YouTube - "Chalk Talk on Alcohol" by Father Joseph C. Martin of Father Martin's Ashley

YouTube - "Chalk Talk on Alcohol" by Father Joseph C. Martin of Father Martin's Ashley:

"Chalk Talk on Alcohol is a three part discussion of the nations' number one public health problem, alcoholism.
Father Martin discusses the things we drink, why we drink them and what happens when someone has the disease of alcoholism. Alcohol is a sedative drug and is addictive. Alcoholism is an addiction to that drug for which there is effective treatment."



Father Martin explains the answer to recovering from drug addiction regardless of the drug of choice, while Dr. Nuckols explains the classification of drugs, what they do and how they effect the user. Personal experiences from people in recovery are interjected throughout.










This film deals with the signs of recovery from alcoholism. Alcoholics can get well, but there are degrees of good health, as well as degrees of sickness. In this film, Father Martin spells out what he feels are the symptoms of ideal sobriety.
