Paris Jackson has revealed her addiction to alcohol and heroin while celebrating five years of sobriety.
Paris Jackson Reveals Her Addiction To Alcohol & Heroin
Earlier this week, Jackson took to her Instagram feed to share a video with her more than 5.4 million followers. In the caption of her post, Jackson wrote:
“hi, i’m pk and i’m an alcoholic and a heroin addict. today marks 5 years clean & sober from all drugs and alcohol. to say that i’m thankful would be a poor euphemism…”
As she continued, Jackson explained that the feeling of gratitude would “hardly [scratche] the surface.”
“… it’s because i’m sober that i get to smile today. i get to make music. i get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat. i get to feel heartbreak in all it’s glory. i get to grieve. i get to laugh. i get to dance. i get to trust. i feel the sun on my skin and it’s warm,” she continued. ” i’ve found that life keeps happening regardless of whether i’m sober or not, but today i get to show up for it…”
Before concluding her message, Jackson told fans she was sharing “a little snapshot of what has been possible” because of her sobriety.
“and my god i can’t believe i almost missed it all,” she added.
According to the New York Post, Jackson has been candid about “her addictions in the past.” However, her most recent message was the first time she explicitly revealed her addiction to heroin.
