Jelly Roll described how he found comfort in the support offered by AA and NA, stating, “I’ve never been more inspired than when leaving an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting or a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.” He believes everyone should attend such meetings, even those who have never struggled with addiction, noting that they can provide valuable life lessons and emotional experiences.
His personal journey with sobriety has also influenced his music, particularly his song “I Am Not Okay.” In previous interviews, Jelly Roll has opened up about his struggle with substance abuse and how he has used marijuana to help him stay away from harder drugs. He expressed that without marijuana, he might have turned back to more dangerous substances. He firmly believes that cannabis has played a crucial role in managing his anxiety and maintaining his sobriety.
“I get in trouble for this all the time, but my stance on marijuana will always be the same: I believe marijuana has helped me in so many regards,” he said. Jelly Roll continues to advocate for the benefits he finds in marijuana while navigating his recovery journey.
