Scott Crawford and Steve Palmer discuss addiction and sobriety issues in the hospitality industry, as well as the organization Ben's Friends in a conversation hosted at Crawford and Son.
This is a very honest, raw discussion about an issue that has so negatively impacted the restaurant industry for decades. Steve (sober 18 years) and Scott (sober 15 years) lost a very close friend, Ben Murray, share their stories of drug and alcohol abuse, their realizations that they were either going to change their lives or wind up dead, and their respective roads to recovery. And they share the story of Ben's Friends (www.bensfriendshope.com), which Steve co-founded three years ago after Steve and Scott's good friend Ben Murray took his own life due to shame related to relapsing.
