Tom H.: Finding Strength in Sobriety After Hitting Emotional Rock Bottom

I really didn't believe anybody was like me in the way I consume drugs and alcohol, but after a few episodes I quickly realized I was an addict, an alcoholic, and that sobriety could bring me some actual happiness.
Tom H. has been through the wringer—divorce, bankruptcy in three countries, and brushes with the law. But what really brought him to his knees was an emotional exhaustion that left him feeling utterly defeated. In this episode of 'Journeys Unplugged', Tom opens up about his tumultuous journey to sobriety and the turning point that made him seek help. Tom's story isn't just about the dramatic lows; it's about the powerful highs of recovery.
He talks candidly about how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) played a crucial role in his journey, offering a community that helped him find his footing. Initially skeptical about the idea of alcoholism as a disease, Tom shares how his perspective changed over time, helping him understand and accept his struggles. Listeners will find inspiration in Tom's reflections on gratitude and purpose.
He speaks about learning to appreciate the small joys in life and the shift in perspective that allowed him to rebuild his life from the ground up. His story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showing that it's possible to find happiness and meaning even after hitting rock bottom. If you're looking for a tale of resilience and redemption, Tom's journey is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and found strength in sobriety.
