2 Sober Chicks - Debunking the Sponsorship Myth by 2 Sober Chicks - Lisa & Julie

2 Sober Chicks - Quit Playing God by 2 Sober Chicks - Lisa & Julie

Julie and Lisa are BACK!! After a year (or more...Covid distorts time for all), Julie and Lisa have found a way to podcast together from 2 different parts of North America: Julie in Tennesse and Lisa in the great white north of Canada. Happy to be back, they decided to have a friend from A.A. with some time and wisdom in the program to celebrate being reunited. Welcome, Lenny!

Lisa works through tolerance to acceptance when she surrenders to Gods will.

#AA #spirituality #recovery #alcoholism

Attending two very different meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous the other day, I was reminded again of the slogan Live and Let Live. We can have different opinions but today I don’t let that stand in the way of still loving you.

#AA #synchronicity #miracle

I recorded this in June but had trouble uploading it. I decided to let the backdrop be mature instead of a music bed. (Let me know what you think?! Music bed or no music bed? What do you prefer? [email protected] ) I love my days off, especially when I can get out of the city and get into nature and sit in quiet reflection throughout most of the day! This day I was thinking about what a MIRACLE it is that AA exists at all!!! So many variables and yet it was born, has grown and has continued to stay alive in spite of threats both internal and external. How often do we prove to be our own worst enemy when we debate the very thing that saved our lives. But I digress, here are my musings that day.

Lisa

P.S. I miss Julie too

Lisa here - it’s Been another while, so I thought I’d give a brief shotglass update on my life.

#AA #BillW #recovery #alcoholism #addiction #thereisasolution

Lisa talks about the old description from Bill W about our program - utter simplicity encased in a complete mystery.

#AA is a program for #alcoholics who have trouble coping with life without the use of #alcohol! In it you will hear talk of the #12steps - Lisa shares with you her latest 4th step inventory on the time she lost her dream job. This process kept her from drinking but more than that, it helped her accept the unsavory outcome, hold her head high, continue on with grace and dignity back in her old position (which she is not keen on), and most importantly helped her stop resenting the people who had passed judgement on her.

She hope it helps you if you are dealing with loss or accepting news you don’t agree with.

In the program of #AA we read the #bigbook of Alcoholics Anonymous and learn about our human condition. It is through this collected experience we learn how to cope with life on life’s terms and deal with ups and downs without the use of substances like alcohol.

This latest loss for me was one several of my friends thought I might drink over. I did not. I simply used all the tools AA has taught me over the last 15 years, rolled up my sleeves and got to work. Hope it helps you.
