I couldn’t be more grateful that you decided to tune in today for an inspiring interview with, Lisa Avelleyra, Sober 6 years tomorrow as a matter of fact!

Please be advised.  My friend, who was one of the recovered alcoholics who guided me through the 12 Steps & who we will call, "Mrs. Jones," shares about her experiences drinking, getting sober and today, a recovered alcoholic. She explains some misconceptions and some confusions about Alcoholism, AA and The Big Book through her own experience.  Her Cat , ‘Netty’ will often chime in during the interview.
