Len's Journey: From Childhood Trauma to 16 Years Clean
The whole mission is to shed light and give suggestions and say: hey look, this is what we did, this is what I did, this is what my wife did, this is what my kids did, this is what I learned from my sponsor and hopefully that will help that person that you're or yourself that is in need for help.
Picture a young boy, just three years old, struck by a car and left with a speech impediment. This is how Len's story begins. In this gripping episode of 'By All Means Necessary', host Marco Morillo sits down with his first sponsor, Len, who has been clean for an incredible 16 years. Len's early life was marked by relentless bullying due to his speech issues, but he found refuge in sports.
As a high school athlete, he steered clear of alcohol and drugs until a football injury changed everything. Prescribed Vicodin at 18, Len's journey into addiction began, spanning 34 long years and involving a variety of substances. Despite the dark path he walked, Len had a transformative moment during treatment that he attributes to a higher power. His 'God' moment was the turning point that led him to Narcotics Anonymous and the 12-step program.
Today, Len's story is one of resilience and faith, offering hope to anyone grappling with addiction. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and the lessons he learned along the way.
