Paris Jackson reveals how chronic loneliness at age 8 sparked a decades-long addiction to heroin and fentanyl that nearly cost her voice and life. In this raw conversation, she explains why no intervention worked until she was ready, how she survived multiple suicide attempts, and why true recovery required spiritual surrender, inner child healing, and rejecting symptom-focused Western medicine for holistic health practices like rock climbing, somatic work, and ECT therapy. Chronic loneliness beginning at age 8 became a through-line driving Paris toward substance abuse as a survival mechanism to manage unmanageable thoughts and feelings.
