In this powerful episode of Addicted to Recovery, Chris and Max are joined by Binz, who shares his remarkable journey from childhood trauma, alcoholism and addiction to celebrating 19 years of sobriety.

Growing up in a chaotic household affected by alcoholism and mental health struggles, Binz spent much of his life searching for acceptance, love and a way to escape his feelings. What started as teenage drinking eventually spiralled into addiction, broken relationships, financial difficulties and a battle with his own mental health.

But on 20 September 2007, everything began to change.

Binz opens up about the moment he finally accepted he needed help, the life-changing impact of Alcoholics Anonymous, sponsorship and the 12 Steps, and how recovery helped him find forgiveness for his father and break the cycle of addiction in his own family.

Now 19 years sober, Binz dedicates much of his life to helping others through recovery, coaching and sharing his experience.

An honest, emotional and inspiring conversation about trauma, forgiveness, family, hope and the incredible power of recovery.

🎧 Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for hope, this episode is well worth a listen.
