This inspirational Catholic Priest, Father Sam, shares his journey into recovery, at 21 years clean. Although he may sound like a preacher, in this recording he promises to not preach, or teach, but to just tell his ugly story, and expose the disease of addiction, by telling the truth.
Warning!! Father Sam’s story contains graphic descriptions about his experiences in active addiction. He finally found freedom when he found Narcotics Anonymous and was able to admit was is an addict after eight years clean. Please visit our website at naspeakers.org!!

In the process of me listening to this Inspiritual NA Speaker. Has completely change the way I'm thinking. I know GOD dont want me to use no DRUGS, hurt no one or hurt myself. I have the desire to not use DRUGS. I do have the desire to hurt someone. I'm having a problem to learn how to love people. That comes from me not trusting poeple. I know I'm not able to love everyone. I'm not able to trust everyone. All my TRUST is in GOD. I'm going to continue to stay humble. I know I can't get to high. I can't get to low. I stay somewhere in the middle.

Father Sam is real as this affliction gets, love the way he does not sugarcoat his alcoholism. The same alcoholic nature I have produced in this life has brought him down as it has done the same to me.. However, amen whatever goes down must come up, my experience has smashed the idea that I can drink and drug. And for that I'm forever grateful. Thanks Father Sam for springing fourth these thoughts in my mind, by simply sharing your story.

Father Sam came and spent a weekend with us at a recovery house and treatment program I was in ran by Catholics in Salisbury Maryland. He shared his personal story with about a group of eight of us that were in the program before he spoke at a NA meeting where he was a guest speaker. The main counselor there was a good friend of his from Baltimore. His story was so crazy that he had me go get a big butcher knife from the kitchen and I slept with it and my bed with me the whole weekend he was there LOL LOL LOL. I said this old man crazy.

I’m in recovery and attend NA meetings. Baptized Catholic. Jesuit educated. This man should not be a priest nor a speaker on behalf of NA. Healthy people in recovery do not go into this kind of graphic detail about what they use or how they use, or their masochistic sexual proclivities. Too much gory, disturbing, and graphic detail under the guise of “authenticity”. This is someone that is engaging in attention seeking behavior. It isn’t funny or authentic. It’s disgusting. I wouldn’t let this guy anywhere near a child, a church, or a NA hall. Period. NA needs to be accountable. This is not recovery. This is what a predator sounds like and behaves like. Children come to our meetings. I wouldn’t let this guy anywhere near my children or any child for that matter. This is scary. I’m in awe this was posted as a message of heathy recovery. This is a guy getting off on shocking people and getting off on people not knowing what he really is….a manipulator and a predator. Taking the drugs away will not fix someone like this.
