Jason Wahler Shows Before Sobriety and After Sobriety Pics to Celebrate

Former star of MTV’s The Hills, Jason Wahler took to Instagram to celebrate his sobriety milestone with a transformative before-and-after photo collage.

The picture shows Wahler’s mugshot beside a current happy and healthy Wahler with his hands thrown in the air.  It reads, along with an accompanying phone number for the National Addiction Foundation:

“You will never know how good it all is until you get sober.”

Wahler, 30, previously struggled with an alcohol addiction, which eventually drove him to attempt suicide. In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Tonight, he revealed that it was ultimately his overnight fame with the hit MTV show that led him to trouble.

“It ignited my addiction and things started to domino effect right before my own eyes, and before you knew it, it got out of control and I couldn’t handle it.”

Since becoming sober, the former reality star has been open about his former addiction. Wahler frequently posts encouraging messages on his social media sites, encouraging those who struggle to seek help.

Wahler and wife Ashley Slack are now expecting their first child together, a baby girl. The parents-to-be are overjoyed by the anticipated arrival of their daughter.
