Jax Taylor Reveals 20-Year Struggle with Cocaine Addiction and Celebrates Sobriety

The reality TV star opens up about his addiction, recent rehab experiences, and efforts to rebuild his life for his son.

Jax Taylor disclosed his two-decade battle with cocaine addiction during a candid interview on Bravo's 'Hot Mic' podcast, revealing he is now 83 days sober.
Taylor admitted to using alcohol alongside cocaine, noting he gave up both substances to maintain his sobriety, marking the longest period of abstinence in his life since age 21.
His addiction struggles intensified during his 2024 separation and divorce from Brittany Cartwright, with Taylor citing a 'rock bottom' moment involving an incident witnessed by their 3-year-old son, Cruz.
Cartwright, who filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, expressed skepticism about Taylor's recovery, describing his treatment efforts as minimal while acknowledging the trauma caused to their family.
Taylor emphasized his commitment to recovery, therapy, and being a better father, attributing his motivation to his son and his desire to rebuild trust and stability in his life.
