Father Tom W. - Family Recovery Speaker - Sharing his story of Recovery

Father Tom is one of the best Al Anon speakers I have ever heard, he is very thought-provoking and extremely insightful. He always has a charming and beautiful way of relating the program of recovery to the audience. I always get something out of his shares and his story and it carries a powerful message. Mainly, "Let go and let God." Enjoy! :)
Al-Anon / Alateen, known as Al-Anon Family Groups, is an international "fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems."They "help families of alcoholics by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic."

"After a while I began to wonder why I was not as happy as I ought to be, since the one thing I had been yearning for all my married life [Bill's sobriety] had come to pass. Then one Sunday, Bill asked me if I was ready to go to the meeting with him. To my own astonishment as well as his, I burst forth with "Damn your old meetings!" and threw a shoe as hard as I could.
This surprising display of temper over nothing pulled me up short and made me start to analyze my own attitudes. ... My life's purpose of sobering up Bill, which had made me feel desperately needed, had vanished. ... I decided to strive for my own spiritual growth. I used the same principles as he did to learn how to change my attitudes. ... We began to learn that ... the partner of the alcoholic also needed to live by a spiritual program." - "Lois's Story" in How Al-Anon Works

First priest that I ever heard that was present,honest and real. Don't know you but I do. You are part of my inner circle. The truth tellers, the keepers of the light and the darkness. Being able to share and be vulnerable. How brave you are to shed your collar of protection. Your are a luminous worthy sacred being of love. How cool are you. xo
