Leroy shares his story of growing up in chaos, falling into addiction, and spending years in jails and prisons before discovering the truth about himself through the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. From overdosing in sixth grade to living under aliases and feeling deep shame about his identity, Leroy’s life was ruled by fear, violence, and spiritual emptiness until a sponsor finally guided him through the Big Book line by line. He speaks openly about relapse, loss, prison, and the moment of grace that pulled him back into sobriety, eventually rebuilding his life through amends, service, and the daily practice of the “four R’s”—remember, repetition, redemption, and rejoice. His journey shows how AA transforms a person from the inside out, turning liabilities into assets and giving him a life of purpose, joy, and freedom he never imagined.
