My approach to sobriety is to embrace it and make it the most amazing thing possible. If it wasn't for the fact that I got sober, there is no way that I would be the person doing the things that I'm doing today.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around completely? Meet Ben Tuff, whose story of transformation is nothing short of extraordinary.

Through candid conversations, Ben discusses his time in rehab, dealing with bipolar disorder, and the emotional toll of addiction.
His story is a testament to resilience and determination, proving that life after addiction can be not only fulfilling but also incredibly inspiring. If you're looking for a tale of triumph over adversity, this episode is a must-listen.
