Sober since age 18, Lisa was the Saturday Night Speaker at the Assembly.
She introduces herself as an Alcoholic and an addict. She had been coming to the Assembly for 3 years.
Not very polished but sincere. Grew up in Savannah. Funny story about her last friend was a roach in the dorm bathroom she used to talk to.
She hit bottom at age 18 going to UGA biting and kicking a police officer in a blackout.
Got sober in Athens, GA. Then moved back to Savannah, back to Athens, got married, moved to Florida for a year then to Folkston, GA (due west of Savannah).
Got a male sponsor almost by accident. Strong finish after slow start.
