Confronting Guilt and Shame: Martin Lockett’s Journey on Alcohol Tipping Point

You start doing that by saying: okay, I am a human being, I am prone to making mistakes, I've made many mistakes, but I am redeemable, right, I am forgivable, right, I am worthy.
Ever wondered how to tackle the heavy weights of guilt and shame? In this episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point', Martin Lockett returns to share his powerful story and practical advice on overcoming these burdens. Martin, a writer, speaker, and substance abuse counselor with a master's in psychology, knows firsthand the depths of guilt and shame. He served nearly 18 years in prison for a DUI that resulted in the tragic loss of two lives.
His journey from that dark place to becoming a beacon of hope is nothing short of inspiring. Martin breaks down how to identify guilt and shame, and more importantly, how to move past them. He discusses the steps to transform guilt into a positive force and the importance of reframing the labels we often place on ourselves. You’ll hear about his work with the US National 988 crisis line and his personal strategies for self-forgiveness and forgiving others.
This episode is packed with insights on using positive affirmations like 'I am worthy, I am lovable' to combat negative self-talk. Martin’s approach is both compassionate and actionable, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction or simply struggling with feelings of unworthiness.
