Aug. 8, 2024 – Rachael Keegan says childhood trauma led her to addiction.

And along the way, she says she abused every kind of drug, from opioids to meth.

“At a certain point, it turned into, I just threw all these substances in me trying to take myself out. Like I honestly didn’t care if I died,” Keegan said.

Keegan says her worst moment is what finally led her to get clean.

“I burned my life completely to the ground. I ended up in a rock bottom moment where it was pretty traumatic. I had a situation where I was drugged. I believe I was raped and I woke up under a garbage pile,” she said.

But Rachael now says she’s been sober for four years and councils as a part of The Hope Shot. Former NBA and reality TV star Lamar Odom told the group his story of addiction and the overdose that almost killed him.

He says opening up to others has kept him off drugs since 2015, when he ended up in a coma.

“Helps my sobriety. So anything that helps with my sobriety, I’m totally for it,” said Odom.
