Tom's Second Chance: Rediscovering Life After Relapse
Not everybody gets sober and stays sober. So I really admire that in you and I think the listeners will really get a lot out of that backstory you've given them.
Tom’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t a straight path.

He also shares how the COVID-19 pandemic affected recovery meetings and the sense of belonging they provide. Denise M, the host, ensures a safe space for these honest conversations, making this episode a heartfelt exploration of resilience and gratitude. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just looking for an inspiring story, Tom’s journey offers valuable insights and hope.
