She began drinking in seventh grade and quickly progressed to using hard drugs like GHB, cocaine, and meth. Despite her heavy substance use, Sam managed to maintain a high-functioning lifestyle as a varsity athlete and spinning instructor.
Her turning point came with a SWAT raid that led to a 27-month prison sentence. But even prison wasn't enough to get her clean.
