I genuinely believe that we're all on this earth to help other people. Facing my consequences, no matter what they are, is one of the biggest things that helped me. We need to learn to listen to our heart and what makes us feel good and doesn't feel good.
Tom Fay's journey is nothing short of remarkable. As the owner of Gambit Recovery, Tom has dedicated his life to helping others overcome addiction and find their own path to recovery. With 11 years of sobriety under his belt, Tom's story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support.
He opens up about his struggles with addiction, self-worth, and shame, recounting his experiences of being in and out of detox and treatment centers 22 times over a decade. A turning point came after a serious suicide attempt, leading him to rehab in Mesa, Arizona, where he met a few men who helped him discover purpose and meaning. Drawing courage from their example, Tom made his first real attempt at recovery by joining a sober house.
Recognizing the impact these houses had on his life, he stepped into a house manager position at the first opportunity and began his successful career in aiding others on their recovery journeys. Today, through Gambit Recovery, Tom provides a safe and supportive community for people in recovery. He shares his insights on the importance of facing consequences, listening to one's heart, and leading from a place of authenticity.
Tom's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that helping others can be a path to healing.
