You don’t know how sick you are until you start getting better.
Robin G., sober since June 17th, 2004, shares her powerful testament to survival, healing, and grace.
Robin grew up surrounded by instability, mental illness, and alcoholism. She spent her early years hiding secrets, full of fear, and living in fantasy. The moment she first drank, she felt like she could finally breathe. What followed was a long descent into addiction, including years of alcoholism, crack cocaine, mental hospitals, shelters, and homelessness. Her family feared she wouldn’t survive.
After one final relapse in May 2004, Robin hit a breaking point: “Either kill me or help me.” In rehab, a doctor finally addressed her untreated bipolar disorder, and for the first time, she began to heal. At 60 days sober, she got her first home since 1999, and her sponsor helped her take the Steps that would “put her hand in the hand of God.”
Through willingness, daily action, and the support of women in recovery, often reached by pay phones and burner phones, Robin rebuilt her life from the ground up. Her children eventually invited her to Knoxville, where she slowly repaired the relationships, which she once feared were lost forever.
Today, Robin speaks about service, spiritual growth, meditation, and the “language of the heart” that helped her go from isolated and afraid to deeply connected. Her story is raw, honest, and overflowing with the kind of grace that can only grow out of struggle.
This is an unforgettable journey from homelessness to hope, and a reminder that no one is too far gone for recovery.
