    Thank you for this. This man is amazing! I listen to his AA talks. Highly inteligent approach. His teachings on God/Higher Power are so powerful.

    This video sobered me up 5-years ago and I have stayed sober since. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this.
    “Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
    For fellows whom it hurts to think:
    Look into the pewter pot
    To see the world as the world’s not.
    And faith, ’tis pleasant till ’tis past:
    The mischief is that ’twill not last.
    Oh I have been to Ludlow fair
    And left my necktie God knows where,
    And carried half way home, or near,
    Pints and quarts of Ludlow beer:
    Then the world seemed none so bad,
    And I myself a sterling lad;
    And down in lovely muck I’ve lain,
    Happy till I woke again.
    Then I saw the morning sky:
    Heigho, the tale was all a lie;
    The world, it was the old world yet,
    I was I, my things were wet,
    And nothing now remained to do
    But begin the game anew”
    Thank you Tom.

    It should be mandatory to learn this in school. Religion isn't teaching about who you are. It is teaching ideology and persuasive critical decisions. Confusing people to act in extreme measures.

    He really understood addiction and was always happy to take your call at any hour or meet up if u needed to talk. I was 14 in a rehab center back in the 80s when I had to listen to his class as part of our youth treatment program and he and his wife became two of my closest friends. He passed many years ago but I still have all the letters, books and videos he would send and all these years later for this video to pop up on my interest feed is a blessing. I needed to see this video. Not a coincidence. Miss you always Tom .

When I cannot recognize what is good for me and do it, or what is bad for me and not do it, then I am insane." Tom Brady Jr. 41:00 from the lecture what is the problem?
