Jackie O Henderson breaks down as she discusses her healing journey after admitting to secret drug and alcohol addiction: 'I never felt good enough'
Jackie 'O' Henderson tearfully broke down live on-air on Wednesday morning as she discussed her ongoing healing journey. The radio star, 50, was speaking to American self-help podcaster Gabby Bernstein about ways to improve your mindset when she made the tearful admission. 'I never felt good enough.... It takes a long time to do that. And then it all came up and it was like a bloody pressure cooker and everything came out. Sometimes I think we have core beliefs that we're not even aware of,' Jackie began. Gabby asked Jackie what it was she was insecure about and if she was looking to 'manifest' a romantic partner due to still being single at 50. Jackie responded with 'yep' and admitted her single status was something she felt insecure about, in addition to working hard to maintain her sobriety. 'I know it takes a long time to do that. You know, to heal. I feel like I've been working on it for two and a half years, constantly,' she said. Gabby told the veteran presenter that while the healing process was a 'lifetime journey', she could make a commitment to better living each and every day. Jackie previously shared her own personal story with addiction with listeners during The Kyle and Jackie O Show back in October. Fighting back tears, Jackie shared that she checked into rehab facility the Betty Ford Clinic in California in November 2022, when she took an extended break from The Kyle and Jackie O Show that she previously claimed was due to long Covid. Known for treating Hollywood stars including Keith Urban, Robert Downey Jr. and Lindsay Lohan, Betty Ford charges anywhere from $45,000 to $90,000 AUD for a month-long stay, depending on the program. Jackie revealed on-air that her long-time friend Gemma had been instrumental into getting her into rehab. She emotionally credited Gemma with saving her life by persuading her to check into the clinic. She recalled: 'It came to a head and [Gemma] was such a great friend. She said ''I'm sorry Jackie, but you're not going to taper off this, it will never work. I'm checking you into rehab at the end of the week... we're going''.' 'I said "don't be ridiculous, that is such overkill. I don't have a problem that bad that I need to go to Betty Ford".' 'And she said "no, we're going and we're doing it" and I thank God she did that,' Jackie admitted. 'Thank God there was someone out there like her. I believe she saved my life.' Jackie said they caught a night flight out of Australia and boarded at the 'last moment' to avoid being seen and then jetted over to LA, where Gemma stayed with her for two days before she checked into the clinic. She said Gemma accompanied her and helped her to get on the plane 'undetected' as she discussed keeping her addiction a secret for two 'long and painful years'. At the time, Kyle - who was unaware of Jackie's drug addiction - told their listeners Jackie was taking a break after contracting Covid. Instead, she was secretly flown out of Australia to be treated for 28 days at the world famous rehab facility for an addiction to painkillers, sleeping pills and alcohol. At the height of her addiction, Jackie took around 10-12 Stilnox/Zolpidem sleeping pills and 24 Panadeine Forte a day and would take them while drinking alcohol. Stilnox users are warned not to drink alcohol as it can slow the respiratory system and make it difficult to wake up. Jackie said Betty Ford told her not to change 'anything' about her usage before arriving as it could be 'dangerous' so she was still taking the pills the day she flew out to the US. She also said she went 'back and forth' deciding whether to share the news publicly before detailing the extent of her addiction in her memoir The Whole Truth.
