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.
Imagine feeling lost and finding a lifeline in the unlikeliest of places. That's what happened to Krista H., whose story is featured in this episode of The Recovery Mile.

Krista doesn't shy away from talking about making amends and the ongoing nature of recovery, highlighting that it's a continuous process, not a one-time fix. She ends on a hopeful note, urging anyone grappling with addiction to reach out for help and reminding them that they are not alone.
