We were sitting at the backyard of someone’s house, and a crack pipe was being passed around with meth in it and we were all taking hits of it,” she shared. “[At that point, I] had been smoking meth now for a little while.

Not every day, but just on and off because it was new.” Sharna added that she didn’t think she was particularly “hooked” on meth, but it was “definitely at that time a party drug going around all the time, and I was partying pretty much, three to four days a week.” “I was sitting there watching this pipe pass around and the universe, God — whoever you call it — gave me this moment and I saw everybody sitting opposite me with complete clarity of what my future looked like,” Sharna explained to Brian and Randy. “Here I was 17 years old, high awake for three days, watching 20 somethings and maybe even young 30 somethings passing around this crack pipe just waiting to get a little bit more out of it.” “I realized that I had come from being an Australian champion ballroom dancer, I represented my country at the World Championships.

I was an athlete, the best in the country at the time, and because of a knee injury I fell off,” Sharna said.
