of these texts that will help you put yourself in a healthy state of mind, and resolve those underlining issues or problems, which some of us may choose to use the term, 'addiction' - Be it primary or a secondary 'addiction'.

Before I start explaining what happens on the calls, or sessions, let me tell you why we use these particular books.
​
The Big Book was first written in 1938 by the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, and has had a total of 4 editions.  In the days before there were groups, and 12 step meetings, there was only the Big Book.  Addicts as they were referred to as, mostly alcoholics back that period, would recover by following the 12 steps as described in the Big Book.  Meetings were never required back, in fact meetings did not exist back in that era.  The Big Book was actually all that was required as a powerful tool for recovery.

Ask And It Is Given was written by Esther and Jerry Hicks and is is based on, one of the terms that is commonly used to describe the modalities that is applied in this text is 'The Law of Attraction'.

Ask And It Is Given It is a gentle and unique process that guides you to see a different perspective with how to put yourself in a mental state that allows you to improve, and to attract the changes you want in life. 

Having said all that, now we can describe what the sessions or calls look like

OUR PROCESS

On the Zoom calls, we will read, dissect, analyze and think deeply about every word in the books that we study.
Over 20 years of recovery has taught me that everyone needs to start in a certain, same place before we can start adapting things for the unique individual.

If you work with me, Scott, I will take you through two parts of the Big Book, The Doctor’s Opinion and Bill’s Story.

If you work with Sameena, she will take you through the four Forwards, giving you the context and the history of the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous).  Each edition had a new forward, so the fourth edition, which is what is available now, has four forwards.  Again these represent the history of the BB, and the beginnings of 12 step recovery. And Sameena is the right person to take you through specifically these sections of the Big Book. It has been our experience in going more in depth with these sections of the Big Book to be impactful and very meaningful. 

Which of us you work with will probably depend largely upon your schedule, and your preference based on the text you read above about what this is and how we go about it.

Our most recommended path is for you to read and analyze the history with Sameena, then do The Doctor’s Opinion and Bill’s Story with Scott.

Once you have worked through the two chapters with Scott, we will begin to tailor your road to recovery more towards your unique concerns and problems.  You may decide to continue with the Big Book process, OR

You may decide to start going through Ask And It Is Given literature, OR
 
You may do both at the same time, as many people have.  But you have to have the basis of the history and the first two chapters before that can happen.

The methodology we are using used to be referred to as “booking” by the old timers of AA, because you end up marking up the book quite a bit.  We have found this very effective both with the BB and AAIIG.

We use six different highlighter colors to do the analysis.  You will learn the methodology on your first call.  Or, you can go to the bottom of this page and opt in to the Membership Site.  This is free aswell, and you can read all about our Colour Coding system.  More on the Membership Site later.

We highlight words and phrases in the book with different colors depending on their purpose, bringing the book alive! -  One color for promises, another color for suggestions, and yet another for prayers.

All Addictions Anonymous does not require that you admit to your particular addiction.  We work with people that have substance addictions like alcohol, cocaine and crack, heroin, etc. 

We also work with people that have what we think of as thought addictions like worry, negativity, co-dependency, people pleasing etc.  Some people do not think of these latter issues as addictions, but we have had a great deal of success helping people recover from them by treating them like addictions. ​

As you are viewing these clips, John, pay close attention to the time stamps of any portions of the clips that you would like us to extract to support you in telling the story and a combination of words and video clips  - So you pick those clips - and I believe my Introduction video below simplifies it for you of how you can go about doing this, so you don't get overwhelmed with the content in these videos and have that be the reason for you not being able to deliver a sold first draft.

We want the end result of this writing to be STORY BASED WRITING THAT INTEGRATES THE VIDEOS THAT HITS THE HEART. (And again, John, don't let this all overwhelm you, watch my introduction video first as it says how to go about with this writing, so you can deliver a solid first draft.

This clip (#12) - Starts with - in your writing, it should answer the following question - look out for this - "What happens to me if I get on the call?"
- Talks more about the offer
Approx. 3 minutes and 45 seconds into the video, Scott gets into talking about the membership site - which completes the offer, and as it is mentioned in the video, they have an option .... Talked about in this video clip.

We sponsor people by taking them (one-on-one over zoom) through some of the most potent sections of the Big Book of AA and “Ask And It Is Given” by Abraham Hicks customized for their unique views on spirituality and addiction.

You only need to listen to the below clip (#10) starting at approximately the 3 minute mark here where it goes into Scott talking.

The mind of the 'addict' doubts themselves in their mind - questioning everything. They can't trust themselves and therefore, they don't know who to trust - so they turn to their 'drug', whether it's to alcohol, substances, or a secondary addiction like, co-dependency, worry, negativity, etc because in their world it is the only thing they can probably trust, giving them a 'high' or an escape from their mind - probably the only thing they know to do to in some cases barely survive.

- This process is not about relying on or becoming dependent on your sponsor, it is about coming to terms at your own pace and in your own time with putting dependency upon God as you understand god to be for you for your recovery.

