MAMA June revealed she’s living a ‘sober life’ just two months after checking into rehab for her crack addiction.
The reality TV star has been clean ever since but the Shannon family therapist has warned her family of a possible relapse.
Mama June – whose real name is June Shannon – took to Instagram to boast about how well she’s doing lately.
Along with a picture of her wearing a blinged-out blue mask, the 40-year-old mom shared: “Up way too early but my nails and my feet n my hair need attention and a busy day.”
She finished the post off with the hashtags sober life and need2bpampered.
Mama June and her boyfriend, Geno Doak, remained sober after their 30-day rehab stint, but the family’s therapist exclusively told The Sun that a relapse “is happening.”
June and Geno, checked into a rehab facility in Florida on the season finale of Mama June: From Not to Hot: Family Crisis.
The family’s therapist Dr. Ish Major exclusively told The Sun how the two were sober as of May 2020.
He said: “Geno has been the driving force in their sobriety. He has come in and said, ‘We got to do better.’ She has followed his lead.”
But though they were sober after the stint, Dr. Ish expects the two to relapse.
He explained: “Relapse is a part of recovery. I do suspect there will be one. They’re a couple of months out and their recovery is still very, very fragile.
“Relapse is happening, it’s coming. We know that. Three weeks, three months, six months, it’s happening.”
He continued: “What I want to see is June build up relapse prevention skills. I want her to have enough good things in her life so when that day comes, she can make an easy decision. I’m not going to do as much because I got a lot of good stuff I don’t want to lose right now.
“Hopefully she will gain good things for when relapse comes. Hopefully they are still adherent to treatment.”
On the season finale of Mama June: From Not to Hot: Family Crisis, which Mama June revealed has been picked up for a fifth season, she agreed to enter rehab.
She explained of hitting “rock bottom”: “It has been f**ked up. It got to the point where being able to live and being able to afford a hotel was not possible.
“We started sleeping in the Suburban, for a few nights we ended up staying there.”
Geno admitted the two spent $150,000 in six months on crack cocaine.
Geno said of if they continue to their “vicious” lifestyle: “We’re not going to be alive.”
During the mom of four’s two-week update in rehab, she explained: “I feel like I have spent a lot of money. I do have an addictive personality. When I think of a drug addict, I don’t think about myself. I was managing everyday, but I knew to manage that dope had to be there when I woke up.
“We would go on a binge for a couple of days then take a break for 3-4 days. My kidneys and my liver have kind of [been affected.]”
By her and Geno’s graduation, June was able to admit she is a drug addict.
She said: “The old June is back! I’m feeling good. Being back to my old self. I am definitely an addict. Nobody can tell what six months looks like. You can only take it a day at a time.
“The world better watch out. I’m back b****es. Here we go.”
