Light Into Dark Places - Keith L 1992

My “Light Into Dark Places” series is to pay tribute to the speakers who carried light into my very, very dark years. Many don't resonate with me today, which is fine. I don't need them today like I did 13 years ago. In gratitude, I want to share their stories with you. 

Tradition Study - Tradition Twelve - OA Principle of Spirituality

We finished! It only took us 3 years and 8 months, but we did it!

Tradition 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) states, "Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities."

The original tradition study speaker workshop was no longer available, so we listened to Peggy M's talk on Tradition 12, which we all enjoyed.

Light Into Dark Places - Blanche M (1986)

My “Light Into Dark Places” series is to pay tribute to the speakers who carried light into my very dark years. Many don't resonate with me today, but that is not the case here. I absolutely love Blanche. She was part of the first generation of Al-Anon members and, in her words, "we were the blind leading the blind".

Blanche was not officially Fr Tom's Al-Anon sponsor in title, but she was in practice. If you're ever listening to a Fr Tom Al-Anon workshop, you're listening to her legacy.

Deep Dive w Sabrina - Finding Belonging

I loved this conversation with Sabrina and I’m very happy to share it. It’s definitely part of my Deep Dive series, where the conversation dives into deeper, darker waters because that’s our story. 

We need to share our “causes and conditions” and “Capital T trauma” stories. If we don’t, we can feel like we’re more fucked up than our fellows and recovery won’t happen for us because we’re irreparably damaged.

Ours is a disease of isolation that operates like a perpetrator and the first thing a perpetrator needs to do is get you alone. My hope is this series will let you know you are most definitely not alone.
