In this powerful episode of the Addiction Recovery Podcast, Built By The Red Stick, hosts Ronnie LeDuff and Michael Oakley welcome back Ronnie Delaune—Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC)—for an inspiring conversation about transformation, resilience, and long-term recovery. Ronnie brings decades of lived experience and professional insight to the mic. Now a Regional Supervisor of Outreach with Avenues Recovery Centers and a seasoned private practitioner, he’s seen both sides of the recovery journey: once caught in the grips of addiction himself and now thriving in recovery while guiding others toward lasting freedom. During this conversation, Ronnie reflects on his personal recovery journey—from the chaos of active addiction to earning his master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with honors, becoming board certified, and dedicating his life to helping others find their way out of addiction. His story covers the brutal realities of addiction, the hope found in recovery, and the commitment required to walk side by side with those in need. Ronnie’s approach combines deep compassion with practical strategies, helping individuals build refusal skills, prevent relapse, and establish strong support networks. He emphasizes that recovery isn’t a destination—it’s a continuous process of growth, accountability, and connection. 🎧 Tune in to this episode of Built By The Red Stick to hear how Ronnie Delaune turned his life around and now dedicates his life to empowering others through recovery, counseling, and community support. #AddictionRecovery #BuiltByTheRedStick #RonnieDelaune #MichaelOakley #RecoveryStory #AvenuesRecovery #RealRecovery #LicensedCounselor Support the show https://linktr.ee/builtbytheredstick
