I speak globally, I know you do yeah, at meetings and stuff, and there's a neon sign that everybody, especially these children, need to hear Mm-Hmm, because it's a neon sign for me that kept me from going negative into positive, and that neon sign says resentment, the worst resentment that you can have and the one you feel justified to keep.
Lou Gossett Jr., the acclaimed actor and activist, opens up about his journey through addiction and recovery in this episode of Steppin' Out Radio. Growing up in a diverse neighborhood, Lou was introduced to the allure of smoke and alcohol at a young age. His fascination with the lifestyle of those around him led him down a path of addiction that would shadow his life for years.
Despite receiving a basketball scholarship to NYU and even trying out for the New York Knicks, Lou found himself entangled in addiction as he pursued his Hollywood dreams. From starring in groundbreaking films like 'Roots' and 'Enemy Mine', his career soared, but so did his struggles with addiction. Hitting rock bottom was a turning point for Lou, who then decided to seek help and embark on a journey towards sobriety.
Now an advocate for addiction recovery, Lou shares his story to inspire others, emphasizing the importance of avoiding resentment and seeking support. Tune in to hear Lou Gossett Jr.'s powerful narrative of overcoming adversity and transforming his life.
