As a teenager, she was pulled into escorting through her mother’s boyfriend, entering a dark world of exploitation, drugs, and survival. What started with partying and pills eventually spiraled into heroin addiction. At one point, Kristine was using heroin while pregnant. Her life became a cycle of trafficking, abusive relationships, overdoses, and near-death experiences. She even survived a terrifying medical crisis where her organs began shutting down. But Kristine’s story didn’t end there. After hitting rock bottom and nearly losing everything, she entered treatment and began rebuilding her life through sobriety, faith, and helping others struggling with addiction. Today she works in recovery and speaks openly about trauma, addiction, shame, and redemption. This is a powerful story of survival, accountability, and transformation. #AddictionRecovery #HeroinAddiction #HumanTrafficking #SobrietyJourney #RiseAbove Learn more about your ad choices.
