To be in the room while people are getting closer to god is an incredible experience, regardless of if I believe it or not.
Have you ever felt like life was throwing one challenge after another at you? Benji knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', he opens up about his tumultuous journey from California to Canada, escaping the chaos of the 1992 Rodney King riots. Benji's story is a rollercoaster of emotions—grief, love, loss, and ultimately, redemption. Growing up, he struggled with his identity and turned to alcohol and drugs as an escape.
But his life took a drastic turn when he hit rock bottom after the death of his long-time partner. Through the support of AA and a newfound spirituality, Benji discovered the power of community and the importance of giving back. Now, he's dedicated to helping others find their way out of the darkness. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is hope and a path to recovery.
