One More Day for One of Many: Kristen’s Story
Kristen was the kind of granddaughter every family dreams of: sweet, loving, and full of light. But addiction changed her almost overnight.
“It was the loneliest place, the most isolated place I've ever felt in my life. I did not feel like there was much hope in me ever getting clean,” shared Kristen.
Then, at her lowest, she found Hope is Alive.
What began as a last-chance step became the start of a brand-new life. Kristen found community, accountability, and a path forward. She fought for her sobriety, for her daughter, and for the life she once thought she’d lost forever.
And she came out the other side.
Today, she’s more than three years sober, and her transformation has had a profound impact on her entire family.
Watch the video below to hear Kristen share her journey in her own words — and listen as her grandfather reveals the heartbreak and hope their family walked through together.
