Creating life-long

Spiritual Awakening

Came to Believe Recovery provides essential spiritual tools needed to thrive. We strive to create and promote opportunities for life-changing spiritual experiences for individuals and families suffering from all forms of addiction. We share our experience, strength and hope through our own stories of how we ‘came to believe.’

Driven by the original Spiritual principles found in the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, we connect people with the Source of spiritual and physical freedom to discover a new way of living.

With a Powerful

Network

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Came to Believe Recovery. Our recovery programs are volunteer-based and offer people in recovery a way to give back, to strengthen their own recovery, and to support others who are seeking recovery. For more information on volunteering, please contact us!

Hundreds of volunteers make up a powerful network for the spread of our vital message. The Came to Believe Recovery retreats and programs welcome both those addicted AND family members and loved ones. Our volunteer network includes individuals from each of these categories further strengthening, we believe we got sick together and we can get well together. We let people discover how thousands of people have “recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.”

Tom Williams is the CEO of Came to Believe Recovery since 2018. Attending well over 100 retreats made Tom uniquely qualified to lead the movement. While Came to Believe Retreats have been around for decades, this coalition of leaders was essentially a startup, requiring universal branding, training, and materials for all events. Tom is a veteran of the US Army and spent 15 years as a fitness professional. Once RECOVERED, Tom earned an undergraduate degree in business followed by an MBA — graduating with high honors. Tom worked as a recruiter for Centenary University and advanced to become the Director of Business Development. Tom has a passion for running and weight training and his favorite hobby is playing guitar.
