OMG Ozzy Osborne has drank the AA Kool Aid. He says if he has a drink he is dead. He goes to as many AA meetings as he can. I do not think this is his first time in AA and the 12 step cult has failed him miserably. With this man’s money he can afford professional non 12 step help!
Ozzy Osbourne is a regular guy in AA meetings

Ozzy Osbourne refuses to be treated like a celebrity when he attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. NA and AA Daytona Meetings Ormond Beach Area.
The 65-year-old rocker relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse earlier this year after seven years of sobriety, but he is now once again clean and attends as many AA meetings as he can to help him stay on the wagon.
However, Ozzy admits it’s difficult to attend the support group meet-ups because he is recognized by many other recovering addicts.
He said: “I went to one and this guy came up and said, ‘I’ve always wanted to be at a meeting with Ozzy Osbourne.’ So I said to him, ‘Hey, when I’m in this room I’m no better than you, because if we go out and have a drink, we’re f**king both dead, so let’s leave it at that.’ ”
The Black Sabbath star also refuses to take photographs with fellow attendees who happen to be fans because he feels it would inappropriate.
In an interview with NME magazine, Ozzy explained: “If someone asks for a photograph I’ll say no, because I’m not there to do photographs – I’m there to save my f**king life! I feel like an a*****e but if you do one, you’ve got to do 15. It’s not my ego, it’s my life.”
Ozzy’s wife Sharon, 61, was furious when she discovered the extent of his relapse – which included drinking and abusing amphetamines, Ritalin, valium and sleeping pills – and threatened to end their 32-year marriage if he didn’t get clean.
The rock legend, who briefly lived apart from Sharon earlier this year as he battled his demons, says he totally agreed with her drastic ultimatum.
Ozzy – who has three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, with Sharon – said: “I thought I was gonna lose my family at one point. Daytona NA and NA Meetings Port Orange.
“She just said, ‘Look, I’ve got my own thing going on and I can’t deal with you anymore. Get the f**k out, sort yourself out, then we’ll talk.’ I don’t blame her in the slightest.”
Right fucking on for his wife – Sharon. She doesn’t take any shit – not from him – not from anyone. I like that about her. I admire her. She’s strong, talented and determined. I’m with y’all about Ozzie having enough money to get one-on-one non-12step counseling. Boggles the mind. He’s been in AA before. Numerous times. Shows ya’ right there, Ozzie, that AA/NA do NOT work. As for AA, I’d rather bite the heads off bats.
Hi Rainbow! Thanks for stopping by. Really what is Ozzie doing in AA meetings when they could afford the best of non 12 step care? God only knows what he is sharing in the meeting leaving himself vulnerable for people to repeat what he says later.
I like his wife Sharon too. Bit I would of thought that she would have had him get better help. I mean this is not Ozzie’s first rodeo in AA. It obviosly did not work for him in the past.
In an interview with NME magazine, Ozzy explained: “If someone asks for a photograph I’ll say no, because I’m not there to do photographs – I’m there to save my f**king life! I feel like an a*****e but if you do one, you’ve got to do 15. It’s not my ego, it’s my life.”
So much for anonymity and humility at meetings and in recovery in general.
So glad I left that hypocritical bullshit behind me when I shut the door on A.A.
Hi Slash! AA is definately hypocritical. Ozzie acts like he is being humble by not signing autographs but it sounds like he really does not want to be bothered. I still cannot believe a man with his money would expose himself to AA meetings instead of getting private professional non 12 step help.
Yes, but he is only there for alcohol, right?
Exactly what is he doing in AA?
It won’t matter, it’s “Ozzy”.
I must admit I do find the idea of Ozzy praying to a higher power rather amusing. Probably means the end of Black Sabbath’s success.
I think in many ways he is pretty vulnerable. He is so obviously a crispy critter, I think he would lack insight as to what maybe he should not be saying to strangers. But he is probably told to spill his guts, and no doubt this man has some stories to tell.
