Jack Finchams Comeback: Battling Addiction and Loss

said his 'come back is pending' as he reflected on 'losing people he loves' through his battle with drinks and drugs. 

The former star, 34, who recently revealed that he is now homeless following a stint in rehab, opened up on his 'come back' journey. 

Sharing a life update to Instagram on Friday, Jack posed for a photo during a shopping trip.  

Alongside the picture, her wrote: 'Recovery ain’t easy, I’m not gonna pretend it is, some days I’m on it, some days I’m just trying to get through. 

'You lose people you love along the way, but maybe that’s part of becoming who you are meant to be but things are looking up good things are coming my way and for once in my life I feel like I deserve it, it’s okay to be me. 

'As long as you can smile, everything will be okay as long as you are breathing, everything will be okay one day at a time. Come back pending.'

Jack has been left  amid a fall out with his family after going to rehab for the second time earlier this year.  

He previously explained he had a 'selfish' relapse into drinking and drugs that nearly killed him. 

Jack, who received £32,000 of treatment at Rainford Hall, Merseyside, said he was struggling with life post rehab and backlash from family which has left him living in a hotel with his dog. 

He said: 'I tried living in Liverpool, unfortunately the person I lived with it just didn't work out. I thought I'd be getting more support from people close to me that haven't shown that support.

'Listen I'm a 34-year-old man you can't rely on your family all the time.'

'One thing they told me in rehab and it's true, you're not gonna walk out of rehab to a red carpet rolled out for you because it's stuff you should have been doing anyway.'

Jack explained that he hasn't got 'much left' and is currently homeless and trying to figure out 'what to do' next as life 'can't get any worse'. 

The reality TV star added: 'In case anyone is wondering where I am, I'm staying a hotel with the dog. I'm just gonna reset and work out what to do and where I wanna live.' 

He continued: 'Got my beautiful dog Elvis, without him I probably wouldn't even be here to be honest.'

Jack said he has found leaving rehab 'scary' but thanked the staff for showing him, a 'level of kindness I wasn't used to for a while, I found it quite alien'.

Determined to get back on track, the TV personality said he is 'starting from zero' but looking to get back into acting. 

Jack said: 'There's been a few struggles along the way and look I'm starting again from zero. I'm a very optimistic person and I just think it can't get any worse than this.

'I'm gonna do my acting and get back into TV work. I'm gonna do all the things I said I was gonna do.'

It comes after in an emotional Good Morning Britain interview last week.

The reality star admitted that he was there 'for the wrong reasons' during his first stint, but is finally 'living a life he doesn't want to escape from'.

Jack - who shot to fame on the fourth series of Love Island in 2018 - appeared on the ITV programme to chat to Susanna Reid and Ed Balls about his progress.

Ed asked the boxer: 'Were there things that you found out during the period of rehab that were a surprise, shock, revelation, challenge?'

Jack said: 'The stopping drugs part was the easy part. I went in there, I did a detox of benzodiazepines and pregabalin, prescription drugs.

'I had a six week detox of prescription drugs. It took me quite a while, I knew that needed to go. But that was the easy part. That was clinically done to the T.

'What's the hard bit... feelings are actually alright.

'I've been suppressing feelings for so long. I'm getting all these feelings, and go "Hang on a minute, what's that?!"

'Sometimes I'd get excited, and because I'd get excited, "I need to make this better, I'm going to have a drink".

'Or I'd feel sad. I know what will stop that. Drugs and alcohol, unfortunately are the friend that will never let you down because you know that's what you get on the tin.

'They are going to do what they say on the tin every time, without fail.

'I didn't like myself. I haven't felt comfortable in my own skin for a long time. I've never felt enough for a long time.

'The people at Rainford and people I've been working with over the past eight weeks have finally made me realise I'm actually alright. I'm enough. I can go and do all the things that I want to do.'
