Keep coming tu
I used to listen to him last year on lost nights when I couldn't make it back from my relapse. He kept my hope alive and now with almost 2 months back continues to do so. I love this man's talks and thank you Lord for Father Martin
That’s so great, John. Please keep coming back.
God bless Fr Martin
Great job.
How goes it, John?
@@jeremyc2445 I'm still doing good thank you
I met Father Martin in 1988 and visited his Treatment center several times later, carrying the message he taught me...Thank You Father Martin...this May will be 33 years, god willing ODAAT
I was a grateful guest of Father Martin Ashley! What a phenomenal man. Listening to him tonight was just the injection I needed!
This priest's message is timeless. And priceless
By God's grace and a loving Father, I have been sober now since 1987, and several of my family members have many years of sobriety too. Celebrating 35 years of contented sobriety. Ever grateful for all of the old-timers that came before me, and carried the message to me for free.
God bless you 🙏🏼
Thank God for Fr Martin kept me Sober 30 yrs one day at a time
I saw Father Martin's "Chalk Talks" way back in the late '70s at the VA Hospital. I later had the pleasure of meeting him at an early AA Convention also back in the late 70s. Happy to say, I'm sober today due to these early sober drunks and priests. Sober since 4-20-1984. One day at a time.
Absolutely brilliant! Nearly 10 years sober and what a fellowship to be part of 🙏🏼
I’m grateful to have been exposed to this man. He is very logical and wise in his approach. Blessed be God for illuminating him to help us
Thank you GOD for AA ❤
The only speaker we watched in the rehabs I went to were really old and on VHS . Father Martin was the only one I stayed awake watching . He’s so good !
we must've been at the same place
Wisdom from the ages here, a transformational learning experience, wow I am about to watch this again.
Thank you so much. I was very fortunate to hear father martin speak in pennsylvania in the 1990's. It changed my life for some time. Again. Much appreciated.
What a wonderful, inspiring talk! Thank you for sharing. Also, can't help wondering who else cried during the Irish blessing 😊
I did.I'm Irish,alcoholic and Sober thank God!!
I still listen to his same video teachings 10 years into my recovery. So grateful!
This is the utmost best way I have ever heard the 12 steps simplified into a workable real life application.! ❤️ absolutely brilliant. ❤️
I love to listen to these steps from father martin . Your the best
1st man that indrduced me to the steps in the greatest way!
He was awesome! Thank You Father Martin💖🆙
Thank God for father Martin and his talks I started listening to him in my 30yr I am now 35 yrs sober the content is helping me get thru some difficult things
Father Martin is a powerful speaker truly speaking from his soul everytime I listen to one of his talks I can feel his spiritual message.
Such a blessing, makes me feel good too :)
When he says the prayer of a drunk is a prayer of the soul in pain I balled my eyes out. I'm struggling so bad with alcohol. I just don't wanna quit. I had 2 years sober and I'm so ashamed of myself.
You know the doors are always open
Please keep going. Reach out! It's ego ...I know the embarrassment..and feeling judged. After 2 and half years I too wandered off into old patterns running the show. There's no way you can get sober while drinking and the dependence on booze is an nightmare. An every ending cycle of blotting out looking for that fleeting feeling of ease. Doesn't really work at all. You know this is a progressive illness. Booze will let you down. Bless you. Your not a loser your sick!
Keep going back
On your feet Brian!
Isaiah 40.31 but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like the Eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Brian, please go to a meeting. Find an old timer and ask for help. They understand. I had an elderly man sober for 30 years take me by the hand and take me through the steps. It was a beginning. He then put my hand in the hand of a woman who took me through them again. She put me in the CENTER of a circle of sober alcoholics who kept me busy as hell!! 2 years passed by quickly and then I met another lady who took me through the steps a third time. By then my mind had cleared, my heart & mind were open and I was willing to acknowledge the exact nature of my wrongs. I've kept sober since September 28,2009. Seems like yesterday & a lifetime ago at the same time. Go back if you haven't already....
It doesn't take brains, it takes desire!
