To not do something because you're afraid is the wrong thing to do exactly, push through it and do it anyway.
Ever thought prison could be a turning point for a brighter future? Shelley Winner's story is a testament to just that. Introduced to alcohol by her dad at the tender age of 11, Shelley's life spiraled into a whirlwind of addiction and drug trafficking by her 30s. Her reckless path landed her a four-year stint in a federal prison in California. But instead of being the end, this was just the beginning of her incredible transformation.
In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Shelley recounts how prison helped her get clean, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, and even earned a college degree. Today, she's not just surviving; she's thriving as a professional in a high-tech company and an advocate for formerly incarcerated individuals. Shelley's journey is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the past, there's always a chance for a brighter future.
Tune in to hear how she overcame discrimination and challenges to become a beacon of hope for others facing similar struggles.
