Recovery Spotlight
Lisa Contee
My name is Lisa and I am an alcoholic and drug addict. This is something I will say for the rest of my life. And I say this without shame or embarrassment, I am proud to be in recovery.
I came from the South Shore, and left a life of insanity to come to the Boston area and begin my recovery journey.
That was 25 years ago. My journey has included many ups and downs, including relapse, loss, and feeling my feelings. On the other hand, I have dear, true friends, I have learned incredible things about myself, my life is meaningful and I can feel my feelings!
I am grateful that I can say I have 11 years clean and sober. My journey doesn’t ever have to end! I am loving my life now and trying to give back.
I love the work I do with the Sober Shuttle. I have had amazing experiences with the team and our clients. It truly fills my heart.
Recovery is more than just a personal experience for me. I am a recovery coach as well. It is my responsibility to give back and I’m so grateful that I can.
Being in recovery is the single best decision I ever made for my life, I’m excited about what’s next!
