At home and at work Alum finds inspiration through service At age 33, Ben B. became a stay-at-home dad. Before he knew it, his alcohol consumption escalated, turning him into the dad he never wanted to be. Too drunk to take his three-year-old daughter to swimming lessons, he’d trek with her instead to the liquor store or plop her in front of the television for hours.
