ON ADDICTION... With Mae Martin and Marian Keyes
How To Fail With Elizabeth Day
Intro
Episode opening with host Elizabeth Day introducing a recovery-themed archive special and previewing Mae Martin and Marian Keyes clips.
Welcome back to this How to Fail special where we revisit conversations from the archive to highlight particular themes and tap into the wisdom they contain. Each week, I select moments that can offer perspective, comfort and encouragement for whatever you might be going through.
Since September is National Recovery Month, we’re exploring the theme of addiction. First, we hear from comedian, writer and actor Mae Martin, who joined me in April this year. They spoke candidly about their experiences with addiction and recovery. Their honesty and humour shine through, reminding us that vulnerability can be a powerful force for change.
Then we hear from bestselling author Marian Keyes, who came on HTF just before lockdown, in February 2020. She shares her own journey with addiction and sobriety - her warmth and insight offer reassurance that recovery is possible and that life after addiction can be full of meaning and joy.
I hope this episode provides understanding, solidarity and light to anyone who may be struggling or supporting someone they love.
