RJ Zimmerman and Marting Lockett have a conversation about the destruction that driving drunk has on families. Untapped Keg podcast episode 120 is very vulnerable, and explores a side of driving drunk that we often don't think about; especially people who are in the middle of substance dependency.
Family Devastation: Driving While Drunk with Martin Lockett Untapped Keg Ep 120
RJ Zimmerman talks with Martin Lockett, Master of Science in Psychology, substance abuse counselor, speaker, author, and formerly incarcerated. He served almost 18 years for manslaughter, caused by an accident one New Year’s eve where he drank excessively and drove through a stop light, colliding with a car carrying three people. Upon learning that the two people who died that night were volunteers in the drug and alcohol recovery community, Martin chose to honor them by dedicating his life to helping others through addiction counseling and drinking and driving prevention.
RJ and Martin have a deep conversation about drinking and driving from the honest and vulnerable perspective that YOUR OWN family are also victims when you make the terrible decision to drink and drive.
