Episode 92 - Tom Farley

About this episode

Tom Farley discusses living in the shadow of his brother Chris Farley and his journey through alcoholism and recovery.

It's gotta be tough to live in the shadow of a famous sibling - your identity always somehow tied up in theirs. It got especially complicated for my next guest, because his famous brother, Chris Farley, died of a drug overdose and then he found himself guarding his brother's legacy through the Chris Farley Foundation - a non-profit dedicated to the prevention of substance abuse - while he was enduring his own struggle with alcoholism at the same time. Despite being surrounded by recovery experts, he came to recovery in his own personal way and is now the director for community outreach for recovery.com - an organization that helps connect patients with a recovery path that is right for them. Won't you please welcome Tom Farley. you can check out recovery.com here... Recovery.com
