I attended several Recovery Church meetings and became extremely interested in what this small group of people was doing to search for the God of their individual beliefs.  The group met in person on a weekly basis, one night each week, and then America was hit full blast with COVID.

Almost immediately, Pastor Max was able to turn the in-person meetings into Zoom meetings.  I found this a special blessing because now I could continue participating and learning scriptures in the comfort of my home.  I have remained an active member at Recovery Church Online.

It is such a joy seeing people become comfortable in their own skin again all due to the grace of God.

My name is Kristine, and I am a grateful recovering alcoholic. My sobriety date is September 4, 2024. I grew up in the Methodist Church, following Jesus, teaching Sunday school, and nurturing a lifelong passion for children and education. However, as the pain of past trauma deepened, I found myself struggling with alcoholism. My spiritual awakening began the day I made the decision to check myself into detox. I was exhausted—physically, mentally, and spiritually—and knew I could no longer continue living that way.

Through recovery, the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, and working the Twelve Steps, I found my way back to Jesus. Fully surrendering to Him has brought me a freedom I once believed was impossible. Today, I am blessed to live a life of purpose—serving others both within and beyond the recovery community.

I currently reside in Voorhees, New Jersey, and am the proud mother of my daughter, Madelyn. My empathetic, compassionate, and calm approach guides my work as a teacher, mentor, and leader, making each day deeply meaningful and fulfilling

I am 57 years old and married. My sober date is March 23, 2019. For many years, I knew alcohol was a problem in my life. I tried countless times to quit, but each attempt ended the same way. By the grace of God, I was spared the consequences that often come with addiction.  

Everything changed after one night of heavy drinking left me in severe pain and unable to sleep. At 2:00 a.m., I cried out to God, asking Him to take away the pain and remove my desire to drink. I promised that if He did, I would never drink again.  God heard my prayer. The pain stopped, and the craving was gone. Since that night, I have not had a single drink. It has now been over six years, and I remain sober grateful every day for God's mercy and faithfulness.

Hi! I'm Wendy, and I'm an alcoholic. 

After years of using alcohol to cope with life’s challenges and hide what was really going on inside, God’s grace gave me a new, sober life in recovery. Through my Higher Power and the love and support of the recovery community—both in AA and beyond—I’ve learned to not just survive, but thrive, even in the hardest seasons of life. They always show up for me when I need them most. 

Today, my greatest purpose is to be of service to others, sharing the hope and freedom I’ve found. I’ve learned that I can only keep this beautiful gift of recovery by giving it away. I wouldn’t be living this amazing, joy-filled sober life without the active, loving presence of God guiding me every step of the way.
