Lisa, whose article appears in the December 2024 issue of Grapevine, talks to Don and Olis about starting AA in early December and staying sober through the holidays. As a wife, mother, daughter and sister she's learned to put sobriety first. There's listener feedback from Ryan and Shari too.

The AA Grapevine Podcast reached a milestone this week—exceeding one million downloads. Thank you listeners!
