Paris Jackson detailed recovery from heroin and booze addiction while also celebrating five-year sobriety mark. Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late pop star Michael Jackson, has revealed, upon announcing she has reached five years of sobriety, that she is in recovery from heroin and alcohol addiction.
She made a frank post on Instagram with a video and described herself as an alcoholic and a drug addict, while expressing her gratitude at emerging from those dependencies, People magazine reported. “Today marks five years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol, to say that I’m thankful would be a poor euphemism,” she said.
Paris Jackson, a singer-songwriter, 26, added in the post, on Tuesday: “Gratitude hardly scratches 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 its glory. I get to grieve. I get to laugh. I get to dance. I get to trust.”.
Jackson’s video clip begins with images of her drinking alcohol, partying and weeping, progressing to more joyous scenes, such as dancing with friends, and then adds a message of thanks. Her aunt, La Toya Jackson, an older sister of Michael Jackson, posted, saying: “Congratulations, Paris. I’m so, so proud of you and your growth, strength and accomplishments.”.
