When Benyi Johnson decided to tackle his addiction head-on, he knew it would be a journey filled with challenges and revelations. In this episode of 'Stairway to Redemption', Benyi sits down with his AA sponsor, Kevin, to unpack the mental landscape that many face right after leaving in-patient treatment.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand the nuances of addiction recovery or seeking practical advice on staying sober. With heartfelt stories and relatable experiences, Benyi and Kevin offer a comforting reminder that while the path to redemption is tough, it's also incredibly rewarding.
