Ben's Story
Before his retirement, Ben had a successful working life as a top income earner in a high-profile career. Ben retired with a comfortable nest egg but his alcohol dependency and associated poor relationship choices resulted in the loss of his wealth, self-esteem and core relationships. He became overwhelmed with grief and loss, which in turn exacerbated his dependency on alcohol.
After months of working together Ben was making good progress in restoring his life and had achieved his goal to stop drinking alcohol. However, he still had an expensive daily smoking habit that meant he could not afford his dream – to travel to London to give his daughter away at her wedding.
Together Ben and his clinical worker Mark put in place a client-motivated action plan to enable Ben to give up smoking. The funds he would have used to purchase cigarettes he saved instead and it was wonderful moment when he purchased his airline ticket and his dream to give his daughter away came true.
Ben’s is one story of many stories where we have seen meaningful life-altering change.
