In this pivotal episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Ronnie visited Lamar Odom’s Recovery Centre.

However, after experiencing significant challenges in his life, he returned with a serious commitment to the program.
Ronnie expressed a desire to connect with others in recovery, recognizing the unique “platform”he possessed compared to many others. Upon discovering he would become a father, he pledged to abstain from drinking, but regretfully, he relapsed into alcohol addiction. He recounted:
“Unfortunately she [Ariana] was there to see my actions that day, and when I tried to talk to her, she wouldn’t even look at me. That was heartbreaking to me; at that point, it was like, I can’t live this moment again.”
As a parent, Ronnie felt a deep sense of responsibility to protect his child and acknowledged his previous failures. Understanding that his actions would affect Ariana’s future, he committed to working on himself and becoming a better person every day.
