I think that everybody, whether you're sober or not, humans have the ability, the right and the capacity to be happy.
How do you turn a seemingly inevitable toxic divorce into a story of recovery and growth? In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto sits down with Ben Heldfond and his ex-wife Nikki to discuss their unique approach to divorce and co-parenting. Ben, who had been sober for 12 years, found himself stuck in the mindset of a 'dry drunk'. He blamed his wife for his unhappiness and failed to take responsibility for his own actions.
Their marriage, once filled with hope, had turned into a series of challenges and misunderstandings. But instead of letting their relationship end in bitterness, Ben and Nikki decided to prioritize their son's well-being. They worked on their own faults, cleaned up their past, and chose a collaborative divorce process. This allowed them to create a supportive co-parenting environment. Their journey highlights the importance of forgiveness, community support, and continuous self-improvement in recovery.
If you're looking for an inspiring story about turning adversity into an opportunity for growth, this episode is a must-listen.
