Rest easy, Mark and thank you for service, message and dedication. To anyone who reads this, I wish your grace and strength in your journey, peace and blessings.
Ive been in a dark depressed state. Heading to my parents home an hr from me i knew i needed to listen to some sanity on my drive. This popped up so i figured this tslk was what God wanted me to hear. Lo and behold this talk was exactly what i needed! Grateful for this talk for channel 😊
We always get dislikes on the Mark videos.. how someone can dislike this is beyond me... Thank you so much Mark! You helped me more than you'll ever know (or maybe you do know now :)!
We get spiritualy attacked; character assassinated when we do the big book, and speak the big book. People like to drag people back wether they “work the steps” or not. There’s working the steps, then there’s working the steps in the book. 2 totally different concepts. That’s why the success rates or dire; that’s not my opinion that’s what the archives say.
Odomtology 12-Step Recovery Media Ego. People have already made up their mind to dislike, as people don’t like his message. I love his message ❤️🙏. Look for the similarities people.
Because a lot of people in recovery are under the impression that they were not anonymous while drinking drugging etc...why should they be when they are well? And if a member of AA in the hospital are the nurses going to know Big Joe from the Welcome Group or Jimmy the chin from New Hope? It is all personal preference and the reason for anonymity in the beginning was because there were so few who had recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind that when the word got out that there was help the first few would be inundated with inquiries and pleas for help that they would not be able to do their actual professions,
This is Church. No Liturgy, all truth and experience. Just self emptying. If you decide to give this a thumbs down, 👎, you have not lived your life into these truths. The most important contribution to spirituality in the Western culture is RIGHT HERE. It would be best to listen, not judge.
I found Mark's tape on RUclips by accident. I didn't know he had gone to our heavenly meeting I believe he is still helping alcoholics, he has certainly helped me. God bless Mark 🙏
These recordings of Mark H have changed the way I view God and the 12step way of living. Thank you Odomtology!! God really used Mark to help addicts and alcoholics. RIP and thank you Mark. See you on the other side.
Wow his talk is incredible! I love this part. “I finally woke up to this fact one day, that these people that I was upset with or making judgments about we're not acting that way out of choice. They, like me, were being driven. And they could do it no different. And here I am getting upset at them, and the reason I am upset at them was 2 fold. 1. Is, I thought they could act differently, but 2. the only reason I wanted them to act differently was I needed something from them. And I woke up to that.”
@@kyletingey9996 Do it. It wasn't my plan but over 2 years ago I began working a program of action (AA) and I've been sober since. 100% would be dead or killed myself without it.
I honestly don't understand how this has 89 disliskes!,,....?..... either you disliking are truly not alcoholic n just lost or u are much much sicker than the rest of us. Thank you mark .. u and Joe have had a profound effect on me... without an amazing person like you with such incredible leadership love devotion and understanding....so many of us would be without hope.. I am beyond grateful for your service and I would hope others struggling can understand and see your message the way I do... every time u speak..I laugh..I cry and I gain some hope that one of these days I will get it right n let go and get better... u always give me hope and shame on those who dislike .... mark is one of the brightest most profound AA members I've even heard speak and I feel bad for those who don't see the amazing brilliant mind he had n all he contributed to us...he was n always will be a great great man.. I wish I could have met him in person...he truly understands what it is to be alcoholic n how the program works ❤
Some are resistant. They have no choice except in the stupid group of 89 dislikes. Yet I've known others and 12 steps they never dealt with. Duality. 😒 humphh. Bob
Didnt even look until I saw you first sentence makes me cringe that people dislike it and I think your right they ate either very blind to their root problem or not a real alcoholic
This message of stillness has been screaming at me forever, especially over the past few days. I understand. I'll do that fourth step. I'm not afraid. I love you God.
I found out yesterday that Mark H is my Great Grand Sponser from the fellowship of the spirit sponsorship chain through HOW in Rockford IL. 💙🙏 2 1/2 years sober today.
Mark's message is amazing! I can listen to his share every day. Brand new 24 hours, turn pause ask cease! What an education we get in AA for free!!!!! Love you sister's and brother's!❤️
Sick of living with my thoughts and actions I need help beyond people I need God's guidance. And to have a monthly intention sheet is Priceless Priceless. I cantcdo for me but God can. This man is remarkable
