I think, as those of us in recovery who really desire to help those who are still struggling, we can offer words of encouragement and guidance.
Ever wondered how a radical youth from the Bronx transforms into a beacon of sobriety? In this episode of 'God Took Me to Las Vegas', host Randy Mortensen sits down with James Noone, a man whose journey is as diverse as it is inspiring. Born and raised in New York, James navigated a world of radical politics and punk rock, only to find himself ensnared by addiction.

James, now celebrating 27 years of sobriety, opens up about his past struggles with alcohol, speed, barbiturates, and even gambling. He talks candidly about the dark humor that helped him cope and the pivotal moments that pushed him towards recovery.
But James doesn't just share his lows; he also highlights the highs—like the support systems he built and the importance of taking action, regardless of one's beliefs. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone seeking a tale of redemption and the power of community. James' unique perspective and storytelling prowess make for an engaging listen that promises both laughter and reflection.
So, if you're looking for a dose of inspiration or just a good story, tune in to hear James Noone's incredible journey.
