Ben's Friends Hope

“The fear is almost always the same: if I get sober, will there still be a place for me in this industry? had that fear too. Then she found Ben’s Friends and found out the answer was yes. More than yes. Clarity. Presence. Trust. Real connection with her team and her guests.

Watch her share what sobriety has given her. 💙

One year ago. 💙

Our co-founder took the stage in Copenhagen to speak truth about sobriety, mental health, and what real support in the hospitality industry looks like.

That moment started conversations we’re still having. And we’re not done yet.

Today we’re celebrating our co-founder, ! 🎂

The thing you need to know about Mickey... helping people isn’t something he started doing when Ben’s Friends began. It’s something he was already doing quietly, on his own, even in his hardest seasons.

Mickey was always going to spend his life looking out for people. The restaurant industry just handed him a bigger room to do it in. And when his heart met this community’s, it became a lifeline for thousands.

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Mickey! 💙

Tonight. 11PM EST. The shift ends, the adrenaline drops, the bar is right there. For a lot of us, that’s the hardest hour of the week.

So we built a meeting for it. 💙

The Pillars of Sobriety Zoom meeting kicks off TONIGHT (5/22) at 11PM EST. Each week we’ll focus on one of our six pillars: We, Hope, Honesty, Acceptance, Gratitude, Service. The cornerstones of long-term sobriety.
