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.

Episode Title: Henry O
 
Henry O got sober in 2005 and has been active in Alcoholics Anonymous ever since. He has a sponsor—who knows he is his sponsor—he sponsors other men, and he carries the AA message inside prison walls.
Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Henry now lives in Warrington, UK. As a young lad, he was caught drinking at a school dance. In an attempt to teach him a lesson about the dangers of alcohol, his father took him to the pub the following week, making him drink one-for-one with him. Henry swore he’d never drink again—but as the hangover faded, excitement for the next pub visit took its place. His father’s plan had backfired.
Today, Henry speaks about the mental twist and blank spot that every alcoholic experiences. He shares his journey from loss and incomprehensible demoralization to living sober, recovered, and free—a changed man, thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous.

Episode Title: A Shot Glass of Recovery: Chapter 7 - Working with Others....the never ending chapter!
In Episode 40 of A Shot Glass of Recovery, we finish off Chapter 7 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous—Working with Others (pg. 102).
 
I believe this is one of the most important Chapters in the book...next to the Doctors opinion, Bill's story, There is a Solution, More about alcoholism, We Agnostics, How it works, and Into Action....see what I did there?
 
And still to come we have the chapters that begin to teach us to live life on life's terms: To Wives, The family afterward, to employers, A vision for you!
 
Grab those highlighters and lets get at er.

Lorien is just shy of two years sober. In her story, she opens up about her struggles with relapse, rehab, and working with multiple sponsors throughout her recovery journey. She reflects on the mistakes she made along the way, sharing the lessons she’s learned. One of her most important realizations is that the steps can guide all areas of life, and it’s crucial to be kind to yourself—recovery is unique to each person. She also acknowledges how God continually did for her what she couldn’t do for herself. Here, she tells her story.

Episode Title: A Shot Glass of Recovery: Chapter 7 - Working with Others....the never ending chapter!
In Episode 39 of A Shot Glass of Recovery, we dive into Chapter 7 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous—Working with Others (pg. 99).
 
A stark reminder that we do not need to keep our family, our jobs, our money in order to get sober...in fact, some of us need to lose it ALL before we become truly willing to surrender.

Sometimes, life feels like a whirlwind of chaos, doesn't it? Kelley's story is a testament to the unseen battles many face behind the closed doors of addiction and alcoholism.
From the pressures of trying to please an abusive mother, to her struggles with mental health issues, and closeted drinking. Her story is like so many others.
When one day we stop hiding from those that love us and ask for help - the door to healing can finally be unlocked.

Wesley's story is one of resilience, hope, and transformation in the face of adversity. Living in the heart of one of Kenya's ghettos, she found herself grappling with the initial uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the hardships of lockdowns. The pandemic not only posed physical health risks but also mental and emotional challenges that seemed insurmountable. Yet, in the face of these overwhelming obstacles, Wesley chose a path of recovery. 
 
God kept doing for her what she could not do for herself. She tells her story here.

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.
