Tom B. AA speaker

Tom B. takes the stage in this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his journey through alcoholism and recovery with raw honesty and a dash of humour. From the very start, Tom's self-deprecating wit and candid reflections pull you in. He talks about the grace that has kept him sober since July 20th, 1965, and how the AA program has been a cornerstone in his life.

Tom doesn't shy away from the tough parts – he opens up about his obsessive-compulsive tendencies, the isolation he felt, and the spiritual sickness that plagued him. But it's not all gloom; Tom’s anecdotes about his childhood, complete with quirky characters like 'Mr. Potato Head' and 'the mighty midget', offer moments of levity and warmth. He also highlights the importance of community in AA, sharing touching stories about his 'brothers' in the program who have supported him unconditionally.

Tom’s narrative is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. His story is not just about battling addiction but about finding a deeper connection with oneself and others. If you’re looking for a mix of humour, raw emotion, and invaluable life lessons, this episode is a must-listen.
