I'm a member of the human race, and on a global scale, if I didn't die all these times, and I'm supposed to do anything is to remind people that it's on us we keep.
Tommy Vext, the former lead vocalist for Bad Wolves, has a story that sounds like it's straight out of a movie. In this episode of 'Roll Call with Chappy', Peter Meyerhoff dives deep into Tommy's tumultuous journey from the brink of despair to a life of sobriety and purpose. Imagine being moments away from ending it all, only to be saved by a phone call from someone in need. That's exactly what happened to Tommy.
He was ready to throw himself in front of a train when a young addict reached out for help. That call not only saved Tommy's life but also set him on a path to becoming a beacon of hope for others battling addiction. Growing up as Thomas Cummings in a biracial New York household marred by addiction and mental illness, Tommy faced unimaginable challenges.
The episode sheds light on his traumatic childhood, the violence that haunted his family, and his struggles with mental health. It's a raw and honest conversation that doesn't shy away from the dark moments, including his suicide attempt and time spent in prison. But it's not all doom and gloom. Tommy talks about the transformative power of the 12-step program, the importance of forgiveness and self-love, and how finding purpose has been crucial in his recovery.
He also emphasizes the strength he draws from his support system and the value of sharing personal stories to inspire others. Whether you're grappling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or just looking for a story of resilience and redemption, this episode offers a powerful reminder that even the darkest times can lead to the brightest futures.
