For me, the disease is about brokenness. Addiction comes from a brokenness there. It's in the mind, it's in the body, it's in the soul, wherever it is that I was born broken.
What happens when a successful businessman, author, and long-term recovery advocate shares his story? In this episode of 'The Sober Truth', George Wood chats with Ben Heldfond, a man who's not just survived addiction but has thrived in its aftermath. Ben, who has been sober for 26 years, opens up about his journey to sobriety and how faith has been a cornerstone of his recovery.
He also touches on his book 'The Happy Divorce', co-written with his ex-wife Nikki Debartolo, and his role as a DJ for 102.5 the Bone on the show 'Miggs and Swig'. The conversation is packed with wisdom and real-life experiences, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or recovery. Ben candidly discusses the brokenness that often underlies addiction, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the issue and seeking help.
He also sheds light on the misconceptions surrounding addiction and recovery, urging society to change its perspective on these issues. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and healing, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt moments.
