In this rendition of The Way Out co-host extraordinaire Jason returns and shares a marvelous interview where he reconnects with a very old friend who just celebrated 1 year of sobriety! Jason and Jeff Rogers hadn't seen each other in 25 years until Jason recognized him at a recovery event. Jeff is doing some amazing service work here in Minnesota, where he lives with his beautiful family, and together are building a beautiful life today. His journey to and through recovery to this point is instructive in large part because it shows that we don't have to lose it all in order to achieve a deep and durable recovery. All that is required to make a beginning is to be honest with ourselves and a sincere willingness to make a change when we see what lies in store for us if we don't. One thing that is surely in store for you is this gem of a recovery talk so listen up.

Where's David? Author of Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life and Rebellion Dogs Radio host is our alternative-host as David was in Boston, at the time of recording, as part of several-week-long journey. All will be explained on the show.But the big news is we have Helen Hamilton, "I was always searching for something in my life and for many years I did not know what it was. I always felt very different even as a child and could see energy and auras unlike people around me. I desperately tried to fit in and find peace but it never came." But that was seven books ago. In the gentlest language and the most inviting way, we are introduced to Helen's approach to Satsang, for, "those committed to Self-discovery and who feel a deep urge to find lasting peace and freedom."For more Helen (and why not): https://helenhamilton.org Here's Tom With the Weather is Live on Zoom every Friday Noon Pacific, 3 PM East, 8 PM Ireland/UK, 7 AM Saturday Australia.ZOOM ID: 882 1549 8348Passcode: Tomhttp://htwtw.com/
