Tom Celebrates 24 Years Sobriety!


 This day, May 20th, marks Tom's 24 years of sobriety!

This day is more special to him than his birthday.

I am so very proud of him
God has given him so very much,
 turned all the bad in his life to all things new.
He runs a halfway treatment home for men in recovery, 
helping 24 men at a time, for 90 days, 
getting them back into life, jobs, AA groups, and 
making the right choices.
It's a hard job with little fruit, 
but he is a gift to all these men.

I love him so much for all he's done with his life, 
and for all he is!

  9. God bless him! That's wonderful. I grew up with an alcoholic stepfather, so I know how hard it can be.

  11. Absolutely beautiful Jamie. Congratulations to you Tom! My mother-in-law has been sober for about 15 years. I am so grateful I've gotten to know the "real" person she is, for her heart is so full of love.

  14. Congratulations to Tom! He is an inspiration to many others.
    (My uncle is certain he'd be dead were it not for a facility like the one Tom runs.) May God continue to bless you, Tom!!

    And congratulations to your family!

  16. Yes, wonderful. I wish I could say the same for my dad. My mom, however, is on her 22nd year sober - though she is very private about it. I am glad to read happy news today. :)
