RMA 132: The Suki Jones Interview
Join us this week on RMA, where we engage in a candid conversation with Suki Jones, author of the addiction and recovery memoir "Sea, Swallow Me." Suki takes us through her personal journey, detailing her experiences with drug addiction while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and a career in modeling during the early '90s in the Bay Area. She shares the challenges of maintaining a façade of normalcy while struggling privately, providing a balanced perspective on the often-hidden battles many folks in recovery face on a daily basis
A ferocious memoir about broken family history, sexual abuse, and debilitating addiction, Sea, Swallow Me vividly wanders through the 90s with a fiery resolve which ultimately reveals how Jones survived when she shouldn't have. The book is a powerful and redemptive tale of resilience and redemption.
In the RMA interview, Suki reflects on the impact of her past, including the influences of a turbulent family history and the ways in which she confronted and overcame her addiction. This episode isn't just about the struggle; it's also about the steps toward recovery and the strength found in vulnerability. Hear how Suki transformed her darkest moments into a message of hope and resilience, offering insights that resonate with anyone facing their own challenges. Tune in for a story of real-life change, personal growth, and the journey from darkness to daylight with Suki Jones.

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step, (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
