May 23, 2021 – He broke free of the addiction at the age of 19 when he joined Teen Challenge, a Christian-based addiction service that offers rehabilitation from drug addiction by providing “transformation — not treatment.”

His time spent at the Teen Challenge in Pennsylvania amounted to six months in the late 1960s, instilling in him the idea that was the foundation of his book — not all addiction needs to be treated with medication.

In his book, he goes on to describe his spiritual keys for overcoming addiction, going into detail about things such as the power of meditation and confession and forgiveness.
