I just couldn't get it right. But, you know, I've got a lot of support around me now. I've got a lot of people back in my life again, you know. And they're people that are willing to back me to the ends of the earth because they know now that, like, you know, I'm clean. And, you know, I want the best for myself.
Leks' story is one of grit, determination, and the power of support systems. Growing up in a chaotic home with a father battling heroin addiction, Leks was no stranger to dysfunction. By age 11, he found solace in the wrong crowd, leading him down a dark path of drug experimentation. At just 14, he developed an ice habit and soon found himself entangled in crime and eventually jail.
But this isn't just a tale of despair; it's one of resilience and redemption. As his father embraced recovery, he brought Leks along to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. These gatherings became a lifeline for Leks, who recently celebrated a significant milestone - one year clean. Now, he's channeling his experiences into his passion for rap music, releasing his debut soundtrack, 'Take One'.
Through his candid conversation with Ron Isherwood, Leks reveals how music has become an emotional outlet and a beacon of hope. This episode of 'The Truth About Addiction' is a raw, unfiltered look at the struggles and triumphs on the road to recovery. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Leks' journey offers a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with resilience, self-compassion, and unwavering support.
