#062 | Working With Others | Jim’s Warstory

We hear it all the time. We work on ourselves so that we can give ourselves away. When all else fails, working with others works. Why is that?

In this week’s episode Cameron and Willy get into working with others!
There is a reason that this is the 12th step in the A.A. program. There’s a lot we must do first before we can be sure we have a message to share with others. But on the flipside, without it, we’re often incomplete.

This week’s warstory knows all too well about feeling incomplete. Jim Thomson, A.K.A. “The Enforcer” had a reputation in the NHL for his rough and tough demeanor on the ice. Out of the rink he was living a fast and destructive lifestyle with no signs of stopping. Eventually, the pain of staying the same outweighed the fear of change and he was able to get the help he needed. Hear how he did it and how working with others is his TRUE calling in life.
