#178 Ben Owen - Inside the Life of an Addict

We're not not close. But, you know, Cody has an awful lot of very well-founded resentment towards me for everything I did over the years. demanding all of my parents' attention because I was such a pain in the ass. And I think I probably, in a lot of ways, crushed his hopes and dreams for his life. Now, he does a great job of hiding that resentment, but it's still there.

So, yeah, me and my brother are close. I love him. He's my little brother. But even though he lives, you know, 20 minutes up the street from me, we don't see each other like every day or anything like that. Man. It's a lot better now that I'm clean. You know, the longer I've been clean, the more he believes this time is real. How long have you been clean? A little over five years.

I've been off the streets for, we're closing on six years now. I had a couple of alcohol relapses that first year. So my actual sober date's October 4th of 2019. No kidding. Yeah, not a drop of alcohol, no dope, nothing.

Yeah, I was looking at the relapse that ended with the rest of my story. I actually started with Dalmore. No kidding. I was a big Scotch fan. That was just an alcoholic for a long time. Really?
