Paris Jackson celebrates another chapter in his sobriety journey.
The only daughter of fire Michael Jackson marked five years of abstinence from alcohol and heroin with a powerful message about what it means for her to experience all the ups and downs that life has to offer.
“Hi, my name is PK and I am an alcoholic and heroin addict. Today marks 5 years of abstinence and sobriety from all drugs and alcohol,” the 26-year-old wrote on Instagram January 7. “To say I’m grateful would be an understatement. Gratitude only scratches the surface. It's because I'm sober that I can smile today. I can make music. I discover the joy of loving my dogs and my cat. I feel grief in all its glory.
“I can mourn. I manage to laugh. I can dance. I can trust,” Paris continued. “I feel the sun on my skin and it’s warm. I discovered that life goes on whether I'm sober or not, but today I can show up. Here's a little taste of what's been possible through my sobriety, and my god, I can't believe I almost blew it. THANKS.”
