Tom's Turning Point: A Story of Emotional Rock Bottom and Redemption

The point of AA is to build yourself up and try to become the kind of person who exists in a place where you're grateful and take life as it comes, right, good and bad. Um, and that's really hard and something I struggle with all the time, all the time right.
Tom H.'s story is a raw and honest look at the chaotic journey from addiction to sobriety. At 34, Tom had already faced more than his fair share of life's harsh lessons. He'd been divorced, bankrupt in three countries, and had several run-ins with the law. Yet, despite these glaring red flags, his rock bottom wasn't a dramatic event but an emotional collapse. He was utterly exhausted and knew he needed to change.
In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back', Tom opens up about the pivotal moments that led him to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He discusses how early warning signs were ignored and how his addiction spiraled out of control. The conversation delves into the importance of personal responsibility and the power of building positive habits in recovery. Tom also touches on how addiction affected his relationships and the ongoing battle to maintain sobriety.
His story is a testament to the support and community found within AA, which played a crucial role in his journey towards a healthier life. Despite the hurdles, Tom remains hopeful and grateful for the new path he's on. If you're looking for a candid discussion on the realities of addiction and the transformative power of support networks, Tom's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
