Marty M was from NY and she was one of the first female members of AA she is speaking at the Greenfield Hill Group in 1979. She became sober in April of 1939, she wrote the story “Women Suffer Too” which is included in the Big Book. Marty M was also the first lesbian member of Alcoholics Anonymous at a time when gay and lesbians were not accepted by society.

She also wrote a book called Marty M's New Primer on Alcoholism that is long out of print but I did find a few used 1962 copies Here  a more updated 1981 version Here

Robyn W speaking in Houston TX (LGBTQ) Repost NSFW

I first heard Robyn at the Living Sober Western Round Up, his story was one that has always stuck with me.

I really wanted to include him in this podcast & spent a few hours looking through the archives at the Living Sober website trying to find the year he spoke in the old programs.

I could not remember his last initial or where he was from, but I did remember his first name, eventually I found it in the archives and was able to find this speak from 2000 in Houston.

Im listing the audio quality as a 3, it's a 4-5 in the first 2/3's of the recording but the last third has background noise, I have cleaned it up as best I can, and overall it is a 3.  Repost NSFW
