"Anthony has a remarkable ability to place his audience right in the moment. Very few people really know what agony any addict goes through, and I felt as if I was with him at every significant period of a dramatic, intense search for self. He truly speaks from the heart, without apology, and without quasi self analysis. This is a real experience, he lived it, he fought with it, he won. I walked away a different person after hearing Anthony."

"Anthony Benson is a speaker who opens his heart to his audience. He speaks from the bitter experience of his own life, but reveals the transformation, which can occur when love replaces bitterness and hope replaces despair. His intriguing life story is also a mirror reflection of aspects of all our lives and Anthony helps us to come to terms with our own fears in reaching that place where love reigns supreme. He does this with compassion and humor and imparts wisdom and understanding that come from the stuff of life."
