Cheyenne Jackson Relapses After A Decade Sobriety
In a brave move, “American Horror Story” star Cheyenne Jackson took to Instagram to share her recent struggle with addiction. The actor admitted that he had relapsed after nearly a decade of sobriety. “VULNERABLE is how I feel today,” she captioned her lengthy Instagram post alongside a photo of herself in a car.
The 47-year-old revealed that he has borne the brunt of his shame, saying, “After almost a decade of sobriety, I fell off the wagon. I have carried a lot of shame. Afraid to share. But I know it might help someone, so here I go.
He admitted that he didn’t want to “disappoint” those who saw him as a role model for living a sober lifestyle, so he kept his problems to himself. “I took my eyes off the ball. I stopped doing what I needed to do to keep myself on track with my integrity,” he added.

In her emotional post, Jackson listed various things to blame for her relapse, such as the passing of her “Call Me Kat” co-star, Leslie Jordan, who died last October of sudden cardiac dysfunction, and the current state of the world. “I can blame Covid. I can blame the state of the world—mass shootings. A divided nation. The death of my co-star,” he shared. However, Jackson admitted that he thought he had “everything handled” and acknowledged that he was “a work in progress.”
The actress later expressed gratitude to actor Jamie Lee Curtis, who has been vocal about her addiction and sobriety, and thanked her support system. She ended her post with a message of hope for those struggling with addiction, writing, “If you’re out there struggling, you’re not alone, and there are solutions. I love you. And I love myself today, and it feels good to say. #progressnotperfection.”

The past is irrelevant, and the future is unknown.” He also shared a powerful poem by Kalidasa to inspire him.
Meanwhile, Jackson’s husband, Jason Landau, also shared a touching message, expressing his love and admiration for his partner. He commented, “Your power, truth, and willingness are why I fell in love with you. Today I love you more.”

The “Call Me Kat” actress also shared that she and her husband Landau, whom she met at an AA meeting, had moments where they thought about having a glass of wine. “Jason and I have had moments where we’re like, ‘If we had a glass of wine right now, no one would blame us,'” she shared.
However, he added that they realize they are better off without “alcohol” and invest their time and energy in other activities and passions. “It usually involves being with the kids, doing something to take your mind off it. But yeah, I want relief,” Jackson told the news outlet.
