Show Notes

Six months after first opening up about his past manipulative patterns, Gethro LaCroix returns with a striking update. He’s now over 400 days sober, committed to the gym, off social media, and deepening his connection to faith and community.

He shares how he avoids slipping into old habits—womanizing, drinking, smoking—by remembering the chaos they caused and grounding himself in daily discipline. A highlight: a friend took Gethro’s advice to “pick a lane” and abandon the mix-and-match lifestyle of half-good-guy, half-player. That moment showed Gethro how teaching others reinforces his own growth.

Gethro’s relationship is thriving through transparency and mutual transformation. Both partners quit substances, practice prayer and fasting for decision-making, and are intentionally moving toward marriage. He’s learning to lead with love rather than dominance.

Meanwhile, friends and family are surprised—some skeptical—but they respect the boundaries he now holds firmly. He’s no longer the guy to call for drinking or smoking; he’s the one you call for advice, a workout, or a grounding conversation.

Anchored by a new sleep schedule, structured days, and an intentional lifestyle, Gethro’s transformation is steady, disciplined, and—most importantly—real.
