Although now he is the spitting image of stability as a happily married man, the worst moments of adolescence and early youth of Justin Bieber have been amply documented by the paparazzi and for his run-ins with justice.

As many know, the pop star of 27 years had a serious drug abuse problem because he wanted to fill the “void” he felt inside despite his worldwide success. What had not transpired until now is that his dependence on certain illegal substances reached such a point that members of his security team had orders to take his pulse at night while he slept to make sure he was still alive, as he has now revealed same.

“Had one strange feeling, of continuing to yearn for more. It was like I had all that success and still thought, ‘I’m still sad, and it still hurts. And I still have a lot of problems to solve. ‘ And at first I believed that success would make everything work out ”, he confesses in a new interview to the magazine GQ . “For me, drugs were a numbing balm to keep going” .

At that time, Justin lost control of the vision he had built for his career and regrets that he allowed many people in the industry to try to “profit” from his “insecurities” to turn him into someone he “didn’t want to be.” The artist, who had started using marijuana at the 11 years to deal with the pressure of fame, attributes his salvation to his Christian faith and the positive influence of his wife Hailey Bieber .

“I arrived to a point where I was like, ‘God, if you’re real, I need you to help me, because I can’t do this on my own. I am fighting very hard. Every decision I make is for my own selfish ego. What do you want from me? You put all these wishes in my heart for me to sing and perform and make music, where do they come from? Why is all this in my heart? What’s the point of it? What’s the point of all this? What is the point of my being on this planet? ”, Justin recalled about the moment he decided to face his demons and start changing your life.
