What Aaron Carter's Final Year Of Life Was Like

Publish date: 2024-05-17

Aaron Carter might have spent a huge chunk of his young life misusing drugs, he was committed to leading a sober life. In a November 2 episode of "No Jumper" podcast, the host asked if he was California sober — an approach to sobriety that involves quitting substances such as methamphetamine, heroin, and alcohol and swapping them for marijuana or other "less harmful" drugs, per All Points North. Carter said he had been sober and his marijuana intake was low, adding, "I really believe in the Cali sober method. It's helped me. So I actually just hit five years clean."

Carter also admitted on the podcast that he took Xanax and everything was medically prescribed and legal. After his death, his brother, Nick Carter, paid an emotional tribute to him on Instagram, writing in part, "I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed. Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here."
