The Night My Brother Tried to Kill Me
About this episode
Ben Drohan shares his harrowing story of surviving an attempted murder by his brother and the subsequent struggles with addiction and trauma over the next 30 years.
At 14 years old, I woke up with a knife pressed against my throat as my older brother attempted to murder me and my entire family. That night changed everything. The next 30 years became a spiral of violence, addiction, self-destruction, and chaos that I could not escape. This is the story I have kept in the dark until now. In this episode, I share the truth about that night, what led to it, and how surviving an attempted murder shaped every decision I made afterwards. For the first time, I, Ben Drohan, open up about the relapses I hid, the lies I lived behind, the addictions that controlled me, and the way trauma drove the next three decades of my life. I talk about the drugs, the near jail moments, the business failures, the relationships I destroyed, and the people who stood by me when they probably should not have. I also share the final days of my mum’s life, how grief forced me to confront everything I had been running from, and the moment faith finally brought clarity after years of chaos. Hold onto your fkn hat because this is confronting, honest, and unfiltered. If you have lived through trauma, battled addiction, carried shame, lost your way, or wondered if change is…
