This guest came to my attention from one of my sponsee's, she was described as "the most down to earth, hard hitting, honest, real speaker...I have ever heard.".

Pretty amazing recommendation! This was Mandy's first time being recorded, I doubt it will be her last.

Hi, I'm Lisa, and welcome to a Shotglass of Recovery. In this episode, we dive into one of Bill Wilson's profound letters published in The Grapevine in January 1958, titled "The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety." Join me as I read and reflect on Bill's insights about emotional maturity and balance, drawn from his own experiences and struggles in early sobriety.

We'll explore the challenges faced by long-time AA members who, despite achieving sobriety, often still grapple with emotional well-being. Bill Wilson's candid discussion on the necessity of ongoing spiritual and emotional work highlights the importance of humility, self-awareness, and the continuous effort to overcome dependencies and unrealistic demands on others.

Listen in as I share personal anecdotes and insights, emphasizing the significance of maintaining emotional sobriety through the principles of AA and the teachings of the 12 Steps. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that true recovery involves not just abstaining from alcohol, but also achieving peace and balance within oneself.

Welcome to "Shotglass of Recovery" for August 16th, hosted by Lisa. In this episode, Lisa shares her recent experience with a unique challenge she posed to her sponsees in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Lisa emphasizes the importance of vulnerability in the recovery process, describing the "Vulnerability Challenge" where participants are encouraged to share daily readings from AA-approved or AA-adjacent literature. She highlights how these simple yet profound practices can foster trust and connection within the group.

Through a thought-provoking quote by Dorothy Fosdick, Lisa reflects on the essence of AA: "simple but not easy." She draws parallels between the basic principles taught in AA and the fundamental lessons from kindergarten, stressing the importance of implementing these simple ideas in everyday life despite the challenges.

Join Lisa as she navigates the complexities of recovery, shares her personal insights, and offers guidance on how to live life on life's terms. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and encouragement in your own recovery journey.

I met Pax at a group in the United Kingdom called One Day at a Time. He is one of those guys you instantly like. Full of laughter and warmth.

And then you hear his story.

Prepare to believe in miracles again!
