Imagine battling addiction while trying to hold your life together.

Kristine opens up about the early days of her struggle, starting with hard liquor and cocaine use at a young age. Her move to Santa Fe, New Mexico, only deepened her dependency on alcohol and drugs, fueled by the stress of her life at the time.
She paints a vivid picture of the dark moments she endured, including time spent in a drug house where she witnessed the destructive power of addiction firsthand.

She attended aftercare treatment and stayed sober for a year before moving to Las Vegas with her family to start anew. Kristine's experience is a powerful reminder that with the right support and mindset, overcoming even the toughest challenges is possible.
Her story is one of resilience, highlighting the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Tune in to hear Kristine W.'s inspiring journey and discover how she turned her life around.