- This is not about being of service, and we are not a charity, nothing is owed in this kind of spiritual work.

- Suggest start with watching the second and third video on this page first as they go into talking about the writing related to the offer and what should primarily got on the AAA homepage.

- The AAA homepage should primarily talk about the process - how it works - what is the experience like working with us and what we are offering specifically - which we narrowed it down to 2 things that is 12-step work and therefore free - the two only things - The Big Book sessions and 'Ask And It Is Given' sessions.
No selling needed here - we want to write in the spirit of a story - what is the experience like and we need to clearly explain what the process looks like, including what will happen if they book a call, etc. - What is the value? This is what is missing.
-Describe the process of doing it together - What happens exactly, i.e. we start the Big Book with going through the Forwards - and Sameena takes them through the forwards - And Scott takes the through the Doctor's Opinion - What is the value going through the Doctor's Opinion? - What is the experience like?
- What is the experience like going through Bill's Story in the Big Book?

The video Scott is talking about in the below clip is the video right above this one, where I talk about my Worry addiction ....

The below videos explain, John why you need to do the long form version of our AAA story as to what we are offering to people and how our process works, etc.

- Gave me no choice
- Try to scare me
- knocking on my door

Start listening at the 42:25 minute mark to about 51:03 minute mark of the below video as it addresses the point about their intention of why they gave the 24 - Hour Notice with those two never seen before check boxes, which is to instill fear in the tenants, so they will move out sooner and then they will be able to charge more money for rent ... This is the primary point we missed in the previous email to QuadReal - so now is the time to emphasize it, so it can also be that I am 'standing up for other tenants' - so it doesn't see like it is all about me ...

We Will go over the final video below together on our zoom call, John. We will listen to this video together on the call and I will further elaborate if needed. 

1. "the cheque I gave you for May’s rent which you still have not returned to me" When this email was sent with this exact wording does not see to have a date in the close to 50 pages we sent, and I think it was the second email sent to Dennis. 'My May rent cheque continues being held, even though there is no intention of cashing it.'   'My May rent cheque continues being held, even though there is no intention of cashing it. ' -Said at least 3 times in the 2 emails sent out in the beginning - not dated

​June 2nd - ''having my check that has still not yet been returned'' (4th time, and ignored)

​June 12 - in an email to Kerri - ''having my check that has still not yet been returned''

June 17 - Response back from Kerri - First time someone has given a response to my cheque not being returned after it beg ignored numerous times - 'Regarding your cheque for May, I have been told that it was wrapped up in the letter that was given to you on May 5th, requesting that you replace your business cheque with a personal cheque.' - Of which my response was that there was no cheque wrapped in the letter of May 5th, Scott also witnessed it - there was no cheque when I opened the envelop, and therefore, Sharaka lied, and I offered to also take a lie detector test like a few times and I asked that Sharaka take a lie detector too as till date this was not acknowledged and was ignored

June 17th - My response back to Kerri's email- "I obviously never received my check back so I will be going to my bank next week to put a stop payment on it next week.  I would be happy to take a lie detector test on this fact with my request that the person at Quadreal who claims to have returned my check agrees to doing the same.  I’m sure that person will not agree to a lie detector test because that person knows that she lied." (went ignored again)

June 26th first email where Patricia responded to the issue of my my cheque not being returned - "we have been advised that the cheque was wrapped up in the letter that was given to you on May 5th' - Still ignored I offered to take a lie detector test and I asked Sharaka to do the same. if the cheque was returned to me as they are claiming it was, then why didn't they just say that in the beginning after I asked numerous times previously?

​August 4th  last email written from Scott - " that there was no returned cheque in that envelope. 

Furthermore, as a reminder, Ms. Fernandes has offered to take a lie detector test on this matter just to further prove to you that there was no returned cheque in the envelope" (offered to take a lie detector test was again ignored to prove that Sharaka had lied was ignored yet again).

01/  In This edited version, is where FAQS Start (around the 45 minute mark) - But important to go through the whole video, as there is real gold and helps with understanding with what we are building with AAA.

Note: the ending of the below clip may seem like it cut off, but that was my edit - It should have ended with Scott saying 'but it's not possible', so after that (where it cuts off) it is not applicable. 

And suggestion: maybe one of the FAQs here can be 'What do we get out of it?' 'Why are All services provided through AAA are Free?' - and I believe one of the valid answers is in this video that is applicable to AAA as a whole?

09/ John, I decided to include my short Big Book (Session) I had with Scott yesterday (as you see clip below) - I chose to put it in this category just for your reference. But I am not sure if there is any relevant FAQS to extract from this clip or if it is a priority to watch it for the task you are focused on right now, but I decided to put it in here anyway as it is pretty short and (maybe) you will get creative with it? But i don't think it is absolutely significant to watch this clip tonight in relation to the priority task (writing) you are focused on for this purpose depending how much time and energy you have tonight? So it is up to you if you would still like to watch this clip or skim through it to see if there is anything relevant and worthwhile to take out of it?
