#139 Dad With Millions Of Followers Shares His Sobriety Journey

#139 Dad With Millions Of Followers Shares His Sobriety Journey

Ben Tate may just be the biggest social media dad we’ve had on the pod. You probably know him as one-half of Ben and Zara, the father-daughter duo behind those viral lip-sync videos. However, behind the fun and fame lies a pretty wild story.

Ben grew up in the entertainment world, acting in ads and TV shows. He lived life on unpredictable schedules and short-term contracts. That was all fine... until the birth of his daughter Zara nearly nine years ago.

Her arrival came with a dramatic birth story and a major wake-up call, one that forced Ben to step away from something that was quietly pulling his life off course.

For anyone struggling with addiction or seeking support, here are some helpful resources in Australia:

  1. Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF): Offers information, advice, and services to help with addiction recovery.

  2. Beyond Blue: Provides support for mental health issues, often linked with addiction.

  3. Lifeline: Offers crisis support for individuals in need.

Each organisation offers resources, hotlines, and guidance on seeking help and managing recovery.
