I pray for Leon Harris, his wife Dawn and his two children. Leon is a great news anchor; I remember meeting him a few years ago and what a gentleman he was - very courteous and gracious. May he continue to be strengthened on a daily basis and his recovery continue in a powerful way. God's strength is made perfect in human weaknesses.

The guy is human, just like ALL OF US.

I’m glad NBC is welcoming him back. Jim Vance got a second chance as well as many others.

[@STEVEVARVOUNIS]

Miss Jim.

[@citricitypark]

I am looking forward towards Leon.

I had no idea Leon was battleling this disease and that he was removed from the anchor desk. Glad he got another chance and is speaking about it publicly. To all who a struggling with any type of substance abuse, please stay strong and believe that you will overcome it.
