Tom Fay is the founder of Gambit Recovery, a growing network of sober living homes across the U.S., built on structure, integrity, and real human connection. He writes to make sense of the hard stuff—healing, growth, identity—and to remind people they’re not as alone as they think. When he’s not building recovery communities, he’s probably drinking too much coffee, editing his latest essay, or having long talks about purpose with anyone willing to go there.
