Offering community, hope and a path forward for food and beverage professionals who struggle with addiction and substance abuse.

WELCOME TO BEN'S FRIENDS

Ben’s Friends is a coalition of sober F&B people committed to their sobriety in an industry filled with drugs, alcohol and stress. Each of us has found or is seeking sobriety and a way to deal with our careers and life in a sane and purposeful fashion. We are here to share together how we do it and provide those seeking sobriety with the tools and the community needed to find it. Our only purpose is to help each other find freedom from the bondage of our addiction.
