Description

After decades of drinking, failed restarts, and hitting countless rock bottoms, Tom found himself on the edge — alone in a Toronto condo, terrified and ready to end it all. But one small moment — looking into his dog’s eyes — changed everything.

In this raw and honest conversation, we talk about:

  • Surviving suicidal thoughts and choosing life one day at a time

  • Why “never too late” really matters in addiction recovery

  • The unexpected kindness of a first AA Zoom meeting

  • Practical tools to fight overwhelm: “next right thing,” morning check-ins, and self-compassion

If you’re struggling with addiction, self-worth, or feeling like change is impossible — this story will give you hope, practical recovery insights, and proof you’re not alone.
