One-Legged Willie: A Journey from Despair to Triumph

Not only do you get sober, you get the ability to go through things that only I perceive as amazing heroes and strong people can do.

Meet One-legged Willie, a man who faced unimaginable challenges but emerged stronger and more determined than ever. In this compelling episode of Wehab, Willie opens up about his life, from a tumultuous childhood in London to the fateful motorcycle accident that cost him his leg.
Four years into his sobriety journey, Willie was dealt this harsh blow, but he refused to let it define him. Instead, he leaned into the support of Alcoholics Anonymous and found a renewed sense of purpose. Willie's story isn't just about overcoming physical disability; it's about battling inner demons and finding strength in community and spiritual growth.
