@HJass_@FONTAINESR@nbcwashington That’s why this is a special place to work. They care less about me being on the air than they do about helping me save my life. I’m blessed to be here, believe me.
In a candid interview with News4's Doreen Gentzler, anchor Leon Harris opens up about his journey with sobriety and serving jail time after being convicted of driving under the influence.
@nbcwashington I wish him the best. The journey is long but can be done. Recognizing the problem and look for help is a big step into fixing the problem.
@lesley_rife@nbcwashington I appreciate that, Lesley!!! It’s been such a blessing to know I’ve got good folks like you in my corner. I’ll do my best to make it worth it!
@nbcwashington Go Leon!! Keep with and stay strong. Sending love and light to you and all of those around you. I hope you continue and stay bright and light and not go to the darkness❤️❤️❤️
@efield57@nbcwashington Thanks Ellen. It was tough, but hearing from so many who’ve said it’s helped them makes it more than worth it. I appreciate your support!
@nbcwashington It takes a brave man to share your story with thousands of NBC4 viewers and @RealLeonHarris did a fine job. I’m still a big fan and wish you courage and endurance in your journey, Leon.
@nbcwashington@nbcwashington@RealLeonHarris
This is heartening on so many levels, including Leon's resilience and straight-forwardness in sharing all throughout, NBC 4 Team's loving support and standing by & With him, and overall open-heartedness and Generosity of Spirit among One and All.
@nbcwashington@DoreenGentzler words are important: it’s not about ppl being disappointed by “what he’s been through“ but being disappointed by what he did. I truly wish @RealLeonHarris the best with his recovery, and as someone nearly killed by a drunk driver, I hope he uses this opportunity.
Heading to the set in a few minutes for the first time in a month. A little nervous, but psyched by all the messages of support from so many of you. Here's to Day-1 of the New and Improved newsman! #onedayatatime#recoveryworks
