You are such an amazing man. I thank you deeply for all your spiritual insight and knowledge of addiction. Father, you are as real as it it gets. ❤ Thank you, Sir.
I first seen his videos 19 months ago in a Detox while getting clean from Alcohol. Brought tears to my eyes because of the sincerity of his words and wisdom. Today I haven't had a drink and I'm Grateful for that. Work full time as an Addiction intake coordinator. Taking my certified addiction counseling certification and today I'm headed to the same Detox that I first heard him speak and my mission is to share my story with other addicts. God is Good
That's wonderful O WhyNot, and exactly How It Works! Continue carrying the message my friend. I had a friend with a few years sober "discover" Father Martin yesterday and pass it on to me. Been a lot of years since I'd listened to him and I'm going back through all his vids now. My disease makes me a slow learner, but a fast forgetter so its time for a review. I love how this circle of recovery just goes round and round
Well done o Whynot that's great I'm 3 years 8 month since falling of the wagon I booked myself into a detox, you've got to keep your guard up every day, avoid places where you can pick up the drug of alcohol, don't let addiction trick you into going near it , I haven't been to AA for some time but I'm going back to a group next Sunday, well done, never let your guard down 👍
My father heard him give his “chalk talk” in the 70’s. So many years later his message became an integral part of my story. God bless and keep you RIP Father Martin!
Father Martin was the cornerstone for me to help others. He put things in a way that even atheist did not get offended. I, not saying I am rushing it, look forward to meeting him in Heaven.
love Jesus and recovery and hit bottom many times and Father Martin has the wisdom of God and has brought me to a better understanding of change of heart and mind and mostly faith.
I love this man moved me when I first meant him in 1992 on the road to recovery from a living hell life changing sitting in a little room listening to him and just crying hit straight to the heart
GOD BLESS MR ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. I CANNOT THANK GOD ENOUGH FOR MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS AND THE EXTRAORDINARY BLESSINGS. IT IS ALL A MIRACLE AND AN INDESCRIBABLE GIFT FROM GOD AND MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS. IT IS ALL FAR BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS. I WILL ABSOLUTELY BREAK DOWN AND CRY WHEN BLESSINGS AND DREAMS COME TRUE. ( I CANNOT THANK GOD ENOUGH FOR MY SOBRIETY) 🙏🎄🎁
Father Martin's teachings are awesome we need more priests like this and clergy to help the alcoholic and addict knowledge is the key to addiction and anything else we suffer from a spiritual malady a compulsive progressive disease that does not forgive who you are or what you are it becomes an obsession in our lives that only God can take from us
I first heard Father Martin speak in my first rehab in the UK in the early 80s he taught me much and helped me understand my Alcoholism. Thank you . Thank god
As a person in recovery AND an addiction counselor, I appreciate this man's contribution to the recovery of others, including myself. His words can still bring tears to my eyes 9 years after first hearing his chalk talks while I was in treatment. Thank you Father Martin and rest knowing your purpose was fulfilled
What a great Man he is.. Thanks Father Martin. 😇.. I have Gratitude.. Sober one day at time.. Your words inspired me 5 yrs ago to put the beer down and Wake up. ✌
Gratitude is vital in recovery I had lost it and ended up picking up that 1st drink now I know when I am being greatful and not being greatful that lesson was learnt
being in recovery and at lots of meeting ive learned so much about myself from this man most of all, i feel his presents when he talks what a gift from God thank you farther Martin
Thank you for posting I first herd father Martin when I was in rehab for the first time over 30 years ago always loved message i very Grateful to be sober all my life I wasn't grateful for nothing or nobody I was full of self pity and blaming everyone but myself that's be to God I am changing slowly one day at a time last night I celebrated 1 yr of sobriety I am so grateful to God AA
"How many hangovers does an alcoholic go through in a lifetime?" Father Martin asked. My response to that is, "Only one! I quickly learned that if I did not stop drinking, I would not get a hangover! Instead it would help develop my disease of alcoholism more quickly and intensely!" Thank God, Father Martin, and AA I was relieved of my alcoholism shortly after I quit drinking 05/31/02. Father Martin is sorely missed and I am so grateful to having been exposed to his videos in my early recovery! His message and humor may have played a role in my surrendering.
I saw this in my treatment yesterday and really like it. Again, the experience of addiction is something that's hard to understand for those who have not been there. I didn't even technically know he was in recovery, but at the same time, I knew he was. Only a recovering addict knows this stuff.
Absolutely fabulous!!! Gratitude is one of the cornerstones to a healthy spiritual life and sober life. I let the world sneak in and slowly tear my gratitude apart and replace it with negativity. Great speech!!!
I do volunteer work in AA been doing it on and off for 40 years. A guy named Daryl accused me of battery via sticking him with a hypodermic needle. I never did hurt him. He lied. I was unjustly arrested after an aa meeting at a club i attend. Daryl has put papers of legal matters in the last few months on 4 people unjustly. He gambles does not take his medicine and then imagines things thatarenot true. Please pray for honesty and the truth to be revealed in this matter. I have never been handcuffed in AA for going to meetings and doing volunteer work. Now i choose not to do volunteer work at that aa club. Please pray on the matter. I saw a public defender today a family counselor and attended 2 meetings because i valje and love being sober. I hope i continue to have hope help other people everday. I am greatful to be sober. I have stage 4 cancer it was cured 4 times. I love my higher power.
You've been attending On and off for 40 years and still not recovered? You are dependent on fellowship. Contact a primary purpose group. They are nothing like these fellowship meetings you've been attending.
Old sponce once said ( was about 3 months sober ) “ Shane you’ve been in the shit now all your life , yup I agree it’s nice and warm but it’s time to come out . Grab the hand of AA it’ll help ya get out . That was over 4.5 years ago god bless that man and my other sponcers , I still get in the shit at times but that’s life on life’s terms , I don’t think I’ll ever have enough grattitude for what God has done / doing for me . Here lays the problem I now at times beat my self up cause I think I’m not giveing enough gratitude, do I show it hell yea some one calls after a sucicide attempt I’ll drop class and travel to the next town , Iv changed my career and gone back to collage to become a special needs assistant for children . But at times I’m still hard on the most precious gift god have given me and that is me , praying for the penny to drop on that one . If my sponce says go out side in the rain and jump up and down I’d thank home for the guidance and go at it right away but the one suggestion I find hardest is not being hard on me , guess bit more horse manure and prayer is needed
"Good times gone, and you missed them What's gone wrong in your system? Things they bounce like a Spaulding What'd you think, did you miss your calling?

