Hey, it’s me — Lisa, your host of A Shot Glass of Recovery. This quick five-minute shotglass is built on one powerful line from the St. Francis prayer: "Where there is despair, may I bring hope." Sounds sweet until you learn what that actually looks like in the real world of sponsorship. Spoiler: it’s not hugs and Hallmark quotes. It’s tough love, hard work, and truth served straight from the hip. Sip it, chug it or let it burn a little. Sometimes the burn is where the truth is.

I share how my sponsor, Luke, didn’t coddle me — he called my bullshit, handed me a map (the Steps), and gave me hope with backbone. If you’re new or feeling stuck, know this: the person who’s been where you are can be a carrier of possibility. Hope isn’t taught, it’s caught — and sometimes you need someone willing to be brutally honest, vulnerable, and practical to help you get there.

So get your marching orders: where there’s despair, bring hope. Not the woo-woo kind — the lived, scar-tissue kind that shows up, takes action, and invites you to do the same. This one’s short, straight shooting, and direct from my heart. Thanks for listening — I’m Lisa, and this is A Shot Glass of Recovery.
