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 has taken a leave from AA. 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.

From Blackouts to Bright Mornings: Lisa's AA Journey a talk at the Port Credit group 2025
Hey — thanks for joining this Speaker Series episode of A Shot Glass of Recovery. Lisa M. takes us through her raw, honest, and often funny story of addiction, identity, and healing. From early blackouts and painful family secrets to the life-saving simplicity of a sponsor, the Big Book, and finding a higher power of her own understanding, Lisa shares how she went from bitter and broken to grateful and at peace.
She talks about the real work of recovery — showing up to meetings, asking for help, doing the steps, and building human connections (yes, in-person matters). Lisa mixes vulnerability with humor and offers practical, lived advice: go early, make coffee, get numbers, and keep coming back. She also reflects on motherhood, trauma, being a lesbian in the ‘80s, and how therapy, prayer, and fellowship helped reshape her life.
If you want an intimate, relatable talk that balances tough truths with warmth and hope, this episode delivers. Come for the gripping stories, stay for the laughter, and leave with the message that, one day at a time, recovery is possible.
