I Blew a .37 and Woke Up in a Hospital | DUI, Benzos, Cocaine & a Life Rebuilt

Tom grew up in a small Pennsylvania town, raised by a single father after his mother abandoned him and his sister. By 13, he was drinking. By 25, he was blacking out, driving drunk, popping benzos, and working high. After a devastating DUI and a near-death experience, Tom got on a plane to Florida—and never looked back. Now over 14 years sober, he’s a father, a son, a podcast host, and the man who helped his long-lost sister into recovery. This is a powerful story of redemption, family, and what it truly means to “Rise Above.” #addictionrecovery #sobrietyjourney #dui #alcoholism #realrecoverystory #recoverycommunity #mentalhealthawareness #riseabovepodcast #fromaddictiontorecovery #familyhealing #recoverywarrior #hopeandhealing #soberlife Learn more about your ad choices.