I love that Martin talks not of the alcoholic but of himself which is the alcoholic
Always sorts me out and sets me on the Righteous Path
I love you Father Martin, your message of AA truly lives on. Amen
”It's impossible to stay sober without gratitude.” facts
then end of this made me cry but I'm so grateful I found this and actually listened properly
Father Martin was a Saint.
People don’t become saints until AFTER they die. So, no, he wasn’t, but he is now.
@@J-ur2ei I stand corrected lol.
Wonderful Man who has worked with many of us. Still sober. It works if we work it. Plug in Jug 24 years by Gods Grace..
In the early 70’s Fr. Martin came to Boston and spoke at an AA anniversary which I attended. I am a non-alcoholic, in the Al-Anon program. This man has explained the 12 Steps to alcoholics and to non-alcoholics in a most loving and merciful way. One thing I distinctly remember was him saying, “When approaching a sleeping alcoholic, he will wake up, sit up and throw up.” My sanity was saved by my A-Anon program although my marriage was destroyed. I live the 12 Steps as best I can, but don’t expect to work it perfectly.
Hello my alanon sister.
Father Martin still carries the AA message and steps all 12 God bless this Father who was sent to teach us if we want it Chicago IL
Loved his Tape i will be 36years Sober on 15th January God bless AA Always 🙏🙏🇬🇧
Omg this was so beautiful. It brought me to tears. AA has saved my life thru it's efforts in inspiring NA by laying the blue print about what works.
You seriously cried watching this? I mean it's really interesting don't get me wrong and I'm a recovering addict that has been involved in Alcoholics Anonymous for some years but goddamn, it made you cry? I feel like you're lying.
10th step that shit bro ffs
Extraordinary speaker, much respect for this man!
thank for your help Father Martin and bless GOd
Father martin and the recovered alcoholics are forever in my heart
Just wonderful, I love him and I love the 12 steps, sobriety & finding God is the best thing on earth 🌈💖🙏
This takes me clearly back to the beginning of my sobriety w
hen i first met and listened to Father Martin. I love him and I love AA.
Jan Webster you let him? Wow that’s awesome. I love father Martin deeply.
Love in universal eternal existence is more advanced.
Thanks be to God for this marvelous man. God thank you for AA and Al-Anon
Yup, truly a life of miracles with-in them 12 step program's. From 1976 - today has been a wild ride. If your drinking your self to death and want to stop, please make the call for help. Good sponsors are hard to find at times, but don't you give up! The recovery miracle is still happening each and every day all around the world in A.A.. Today maybe your recovery miracle day. I'm reminded, that ones own recovery is only 12 steps away.
Forever grateful for them drunks that came before us and showing the way, to a new life!
Do as they did and we get what they got, one alcoholic helping another one day at a time.
Great speaker that truly loved A.A.
Thanks for sharing!
AEI Automation Group that’s billshit talk 12 steps are not treatments for substance abuse . This is 2020 . Science base programs . Are here and medicine . This is an old ideology religious cult . No one is powerless .
I want to thank you very much for bringing this video. I really appreciate
Miracles love my life in recovery willingness, courage to change faith to move mountains thanks, Father Martin.
So thankful for these videos I use them daily to continue to educate my self.
When I don’t hear voices but all I hear is me. Then hearing voices is no longer my problem.
If I only had this good man as my sponsor, I'd probably be helping other suffering alcoholic by now,
Truully amazing 👌👌👌👌!
Awesome man...this is the way to teach!!..simple..clear..POWERFULL !
Great talk. Thanks for sharing. (Sorry to see that it also brought out some cray-crays).
This is the complete bases of how A/A CAN help the alcoholic that still suffers.aug2022.
Well said Sr god bless
I was blessed to see Father Martin in person.
I thought that when he said "now I would like to do something even more impossible" 42:50 that he was going to put on the ring of power and disappear like Bilbo did at his 111th birthday
I believe I met him in treatment at Warwick Manor in Maryland in 1983. That whole year was a blur but pretty sure he visited regularly.
he is a awesome man. learned so much from him....
i so love his wisdom thank you father martin
Love this and how he explains it. Its so true
Father Martin and Joe & Charlie !!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FATHER MARTIN.
