Recovery speaking built from lived experience and practical logic.
Stanley R. Leszewski brings direct, interactive lived-experience recovery education to organizations that want more than a scripted motivational talk. The focus is on addictive thinking, consequences, accountability, abstinence, life structure, warning signs, and the decisions that happen before substance use.
THE APPROACH
No sugar-coating. No performance. A conversation people can actually use.
Firsthand lived experience with addiction, recovery, relapse prevention, and rebuilding life after substance use.
Recovery Logic that separates facts, feelings, assumptions, justifications, decisions, behavior, and consequences.
Simplified 12-Step-informed education presented without forcing a religious belief or claiming there is only one path.
Open audience interaction and questions so the session responds to the people in the room instead of following a rigid script.

Schools, colleges, prevention programs, and student organizations
