Tom Farley on Recovery: Embracing Authenticity and Advocacy

When you speak to the labor shortage, I find it frustrating because in one respect I'm like little help, little help here, but then in another respect, I'm like you're making twice as much and doing it from your couch and your underwear.
Ever wondered how the older brother of the late Chris Farley has turned his life around? In this episode of RECOVERY CAST, Pawley and Michele sit down with Tom Farley, who shares his compelling journey from addiction to recovery. Now a Community Relations Coordinator for Rosecrance Health Network, Tom offers a candid look into his personal battles and triumphs. He talks about the importance of being genuine and rigorously honest in recovery, a lesson he learned the hard way.
'I realized I was living a life that wasn't truly mine,' Tom says, reflecting on his past struggles. His story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new purpose through community advocacy and helping others on their path to sobriety. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that dives into the challenges of addiction treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact on families, and the vital role of community support.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the power of authentic living, Tom's insights will resonate deeply. Tune in for an inspiring tale of resilience and commitment.
