On the latest episode of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Mary Cosby asked her son if he thought he had a problem. “Sometimes, I feel like, I don’t know, just life is like this chicken without seasoning,” he explained. “But when I get high, it’s like seasoning.”

He went on to reveal that he first took Xanax when he was 16 and a friend gave it to him at a party.

“Then I was like, ‘I like this,’” he continued. “I started buying it. Then I started doing Xanax with acid, and then Molly with Xanax, because I really like Xanax – so I mixed it with everything, Xanax and cocaine.”

“You know, the regular 30-milligram Oxys? I noticed, like, this is a turning point for me. I was taking 10 at once, and I couldn’t even feel it. I couldn’t feel it at all.”

Speaking on the RHOSLC After Show, Mary said she and her husband, Robert Cosby Sr., are supporting their son on his road to recovery, “Robert Sr., he tries to share with Robert Jr. his situation. Before Robert. Sr. mom made him go through the army, he enjoyed getting high, too. I never – I don’t have that to share with him. I can’t see through his eyes. But I do understand him, and I don’t judge him.”

Mary says that Robert Jr. does want to change explaining, “I feel like dealing with that, in anybody’s life, is really hard because it’s almost embarrassing because at some point your child has to tell you, ‘Mom, I have a vulnerable side and I failed and I wasn’t able to bring myself back up. And I just feel like if you keep things real, that’s how you get through it. He does want to change, and that’s the only way it will work.”

RHOSLC airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock
