Shay Walters shares her transformation from a nine-time felon and drug addict to a recovery advocate, behavioral health center owner, and passionate follower of Christ. Her journey demonstrates how hitting rock bottom became the foundation for a purposeful life dedicated to helping others find freedom.
• From party girl to full-blown addict by age 19 despite having a supportive family
• Accumulated nine felony drug charges before being sent to prison
• Found God through an AA sponsor who visited the jail regularly
• Drew strength from Scripture and prayer during her darkest moments
• Now celebrates six years of sobriety and runs a behavioral health center
• Became the first felon ever hired at her local courthouse
• Uses her testimony to help others struggling with addiction
• Believes surrendering to God is the key to breaking addiction's chains
• Works with her husband to reach over a million followers on social media platforms
• Finds purpose in turning her painful past into a ministry that gives others hope
If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, remember there is hope. Surrender is the first step - as Shea says, "Stay in your Word, hit your knees, pray, do the next right thing."
