Justin Bieber Turned To God For Help With Drug Addiction: ‘It Was Crazy Scary’

In a recent episode, Hailey Bieber, Justin's wife, admitted that their road to the altar was different than most.

"Moving in together and living together, and getting to share space with each other and just keep learning more about each other, just took away all the pressure of the scary part of getting married."

It was an intimate event since Hailey and Justin wanted to keep the wedding small — a hard feat for mega-celebrities like them.

As for Justin's part in the wedding planning, he admitted that he just "basically showed up."

In the episode, titled “The Dark Season," he revealed that he turned to God to help him with drug addiction.

Things escalated from there as he said that he "was popping pills, I was doing molly, ‘shrooms… everything. It was just an escape for me.”

"I think when you take someone very, very young and they start to get horrible, crazy, crippling anxiety and it goes undiagnosed, you don't know what it is that you're feeling, you start to self-medicate because it makes you feel better."

During this time, the young singer made headlines for several things, such as getting arrested for drag racing, peeing in a bucket, and even an alleged DUI.

"'If I get this, I'll be happy, if I do this, I'll be happy,'" he shared.

He went on to say that never having a secure family or household growing up affected him and the decisions he was making.

“I decided to stop [drugs] because I felt like I was dying, my security were coming into the room at night to check my pulse. People don’t know how serious it got; it was legit crazy scary."

He then admitted that it was God who helped him through that dark period of his life.

“I did that and then I was good from there, but I never did the actual work. I got off the pills, but I never went to the root of everything. So then I just kind of circle back around, which most people do.”

When Justin talked about his mental and physical health problems later on in the video, including his battle with Lyme Disease, he got candid about the damage that the drugs and alcohol have done.

"There’s so many people that have gifts, and an opportunity to make a change, and they end up either losing it or using their gifts for selfish reasons.”

"And for all the fans that want to enjoy the music that I make and stuff, I can't do it if I'm not healthy and I haven't been healthy for a long time."
