Mama June Shannon finally recovers from her cocaine addiction and reflects on her past choices. The reality star revealed that she deeply regrets “blowing” over $1 million on cocaine and wasting money.
Shannon has now been sober for three years but still suffers from health problems that cause headaches and dizziness. The TV star said doctors found it difficult to diagnose him as they assessed his history of substance abuse.
Shannon is set to release a new season of her reality show, which includes her recent marriage to Justin Shroud. Shroud also shared that it was hard for him to see Shannon’s daughter walk away from him.

During a recent exclusive interview with Daily Mail, Mama June Shannon talks about her crazy spending spree during her cocaine addiction. The reality star rose to fame when her daughter Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson rose to fame on “Toddlers and Tiaras.”
During that time, the world watched as Shannon shared her weight loss journey and eventual addiction to breaking up with ex-boyfriend Geno Doak. Now, three years into his recovery, the TV star is sharing some of the “stupid” things he did because of his addiction.
Shannon’s interview was to promote her new show, “Mama June: Family Crisis.” He reflects on how his addiction took a toll on his body and finances and tore the beautiful family apart. She said she often reflects on herself and thinks, “Girl, what did you do to spend all that money?”
Shannon shared that she even talked about it with her husband, Justin Shroud, because he’s “always thinking about it.” She added, “I thought of so many things I could do with the money. My husband tells me all the time that I can’t think of it.”

During the interview, Shannon went on to share that she had moments of self-loathing for her actions during her drug addiction. He said, “I don’t remember much of that period. Just bits and pieces. But the biggest and dumbest thing I did was spend that much money on drugs.”
The reality TV star, however, proudly shared that she has improved on her spending. She said, “Now I’m back to pinching pennies, and Justin tells me I’m a money saver.” The reality star, who claimed at one point, she spent up to $3,000 on drugs every day, is now frugal with her spending.
Mama June Is Suffering From An Unknown Health Problem

As of 2023, Shannon is officially three years unconscious but still suffering from unknown health issues. These issues have resulted in the mother being hospitalized with severe dizziness and headaches several times in 2022. However, the hospital’s various tests and scans have yet to determine exactly what is wrong with Shannon.
The “Road to Redemption” star commented on her lack of diagnosis and said doctors failed to find the cause of her illness because of prejudice. Shannon said they all judged her because of her substance abuse history and didn’t take her current health issues seriously.
He said, “I hate that doctors will see someone who’s been through something in their life, like addiction, and they think that person can’t change. I’ve been straight and clean for over three years. But when I’m honest and tell people that, doctors just look at you like you have some big disease and I don’t.”
He Released the New Season of his Show

Shannon releases a new season of her show later this year, and it will cover her court wedding to Shroud in 2022 and their family wedding this year. During his interview, the TV Star shared that this season will show their families in counseling and solving their problems.
Shannon also said it will feature him trying to repair his relationship with his daughter, who he gave up custody of during his addiction. Her husband Shroud shared that it was hard for him to see the girls keep their distance from Shannon ever since.
He said, “I see the changes he makes every day, but they are not there to see them.” Shroud continued, “But I understand where they’re coming from too, you know, because I’m an addict myself and people get tired of being told you’re going to do something and it never comes.”
