Season 2, Episode 3: Tom on Recovered vs Recovery

Tom comes to Get Real on the difference between “Recovered” and being “in Recovery”.  Tom runs a recovery program called Came to Believe Recovery where he goes back to the basics of the big book. He does retreats that participants come and do all twelve steps in only a few days.  He covers the controversy behind alcoholics identifying as “recovered” and where the language difference stems from.Tom goes over the spirituality aspect of the original program, mental health and how it can but doesn’t always coincide with addiction, and claims that people are not born with addiction but it’s rather “coded” into us during development. Come Get Real with us during an episode that dares to question traditional opinions.
