A Shot Glass of Recovery

An odd name for a recovery podcast? Absolutely. But if you knew my drinking history, it would make perfect sense. For years, I used alcohol and drugs as a solution—to my thinking, my problems, and honestly, to life itself. Whenever things got uncomfortable, confusing, or required feelings, I reached for a shot glass full of “solution.”

Spoiler alert: when the glasses were empty and the bottles ran dry, that solution had only made everything worse.

I’ve been on this recovery road for a little over 20 years now, and here’s what I’ve learned: the only way I get to keep what I have is by giving it away—preferably without a hangover.

This podcast is a speaker series curated from my home group, AA Solution Seekers. It’s recycled wisdom, borrowed experience, and feedback straight from the rooms of recovery. So if you’re feeling alone, looking for company, or just need a positive message that doesn’t come with bad advice or worse decisions, pull up a chair and listen in.

Thanks for being here, for listening, and for helping me stay sober—one day at a time.

Keep Coming Back!

Lisa

Miss Betty is as hard working as they come. She is the salt of the earth kinda person that makes me want to sit on a stool in a kitchen and snap fresh peas and bake pies with just so I can sit and listen to her tell me some things I know I don't know yet.
 
She is sugar. Come get you some. We all need a sweet cup of Miss Betty.

I have some favourite speakers in Alcoholics Anonymous. The late greats such as Clancy, Clarence, Chuck, Sandy. Then the one that spoke to me and made me feel as if I could get sober because HE did, Earl H.
Well this next speaker just made my list, get ready for a ride. 
Johnny from WPB Florida is one of the absolute best.

I left the world of broadcasting in 2009, I was having difficulty reconciling the world of ego in that industry and the reduction of ego necessary to get out of self in order to recovery from the disease of addiction and suffering. 
I've had many jobs since, but I always missed my love of radio. It was for me a way to connect to others, safely, remotely at times, just an invisible voice in the ether. Talking on shows was often how I worked through things, like therapy....and I just brought you along for the ride. You're welcome??? lol
 
So when my dear friend and I started 2 sober chicks in 2017 I felt that God had given me a gift. Since getting clean and sober I've felt a little remorse around having to "leave it all behind". But with the gift of sobriety and a new pair of glasses, seeing the world through a clearer lense and a new perspective - I realized I don't have to give up broadcasting completely. Through podcasting I could make something uniquely mine and hopefully, carry a message of hope, faith and healing to those like me.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to record this speaker. I'm sad I was just getting to know him before his passing in 2023. The world in general, not just AA, suffered a great loss the day Danny went to the big meeting in the sky.
 
Rest in Peace brother, God know you earned your rest.

Another great member from my home group, I'm starting with all our regulars at AA Solution Seekers. With just a few speakers so far you have already heard over 100 odd years of sobriety.
This is Tony B.  We may not share the same lineage but we speak the same language. It's the language of the love of learning, a desire to grow and change and never stop; The Language of the Heart.
This guy lights up the room when he walks in and doesn't even need a match.

What can I say about Tricia G.....so much, I have heard her 5th step after all!!! I JOKE! That shit's locked away in a vault. 
 
Tricia walks the steps of action in this program every day. I admire her. It's not easy to get and stay sober but some folks have an easy softer way, lots of support, money, no drama. Tricia's beginning had none of that. She is a survivor.
 
Here are three things I will say about Tricia; She loves her husband and her kiddo, She is a force, and we love her.

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.
