I Relapsed After 17 Years Sober - AA Speaker - Tom P. - Plano, TX

Tom came to Alcoholics Anonymous at twenty-three, but it took a painful relapse years later for him to finally understand the real solution described in the Big Book. Tom P. from Primary Purpose Group, Dallas, TX speaking at The Legacy Group in Plano, TX - July 14, 2007 Visit our merch and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Tom shares a powerful and honest story about coming to Alcoholics Anonymous at twenty-three after years of heavy drinking that began in childhood and spiraled into chaos by his early twenties. Although he stayed sober for many years through meetings and fellowship, he eventually discovered that he had never truly understood the real problem described in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. After relapsing following seventeen years of sobriety, Tom found himself desperate and convinced he might die from alcoholism. It was only when he was introduced to the program of recovery as outlined directly in the Big Book that things began to change. By understanding the mental obsession, the physical allergy, and the need for a spiritual solution through the Twelve Steps, Tom finally experienced the transformation he had been searching for. Today he carries the message that real recovery comes not just from meetings or fellowship, but from working the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and helping other alcoholics find the same freedom.
