I can't imagine my life if i never got a chance to hear and get into Breaking Benjamin. wow. makes you think. never give up people! you never know what life will bring you

[@shadowknight1939]

Benjamin... Thank you for letting us know That We Are Not Alone.

[@ogbee9690]

Katelyn Marie Sanchez hahaha

[@shadowknight1939]

...well I didn't intend for it to be funny, nor did I intend...y-you know what, nevermind.

[@arsfarciministhorkeksson7661]

You get it… but… do you like that? Would you like that?🙃

[@kellyo125]

No clue why they thought your comment was “funny” or intended a mention of a “ha ha” what a moron

[@Fairie1974]

I'm glad you're better with your depression and suicidal tendencies. Thank you for coming out about it, I was just like that when I was younger. I hate drinking, so I'm glad I never had to worry about that. Good for you working it out!

[@laurascreamermagazine8211]

I interiewed Ben in 2015 and he is truly a humble and inspiring human being and of course musician.

[@810wasaninsidejob9]

Saturate will always be my favorite album, not only from BB but of all time. Every single song is amazing and speaks to me. I'm glad Ben isn't dead and I wish him a long and happy life.

[@GTSWRESTLING]

I'm so glad Ben overcame this

[@Tom-sv3cm]

I've always related to him, in this way. Hopefully sooner or later, I'll be in a better position in life like he is now.

[@creckjovhammer7848]

You made a good choice by not killing yourself bro. Keep being who you are and keep making good music. God bless you :)

[@gatortrav22]

Been, I just wanted to say that your music helped bring me out of one of the darkest times of my life. Keep on, keeping on. We love you and look forward to hearing more from your band!

[@rhondamcgowan7371]

Every time I fall in love with a band...this is their story. Just like me.

[@alainab3291]

Thank GOD he overcame this. BB is my rock.. theyre songs have kept me so strong especially “until the end”❤️

[@alyssahernandez8205]

If he would've killed himself... think of how many people would've gone through & killed them self... Glad he has found his purpose. Soul winner🌻🖤🌻🖤

[@hollysimonson3573]

Without Ben in the band i'd be dead

[@dominikkuharic1259]

WIthout Ben in the band, this band would fall apart. Ben in this band is all good they got :)

[@AndAllWeAreIsAllWeMadeBB]

I wouldn't be here without their music either

[@joeess3275]

come on man out of all the bands out there, breaking benjamin got me, every single song was on fire and bens voice is in a different class, ffs the fans want ya back

[@erinlovesjustinpritt4636]

I love you breaking Benjamin u help me so much with your music it makes me feel better and u calm me down when I feel depressed or scared I listen to u and u make me feel so happy and safe😊😍

[@ogbee9690]

Erinlovesjustin Pritt aww thats awesome me too

[@kellyo125]

Thank you Benjamin for sharing. I was the same and suicide and alcohol started when I was younger in 2002. I’m still battling the alcohol demon. It’s so hard! Probably the hardest thing I’m trying to overcome. So far my last drink was 11/26/2024. I’m hoping to hang in there. Your music definitely helps and it even helped in the past when I was separated from my soulmate.

[@tw3akmusic750]

Just let go of me Suffer slowly Is this the way it's got to be? Don't bury me Faceless enemy I'm so sorry Is this the way it's gotta be?

[@arsfarciministhorkeksson7661]

"Somewhere far beyond this world I feel nothing anymore" As someone who is suffering with seemingly alcoholism, - at times - agonising depression, and quite nasty physical pain of some sort about 90% of the time this song really hits close to home

[@tw3akmusic750]

@@arsfarciministhorkeksson7661 same:/ this song will forever be with me and listened by me. Since i discovered it when i was 13

[@Spikemare]

that's how i feel "i can't live my life without alcohol" I haven't really try'd to stop because it'll be to hard and i won't be myself and might do something bad.

[@rebekahplymale7352]

wow I didn't know that and thanks ben for being strong and quiting and being very ummmm..... independent and I think this interview and your words will help a lot of people

[@DragonflyBritt360]

You shouldn't put your body through such misery. Says the woman who used to cut herself, who had once made herself puke, who still starves herself sometimes, who tried to drown herself in the bathtub at once point. I relate to you.

[@Srrycide]

IF HE DID I WOULD CRY

[@robynrayann8816]

This hurts my ♡

[@southern_rebel2056]

Man I want my life to become really good like he said his did

[@germanrailnetwork6869]

If you live the perfect life but can't appreciate it, it's meaningless. If you learn to enjoy your own life even through difficult times, good times will come. You can do it, you are a great individual

[@ElMarcoHoJ]

Adding the Phobia angel to my Benjamin tat as soon as I have the money.

[@12.0.13]

Over 8 years later…did you get it?

[@mariemiles7287]

I'm a recovering alcoholic and I was unstable mentally too. Your illness is most likely an autoimmune illness too, like m.e or fibromyalgia. I have fibro. Emotional pain turns physical. Mental health issues and addiction is from childhood trauma so it's great to deal with your traumas with therapy if u can xxx

[@SonOfManMusic]

I always wondered if that's Ben himself on the Phobia cover art. Considering the cover of Dear Agony is his brain scan.

[@JayZombie1216]

Ben, you are not alone. My drinking case is the exact same. I started drinking to die. Same thing. I'm suppressing the urge to booze it up, though. I still drink to numb the pain of everything. Honestly, I think I will always drink.

[@evanmc6700]

JayZombie1216 im in the same boat man.

[@sophiaetka22]

He is my hero

[@robynrhianna6147]

I love you

[@Wizardry04]

This touched me because I wanted to kill myself last year, untill I decide to fight that shit back and fight to be happy, and now I realize that Ben had similar problems. This is so touching, this makes me love him haha, anyway if you guys are having a bad time ask for help(friends, family whatever) and never give up.

[@chriskeller3229]

Iv been there brotherman it's very dark

[@breakingbeautiful2127]

[@angelburnley682]

Oh dear 😪

[@sophiaetka22]

I’m soooo sad

[@aztecwhistle9122]

God what happened to him to make him want to take razors to himself and flirt with drinking himself to death? 😔

[@robynrayann8816]

[@BreakingBeautiful-n6i]
