I have a waiting list of people to help, and if you would have told me what I've achieved in The Last Five Years of being clean, it's just unimaginable.

Hosted by seasoned counsellors Jason Weel and Maddie Brygel, this episode dives deep into Ben's harrowing experiences and his path to recovery.
Ben, who now dedicates his life to helping others through his organization Drug-Ed, opens up about the challenges he faced and the support systems that played a crucial role in his transformation. He discusses the profound impact addiction had on his relationships and social life, the psychological hurdles he had to overcome, and the significant role trauma played in his journey.
Ben's narrative is not just about the struggle but also about the hope and resilience that can emerge from the darkest times. His work with Drug-Ed aims to educate and empower individuals, families, and communities about the effects of drug and alcohol use.
