In an emotional new revelation, Chrisley Knows Best star Chase Chrisley has opened up about his decision to seek treatment for alcohol addiction — and credits his father, Todd Chrisley, for encouraging him to take that life-changing step.
During a heartfelt conversation between the father and son, Todd reflected on their similarities, saying,
“Chase is becoming more like me every single day — he’s basically a copy of me.”
Todd then asked his son how he felt during the time both he and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were serving their prison sentences — a moment that changed the entire family dynamic.
Chase didn’t hold back.
“It was awful,” he admitted. “Life just fell apart. Our family broke apart, we stopped filming, and everything that used to be normal was gone. I thought when you guys left, I’d stop drinking to celebrate — but instead, I started drinking to cope.”
He continued,
“I’m just not someone who can handle alcohol, and I know that now. But it got to a point where it was damaging so many of my relationships — especially with Savannah. That’s when I knew I needed help.”
Chase says he’s now in a much better place, both personally and spiritually.
“I’ve worked on myself, and now Savannah and I are rebuilding our relationship. We’re talking again, healing, and I’m so grateful to God for that,” he shared.
The reality star also offered words of encouragement for others struggling with addiction:
“So many people feel ashamed to ask for help, but you shouldn’t. You have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and admit you need it. There was a time I couldn’t even do that — but today, I can, and I’m genuinely happy.”
Through his journey, Chase Chrisley is proving that vulnerability can lead to strength — and that with faith, family, and the right support, even the most broken moments can become the beginning of something better.
