He added: "But I know it can help someone so here I go.
"I didn’t want to disappoint anyone who has looked up to me as a sober person so I’ve been just burying it away.
"I took my eye off the ball. I stopped doing what I needed to do to keep myself on the path of my personal integrity."
Jackson continued: "I could blame it on Covid. I could blame it on the state of the world. Mass shootings. A nation divided.
"The death of my co-star. But the truth is, I thought I had it all handled. I thought, ‘I got this.’ But I don’t. I am a work in progress. Always."

Cheyenne thanked his "support system", including actress Jamie Lee Curtis "and so many others".
Taking to the comments, Jamie wrote: "The truth is anyone in recovery and only has this day sober.
"The past is irrelevant, and the future unknown. When I went to a school in Los Angeles, we recited this every day as a community arms outstretched to the sun."
"I offer it to you, my friend, and anyone reading," she added, pasting a poem.
Cheyenne concluded his post: "If you are out there struggling, you are not alone and there is a solution. I love you. And I love myself today and that feels really good to say."
