Episode notes
Kristen Smith - Episode 50
Kristen Smith is the Director of House of Shiffra, a transitional house for women struggling with addiction and/or coming out of incarceration. Smith was living in active addiction since she was thirteen; starting out with marijuana and alcohol eventually led her to opiates and eventually methamphetamines. Her rock bottom was when she was living in abandoned houses and stealing cars to get by. She was arrested for auto theft, and what she says was by the grace of God, the owner did not press charges. The date of her arrest became her sober date and she will celebrate six years of sobriety this upcoming March.