Mark H has changed my life. I was crushed when I found out he passed years ago... Peter M, a sponsee of his is another life changing speaker in AA. ❤️❤️❤️
Stephenie Berger Peter M. has been doing his Step series in Miami Dade & Broward area of Florida Sept 2020. Seeing him tonight at Coral Room Coral Gables
Mark H amazing him and Dave F on fellowship of the spirit the talks in the whole 12 steps great experience shares sadly missed lucky to have spoken to those who worked with him god bless
Oh whay a non sensationalised brilliant message.he certainly liveed his recovery and it showed, I am sorry to hear he has left us on earth, with his diamond thought. ♥️
Yes, this is absolutely a wonderful share - stunningly insightful with depth and wisdom. A wise-man knows that there is always one more step to climb on the ladder of recovery. Thank you for uploading. :)
incredible agent of spiritual principles in manifestation. So excited about my recovery!! Mark Houston and Tyla C have been God's spearheads in revitalizing my spiritual growth and for that I am truly grateful!!!!
I swear the voice of God could be recorded and uploaded and somebody would hit the "dislike" over there to the right. It's none of my business. I always want to defend this way of life to skeptics and non believers because I love debating people.
One gets there when they get there. My prayer and hope is that we all get there. The depths and weight of the book, the program must be progressive, just as the illness I suffer from does. I suffer from a 3 fold illness, so the malady must be treated regularly- or else... These days, there's so many opinions in the rooms, and it saddens me. This is a fatal illness with fatal progression, so I must progress spiritually. A new experience is the only way that can take place. That, for me, means the practices and disciplines must continue to strengthen. "Being inexperienced, and having just made conscious contact with God, it is not probable we are going to be inspired at all times." It's about the 24 hours ahead, most don't get that. I didn't for a good while. I used to be like I've been sober for years. How can I still be inexperienced? It's about just starting my day and making conscious contact today in the morning, I have no experience for each day.
In my journey I couldn’t read the first 164. Instead I re-read Walden while I was severely on a pink cloud... sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do before you go all in.
The big book is not a secret. It’s there for everybody everybody who takes a moment to just ask or look. Many of us are involved in big book work that we may not say it explicitly at meetings, but we are actively working at it with our sponsors. Don’t assume that just because you don’t hear about it from us directly that we are not aware and are not working on it.
We are not a glum lot. The same happens when Eckhart Tolle speaks. And Alan Watts. And Ran Dass. John Cleese sums it up well by noting there is a difference between Seriousness and Solemnity. Solemn is like Catholic mass. Being serious does not mean an inability or unwillingness to laugh. Look up rule #62. 😅
If you hate then how can you love keep it as simple as we can .at least mark and others can have a laugh even if its at themselves .rather said i no exactly there is a time for laughing .but think what you have just said my friend you cant control who laughs .are you playing god .
Rest easy, Mark and thank you for service, message and dedication. To anyone who reads this, I wish your grace and strength in your journey, peace and blessings.
He has been one of my best teachers! He is sorely missed.
And to you. We stand shoulder to shoulder. Recovery unity service 🙏🙏🏽

Mark is definitely still helping alcoholics. He is god working within us all. See you on the other side my man. You speak my language.
Revolutionary to my experience with God. My life is no longer my business. Thank you Mark. Thank you God.
My ex husband is an alcoholic. I am praying so hard for him to find recovery. This could change his whole life. My girls need a healthy dad.

Prayer changes things! 🙏🏼💙‼️
I hope ur husband is doing okay and u and ur kids have the man u need and deserve x
Surrender and getting tired of being a tornado rolling through the lives of our friends & family is necessary

How did you go, mate? Did you end up doing that 4th? Don’t answer if you don’t want to. No expectation. Just wondered.
Magnificent speak. Grateful to be safe & sober
A message that will be relevant even in 100 years..RIP Mark H...a visionary
I’ve been in program for over twenty years. This is spot on. Btw, I cringe hearing people laugh, either they don’t get it or they’re nervous.
Now I understand why he was abd and is a legend. Thank God for AA and people like Mark H.
Brilliant.God driven..Speaking loud and clear through that Hollow Bone…Love Love…
I've learned so much from him. RIP.

Haha , that is hilarious, cannot unhear that now, imagine Trevor getting sober

It's not in the book. It's a prayer from other spiritual literature.
