Roxanne grew up a wanderer, and not exactly by choice.
She and her sister raised themselves while their mother struggled with a heroin addiction. As a pre-teen, Roxanne started acting out in school and skipping classes. Soon she was shipped off to live with her aunt and uncle in California. A few years later, she returned to Arizona.
Then the partying started.
"I was single, 18, doing whatever I liked, living the party life," says Roxanne. Then Roxanne had her first child at age 21. A year or so after her child was born, she made a choice she would later regret: trying meth for the first time. It wasn't long before she was hooked.
