What a realization that my messed up life had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I grew up homosexual in the hills of Tennessee, with a father that I didn't feel embraced me, with a religion that I didn't feel embraced me.
Leslie J's story is a testament to the power of humor and self-acceptance in the journey to sobriety. This episode of Sober Cast features Leslie, a vibrant personality who left an indelible mark on everyone who heard him speak.
