Did you know every 39 minutes, someone dies in a drunk-driving accident in the United States? That's about 37 people a day.

We know drinking and driving is deadly, yet it continues to happen across the country.

According to one estimate, on average, those who drive drunk will be intoxicated 80 times before being caught. In addition, studies show the odds of being involved in a fatal auto accident increase with each additional DUI arrest.

It’s a fate Shauna Zeuske tempted again and again.

In 2015, she was arrested for driving under the influence. That DUI was her third. Within a month, she’d received two more and ended up with a three-year jail sentence. She was able to get some time shaved off her sentence, but within six months of returning home, she got her sixth DUI.

When she went back to jail, she told her public defender she wanted to go to The Salvation Army. They allowed it, so she entered the Adult Rehabilitation Center program. These residential programs provide spiritual, emotional and social assistance to individuals who are experiencing a variety of social, emotional and spiritual challenges, including issues relating to substance abuse. Shauna feared she wouldn’t be able to get sober, but she stuck with it, because as she said, “she desperately wanted to stop drinking.”

And in 2021, she graduated from The Salvation Army San Diego Adult Rehabilitation Center.

She went on to manage the Transitional Living Center at The Salvation Army Door of Hope Rady Campus in San Diego, helping other women looking for transformation too.

And today, she works as a financial controller for a construction company. She recently married and continues to sponsor and mentor others through their own challenges.

Shauna is on the show to share more about her own experience on the road to recovery.
