Krissy F - My Painful Past is the Key to Helping Others - Meeting 263

Only by the grace of God, Krissy F is still alive. She has been sober since December 6, 2006, but stayed sick sober for a long time, suffering from untreated alcoholism without realizing it. Krissy did the program 'her way,' avoiding certain steps and excluding God. For 14.5 years, she hung on by 'not drinking and going to meetings.' When she finally hit rock bottom emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, she surrendered to the 12 Step Program and embraced her need for God. This surrender allowed her to live with power, love, and a transformative way of life, enabling Krissy to be happy, joyous, and free.  Today she speaks powerfully on how her painful past is the key to helping others.Reco12 is all about exploring the common threads of addiction and sharing tools and hope from those on a similar path.
