Tom C.'s Journey: Unearthing AA's Roots in Akron

I'm in it in a way that I haven't been in a long time, and it's taken hitting bottom in sobriety many times to finally fully, completely surrender Every Day, every morning, every hour, if I have to, and to know at the deepest level that I'm an alcoholic and that there's no cure for that.
Ever wondered about the origins of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode, Don and Sam chat with Tom C., a tour guide at Dr. Bob's historic home in Akron, Ohio. Tom opens up about his personal path to sobriety and the rich history of AA. He dives into the early days of the program, shedding light on the contributions of Dr. Bob and the Oxford Group.
Tom's anecdotes bring a unique perspective on the challenges of maintaining sobriety, especially while traveling, and emphasize the power of surrendering to the program. He also shares how AA literature can be a lifeline, describing it as 'a meeting in your hand'. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Tom's wisdom and experiences offer a blend of inspiration and practical advice.
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that underscores the importance of commitment and community in the quest for sobriety.
