I don't know if I should reach out to a young person and say: Sonny, I'd like to help you, stay sober. This would actually be funny if you like, looked up like the latest hip hop album release and be like just walk up and be like hey, you listen to that new Kendrick, or like you, listen to that.
Imagine reaching the brink of stardom, only to find yourself pulled back into the shadows of addiction. That's exactly what happened to rising rap star Benjamin Bilderback. In this episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', hosted by the legendary Randall Carlisle, Benjamin opens up about his tumultuous journey from relapse to recovery. After completing rehab in Utah, Benjamin moved away to chase his music dreams, but the change led him straight into relapse.
Now, he's back in Salt Lake City, determined to stay sober by surrounding himself with a community that supports his recovery. Benjamin's story is a raw and honest look at the struggles and triumphs that come with addiction recovery. He shares how staying in Salt Lake City, a place he now calls home, has been pivotal in maintaining his sobriety.
He talks about the importance of having sober friends and a supportive environment, and how these elements are crucial for anyone battling addiction. Music plays a significant role in Benjamin's recovery. He discusses how creating and sharing his music at FTR, Utah's sober gym, has been therapeutic and has given him a sense of purpose. He also touches on the triggers that can lead to relapse and the strategies he uses to avoid them.
This episode isn't just about one man's struggle; it's about the power of community, the importance of environment, and the healing potential of music. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Benjamin's story offers hope and practical insights that can make a difference.
