My whole point is that I couldn't take care of myself, let alone anybody else. I'm not going to say I do it perfect every day, but I do ask for his help every day, and I still try to run the show and I'm still a perfectionist. But that doesn't happen as often as it used to, and I'm working the steps for my second time around with my sponsor and I just celebrated Two Years.
Leigh Ann W. had what many would call a 'normal' teenage life until a vicious rumor at age 15 turned her world upside down. In this episode of 'The Recovery Revolution', Leigh Ann opens up about her 12-year battle with addiction, drug abuse, and alcoholism. From smoking pot and drinking to daily ecstasy and cocaine use, her journey spiraled into a dark abyss. She went in and out of rehab nine times, lived in her car, and even attempted suicide.

Now celebrating two years of sobriety, she shares the pivotal moments that led to her spiritual awakening and ultimate recovery. Leigh Ann’s candid reflections offer hope and inspiration to anyone grappling with addiction, showcasing that no matter how dire the circumstances, recovery is always within reach.
This episode is a raw and honest look at the ups and downs of addiction, the importance of seeking help, and finding a spiritual connection that can turn despair into hope.
