She Lost Everything to Heroin—But Found Recovery & Purpose | Powerful Addiction Transformation Story
Meghan’s story is one of the most emotional, raw, and impactful episodes we’ve ever filmed on Rise Above.
After years of opioid addiction, relapse cycles, losing her teeth, stealing to survive, and eventually living in a tent community—Meghan was ready to end her life. Instead, she made one call that saved everything.
Inside this episode we talk about:
Her descent from partying → pills → sniffing heroin → injecting
What actually triggered her relapse AFTER years sober
How dishonesty and “grey area using” almost took her out
The moment she raised her hand in AA and had to reset her sober date
Why secrets = the real relapse
How emotional sobriety, service, God & community changed her entire life
Today, Meghan is nearly 6 years sober, a professional speaker, a coach, and she helps others reclaim their power, heal trauma, and build real inner peace.
There are thousands of people right now who feel like THEY are beyond repair. Her story proves the opposite. If you’re struggling—don’t give up before the miracle happens.
