[@susan9427-l]

I listen to this over and over again and always learn something new.

[@patriciakennedyinc2460]

Simple. Thank you. Grateful for the speakers. When I need them, I listen. thank you for always being available. Whether you think you’re sound mind or not, you’re insight. Your experience, your hope helps me.

[@livvydays8545]

Been listening to these for years. Listening for the 100th time is just as good as the first. God knows we have to laugh between the tears.

[@susan9427-l]

i try to saturate my brain in this stuff!

[@cmekistauff]

The wisdom spoken here is incredible - I feel like I've just gone to 1100 Al-Anon meetings!

[@tracy85777]

Father Tom E. You are such a blessing to me and I can't describe how much it helps to listen to you in the middle of the night because I have such a hard time sleeping ...at night. I was married to a verbally abusive man for 34years. My father was an alcoholic. I never even knew what it was until I got involved with yet another, crazier alcoholic yet again. After a year and a half of a roller coaster ride that was wonderful sometimes but always painful. Waiting for the other shoe to fall and all that. And it recently did. I'm devastated. Numb but in so much AGONY. I AM SO SICK. THERE ARE NO MEETINGS NEAR ME! Now, I know there are a lot of alcoholics around town, so what's up?! People are nuts and there's nowhere to take these wounds that are clearly bleeding but nobody can see them. I used to think I was a bum magnet. Now I know I'm an alcoholic magnet. Please pray for me people! Pray for him, I know he's suicidal when he's " out there". And pray for my grown children who are sick and don't know it. And even my grandkids.

[@heytombanjo6195]

They have telephone meetings if you search on Al Anon web page. Also, I learned a lot about patterns from John Bradshaw and Lisa Romano as far as ACoA. When I read the laundry list from that fellowship, it blew my mind.

[@DK-sr2wi]

Praying now 🙏

[@tracy85777]

@@DK-sr2wi WOW I didn't imagine this still being out there except on my playlist. But thank you so much. God knows that I need prayer as we all do. If you'd please pray for the man I got involved with in 2017, I didn't know he was an alcoholic or an addict and he's lost in addiction and homeless in Colorado of all places. He nearly didn't make it through last winter. Ya know I should have read my post first because I probably mentioned him. Anyway God bless you and yours. Times are incredibly CRAZY and I find it difficult to be by myself. Jesus is always close. Just not a warm body anywhere! Sounds ridiculous when I type it out. I don't think I was ever meant to walk this road solo. God knows best. I did try alanon a couple of times. I just didn't fit in. I never really have but I expected to there. It was folks there because of their addicted children. And of course they all knew each other from a long time. Sorry I'm typing Way too much as usual! Ugh! 🕊️🔥🙏

[@DK-sr2wi]

@@tracy85777 pretty amazing Tracy I didn't even know if you would see my response I went through a personal battle with addiction alcohol and drug addiction and mental health now coming up on 10 years sober no psych wards and now I work in treatment helping other people I just got off my shift and I'm home with my family I have a 5 and a seven year old boy and I'm married in South Florida 🎉

[@pinksparkle1965love]

Thank Father Tom👍👍😂You always ground me Love this reminder of not letting all these grown kids not drive me crazy🙃😆

[@meself6312]

Been in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous for almost four years now and the changes are amazing. I would not trade it for the world. Sobriety is the best

[@napalmpdx-ow6ep]

I've heard this talk many times and I've listened less times but it never fails to enrich my life and my connection to others. I sure do love your HP, Father Tom!

[@karinlarsen2608]

When there's trouble in a relationship, I turn to these Al-Anon speaker meetings on KZbin. I always end up wishing the person I'm having trouble with had gotten into Al-Anon at least a year ago. Thank you for keeping me focused on my recovery

[@brittammann7958]

Love this!!

[@angelag2662]

Some people are just born to speak! Beautiful thank you so much!!

[@ben86jones82]

[@sailorgabbie]

I'm just finding these talks now and I really relate to them.

[@Gracie110]

Thank God for AlAnon and Fr. Tom

[@adelacortes958]

So lucky to have found you. THANK YOU!

[@BonnieHelms-m4b]

This is so true and so darn powerful. 😢. Sad but true. I finally learned this at 69.

[@susan9427-l]

never too late.

[@AMBELLINA77]

Worth the time to listen.

[@tguthrie1121]

Alcoholism IS A Blessing! Thank God for the programs of AA and AlAnon that are teaching me to be a real human being.

[@brittanybaldwinvlogs9663]

No it’s not it IS a curse. Especially on anyone unlucky enough to be around one

[@livvydays8545]

Grateful for alanon

[@susan9427-l]

Love is not control love is wanting well for others.❤

[@valeriemiller1286]

I laughed and almost cried. This is amazing !!!

[@kathy8628]

Divine love is radiating over you and me because of your honesty and exposure of your heart and soul. I am in pain and I am searching for answers. You let me know that I AM NOT ALONE. You ARE Christ FOR ME TONIGHT. THANK YOU

[@familiaandradeherederodelr2320]

That's how the holy spirit works

[@masonundercover9391]

My husband is in treatment for the however many times, and I have learned so much just listening! Our entire family is sick, our children, my husband, and my husband- but I cannot help but begin to see this differently, I believe I am the sickest of them all. B/c he (husband) is so sick, I love him so much, and I have obsessed over him so much. I have to wonder if I have had some play in putting some of these messes into motion. Oh how thankful I am for you!!!

[@masonundercover9391]

[@susan9427-l]

[@kayligo]

1:02:00 So much truth and wisdom. We are not God. Avoid playing God, judging, knowing, punishing.

[@babbaruff1045]

The Journey by Mary Oliver had such an impact on me 💪💪💪

[@Michelle.Dorchester]

Fr Tom sounds a lot like me. My spouse hasn’t drank in years. We live on a small island where there is no meetings. I did attend meeting in states. It just dawned on me today that listening to these videos. It might help my craziness. It did. Love this priest

[@heytombanjo6195]

You can access telephone meetings if you have access to phone and al anon web site

Seriously. I was teaching at USF and the Chair of the Dept was a full-blown alcoholic. Very impossible. Love the crack about the Archbishop. LOL

Wish I could find a group in South Texas.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

Oh. I wish you can too. During this pandemic I go to stepchat - you may find it satisfying?

[@anonymous-rh1et]

How come the Florida crowd is not laughing when you are doing the rabbinical part and God created blah blah blah and then you slip in avocados? I'm dying here😂

[@KellyHo163]

I prayed. But I am skeptical if it is true. Why no news in CNN, CCTV, ABC, BCC...and all major medias? Why why why? No news value? or just to create hatred?

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

Because, it's just not understood that it's a disease. We are powerless over disease.♥️
