Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger grew up in Montreal, where he completed his university degree at Concordia. After graduation, he continued his life education by traveling extensively, visiting over twenty-five countries worldwide.

After he graduated from the Rabbinical College of America Kollel in 1991, he and his wife Karen were appointed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to represent Chabad in Metro West New Jersey, where he became a Pastoral Counsellor for Jewish addicts in recovery.
During this time, he authored a course on Addiction and Spirituality, which he presented in numerous cities throughout the U.S.

In 2007, Rabbi Bresinger and Karen, who holds a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University, returned to Montreal to become the Director and Clinical Director, respectively, of Chabad Lifeline, a nonprofit, non-sectarian addiction counselling centre.
Under their leadership, the centre has grown significantly, with a staff of 20 working tirelessly to treat everyone touched by the pain of addiction, regardless of their background, religion, or financial situation.

JULIAN MORGAN has travelled extensively overseas and has had a highly successful career in the security industry.

He now concentrates on writing and poetry reflecting on his journey with alcohol addiction, with further campaigns underway. These were inspired by his eldest brother’s passing on Christmas Day 2020 due to cancer.

Julian himself also experienced cancer this year (2022), with the tumour being successfully removed - and without having a single thought of picking up a drink.

Julian is a fanatical supporter of a North London premiership football team and can be spotted daily in the gym wearing t-shirts three sizes too small for him while listening to dangerous volume levels of orchestral trance.

He spends the rest of his time enjoying a varied and liberated social life. Julian's 'big picture' is to help the millions of people who are, or know someone who is still, suffering from the bondage of addiction.
