\u201cI know me, and if I would\u2019ve drunk at my wedding, I would\u2019ve been drunk at the welcome party, and I would\u2019ve been staying up way too late, then I would\u2019ve been hungover for my wedding morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I don\u2019t believe in having one to two drinks, that\u2019s not how I roll.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would\u2019ve not remembered my own wedding, but I did, and I enjoyed every minute of it. <\/p>\n
Opening up about the milestone, Johnson admitted how \u201cproud\u201d he felt by his achievement. <\/p>\n
\u201cI woke up the next morning after my wedding, and I was not hungover,\u201d he revealed to his followers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was so beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
His battle with addiction<\/p>\n
The pristine Italian celebration stands in stark contrast to the dark, substance-fuelled cycle that ruled Johnson\u2019s life before finding reality TV fame.<\/p>\n
Online, the content creator has been brutally honest about his history of severe alcohol and drug abuse, revealing that his dependency began during his years as a college baseball player.<\/p>\n
What started as standard university partying quickly mutated into a dangerous coping mechanism. <\/p>\n
Johnson admitted he began using alcohol as a crutch to numb the symptoms of mild Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and crippling social anxiety.<\/p>\n
As the dependency took hold, the cycle escalated. <\/p>\n
Johnson confessed to mixing heavy binge drinking with cocaine use in a desperate bid to mask severe anxiety and panic attacks. <\/p>\n
Instead of helping, the substances trapped him in a toxic loop of blackouts, paranoia, and deep emotional isolation.<\/p>\n
His sobriety was put to the ultimate test when he was cast in the high-pressure, alcohol-heavy environment of FBoy Island.<\/p>\n
During his time in the franchise, Johnson found an unexpected lifeline in the show\u2019s host, comedian Nikki Glaser, who is famously open about her own sobriety, and offered crucial support as he navigated the temptations of reality TV fame.<\/p>\n
The morning revelation <\/p>\n
Johnson revealed how he felt after he woke up after a sober wedding night.<\/p>\n
\u201cI woke up the next morning after my wedding, and I was not hungover,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was so beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to advise people who are struggling with alcohol dependency. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re out there and you\u2019re struggling with alcohol, you can enjoy life sober \u2026 just make that decision,\u201d Johnson explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need alcohol to have fun. <\/p>\n
After admitting he was the \u201cproblem\u201d and not alcohol, he revealed where his sobriety has led him. <\/p>\n
\u201cI remember when I first got sober I didn\u2019t know what I was doing for, and here we are almost three years later,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The couple is now having their honeymoon in Europe, where fans are still eyeballing the wedding details<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reality TV star Casey Johnson has achieved the ultimate milestone in his hard-fought sobriety journey, after marrying US…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808029,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[382408,382445,382430,382444,382387,382390,382400,382432,382441,382406,382417,382382,382416,382409,382421,382376,382414,23321,382426,382372,382407,382411,64,63,77795,382375,72648,382439,382396,382442,382402,382366,134,2057,382410,1635,382389,382367,382388,525,382369,382427,382447,382392,382381,382418,382438,382378,382384,382377,379530,382385,382424,14826,19074,8280,382448,382386,382380,382379,35062,382420,2375,185201,1861,382415,382425,382397,382391,382431,382368,382422,382393,382398,382434,382437,382383,382403,382394,382374,378599,382443,382436,382404,382435,382370,379840,382371,382399,144284,382446,382428,60939,382429,382440,381596,382373,382423,382413,382395,382401,382433,101,382405,382419,382412],"class_list":["post-808028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-s-host","tag-s-life","tag-s-wedding-confession","tag-a-breathtaking-italian-ceremony","tag-a-college-baseball-player-what","tag-a-crutch","tag-a-dangerous-coping-mechanism","tag-a-desperate-bid","tag-a-feat","tag-a-former-reality-tv-star","tag-a-million-years","tag-a-romantic","tag-a-single-drop","tag-a-sober-wedding","tag-a-toxic-loop","tag-addiction-battle","tag-addictionthe-pristine-italian-celebration","tag-alcohol","tag-alcohol-dependency","tag-alcohol-heavy-environment","tag-almost-three-years","tag-an-unexpected-lifeline","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-blackouts","tag-casey-johnson","tag-champagne","tag-cocaine-use","tag-comedian-nikki-glaser","tag-crucial-support","tag-deep-emotional-isolation-his-sobriety","tag-destination-weddings","tag-entertainment","tag-europe","tag-every-minute","tag-fans","tag-fboy-island-star","tag-fboy-island-during","tag-former-reality-tv-star","tag-fun","tag-heavy-binge-drinking","tag-her-own-sobriety","tag-his-achievement","tag-his-battle","tag-his-dependency","tag-his-followers","tag-his-hard-fought-sobriety-journey","tag-his-history","tag-his-own-wedding","tag-his-sobriety","tag-his-time","tag-his-wedding","tag-his-years","tag-hold","tag-johnson","tag-life","tag-mild-obsessive-compulsive-disorder","tag-my-own-wedding","tag-my-wedding","tag-my-wedding-morning","tag-night","tag-not-alcohol","tag-ocd","tag-paranoia","tag-people","tag-previous-addictions","tag-reality-tv-fame-online","tag-reality-tv-fame-the-morning-revelation-johnson","tag-reality-tv-star-casey-johnson","tag-severe-alcohol-and-drug-abuse","tag-severe-anxiety-and-panic-attacks","tag-social-anxiety-as","tag-standard-university-partying","tag-stark-contrast","tag-stunning-sober-ceremony","tag-substance-fuelled-cycle","tag-sun-drenched-ceremony","tag-that-decision","tag-the-problem","tag-the-content-creator","tag-the-couple","tag-the-cycle","tag-the-dark","tag-the-dependency","tag-the-entire-night","tag-the-fboy-island-fan-favourite","tag-the-franchise","tag-the-high-pressure","tag-the-historic-castello-di-celsa","tag-the-knot","tag-the-milestone","tag-the-next-morning","tag-the-show","tag-the-substances","tag-the-surprising-act","tag-the-symptoms","tag-the-temptations","tag-the-ultimate-milestone","tag-the-ultimate-test","tag-the-wedding-details","tag-the-welcome-party","tag-their-honeymoon","tag-tiktok","tag-tuscany-but","tag-two-drinks","tag-us-influencer-shay-sullivan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
