This is really good. I'm glad I randomly clicked. Chaired a meeting yesterday. God told me in the morning to dumb myself down and just shut up and stick with the program this time. I drifted away for many years on Marijuana mantainence. It's glorious to be back and have a clean mind and body again.

Wow! Mark, that was amazing! Thank you! I'm 35 yrs old, and after ten yrs on n off dope, and several relapses, I finally got clean on August 15th, 2015! Almost coming to 1 year!! Can't believe it! And I owe much of it to the program n its members! I loved the way u described the disease! Its so right on! At least for me! "My disease has nothing to do w/ dope, but everything to do w/ addiction to the process of failure, sabatoge of success, emotional invisibility, some kind of contemptible attitude towards information I need- but don't want to accept!" Omg! Spot on! The disease is so much deeper than the surface of drugs/alcohol! Thanks again! Am excited for when I have the opportunity to give back! To share my story n insight into recovery! We Can & Do Recover!!!; God Bless!

[@TopBeatz00]

I remember the 1st time I heard Mark share at a Mens meeting in East Palo Alto as a newcomer. My automatic thought was why is this guy telling jokes about addiction because my addiction (self centered), is SERIOUS. Had no clue he was a professional comedian. I was angry because I thought he was making light of the disease but everyone in the room showed love and was laughing... everyone but me. But instead of leaving I continued to stay, and I continued to listen and much like this share he recorded I realized and heard the message of hope and the promise of freedom. He is an amazing man, an even better talent and Im grateful he made it ok to get and remain clean. 🙏 David Marquez

I was chosen out of all the addicts @ the methadone clinic where I was a patient @. Listening 2 ur comedy segment made me believe maybe just maybe one day I could laugh out loud about my road 2 recovery. 3 months later my Higher Power who I choose 2 say is my God brought me from drinking Methadone after 12 yrs 2 picking up my 1st key tag. That night that I met u I was given an award since then I've been giving LIFE! NOW 5 yrs later I'm free from the grip of addiction & it's still a pleasure 2 say you are a part of my story. Keep making addicts like me LAUGH OUT LOUD! 5 yrs later "1st Thought WRONG!" I THOUGHT u were Mark Lundholm but ur Mark L. It took me 5 yrs 2 realize that. Lol Thanks Mark
