Amazing storyteller

I stumbled across Busy Living Sober and it has so much content! Everything from sobriety, meditation, Mom info and more. You don’t want to miss the bi-weekly episodes.

Exceptional Sponsor and Coach

To Whom It May Concern:

When I was presented with the opportunity to provide a testimonial for Elizabeth Chance, I could barely wait to get onto a computer.

I have known Elizabeth since March of 2021. I was so fortunate as to have found the Morning Hope Group of AA, which was founded by Elizabeth. This group started during the pandemic as an answer to staying sober during a global lockdown. I found sobriety during Covid and the Morning Hope group was my first experience with AA. In August of 2022, I asked Elizabeth if she would be my sponsor. Her nickname is Bizzy, as in "Busy," and she indeed is busy in sobriety. I worried that she would not have the time to take on another sponsee, but she made the time for me.

For the past two years, Elizabeth has opened my eyes to a completely different way of looking at almost every aspect of my life. Through her sponsorship and the 12 Steps, Elizabeth walked with me through many scary changes I needed to make, and to face my internal mirror with courage and grace. I am an Executive and my work poses many triggers in terms of my habits for dealing with my character defects. I am a single mother, and with that comes the challenges of raising a teen and managing co-parenting with her father. I am a sister and a daughter who is the glue of my family. Elizabeth has had personal experience in all the same walks of life. She guides me professionally. She pushes me to hold uncomfortable work conversations with courage. She holds me to task when I try to run away from professional accountability. She encourages me to push forward toward my professional goals, which I have put on hold due to fear. Elizabeth points me to the 12 Steps when I feel overwhelmed as a mother, and she reminds me that the back and forth between parent and teen is a healthy part of growing up. Elizabeth has helped me come to a place of forgiveness and peace with my ex-husband. Finally, and most importantly, Elizabeth has introduced me to my Higher Power in a way I never knew.

It is rare to find someone as well-rounded as Elizabeth Chance. She is a powerful and brilliant businesswoman, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a mentor, and a sober leader. I needed someone who could wear the many hats it takes to be a CEO in my complex life. I know for a fact that God guided me to her. It is now my job to pay forward all the gifts I have received from working with Elizabeth. I only hope I can help someone even half as well as Elizabeth has helped me.

Yours truly,
Lisa C.
