Ben came on the show back in May 2022 when he was around 12 months sober in Alcoholics Anonymous.  https://www.3cr.org.au/livingfree/episode/alcoholics-anonymous-ben-19may...

He’s returned to give us an update after another 2 years in his sobriety and to talk about how he lives now, without alcohol, and how his recovery has impacted his family, work and close relationships.

If you would like to find out a bit more about alcoholism for yourself or a friend, then you can give Alcoholics Anonymous a call on 1300 222 222 or check out their website www.aa.org.au.

If someone else's drinking is causing you a problem, then you can phone the Al-Anon Family Groups helpline on 1300 252 666 or go online at al-anon.org.au for more information.
