Jed McIntosh has shared his emotional journey to sobriety.
In a video shared on Instagram, the 26-year-old musician from Victoria, who starred on The Bachelors last year, said he had ‘struggled’ and was on the mend.
‘A big part of my life over the past year and a bit has been my sobriety,’ the former reality star began the clip.
‘Has it been perfect? No, there have been a few days where I’ve given it a royal crack and reminded myself why I don’t drink, he continued.
‘I could not have achieved this without the help of my family and friends and all the people who have been in my life since then. It’s been pretty rough and I hate it when people cry on Instagram.

‘If you see someone drug themselves, there’s a reason behind it. I encourage everyone to try to see the cause, not the problem.
“So thankful that everyone has helped me and believed in me to help me get there, whether it’s one day, six months, three months, not a year yet, but we will get there one day with sobriety,” he said.
Jed continued in his lengthy caption: ‘I want to thank everyone in my life, present and future, who have helped me on my journey of sobriety. It’s been a hard road, but much easier than my life was while I was partying.
‘The best is yet to come. If you struggle with drinking or anything, reach out to me or someone, you are not alone.

‘We’ve all had trauma in our lives but numbing it doesn’t solve anything, sometimes you have to let the fire refine and sharpen you’.
He continued: ‘This is not the reason for everyone, I still love being out and seeing mates smashing a pint and having a laugh, but this is my journey and what works for me.
‘Sometimes I fall short with this discipline, but I get better as time goes on and learn every day’.
Jed and his ex-girlfriend Alésia Delaney, who he met on The Bachelors, announced their split last year.
Days after her announcement, Jed was photographed packing on the PDA with a busty beauty at Ms Collins, an event space in Melbourne.
