From a quite normal childhood, being involved in numerous school activities and doing well in the classroom, Marcus Pitts' life slowly faded into one of despair, and a life he despised. He created a persona that drew others in, finding himself to be a “people pleaser.” Continuing into the lifestyle of popular activities, such as becoming a member of a fraternity and partying, his drinking problem eventually turned into one giant pit of addiction he had to dig himself out of. Facing 27.5 years in prison, Pitts turned his life around after being introduced to Oxford House and the grace of God. Today, Marcus is a steward to his community and has assisted in opening, restructuring, and relocating numerous sober living houses. Speaking to his leadership and investment in the Oxford Community, he has a spot on the Oxford House World Council. Best wishes to you, world traveler!
