What happens when a childhood marked by conflict sets the stage for a life of addiction? Meet Benjamin Heldfond, who grew up in San Francisco amidst the chaos of a high-conflict divorce. The emotional turmoil led him down a dark path of drinking and heroin use, culminating in a near-fatal overdose. But even that wasn't his wake-up call. It took years of struggling and a move to Florida before Benjamin began to confront his issues head-on.
Living as a 'dry drunk', he found himself in a bitter marriage filled with resentment. The birth of his son and subsequent divorce became the catalyst for change. Realizing he was on the verge of repeating his parents' mistakes, Benjamin sought help from his therapist and sponsor. His journey through therapy and recovery led him to co-author 'Our Happy Divorce' with his ex-wife Nikki DeBartolo.
This book tells the story of how their painful journey through divorce ultimately brought them closer together. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Benjamin shares his story of overcoming childhood trauma, addiction, and the power of therapy and online support groups. His experience underscores the importance of forgiveness and self-awareness in recovery. Tune in to hear how Benjamin turned his life around and found peace in sobriety.
