Ben's Story
At the height of my entertainment career, I was 70 pounds heavier, drunk and suicidal. I mapped out what my death would look like. I ran the scenario in my head over and over. Instead of what would be the second attempt of taking my own life, I decided to ask for help. My therapist told me I needed to keep my mind busy and asked if I ever thought about running. One year later, I lost 70 pounds in 3 months and became an iron man and ultra-runner. To date, I have run over 4000 miles in a little less than 3years. Sobriety came later along the way. When drinking started to get in the way of my new life, I banished it all together and forever. Every day is a challenge but everyone’s is as well 🙂 Stay strong, focused and be you.
