Catelynn Lowell Reveals the Real Reason She Checked Into Rehab

On Twitter, Catelynn Lowell has been celebrating her sobriety. She says that she’s been sober for months, now.


But on Teen Mom OG, which is filmed earlier, she’s still in the process of explaining to her husband why she needs to go to rehab in the first place.


She lays out those reasons very clearly.



On Monday’s episode of Teen Mom OG, Catelynn Lowell explained to her husband, Tyler Baltierra, exactly why she had to return to rehab.


“It’s nothing to do with you, Tyler. It’s my inner child s–t. I’m telling you right now, it’s nothing to do with what you do.”


Of course it isn’t his fault, but it’s sad that her childhood is still plaguing her as an adult. That is far too common.


And she cites some specific traumas that continue to haunt her.


“It’s me being a f–king 12-year-old and my dad leaving or me being, like, 8 and my mom drinking all the time and not being there.”


That is just heartbreaking.


“It’s my own s–t. It’s just coming out when things go on in life.”



Catelynn continues, saying:


“That’s how trauma works.”


She’s exactly right.


And she did a better and more succinct job of explaining how trauma in childhood can contribute to things like alcohol abuse as an adult than plenty of experts.


She then went on to assure husband Tyler Baltierra that, of course, her entering rehab did not reflect on him.


“It’s nothing to do with you, you’re awesome. You’re supportive.”




Catelynn Sobriety Tweets 01


After Catelynn Lowell tweeted her support for fellow Teen Mom star Amber Portwood, someone on Twitter nastily chose to characterize the two of them as “drug addicts.”


Catelynn’s response was positively classy, as she wrote:


“We’re not drug addicts but whatever helps you sleep at night.”


She went on to celebrate her enduring sobriety, responding to a much more polite fan’s question by writing:


“Been sober for going on 5 months.”




Catelynn Sobriety Tweets 02


One fan — very politely — asked for clarification, wanting to know if Catelynn was using the term “sober” under the strictest terms or if she meant from all mind-altering substances.


Catelynn clarified that she had even quit using marijuana.


Though marijuana is widely regarded to be safe by the medical community, it can sometimes be used as a “crutch” to avoid processing emotions.


Some find that long-term use can exacerbate whatever issues they were trying to avoid.


Unfortunately, sometimes people find that they have to face their problems instead of self-medicating for them.


Catelynn found that she’d seen an improvement once she’d cut off all substances that let her distance herself from her own thoughts.



Can we just acknowledge for a moment that it is deeply refreshing to hear someone explain trauma and its long-term effects and the role that it plays in addiction?


Most people are accustomed to hearing that spelled out in wildly clinical terms. 


We have to wonder how many viewers sat there are listened to Catelynn talk and faced sudden realizations about what had led to their own behaviors.


Watch Teen Mom online if you want to continue to keep up with Catelynn’s struggle.

Brad Pitt: Checked Into Rehab For Addiction Issues?

In the weeks after the world learned that Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from Brad Pitt a number of possible explanations for the surprise split circulated on social media.


With the benefit of hindsight, it’s clear that the split was only the 4,569,098,254th most shocking thing that happened in 2016, but at the time, fans were stunned, and many were sent scrambling for answers.


We now know that Angelina moved out and took the took the kids following an altercation between Brad and eldest son Maddox aboard a private jet.



Prior to that, however, there were a number of rumors about Brad’s misbehavior, including one that claimed Pitt was hooked on drugs and booze.


The situation doesn’t appear to be as severe as many initially thought, but it’s beginning to look like the accusations weren’t completely baseless either.


Anyone who’s ever been through a breakup knows that there’s usually more than one motivating factor behind the decision to split.


So while the confrontation between Brad and Maddox may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back, their might be something to those reports that Angie was getting fed up with Brad’s substance abuse, as well.



According to The Enquirer (we know, we know), Brad has been taking steps to get sober in recent weeks, even going so far as to check himself into a short-term (and extremely pricey) treatment facility.


The tabloid claims that Pitt recently checked dropped $ 15,000 on a five-night sober retreat in a private suite inside Casa Del Mar, a  five-star resort in Santa Monica, Calif.


Reportedly unable to commit to more long-term treatment due to work and family obligations, Pitt has apparently committed hismelf to a healthier lifestyle following his crash-course in sobriety.


“Brad’s benefited from the principles and rules that come with dedicated sobriety, and he’s found a way to celebrate it, too,” a source told The Enquirer.



Witnesses say brad was recently spotted slipping out the backdoor of the resort carrying a bouquet of balloons emblazoned with the words “Sexy Sober Sunday.”


“His friends have been key in helping him see the positives from clean living, which is why they arranged this sober divorce party,” says one insider.


Not surprisingly, those closest to the actor say it was his ongoing custody battle with Jolie that finally moved him to sober up.



“[He] doesn’t want any part of drugs or booze right now; he’s dedicated to his children,” says one source.


“It’s what’s best for himself and his family in the long-term and that’s a bigger buzz than any cocktail or marijuana joint could provide.”


Well, Brad may have to put up with a lifetime of cheeseball slogans, but at least he can look forward to being a bigger part of his kids’ lives.


We suppose he got the better end of that deal.
