Millions of Americans struggle with drug and alcohol dependency. At a time when a faltering economy, high unemployment and national security threats heighten the stress and anxiety felt by many Americans, substance abuse issues can become more prevalent, causing individuals to spiral out of control, destroying lives and families through a never-ending cycle of dysfunction, denial and violence. Yet substance abuse is by no means a modern problem. Passages from the Bible recount the destructive influence alcohol can have on a person's ability to maintain healthy, loving relationships. As a recovering alcoholic with two decades of sobriety, Janine Turner discusses her own battle with alcoholism while sharing a powerful and inspiring message of hope and faith that substance abuse can be successfully conquered.

Janine has shared her message of hope and faith with numerous churches and faith-based organizations, and in this presentation she shares stories from her own life as well as the spiritual lessons that have comforted and sustained her.

A Wilhelmina model at 15 and a Hollywood actress at 17, Janine began her career at an early age. But success didn't come easily.
