Healing Through Straight Talk and Humor

What's so funny about recovery? What is healing and how does it happen? How is humor an essential ingredient in our healing and a natural product of our awakening? How do we come to accept and love ourselves by identifying with others? In his entertaining style, Father Tom talks about healing: the natural process that happens when we allow the Steps of recovery to work in our lives. (9/97)

Relationships And Self Care

How do we learn to care for ourselves and to give appropriate care to others? Father Tom tackles the biggest challenge for many of us in recovery in this informative and engaging talk. He draws on stories from the program, from literature, and from his own experiences to describe how we can begin to develop a relationship with ourselves based on honesty and love. And he shows how the Al-Anon program can help us to build and maintain healthy relationships with others. (10/93)

A Talk On Grief

Many of us experience periods of profound grief. Father Tom sheds light on this charged emotion and offers some useful tools to deal with it. What are the physical manifestations of grief? How can we be present for these uncomfortable feelings? How long should we grieve? What are the stages of grief? He addresses these questions and suggests some reading, some music, and some meditations to help us experience our grief and to move through it. A powerful talk motivated by his own personal experience. (2/95)

God As We Understand God

Talking about God can make some of us a little crazy. And yet, reliance on a "Power greater than ourselves" is the foundation of the Twelve Step recovery programs. Father Tom W. describes how the programs developed a non-dogmatic understanding of a Higher Power, and how this concept can free us from old resentments and self-obsession. He draws on ancient and modern sources to discuss where we can find God; why we pray; how to cooperate with God's grace; and what we can learn from the hermit crab. (7/94)

Spirituality As A Foundation For Recovery

This keynote address of the Spirituality for an Addictive Society conference presents the spirituality of the Twelve Step programs as a powerful force revealed in the experience of recovering people. Father Tom shows how the first three steps help us to get out of our own way so we can let a Higher Power work in our lives. (2/89)

Catholicism: A Second Look For Recovering People

Healing Through Recovery And Change
In his first videotaped public talk, Father Tom reflects on the evolution of Twelve Step recovery programs, drawing parallels between them and other spiritual traditions. What do the Twelve Step programs have in common? What does it mean to "hit bottom" and become willing to change? What are the Steps? How does Grace work through the kinship of common suffering? How have these recovery programs enabled millions of people to find hope from the depths of despair? Intended for an audience of both recovering people and interested friends. 55 minutes (4/93)
