Still Standing with Leroy

Описание: 🎙️ Still Standing Podcast – Leroy’s Story

This episode of Still Standing is a deeply powerful conversation with my good friend Leroy — a man who started life with the best intentions, big goals, and real ambition. On the surface, Leroy had everything going for him, but underneath he was quietly battling ADHD, something that would shape the path his life took in ways he never expected.

From a young age, Leroy found himself moving through children’s homes and into the criminal justice system, serving his first prison sentence at just 16 years old. That cycle became his reality for many years. His life became entangled with substance use and increasingly serious criminal activity, all in an attempt to survive and fund a lifestyle that was slowly destroying him.
Sitting in a prison cell for what would be the final time, Leroy reached a moment of clarity — this is it, something has to change. That decision marked the turning point. Leroy began seeking help through mutual aid, statutory services, and by surrounding himself with people who carried a message of hope and recovery.

Fast forward 15 years, and Leroy has never looked back. He now lives a selfless life in recovery, committed to giving back what was so freely given to him. For the past 13 years, he has worked within services, dedicating his life to supporting others and carrying the same message that once helped save his own.
This episode is about resilience, accountability, recovery, and the power of choosing change — no matter how many times you’ve fallen.

If Leroy can do it, so can you. 💙
