During her time away from the facility, she likes to hike. Though she is not athletic, she is always taking breaks on hikes to look at plants and will be the last to arrive with a bouquet in hand. Kristin loves to meander through the forest enjoying the beauty of nature. Being at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is an absolute blessing. The woods bring such peace and tranquility to life. It allows you to disconnect from the modern world and to stay present in nature. This is the time that your mind can slow down and focus on the beauty that God has graced us with. One of her favorite quotes by Lao Tzu is “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Recovering from addiction is a very challenging process. The most important thing is taking that first step. Here at Southeast Detox, Kristin and the nursing team will walk that path to sobriety with you. There will definitely be a bouquet of blessings in the end.
