Moving On

Hi. My name is Krysten and I am not an alcoholic. I was, however, raised in a 12 Step program. During the ages between 9 and 15 1/5, my mother was in active recovery and attended AA meetings regularly. Most evenings, I could be found in the back room of a little building in Oildale, CA—sitting next to the Mr. Coffee Maker. Sometimes I’d do my homework, sometimes I’d read a book, but most of the time I would just…listen.

It was within the walls of that little building at 106 Lincoln Avenue where I learned just about everything I know about God, faith, prayer, patience, tolerance, kindness, hope, meditation, and self-care. It was within those walls where the parts that make up my spiritual foundation were built.

I’ve decided to start a new series on YouTube called “Growing Up in a 12 Step Program.” Below, you’ll find the first episode in which I read from the daily meditation book from Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go.
