The AA Big Book that you hear in free streaming audio on 5 disk CD Audio Recording. click here
Father Martin began his road to recovery in 1958 at The Guest House, which was founded and operated by Austin Ripley. While, drinking himself, Austin Ripley came across a copy of the Saturday Evening Post and discovered an article featuring Alcoholics Anonymous. The article described how this new five year old organization, was having success helping alcoholics get and stay sober. It also talked about their “Big Book”
which had only been in print for 1 year. As a result of this article, Austin Ripley began his journey of recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous.
During a year's period of time, Austin Ripley spent as much time as he could with the founders of A. A.; Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith. He gained valuable knowledge and information about them and the program they founded.
Father Martin met Austin Ripley on the first day of his stay at The Guest House. He also was introduced to a Dr. Walter Green, himself a recovering alcoholic. Dr. Green was the first to talk about the intellect and the emotion and how drugs and alcohol cause the emotions to over-rule the intellect.
Father deeply admired Austin Ripley and was so impressed with Dr. Green's lectures, that he saved his notes and 14 years later would use them to give his famous “Chalk Talks”. These lectures have been heard by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Father has always given credit to both men for teaching him everything he knows about Alcoholism.
There have been many advances in the field of alcoholism and drug addictions. However, there is one thing that has remained the same and that is the original message of Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith given to Father Martin from Austin Ripley.
Today, the disease of addiction should be treated with a multi-faceted approach. One of these approaches should always be the “Truth” which gives the alcoholic and addict hope. This is the message that Father Martin delivers in his recovery materials.
