Because it's so daunting, they say, well, I'm just not going to try it because there's no way I can make it, you know, a year or five years. You have the next choice to either to go this way or go that way, to drink or to not drink, to reach out for help or not reach out for help. Then just make the next right choice.
Ever wondered how a single choice can change the course of your life? Meet Martin Lockett, who found himself serving nearly 20 years in prison after a DUI accident that left two people dead. In this gripping episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', Martin opens up about his tumultuous youth in Portland, Oregon, where stealing cars and getting into trouble seemed like the norm. But it was behind bars that Martin discovered a new path, one filled with purpose and meaning.
Devastated by the lives lost due to his actions, he used his time in prison to turn his life around, taking full advantage of educational opportunities and reflecting deeply on his choices. Now, Martin is dedicated to DUI prevention and works as a substance abuse counselor, sharing his story to inspire others. Through candid conversations and heartfelt storytelling, this episode not only highlights the devastating consequences of addiction but also underscores the transformative power of making the next right choice.
It's a compelling listen for anyone seeking hope and guidance on their own journey to sobriety.
