Hitchhiking into Recovery (A Journey of Connection, Healing, and Hope)

A raw, soul-baring memoir, this book chronicles Paula Robbins' harrowing yet redemptive journey from addiction, abuse, and generational trauma to clarity, connection, and spiritual awakening. With unflinching honesty and poetic insight, the author reflects on a childhood marked by chaos, the numbing grip of substances, and the transformative power of community and grace. Central to her healing are the Four Pillars of Connection—guiding principles that illuminate a path forward for anyone struggling with addiction, disconnection, or despair. More than a story of survival, this is a call to wholeness, offering hope and inspiration to those seeking freedom from their past. With vulnerability, courage, and profound compassion, the author invites readers to witness not only what it takes to heal, but what it truly means to live.
