"I couldn't do it alone: finding God in my recovery."
In this personal episode of Recovery Rocks with Kelly, Kelly shares how finding God became an important part of her recovery. After years of trying to control her drinking and carry everything on her own, she realized she needed help—and that surrender wasn't weakness.
Kelly opens up about a frightening health crisis that landed her in the ICU with liver failure, the relapses that followed, and the journey that eventually led to 11 years of sobriety. Along the way, she discovered that recovery wasn't only about letting go of alcohol—it was also about giving God her fear, shame, worry, and need to control everything.
For Kelly, surrender isn't giving up. It's trusting God with the things she can no longer carry on her own. Through recovery, she's learning to let go of the past, forgive herself, ask for help, and trust God one day at a time. Faith hasn't made every struggle disappear, but it reminds her that she doesn't have to walk through the hard days alone. No matter where you are in your recovery, you don't have to have everything figured out today. Sometimes all you need is enough faith and courage to take the next right step.

Faith doesn't mean there won't be storms. It means you don't have to walk through them alone.
