A Shot Glass of Recovery
An odd name for a podcast on Recovery? When I was wondering what to call this podcast I reflected back on my drinking history and how I used alcohol and drugs as a Solution to my thinking, my problems, my very existence in general...I always reached for that shot glass of solution. But when the glasses were empty and the bottles ran dry the solution I’d used for decades had only made things worse. I’ve been on this recovery road for a little over 19 years now and what I’ve learned is my recovery is contingent on carrying the message to others. I hope you sit back and enjoy listening to the speaker series I’ve curated from my home group AA Solution Seekers. Perhaps when you feel most alone, in need of company or a positive message, you will join me as I share some of the wisdom the folks in recovery have shared with me over the years. This podcast is just recycled feedback from the rooms of recovery. Thank you for listening and helping me stay sober one day at a time.

Here's a NON-Alcoholic Cheers to recovery! 🥂 <sparkling water glasses>

I had the honor and privilege of being asked to speak at the 2024 S.U.S conference in Puerto Vallarta Mexico this year. Afterwards, when I stood in a receiving line of what seemed like a 100 or more people, so many relating childhood trauma stories of their own, I felt those words of wisdom my sponsor said to me all those years ago had really come true. I had asked him after completing my fifth step "..but why did all those bad things have to happen to me?". His response did not come from him, as most of the most profound things we say never do, it came from some place greater but through him to my heart...he paused and said "I don't know Lis. Maybe the only reason any of those things happened was so that you could one day show others, that no matter what happened in your past, you can live sober in the present and finally be free no matter what.".
I've carried that hope with me for years and I open all my talks with something similar, I ask the God of my understanding, to speak through me to whoever needs to hear a message of healing and hope. My hope is for them to hear through my experience, and to know from this moment forward that no matter your trauma, no matter your past, you can recover, you can live sober, happy and finally be free from the bondage of your past.
I thought this speaker tape a good one to start my latest podcast with, a vulnerable place, a space for you to get to know me.
There will be many more speaker tapes to follow that aren't mine, as I've curated 100's of other speakers with their permission for broadcast. First name only, unless they choose to unveil their full names in their talks.
Thanks for listening and I hope you stay.
love and freedom

A Shot Glass of Recovery
A Shot Glass of Recovery is Lisa’s solo venture after departing from her popular 100, 000 listening audience on 2 Sober Chicks. Her dear sober friend with whom she created a podcast in 2017 suffered a traumatic event and together they decided to end 2 Sober Chicks. Perhaps, one day they will podcast together again should they meet on the road to happy destiny once more. One can hope. There is always hope.
’Til then, Lisa has decided to light another candle in the dark world of Alcoholism & Addiction.
One for the Road? We never said, “No!” to that before, so why not take me along on your drive to work, walk in the park, or next road trip?
A Shot Glass of Recovery is a twist on an old solution made new, just like her journey in recovery made her feel whole at last.
