Tom L - No Longer Running the Show - Meeting 169


Listen Later

At 33, recovery found Tom obese, isolated, and dependent on welfare and disability payments. Deeply unhappy and ashamed of what he had become, he had no idea he was an addict.  Fifteen years later, healthy, employed, married, and living free from life threatening addiction, he was shown that normal living was not enough to keep from returning to insanity, that for him the spiritual life cannot be just a theory. Tom will speak to us today on how he is No Longer Running the Show.

Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.
