Tim spends the first 45 minutes of this episode sharing his story then the two have a great conversation, bringing home many points Tim brings up in his story of sobriety in 12 step recovery.
Listen for these key points:
🔥 Hard times are not happing TO you, they are happening FOR you
🔥 Nothing will change in your life unless you change it
🔥 The essential keys to sobriety: humility & willingness
🔥 How hope (Hold On Pain Ends) is the most powerful belief when seeking to get sober
🔥 No matter how lonely you feel, you are never alone

🔥 Every difficult moment is an opportunity for growth
🔥 Happiness comes from within, and you (along with your Higher Power) have the power to create joy in your life no matter your circumstance
