It's been a roller coaster few years for Mama June Shannon, and she's still dealing with the consequences of her actions. While talking to the Daily Mail, June revealed that she spent over $1 million on drugs in the height of her addiction, and now that she's sober, the reality star is still picking up the pieces.

June opened up about the lowest point of her addiction.
June told the news outlet that when her crack cocaine addiction was at its worst, she was spending as much as $3,000 per day on drugs, which really adds up.
"Girl, what the h— are you doing spending all that d— money?" the 43-year-old mom said. "I would be like, 'Man, why in the h— did I blow all that money?"' I am always thinking about that. I think about a lot of things I could do with that money. My husband tells me all the time that I can’t dwell on it."
She called spending that much money on drugs the 'biggest, stupidest' thing she's done.
"Now I’ve gone back to being like penny pinching, and Justin tells me I'm a money hoarder," June said.
Despite his jokes, it sounds like her husband, Justin Stroud, has been supportive of her during this time, as difficult as it has been.
She's also dealing with some mysterious health problems.
Even though June says she's been sober for more than three years, she's still dealing with health problems that she fears doctors will write off because of the addiction she's battled in the past. Her symptoms include dizziness and headaches that, so far, have gone unexplained.
"I just want the answers and I'm not getting them. I’m trying to get into to see the best doctors that I know back in Georgia, but it is taking some time," she said.

Her relationship with her daughters seems to be getting better these days.
Though fans will see that things aren't perfect between June and her daughters on the new season of Mama June: Family Crisis, it does appear they're on their way to repairing their relationships, and June has been there to support her oldest daughter, Anna Cardwell, as she battles stage four cancer.
It sounds like June is on the path to a better life.
Although it must be truly hard for June to reconcile where all of her money has gone — and her turbulent past, including some major trouble with the law on multiple occasions — it sounds like she's working hard to be the best person (and mom) she can be these days.
She can only go up from here!
