Benjamin S.

Growing up, I had a picture perfect childhood. We had family dinners at the table every night and were at church every Wednesday and Sunday. My addiction began at the age of 16. My addiction stemmed from depression, anxiety, not feeling wanted, and feelings of inadequacy. I was unemployed trying to find a purpose and heavy in alcohol addiction at this point when I came to Teen Challenge. One day God told me enough was enough. With help from family and loved ones, I was able to come to Teen Challenge. I hope to fan this spark, and to ignite a passion for Christ, and to share His story and my story.
