"Vanderpump Rules" star Jax Taylor recently celebrated a big milestone in his sobriety journey: 100 days free from cocaine and alcohol.
On social media, Jax Taylor updated his followers with a photo of a time clock that showed the number "100." In his caption, the reality star referred to his shocking statement from early March 2025, in which he admitted to being addicted to cocaine for two decades before revealing he finally decided to make a change for himself.
Jax Taylor Celebrates 100 Days Sober With Social Media Post

On Instagram, Taylor shared a few photos of himself leaning against a wall, donning a cream blazer, a white button-up shirt, skinny blue jeans, and white canvas shoes.
In the second picture, the "House of Villains" reality star shared a screenshot of two clocks, both of which read "100."
Under one clock, it read "cocaine," and under the other, it read "alcohol."
"100 days down and the rest of my life to go," Taylor captioned the post, referring to the comments he made during a March 2025 podcast episode of "Hot Mic," in which the controversial television personality revealed he had been sober from cocaine and alcohol after using the substances for two decades.

During a previous interview, Taylor shared a shocking revelation that he had been using cocaine since he was "23 and now I'm 45."
"I'm an addict," he continued. "I have substance issues—primarily with cocaine."
Taylor explained that he'd spent a solid portion of his life going back and forth with the illicit drug before revealing he only used it while consuming alcohol.
“I can’t do cocaine without drinking," he said. "I’m proud to say I’m 83 days sober right now, which is the longest I’ve ever gone in my life without either."
On social media, users replied to Taylor's post and congratulated him for achieving such an accomplishment.
"Keep going! I'm on [eight] years [of] no alcohol, and I started in reality TV binge drinking as well," someone commented. "It's the best thing I ever did. Good luck, you got this."
Another user agreed and told Taylor, 45, that he was likely "helping more people than you know by sharing your struggles so openly."
Jax Taylor's Partner Is 'Skeptical' Of His Recovery Journey

Brittany Cartwright, who's currently divorcing Taylor after five years of marriage, has been open about the struggles she and her three-year-old son, Cruz, have faced since being connected to the Bravo veteran.
She, too, opened up about Taylor's addiction and admitted that she was grateful she could "speak openly about the extent of trauma he's instilled on our family over the years."
The mother of one, who met Taylor on the set of "VPR," explained that she has tried to "help" her soon-to-be-ex-husband over the years; however, she has only been met with resistance.
Therefore, she admitted that she was "skeptical" of his recovery journey before saying his actions are "still alarming."
Taylor's Friends Said They Were Aware Of His Drug Use

While appearing on Andy Cohen's late-night show "Watch What Happens Live," Taylor's best friend, Tom Sandoval (who also filmed eight seasons of "Pump Rules" with the father of one) praised Taylor for taking steps to care for his well-being.
"I'm so proud of him," Sandoval told Cohen, adding, "I think it's so awesome. He really seems like he's been really working on himself, for real."
Elsewhere during the episode, Sandoval shed more light on Taylor's drug use and admitted that he was "aware" of his friend's actions.
“Yes, I was somewhat aware of his problems with addiction," he admitted. “I’ve been around him over the years, obviously."
Taylor Used To Get 'Lit' On Set

During the "Hot Mic" podcast, Taylor revealed that he didn't share his struggle with addiction with anybody on the set of "Vanderpump Rules."
In fact, the reality star admitted that he used to get "lit" and "ripped" in between scenes at a bar next to their filming location in West Hollywood, California.
“I would go off on my own. We would film a scene, and you have 30 minutes [of] downtime, so most people go rest. I would go to a bar, get lit, or go next door from SUR, and that’s where we all went because we weren’t allowed to drink during scenes," he explained.
