This speak was recorded in February of 2011 at Back to Basics in Huntsville and is Tom I telling his story.   I am starting something a little different today. A while back an AA member (Kent) reached out to me regarding a collection of recordings by Tom I.   Tom was sober over 65 years at the time of his passing and through the efforts of Kent, Tom's family and others a library of his speaks over the years was collected. Tom has long been a highly regarded speaker in AA, he has quite a story. Starting today and until we run through his library the podcast will be featuring a "Tom Tuesday". It seems appropriate to start with Tom telling his story.   Tom I became sober at the age of 28, attending an AA meeting in a maximum-security prison. He had been sentenced there after he killed two teenagers during a blackout.   While incarcerated, Tom became a passionate and active member of AA. Upon his release he dedicated his life to carrying the message of recovery to other inmates. He was the first former prisoner hired to work within the prison system. His journey eventually took him from prisoner to warden. Tom passed away in 2022 with over 65 years of sobriety.   Support Sober Cast: https://sobercast.com/donate Email: [email protected] Sober Cast has 3200+ episodes available, visit SoberCast.com to access all the episodes where you can easily find topics or specific speakers using tags or search. https://sobercast.com
