<p>PAIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Founder Flindt Andersen and Media Director Jason LaChance sit down with Thomas McCollum for a fact-based discussion around addiction, recovery, harm-reduction, and the addiction crisis. </p><p><br />Thomas McCollum is a passionate advocate for recovery, a punk rock enthusiast, and the Executive Director of Discovery Place, a 12-step spiritual retreat for men in Burns, TN. </p><p><br />With over nine years of experience in the recovery field, Thomas brings a unique perspective, having walked a similar path. Before dedicating his life to helping others, he spent twenty years in active addiction, eventually becoming an IV heroin user. After finding sobriety at Discovery Place nine and a half years ago, Thomas has built a fulfilling life as a husband, father, and community leader. He is grateful for the opportunity to share his experiences and support others on their journeys to recovery. </p><p><br />👉 Learn more about Parents &amp; Addicts In Need (PAIN), follow us on social media, listen to more episodes, get involved, or donate: <a href="https://linktr.ee/painnonprofit" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://linktr.ee/painnonprofit</a> </p><p><br />For more on OpiAID: ⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://opiaid.ai" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://opiaid.ai</a>⁠⁠⁠ or call Dino Miliotis 910-777-4915 </p><p><br />For more on New Perceptions North: ⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.newperceptionsnorth.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.newperceptionsnorth.com</a> </p><p><br />For more on Discovery Place:<a href=" https://discoveryplace.info" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://discoveryplace.info</a></p>
