What happens when the chains of addiction seem unbreakable--and the path to freedom appears impossible?

At twenty years old, Paula Robbins found herself standing on a balcony in Sacramento, staring at the trees and pleading with a God she wasn't sure existed. Years of blackouts, broken promises, and self-destruction had led her to this moment of desperate surrender. She was drowning in the same patterns that had claimed her family for generations.

But sometimes, the most profound transformations begin with a single prayer.

Hitchhiking into Recovery is the raw, unflinching story of one woman's journey from the wreckage of addiction to a life of purpose, connection, and hope. Through vivid storytelling that spans childhood trauma, teenage recklessness, and the miraculous discovery of recovery, Paula reveals how four essential pillars of connection became her roadmap to healing:

• Spiritual Community - Finding belonging among fellow travelers
• Service from the Spirit - Discovering purpose through helping others
• Spiritual Mentorship - Learning from those who walked the path before
• Daily Divine Alignment - Cultivating a relationship with something greater

This isn't just a recovery memoir--it's a blueprint for anyone seeking to break free from destructive patterns and build a life worth living. With humor, honesty, and hard-won wisdom, Paula proves that no matter how far you've fallen, redemption is possible.

For anyone who has ever wondered if they could truly change, this book offers proof that healing happens--one connection at a time.
