In this edition of The Way Out I’m beyond honored to bring you my interview with Author of the new book entitled “Get Me to The Abbey” and person in long term recovery, Lisa Avelleyra. Lisa shares her ultra-relatable journey to and through recovery to this point with us only in the way a true story teller can and with a distinctly wry humor and an unmistakable authenticity that will no doubt have each and every one of you laughing, connecting, and feeling like we’re all old friends in Recovery, a feeling I reckon is one of the best there is. The genuine Recovery and Spiritual wisdom that emanates from Lisa’s story is truly something to behold as is the nothing short of miraculous experience she has while at The Abbey, where she finds so much more than she ever thought possible. She finds her Higher Power at The Abbey. She finds community at The Abbey. She finds hope at The Abbey. Lisa finds herself at The Abbey, and perhaps most importantly, what Lisa finds at The Abbey is that meaningful and enduring Recovery is not only possible, but it’s absolutely worth it and proof positive our Recovery stories matter so listen up.
