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: Lorraine from NJ
I asked a Sponsee of Lorraine's to do her introduction.
here is what she wrote:
Lorraine is an honest, loving and respected member of our recovery community, Alcoholic Anonymous and treasured member of our online home group AA Solution Seekers. She was born on May 24 and is a loving mother and grandmother to her three granddaughters. Lorraine will celebrate 15 years of sobriety on October 25th. Originally from New Jersey, she brings a quiet strength and a wealth of experience to every meeting she attends. As my sponsor, Lorraine has shown me through both words and actions what it means to live with grace, humility, and purpose in recovery. Her journey is a powerful testament to the healing that’s possible when we stay committed to the process and keep showing up, one day at a time.
Let's listen in.

Episode Title: Chapter 8 - To Wives yes...still.... they deserve it.
Probably one of THE most loathed chapters for women in recovery because behind those feelings is a world of hurt and feeling left out and misunderstood. We were the alcoholic wives and many of us thought this chapter didn't concern us. But what is it Herbert Spencer said about "contempt prior to investigation"?
It leaves us in a world of ignorance.
So let's keep an open mind and get into it!
p.s. replace "husband" with "the alcoholic" in your mind....it helps.
Today we pick up on page 106 and discuss the 4 types of "alcoholic husbands".

Episode Title: Karolina from the UK
Karolina is a woman just heading into her 4th year of a life recovered. It's funny because if you knew her at 2 years into her journey of recovery you wouldn't think these two women were the same person! Just goes to show a LOT can happen on our journey on the road to recovery.
Karolina's story is not unique, save for a few minor details (husband, kid) her story could be my story. We came here got dry before we got sober before we got emotionally sober and got on the path to spiritually fit.
Time takes time and God works on us when we let go and let God.
Let's listen in.

Episode Title: LeShay from Florida
LeShay is a woman on the move. She has been sober for 13 years at the time of this recording. Leshay's message today is centered on the core principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. She seamlessly weaves in her own experience, blending it with the wisdom of AA literature. She has a very busy life while still managing to be accountable to a sponsor, sponsees, and to MY home group AA Solution Seekers as our GSR for area 83.
Her whole message today is like a big book study and ultimately relatable to herself as an alcoholic.
Let's listen in.

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.

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.
