Overview
The Pit of Despair is a raw and riveting account of one woman's triumphant journey from the abyss of addiction through the hope-filled world of recovery.
Lisa Jo B. intimately guides the audience through her struggles with sex, cocaine, and food addiction, her near-fatal relapse, and her ultimate redemption through a conscious connection with God via a 12-step program.

Lisa Jo's vivid, emotional storytelling captures the devastating depths of addiction and the transformative joy of recovery, acting as a beacon of hope for those entangled in the thorny brambles of addiction.
