“A Jesuit Priest Walks Through the Promises – Father Tom W.

About This Speaker Tape

"Father Tom W., a Jesuit priest who got sober at 29, walks through the AA Promises with humor and depth. He shares how the Promises terrified him at first — especially losing self-pity, which he considered his best skill. He describes finding a Higher Power not through theology but through a wild Berkeley AA meeting where every kind of person was welcome.

He talks about the slow pace of real recovery, learning to leave family gatherings when uncomfortable, and how his relationship with a Higher Power went from diplomatic distance to something real and messy and alive."
