Episode #42 | Lisa — From Addiction to Freedom, Bay Area Recovery & Radical Self-Growth

In this episode of the Fourth Street Live Podcast, Jacob sits down with Lisa to talk about her journey from addiction to long-term recovery—and the reality of what it actually takes to stay clean.

Lisa opens up about growing up in the Bay Area, getting clean in Contra Costa County, and eventually moving to Reno in search of something different. She shares what recovery looked like early on—navigating cliques, loneliness, and learning how to build real relationships from scratch.

This isn’t a sugar-coated story.

Lisa dives into the hard truth about recovery culture, including toxic dynamics in the rooms, learning boundaries, and what it means to truly feel safe—especially as a woman in recovery. She breaks down how addiction shows up in more than just drugs, and how healing requires more than just putting substances down.

From getting hit by a car while using, to finally surrendering and rebuilding her life, Lisa’s story is about growth, accountability, independence, and learning how to thrive alone before building anything with anyone else.

This episode touches on:

• Bay Area recovery vs Reno recovery
• Why making friends in sobriety is harder than people admit
• Boundaries, self-worth, and personal growth
• The difference between isolation and solitude
• Dating, relationships, and staying clean
• Why surrender—not strength—is the key to recovery

Real, unfiltered, and honest—this is one of the most raw conversations yet.
