Chase Chrisley Opens Up About His Journey: Untold Stories, Personal Struggles, and What’s Next for 2026
Chase Chrisley Reflects on 2025: A Year of Growth, Sobriety, and Personal Revelations
As 2025 comes to a close, Chase Chrisley sits down for an open and honest conversation with his sister Savannah, sharing his reflections on a year that has been full of challenges, growth, and a new chapter in his life. The year has seen its ups and downs for the Chrisley family, with each member navigating personal struggles and triumphs. But for Chase, 2025 was the year he committed to turning his life around, finding his way to sobriety, and rebuilding his relationships.
During their candid conversation, Chase and Savannah discuss some of the most difficult moments they’ve both faced, including the struggles with addiction that affected Chase deeply. “It was a really dark time for me,” Chase admits. “I thought I was going to die. I remember coming over to the house and my pants were falling off because I had lost so much weight. I didn’t even recognize myself.”
For Chase, the turning point came when he checked into rehab, a decision that was both hard and necessary. He reflects on the lessons he’s learned during his time in therapy, saying that he had to confront a lot of buried emotions. “I had to deal with a lot of pain that I never realized was affecting my decisions,” he shares. “It was a wake-up call, and I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned.”
But recovery isn’t just about abstaining from substances—it’s about rediscovering who he is outside of the pain and the struggles. For Chase, 2025 has been a journey of self-discovery. “I’m figuring out who I am, not through materialistic things or relationships, but within myself,” he explains. “I’ve learned that the things that mattered before—things that could be gone tomorrow—aren’t what define me.”
Throughout the conversation, Chase is open about how difficult it was to be in the public eye while going through his struggles. “On the show, people saw me as the ‘bad guy’ or the one with the problems, but there was so much more going on behind the scenes,” he says. “People don’t talk about the damage addiction does to those around you. It’s not just the person going through it. It’s the family too.”
Savannah, too, opens up about how hard it was to watch her brother go through those moments. “I knew he had one of the best hearts,” she says, “but addiction changes you. It’s like you’re not even the same person anymore.”
As the conversation shifts to a more hopeful tone, Chase talks about how he is now in a healthier place, both physically and mentally. He proudly shares that he’s been six months sober and that his focus now is on building better habits for the future. “I’m just working on being a better version of myself every day,” he says with optimism.
Chase also reveals exciting developments in his life outside of sobriety. “I’ve been working on some new business ventures, including a new seltzer brand, Gold Drop,” he shares. “It started as something to help people like me who are in recovery, but now it’s a product I’m really proud of.”
While Chase acknowledges the hurdles he’s overcome, he also credits his support system for getting him through. “I wouldn’t be where I am without my family,” he says. “They’ve been my backbone, and I’m incredibly grateful for them.”
The Chrisley family, known for their ups and downs, continues to captivate fans with their candid moments and shared journeys. And while Chase still has a long way to go, this year has shown just how far he’s come—and how he’s embracing a new path in life. As for 2026, Chase’s focus remains on growth, health, and love, both for himself and his family.
“This is just the beginning for me,” he says with a hopeful smile. “I’m excited for what’s to come, and I’m ready for the challenges and the wins that are ahead.”
