Tommy’s Story…

The Beginning of the End … at age 18 … Tommy seems to have a bright future ahead of him..

* All-State High School Athlete – Captain – Ranked in “Top 100 H.S. Baseball Recruits in America.” Collegiate Full Scholarship Athlete – S.E.C. – Louisiana then Ole Miss – career ends with elbow injury – Substance Abuse takes over – full time – eventually fails out of college.

* Entrepreneur – Small Business Start-up – Substance Abuse eventually over powers Tommy. All is lost… 1st “Spirit” then “Self” then “Business”.

* Tommy enters 1st Detox & then Re-Hab. Treatment works 100% but Tommy doesn’t follow Recovery Plan. He tries to do it on his own. Goes back to work. Then Relapses within 80 days & gets fired.

* Tommy enters 2nd Re-Hab. It works…. But This time he listens: seeks a Private Recovery Coach & Mentor, follows His suggestions & begins a “Recovery Lifestyle” building self-esteem, self-trust, self-worth, confidence & positive character traits. His “Spirit” is re-ignited & alive once again.

1st Year of  a New  “Recovery LifeStyle”

Tommy continues Practicing His Mentors Principles & Disciplines in all His affairs

Playing Basketball & Baseball again, becoming a Substitute Teacher & Coach while going back to school at night to finish College.

* Undergraduate Degree – Business Mgmt./Psychology- Completed

* Coach – High School Baseball – 1st season, winningest record in the school’s history. Tommy naturally begins to Privately Mentor several teenagers on His team who are abusing Drugs & Alcohol. Unbeknownst to Tommy, their parents begin to write letters to the schools Board of Education to tell them “how their Sons’ lives have turned around…”. At the end of the season, they give copies of the letters to Tommy. He is shocked. Realizing it must be His calling, He pursues the best Training & Employment opportunity available to build a Professional career in “The Recovery Field.”

2nd – 5th Years of  “The Recovery Lifestyle”

Professional Career in The Recovery Field

* Substance Use Disorder Counselor – Residential Addictions Treatment Center – Tommy gets lucky & lands his 1st Professional Training Experience with a Recovery Co. that is introducing a New Model to the state & the country. It is the first of its kind & has a huge contract with the Government. The Company has recruited the most respected Recovery & Correctional Professionals in the nation as its Staff.

* Graduate Work – NYU – Pursues Master’s Degree at night in NYC – Psychotherapy/ Business Mgmt

* Shift Supervisor – Promoted after 10 months to Mgmt. Personally Mentored by 5 Masters of Recovery

* Supervisor of Operations – Promoted to Head Supervisor, Trainer & Disciplinarian to 20 Staff & 152 Residents.

Tommy coaches several hundred Clients on How to Create, Live, Enjoy…then Maintain…a successful Life in Recovery.

Then, after 4 years, Tommy realizes there is no more growth at the company nor in the Recovery Field. He has topped out both in mgmt. & compensation levels. He realizes this experience has created great value for Him but He is not maximizing His true Income potential. He pursues a new corporate career on Wall St. in Business & Finance but instead is lead to the 1st “Internet Service Provider” (ISP) just before the “dotcom” era emerges. Tommy’s Corporate Business career is about to take off.
