Hey friend—pull up a chair. In this Shot Glass of Recovery episode, Lisa M. dives into line five of the Prayer of St. Francis: “Where there is error, let me bring truth.” We look at how people‑pleasing, passive aggression, and subtle manipulation keep us living in fiction—and how choosing honesty, directness, and willingness brings us back to reality and alignment with God’s will.

You’ll get gentle, practical prompts to start your day: What are my plans? Am I telling the truth (especially to myself)? Am I trying to force outcomes, or am I willing to conform to the reality in front of me? We sit for a focused 10‑minute meditation and a simple daily prayer to stay honest, play fair, and stay in our own lane—asking for the courage to change our minds when we discover our “values” were just mistaken opinions.

Then we wrap the day with a quick, no‑nonsense inventory: Did I complete my plans? Where did I bend the truth or manipulate? Did I gossip, switch allegiances to fit in, or hold a half‑truth to be liked? What do I need to own so I can make it right tomorrow?
