Over on the podcast website, Jonathan Sylvester reminded viewers that the show was brought to them by “Sobriety Engine.” June said that she started using drugs in about 200o. But later, she stopped without the aid of rehab. But then she returned to Hampton and started mixing with the old crowd. And so she got back into it. Clearly, the company people keep helps influence whether people use drugs again or not. But Geno Doak and June thought about quitting in 2015.

Mama June said though, that by 2016 she used more and more cocaine. And, it was available easily enough. June felt it gave her the confidence to contribute to her production team. And, she admits that her kids knew about it. In fact, she told them in case something happened, so they knew what was going on. June claims that her daughters never saw her use it, but they “knew what was going on.” But Pumpkin hated that she used drugs.