I'm an addict and this is my 8th attempt at long term sobriety. I'm documenting my entire process of recovery on youtube from the beginning. I talk about all kinds of stuff I've learned throughout my addiction and in recovery. It might be helpful for anyone wondering if they can get sober/clean too. I'm 5 months in now.

Father Martin changed my life even after his passage. What a wonderful soul
I wasn't getting AA, didn't want it until I heard Father Martin. That's what I'm grateful for.
Just unreal how amazingly simple he makes things.
My father heard him give his “chalk talk” in the 70’s. So many years later his message became an integral part of my story. God bless and keep you RIP Father Martin!
Father Martin was the cornerstone for me to help others. He put things in a way that even atheist did not get offended. I, not saying I am rushing it, look forward to meeting him in Heaven.
I’m from Baldamore, so I hear him.. he saved many lives. And has Baldamore accent.. WORD
I am blessed with 32 years...and Father Martin was instrumental while in treatment for me "getting it" God Bless you and RIP...may I pass it on
Congratulations on 32 years of recovery! Living one day at a time!
42 years now

I attended his presentation of the chalk talk while he was touring in Bangor Maine in 1982. He is a blessing to the recovering.
Thank God for the wonderful message of Father Martin.R.I.P.

Gratitude is one of the cornerstones to a healthy spiritual life and sober life.

Great speech!!!

I love the message
He spoke from total personal experience
Thank you very much.

You've been attending On and off for 40 years and still not recovered? You are dependent on fellowship.

"Good times gone, and you missed them
What's gone wrong in your system?
Things they bounce like a Spaulding
What'd you think, did you miss your calling?
It's so free, this kind of feeling
It's like life, it's so appealing
When you've got so much to say it's called gratitude
And that's right" ~~ beastie boys
We are living in the Days of Grace in terms of alcoholic treatment and recovery.
TY isolation is rough.
Does anyone else here something else plying in the background? Hard to focus with headphones in 😔
Yep - it’s Take Me Out To The Ballgame.

I know even if I've relapsed from time to time I'm way better off now. All due to aa program recovery

I appreciate the man’s talk and he has helped many but I prefer just an ordinary story of recovery..this seems like a lecture
I was lost and lonely - then I started drinking and it didn't fix it.
