In her episode 'Focus on Hope', Elizabeth shares her personal journey of maintaining sobriety during these trying times and offers practical advice for others striving to do the same.

Elizabeth also stresses the need for community and communication in recovery, recommending online meetings, outdoor group gatherings, and regular check-ins with recovery friends and sponsors. Her compassionate and encouraging words remind us that even in the darkest moments, there's always a glimmer of hope.
