RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – Jesse Bennett sat on a park bench, reflecting back on his dark past.
“Heroin it makes you numb to everything it really wipes away all everything,” Bennett said. “Luckily I lived through it.” He started using drugs at age 14.
“At that point I really didn’t think I was an addict. I knew I did things extreme but I didn’t think it was too bad,” said Bennett.
His transition into adulthood happened on the streets and in and out of jail.
