Addict to Autism Advocate. One Man's Journey To A Beautiful Life / Marco Langis Interview

From drinking and smoking pot by age thirteen, and doing meth by fifteen, it's amazing anyone could live a normal life and function.  But that's exactly what Marco Langis, did. He was a functional addict for a great amount of his life. Working, and parenting was all part of his daily existence, but because he was still using meth, he admits he was never on top of his game, not matter how well he thought he hid it.

The love of a woman, whom he had loved since his early twenties, finally pulled him out of the spiralling, and hiding that was Marco's norm , with a last chance ulitmatum. But it was also her autistic son, who showed Marco new possibilities.

Now in his mid fifties, Marco hasn't used meth or even had one set back in over a decade. His work with Autism Spectrum Athletics, in the Los Angeles area, has changed his life. Working with the children and being on the Board of Directors for this non-profit, has brought new purpose to his life, and given him numerous opportunities to give back.

I loved this interview because of the honesty, growth, and promise it showed to all that life is truly WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT. It's about choices. And no matter what you have done in the past, you can choose to turn it around. Getting help and getting involved is what worked for this man.

You can message Marco questions about help with enrolling your child in the program, or how you can volunteer by emailing: langismarco@gmail.com or go to the website autismspectrumathletics.org
