Welcome, my friends, whether you’ve been sober for a day or a lifetime, I truly believe that after hearing from today’s guest, Colm, you’ll leave this episode feeling inspired. I know I will. Let me share a little secret with you. When I was first putting together this podcast, sobriety, now what? Colm was one of the very first people I turned to for advice.
His encouragement and support gave me the confidence to bring this vision to life. That’s why I can’t think of anyone better to join us for this special episode. Colm has come all the way from Ireland to be with us today. Well, all right, technically he made that journey about (correction) – 40 years ago, but he’s here now and that’s what matters.
Let me share with you why his story is so important. Besides being a good storyteller, he has stories within stories, many people early in sobriety find themselves asking in a discouraging way, [00:01:00] sobriety, now what? You’ll find, sobriety isn’t just about stopping the addiction, it’s about discovering the gifts and windows of opportunities that come with a sober life.
Colum’s story is a testament to this, and listening to his story today, you will notice something remarkable. His sober life has been shaped by a series of pivotal one things, single actions that created significant change. The beauty of this is those one things you will hear about him doing He had no idea at the time that these simple actions were opening windows of opportunity for him in ways he could have never imagined.
Because he believed, as you will hear in his story, these things just don’t happen to us guys. The first one thing, and yes you guessed it, was choosing to stop drinking. But as you’ll hear, there are many more one things. Another one of those one things. Let him to meet his [00:02:00] wife and build a beautiful life with their two children who have never known him to drink.
Another one thing happened unknowingly while he was walking his dog in a park. This allowed for another chance encounter that still warms his heart to this day. You will hear that story too. Thanks to his sobriety, Colm now carries joy in his heart everywhere he goes. A constant reminder of how one small decision can transform an entire life.
Colm’s story, as you’ll hear, reminds us that these gifts can come at the most unexpected times. So keep your eyes open. You never know when or where the universe is. May surprise you. He kind of reminds me of Clarence in the movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s an old holiday classic in the States. In the movie, Clarence an angel is sent
down to earth to help George Bailey, a man in despair, who wanted to end it all. God tells Clarence that if he helps George, then [00:03:00] he’ll earn his angel wings. In the movie, you’ll learn that every time a bell rings, an angel Gets their wings just like Clarence in the movie who eventually earned his wings I believe if I got a vote, I’d say Colum has earned his wings many times over.
In today’s episode Listen for those pivotal one thing moments where Colum, when he least expected it, had events that forever Changed his life for the better. I believe that listening to Colum today Well, it could be one of those one things that changes your life. Colum, Colum I’m so glad you’re here. You are much more interesting than I am, so how about I pass this over to you?
