Krista H.: Finding Hope Through AA and the 12 Steps
“I couldn't get past step three, which is to turn your life over to God, as you understand God... But what I found out in that process is that I wasn't alone, but that every single resentment I had, she had input, she had been there, she had known, you know. Now I know, different people have different experiences with step five. This was part of it, because for me it wasn't the burning bush or anything like that. So that's what I like on step, it says, as a result, having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, yeah, for me that's what it was.”
