Cameron Dallas is opening up about what’s been going on behind the scenes in his life… and it’s certainly raising some eyebrows from fans and those across the entertainment industry.
The 24-year-old internet star posted a video to his Instagram account on Friday afternoon, candidly revealing he’s now been sober for 105 days after spending the last two and a half years struggling with addiction, anxiety, family trauma, and a host of other issues. But thankfully, apparently with the help of considerable rehab and mental health treatment, it now appears he’s on the right track.

In the video, Dallas says (below):
“I have been in rehab, and I have been getting help and dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression [and] family trauma… I’m 105 days sober, so that’s really awesome, and I want to stay on this path. I kind of want to be an advocate an help others and spread awareness to people to give them an opportunity to get help.”
Wow!

Along with the clip itself, Dallas wrote this lengthy post explaining more about what’s been going on, too (below):
“Progress not perfection, this is something that means a lot to me and I’m so thankful for all the opportunities I’ve been given and the patience that has been graciously bestowed upon me by so so many people whether it be my Family, Friends, my Team, my Fans, or anyone that came into contact with me in general. I want to say sorry to the people that I pissed off &/or disrespected whether I was conscious of it or not while I was in my addiction, no one deserves to be treated less than and everyone deserves to be respected in their own right. Dealing with this over the last 2 1/2 years has slowly & painfully dragged me into the shallowest, darkest places in my life destroying my mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health.
I want everyone to know that there IS hope even when it seems helpless, that there IS serenity even when you’re filled with anxious thoughts. That you CAN overcome addiction and codependency if YOU choose to get help and really want it for yourself.
I’m very thankful fir the people that put up with my bullshit through this, I can’t thank you all enough. One of the biggest things for me coming back, was surrounding myself with people that wanted more For me than From me, and really digging in on the underlying problems of the things I couldn’t face or figure out in my life that I buried deep down in my soul that made me turn to these addictions to escape.
There is a big Stigma around Rehab and I am guilty of thinking of it as a “bad” or “dirty” place for “horrible” people to go to, but until I got there I realized how positive and great these facilities are. They truly help guide you in changing your direction to become the best you possible, they also aim to help your families understand how they can work on themselves to have better communication between each other and how to be assertive.
This is what I wanted to talk about today & share. Thank you for taking the time to listen. I hope this is received well and I want to start diving in more and more about these things over the course of my life sharing it with you all along the way.”
Talk about opening up and making yourself vulnerable… no doubt this must have been VERY difficult to do!
Congrats on 105 days sober, Cameron! You’re doing great! Keep at it, one day at a time!
