Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson reflected on her sobriety journey and how it inspires her to help others struggling with addictions.
The 27-year-old singer attended an awards ceremony at Friendly House, a rehab program for women in Los Angeles, helping them heal and providing them with a sober space to live and deal with addiction issues.
“Getting someone to develop conscious contact was arguably the greatest action I have ever taken and I pray that I can continue to help others,” Paris said in a speech she gave at the event.
“I didn’t just get my life back. I had a better one,” she said, reflecting on her sobriety journey.
Paris continued, “I say it’s funny, I feel like getting sober was a lot like getting in a car accident because everything I pushed in the backseat moved forward under the impact and today I’m learning to live life on life’s terms.”
Paris further revealed that she keeps her charitable work private because helping others is part of her spiritual beliefs.
“I’m truly grateful to be part of a movement that aligns so much with my higher purpose and the essence of my daily respite,” she noted.
“And along with these things that have progressed, I support all programs, foundations and organizations that are working to help other women do the same,” she promised.
Paris added: “So thank you guys for having me. Thank you for this moment and thank you everyone for what you’re doing. Good luck. We’ll be back.”
This came after Paris celebrated five years of “cleanliness and sobriety” earlier in January.
