Sherry charms us with her no nonsense, right in your face, say it how it is comedy. She touches on something that resonated for both Lizzie and I and that is being ashamed of the wrong things - such as, HOW DARE YOU SAY I'M IN RECOVERY! I am a party animal. We live, we learn and we deeply encourage you to listen all the way to the end for this episode's challenge!

Enlighten Up: Featuring Hilarapist Lee!

Christopher is the perfect HRP Graduate to walk us through the other side of the looking glass. This is an adventure of insanity, the stigma about being tough and capable, and the toll that active addiction can take on a person's mind and body. Christopher delights us with his crazy hijinks and wild tales...all we can say is, "Thank goodness he's in recovery!"

You do NOT want to miss this. If you listen to one - make it this one! We laughed so hard we actually drew tears!  Ever heard of an over-functioner? Are you one? Or are you an under-functioner? Lizzie and Karina, two self-proclaimed under-functioners have a blast listening to Angie's description about her over-functioning ways, dating woes, and the "transparency" of children.
