Welcome to season three of the sober motivation podcast. Join me, Brad, each week as my guests and I share

incredible, inspiring, and powerful sobriety stories. We are here to show sobriety as possible one story at a time.

Let's go. In this episode, we have Benjamin, who has been sober since June 13, 2016.

Ever since he can remember, Ben did not feel comfortable in his own skin,

and alcohol and drugs would help him with loosening up.

After dropping out of college at 20 years old, Ben got his first DUI,

and his one thought in that moment was if he was arrested,

he would not be able to drink or use that day,

and that's all that seemed to matter.

Throughout the years, Ben's addiction progressed and he found himself in situations.

He always told himself he would never end up in.

This is Benjamin's story on the Sober Motivation podcast.

How's it going, everyone?

Welcome back to the show.

This is an incredible episode, and we're

going to get right into it shortly. But I just want to mention, first, you don't have to do this

alone. Getting sober is hard. It can be very hard at times, easier at other times, but you don't

have to do it alone. Me trying to do it alone ended me back up at square one more times

than I would care to admit. Join us over at Sober Buddy. We have live support groups that you can

plug into, a community of caring, loving, and incredible humans. Check it out your Soberbuddy.com.

If you have any questions about how to get on the meeting, send me a message over on

Instagram at Sober Motivation, and I hope to see you there soon.
