I think, our generation...spend days futile, futilely, futility, futile, I don't know...But, Benji, a follow-up question to what I just asked, and it struck a chord with me while you were talking about children with great affluence- and it's not a demeaning question, in other words, to talk down or for that fact to condemn. It's because of maybe low self-esteem that they perhaps feel they don't fit in or they don't feel loved, or because of the fact that they received everything it felt like- sorry, I didn't mean for the tongue twister, it fell out of the sky- in other words that they were pushed into a corner. But the issues are still really difficult. They can't handle their feelings, and this is how they manage it.
Imagine a young adult trying to navigate the choppy waters of recovery. It's a tough journey, but Benji Fleischer is here to help them steer the ship. In this episode of 'Doing It Sober with Daniella Park', Benji shares his inspiring journey from Brooklyn to founding Dogaholix.org, a non-profit dedicated to supporting young adults in their quest for sobriety.
This isn't just another story about recovery; it's about creating a community where hobbies and interests play a crucial role in maintaining a sober lifestyle. Benji's passion shines through as he discusses the unique challenges young adults face in recovery. From the pressures of social media to the need for independent thought, he touches on the real issues that can make or break someone's sobriety.
Daniella and Benji dive into how having a hobby can be more than just a way to pass the time—it can be a lifeline, providing a sense of belonging and a constructive outlet for energy and emotions. The conversation also highlights the importance of empathy and compassion in supporting those in recovery.
Benji's story is a testament to how business initiatives can fundraise for recovery programs, showing that even in the world of commerce, there's room for kindness and community support. Plus, there's an unexpected twist: Benji emphasizes the importance of environmental care, reminding us that looking after our planet can go hand-in-hand with looking after ourselves. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
Tune in to hear how one man's vision is making a real difference in the lives of young adults striving for sobriety.
