Five People. One Moment: Sobering – Betty Smithsonian

Betty describes her life before sobriety as “rearranging furniture on the Titanic”. She shares the story of how she went to a meeting in a church basement with no intentions of getting sober only to now be 21 years in recovery. Betty is now a comedian in Philadelphia who brings her authenticity to everything she does on and off the stage.
