Chalk Talk on Alcohol is a three part discussion of the nations’ number one public health problem, alcoholism. Father Martin discusses the things we drink, why we drink them and what happens when someone has the disease of alcoholism. Alcohol is a sedative drug and is addictive. Alcoholism is an addiction to that drug for which there is effective treatment.

“Once the liquor dries… what remains of the man?”

* If anyone dares to criticize the Twelve Step Program (like I do), they are sure to be viciously maligned (as you have done) or ridiculed (as you have done) and, in some cases, portrayed as nothing short of a cold-blooded murderer (for discouraging people from attending meetings and thus contributing to their “relapse”).
I feel honored to have met Father Martin and to have been a patient at his facility in Havre de Grace, MD. His charismatic way of teaching was amazing and made that part of my recovery process a real pleasure. God Bless you Father Martin!
No mystery,self medicating for what could be numerous underlying reasons/disorders intellectuals talk all kinds of crap until it’s them in the depths of that hell,Intellectualizing for a practicing alcoholic it’s plain lethal.I love all the theories / denial. it’s what happens to YOU & people you touch…PERIOD ! FACT: its the addiction that constantly convinces your self “not me – I’m fine” FACT” “alcoholics are the last to know” & more importantly Liquor is ONLY 1 symptom of the problem.
I hope you are better now and thanks for the honesty. NOW, sober up, man up, deal with it and live.
maaaaaan
i feel ya, going cold turkey right now. my biggest problem was blacking out not remembering what I do or say and oftentimes waking up w/ bruises and broken furniture from losing my balance
my alcoholism comes from my OCD
ik’m on the end of a 4 day bender, i feel really sick… i’m out of vodka. i called the cops then other night, i don’t even remember that, and i called AA and they came and talked to me… i blacked out several times…
My opinion differs. I think that alcoholism is a response to some negative emotions and is a result of a neurotic personality. I actually think that conditions such as obsessive compulsive disorder , depression and eating disorders are very closely related. It’s a maladaptive mechanism that’s a response to subcontious fear. No body actually wants to be an adict so stop judging people that suffer from this illness!

Kkrnbrcht, good comment.
I would add that we have put ourselves through hell and through the GREAT 12 and 12 program of AA and the help of God/Allah/Dios we have dragged ourselves out of hell! My sobriety journey is 24 years, loving it one day at a time.
Blessings to you.
Hey, wingnut used to be my name too!

Keepin it simple, odat.
Nothing better than the 12 and 12!!!!!!!!!
God Bless Bill and Bob
and God bless you!
Spacestate. So sorry you are so ill natured. How’s it working for you?
What if i dont drive?
Did you know that people that go to church are trying to escape hell, they are religious!!
People that are in AA and become spiritual, have put themselves through hell, there is a big difference! I have experienced the journey of being sober for 25 years, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Tautological extraordinaire! –What a legacy Father Joseph C. Martin has in this regard — worthy of the highest commendations!
Or NOT. Ha ha, what a clown.
Father Joseph C. Martin is an alcoholic
Today by the Grace of God, I am now sober 19 years.Thank God for AA!!!
