Jelly Roll's Journey: From Addiction to Redemption and Success

Country Star Shares His Struggles and Triumphs, Continues to Give Back to the Community

Country music star Jelly Roll, who has been open about his past struggles with drug addiction, has revealed that he has changed his relationship with alcohol and no longer sees it as a prerequisite for drug use.
Jelly Roll has been arrested over 40 times for various drug charges, but says the birth of his daughter Bailee, now 15, was a turning point in his life, leading him to kick his cocaine habit.
Despite his past, Jelly Roll has found success in the music industry, winning the New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards and receiving two Grammy nominations.
Jelly Roll still occasionally drinks and smokes weed, and attends AA meetings when he feels he needs support, but does not claim to be part of the program out of respect for those who have completely quit drugs and alcohol.
Jelly Roll spends time visiting various centers across the country where he brings warm meals, plays some songs and encourages those in recovery and youth in juvenile centers.
