Thom’s Nutshell:
“Recipe for peace of mind:
KNOW what you believe.
KNOW what is important.
KNOW what is within your control.
LIVE congruently with what you believe.”
Thom and Patrick discuss “the upside of addiction” (as a means of climbing out of it), emotional sobriety and relationship struggles, using during therapy, and approaching addiction as a binary choice between life and death.
