Ex-convict and former basketball star Chris Monroe got addicted to drugs while on a Division 1 scholarship at the University of Idaho. After quitting school, he went overseas to play professional basketball - an opportunity he sabotaged because he "couldn't get high."

He returned to his hometown in southern California but later moved to Texas to be close to his family, who had relocated there. It didn't take long for him to wear out his welcome.

Don't miss Part 6 of "The Second Shot" with attorney Benson Varghese and Chris Monroe, who talk about his addiction and how his parents finally kicked him out because they couldn't handle him anymore.

He also shares an important lesson he learned in federal prison while serving time for drug conspiracy.
