From Prison to Purpose

from Glasgow News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Billy McKay, a Glasgow native turned recovery mentor, shares his harrowing journey from addiction and prison violence to faith and healing in his debut memoir, “Who Turned the Light On.” At 62, he reveals how trauma—not addiction itself—is the real culprit behind destructive cycles, and how recovery is possible even when hope seems lost. Now using his past to guide others, McKay donates book proceeds to prisons and recovery groups, and will appear on The Jim King Show to spread his message of transformation.
