It doesn't matter where you came from. Addiction can happen to anyone.
Imagine being a top student in college and then finding yourself running drugs for a cartel. That’s the shocking tale of Megan Racer, who shares her rollercoaster journey on this episode of 'Roll Call with Chappy'. Hosted by Peter Meyerhoff, Megan opens up about how her search for validation led her down a dangerous path. She relied heavily on relationships for a sense of worth, often choosing partners based on the lifestyle they could provide rather than genuine love.
This need for external validation pushed her to make choices that would eventually land her in prison. Megan's story takes a dramatic turn when she quits her job and accepts an offer from her drug dealer to run errands for the cartel. Imagine driving to and from Mexico with your two kids in the backseat, all while transporting drugs. It wasn’t long before Megan was caught at the border with 89 pounds of methamphetamine in her truck.
Separated from her children and facing serious charges, she accepted a plea deal and spent 14 months in prison. During her time behind bars, Megan had a chance to reflect and commit to changing her life. She enrolled in a drug program and emerged determined to rebuild. Today, she works in recovery, using her experience to help others find their way back from addiction.
Megan’s story is a raw and powerful reminder of how addiction can derail lives but also how resilience and support can pave the way to redemption. If you’re looking for a tale of transformation and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
