I was always thinking, trying to race this race where there's at the finish line, there's some kind of fulfillment.
Imagine feeling like an outsider in your own community. For Benji, growing up as the only Asian kid in a predominantly white neighborhood meant constantly seeking acceptance. This quest led him down a dark path of alcohol and drug abuse, starting with trying to fit in at parties and escalating to theft from his parents and neighbors. Despite his struggles, Benji managed to keep up a successful professional life and even became student body president.
But addiction doesn't discriminate, and soon it caught up with him, leaving him homeless and desperate. It was only when he hit rock bottom that Benji decided to seek help. Entering rehab marked the beginning of his long road to recovery.
