In the season five premiere of "Mama June: From Not to Hot," titled "From Crisis to Recovery," we catch up with Mama June and her family as they continue to navigate the aftermath of her drug addiction and legal troubles.
The episode starts with a recap of the events of the previous season, which saw June's family intervene in her addiction and send her to rehab. We also see footage of June's court appearances, where she faced charges related to drug possession and domestic violence.
Now, with June out of rehab and trying to turn her life around, her family is focused on helping her stay on the right track. June's sister Joanne, who has been a key supporter throughout her recovery, is staying with her in a new house that the family has secured for June and her daughters.
But there are still challenges on the horizon. June's daughter Alana, aka Honey Boo Boo, is still dealing with the aftermath of living with her mother's addiction. In previous seasons, Alana has expressed her frustration with June's behavior and the impact it has had on her life.
We also see June struggling with her own feelings of guilt and shame over what she has put her family through. In a poignant moment, she tearfully apologizes to her daughters for the pain she has caused.
Despite the challenges, there are signs of progress. June is attending therapy and working to repair her relationships with her children. She is also focused on getting healthy, both mentally and physically. We see her cooking healthy meals and going for walks with her sister.
The rest of the episode focuses on the family coming together to celebrate Alana's birthday. There are balloons, presents, and a cake, and we see Alana having a good time with her siblings and cousins.
Overall, "From Crisis to Recovery" sets the stage for what promises to be a challenging but ultimately rewarding season for Mama June and her family. As she continues on her journey of recovery, June will have the support of her loved ones to help her through the ups and downs.
