Rebuilding Lives: From Addict to Advocate BMB # 77

Your host is joined by Martin Lockett for a second time.
When Martin Lockett drove drunk on New Years Eve 2003, it changed everything. Upon learning that the two people who died when he crashed into their car that night were volunteers in the drug and alcohol recovery community, Martin chose to dedicate his life to helping others through addiction counseling and drinking and driving prevention.
He has been speaking for years to various audiences that span from high school youth before prom to DUI offenders to law enforcement personnel to warn, teach, and inspire people to do their part in reducing DUI/DWI fatalities.
