A riveting and raw story of how one woman overcame alcoholism and mental illness and broke free from the genetic blueprint of addiction that demonized her family for generations. She sets you in a front row seat as she shares her life story and experiences, which show the strength, determination and courage of how she refused to continue with this way of life, and how she would do whatever it took to protect her children from being exposed to a life of addiction which is so normalized and influenced within society.

When I closed the door on my past, I didn't expect it to come back and haunt me. I was appalled when she called for my help, but she swore I was the one person who could save him - the only man I've ever loved. The man she stole from me. She's to blame for the mess of a man he's become, but I'm to blame for walking away. Anything good has been long forgotten. In its place is destruction, devastation, and enough regret to last a lifetime. I came in hopes of making things right. But I never expected this.

So, if we have negative beliefs around weight loss such as I'll just always be overweight, or losing weight involves eating foods I despise & doing exercise I hate, then of course you'll always revert back to your old behaviors. BUT, If you instead realize you deserve to be healthy, to feel amazing in your own body & get the body you desire without hating your life, you'll be able to lose weight.

Marty was the first woman to achieve lasting sobriety in AA, founder of National Council on Alcoholism, author of at least two books on alcoholism, author of AA's The Big Book story "Women Suffer, Too", and co-founder of The AA Grapevine.

In 2014, novelist Leslie Schwartz was sentenced to 90 days in Los Angeles County Jail for a DUI and battery of an officer. It was the most harrowing and holy experience of her life. Following a 414-day relapse into alcohol and drug addiction after more than a decade sober, Schwartz was sentenced and served her time with only six months' sobriety. The damage she inflicted that year upon her friends, her husband, her daughter, and herself was nearly impossible to fathom. Incarceration might have ruined her altogether, if not for the stories that sustained her while she was behind bars.

After a lifetime of confusion, she’d finally gained clarity around her gender and had begun to transition.
