Martin, you made this commitment to truly honor their lives by pouring everything you had into helping others who are struggling with this disease, so the others don't have to follow your footsteps.
Martin Lockett's life story is a powerful testament to the human spirit's ability to transform and find purpose. Growing up in a crime-heavy area of Portland, Oregon, Martin faced numerous challenges, including grappling with feelings of inadequacy and depression, often numbing his pain with alcohol. His life took a tragic turn when he caused a fatal DUI accident, leading to the deaths of two dedicated volunteers in the recovery community.
This event became the catalyst for profound change in Martin's life.

In this heartfelt episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point', he opens up about his journey from despair to redemption.
