His tale is one of highs and lows, culminating in a transformative experience with the Narconon program.

Benjamin emphasizes the importance of communication as a first step for anyone grappling with addiction. He also touches on the crucial role of proper nutrition and the therapeutic power of writing down one's experiences.
