  • Karl M. is another one of my favorite AA speakers of all time! He has an energetic and humorous approach to telling his story and I am always laughing and smiling while listening to him.
    He shares about the insanity of his active alcoholism (including a story of drinking on antabuse!) and also recounts the process of how he found recovery and how the men he was surrounded by in those initial days of convalescence helped save his life. Also, he shares about the absolute necessity of helping others and how it is what makes the program so beautiful and truly wonderful. Tons of great recovery material in this talk, way too many examples to list in this brief summation. This is an AWESOME speaker tape! Must listen! Enjoy :)

      Not sure if you missed it but our lives may improve however if we want to stay off the sauce we must work with others. Its all in the book....

    I laughed and cried to the complete end of this share.
    People who can share their thoughts, experiences, and disparate moments, like that of Earl Hightower and Tom Brady, are gems in this program. You all remind me truly what's important in life......and I thank you Karl !

    Got to watch him tonight NYE on a zoom meeting 300+ people in this meeting. I was supposed to go to another meeting tonight but something was going wrong with the zoom call. I went into a 24/7 zoom AA meeting. And I watched and listened. Amazing story teller. So far Karl M and Mark H are my favorites. Love RUclips AA stories . Gives me strength

    Even in a different area I have had a start on sobriety in Eaton and the pressure from one of the things of all of us go through the struggles of life we can always do better than the day before just staying in today 😮.

      Please find a sponsor and work the steps. This program is designed specifically to help us. Please.please... start working the steps. Get a 12/12 read step one and two. I trust you will pick a sponsor before reaching the third step prayer which should be done with your sponsor as well as step four. Good luck.blesdings🙏 the world needs more clear minded souls. ❤️🙏