I enjoy listening to this talk and I also enjoy Chuck c
Love you Father Marin... (Eternally) Rest in Peace. Met you several times In Washington DC ( Georgetown area) back in 1983-1984
Good,very good....
22 years clean and sober, both in, and out of AA, the most important thing I've learned, Is that alcoholism is not a disease, it is an addiction like any other. The 'disease model' has been in part responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths "Keep coming back" (until you can't), and the direct financing of a multi billion dollar 'recovery' industry. They just want to see you again, and again, and again.
This is about Nathan and Alex
Absolutely fabulousness hope. Must continue. Work steps. Love you all. And present. When many r. Not
He is an excellent teacher
Inspirational ❤
Reading some comments that may not agree with you is alright. It is showing others that the message of hope may need to be presented in a slightly different way. Who or what Father Martin may have been is not his message to the world. So, wasting thought on attempting to figure that all out is proof to you that you continue to miss the point of what this is all about. His message is what is the point.
The addict likes to 'Split Hairs' in order to manipulate and get his/her way.
@@jameswright5547 that's interesting. What constitutes splitting hairs for you? Is it splitting hairs that I believe the speaker made several circular reasoning errors and thoroughly misinterpreted the use of a couple steps (a clue, #5 in particular)
Im a fan. Ive talked to those who met him and they speak well of him
God continued to take inventory and when god was wrong god promptly admitted it.

Thank U that is good stuff.👍
This man is a genius
Call AA whatever you want. IT WORKS.
A really good friend of mine put it in simple words why an addict/alcoholic uses "It Works". So, what you have stated, is a perfect example of why a person should use AA. Because it works. If the alcohol works use AA because it works. I love it!
@TrollingAndBowling I've been to hundreds of groups and I never heard any of them say AA is the only way...howd u get clean tho?
You can never tell the writer of Myfanwy in Heaven that he can’t requite Myfanwy. IF HE TRULY WANTS TO.
🎗️ THERE IS A GOING HOME FROM TREATMENT VIDEO , FATHER MARTIN ♥️
Thank you Framingham Freddie in LW Fla. Thank you
RIP FATHER MARTIN
🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌
WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT...AMEN
35:24 made me cry

Gods not mad he’s patient
Sadly missed father Martin 🙏🙏🙏
One day at time 🤗😇😃
I only find few talks of pastor martin can anyone give me his whole talks recording s
Still struggling and I live in the same state that father Martin lived in It is extremely likely say
Even people that drink say a few pints of beer in the evening can have an effect on your motivation it's not just the blackout drunk that affects his life through booze. AA I think recognises it and helps people that are what some might consider functional. My take is if you drink enough for you to blow say, 08, it's enough to affect more than your driving in the short and long term.
❣💯
Amen!!
"The disease is not immoral, the actions as a result is immoral"
According to Bill Wilson the Insanity is when an alcoholic is sober and decides to pick up the first drink knowing full well everything bad that will happen
Wow❤️❤️❤️
would like a copy of this video for use in recovery
Deo Gratias 🙏
At 4:45 to 6:00 minutes, he explains what step 1 really is.
Really wishing. Have a class in high-school. All my. Friends started very young 13even
Thank God I made it here love the message
It ruined precious moments people I love. More than life. Itself.
OK I was liqrd up. I smoked a friend's ass. Dancing round a fireworks show and omg started rolling round yelling pulling hair thinking. I lost my friend butt. I see
I wasn't after you r wallet. Dummy if u. See me. Married men kinda touchy dumb we playing. That console games. Was bad idea maybe.
Let's see your idea. 🎄 tree. Ps. Still love you.
I Need help‼️ But he helps make it easier to just ask for help💙💙
Taking the steps of AA seriously is why I am an atheist. AA worked for me as I assume any self help group works for anyone. 22 plus years of sobriety without a belief in any god. I could never be arrogant enough to believe that the universe was created with me in mind and that there was a god on my side while that same god ignored the holocaust or the 20000 children under the age of 5 that die every day of the year through no fault of their own.
I try an be humble with a attitude of gradatude, understanding that I dont understand all things ,its ok, so much good stuff in AA
