With the passing of Reverend Joseph C. Martin last week, we in the recovery field lost a great man. An article in the Baltimore Sun described a huge, overflow funeral mass for him. He's touched many alcoholics around the globe via his videos, his talks, and the treatment center he founded, Father Martin's Ashley. This is a great loss for us, and a signal to move forward with an attitude of gratitude for those of us who still get to help people recover.
"All I wanted to do was fix a few drunks." -Father Martin

Make sure to check it out and remember his example when we're working with the alcoholics who are struggling to make it.
"I’ll die with a piece of chalk in my hands, talking with a bunch of drunks and addicts." -Father Martin
EVERYONE should check this out.
