Lucky Lisa| From Child Drug Use to 9 Years of Recovery

Lucky Lisa’s story is one of survival, resilience, and radical transformation. Growing up in the 1970s, she was introduced to substances far too young—drugged for the first time in adolescence and smoking cocaine by the age of 13. What followed was a long and painful road shaped by trauma, addiction, and the normalization of chaos at a time when no one was talking about recovery the way we do today.Now, Lucky Lisa stands on the other side with 9 years of recovery. In this episode, she shares what it took to break free, rebuild her life, and stay sober through every season. Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how early addiction begins or how deep it runs, healing is possible—and recovery can become the greatest chapter of all.
