Welcome to Focused and Free!

The purpose of this website is to help people become and remain
"Focused on the Truth that sets us Free."

Karl RHELLO! My name is Karl and I am a recovered alcoholic/addict. On January 1st, 2010, I celebrated ten years of sobriety. I could not have done this on my own. It is only by the power and the grace of God that I can make such a claim. All the credit, all the glory, belongs to God. And yes, when I say God, I am talking about God as he is revealed in the Scriptures of the Judeo-Christian Bible. My "life message" is all about; recovery, restoration, and renewal, by faith in Christ.

 All About Focused and Free

Initially, I built this website simply as a means to share my faith in God through Christ. Today, my purpose is to help to those who are actively participating in a 12-Step program of recovery and are struggling with the nebulous "God as we understand Him" issue that is so prevalent in many 12-step groups. To that end, this site features content that focuses upon the Christian principles of the 12-Steps.
