“Getting sober ain’t always the indication that life is perfect,” Jackson stated. “A few years in, it all got very, very hard for what felt like an eternity.”
She further elaborated, “I didn’t have the same survival skills I was used to having to cope. I had to learn to live life on life’s terms.” Jackson also highlighted the mental health challenges she has confronted during her sobriety, specifically mentioning several conditions.
“Treatment-resistant major depressive disorder is a b–ch, so is PTSD and OCD,” she expressed. “If you’ve got this s–t or anything of the sort, you’re not alone. Hang in there, and if no one’s told you they love you today, I love you.”
This candid post follows Jackson’s continued efforts to celebrate her recovery milestones. In January 2025, she marked five years of sobriety with another Instagram message.
“Hi, I’m PK, and I’m an alcoholic and a heroin addict,” she wrote. “Today marks 5 years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that I’m thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface.”
In that post, Jackson reflected on the daily experiences she has been able to reconnect with since achieving sobriety.
“I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat. I get to feel heartbreak in all its glory,” she noted. “I get to grieve. I get to laugh. I get to dance. I get to trust. I feel the sun on my skin, and it’s warm.”
In addition to her advocacy for mental health, Jackson has been building a diverse career in entertainment. She has released music as a solo artist, including her 2020 debut album Wilted, while also pursuing roles in acting and modeling.
