Jan. 29, 2022 – Jonathan Bastian talks with Martin about her thoughts and experiences with sobriety and recovery. Martin says that within AA, strict rules prevent a full discussion of “outside issues” like politics or religion. Martin explains that when an “outside” issue impacts her and other people of color’s ability to stay sober, it’s no longer an “outside” issue.
“Why do I have to edit myself and pretend like things are fine?” she says. “That’s extremely dangerous for me, because that’s how I drank.”
