Sprayberry, 28, addressed his affiliation with Scientology in an Instagram video<\/a> on Sunday, July 12, after fans noticed him sharing “really cool informational videos” about the organization.<\/p>\n

“I am a Scientologist. I’ve been a Scientologist for three years now. It’s been an epic experience for me,” the actor said on Sunday. “It’s been so fantastic.”<\/p>\n

Sprayberry explained that he found Scientology after getting sober. “A little bit earlier on in my sobriety, I was having this feeling where I’m really proud of myself and I do feel the difference of being off of drugs,” he recalled. “But I started to really think back on my life and the decisions that I had made and I was like, \u2018OK, well, the reason why I got on drugs in the first place was because when I was a teenager, I was experiencing tons of anxiety and depression.'”<\/p>\n

After his mental health challenges became “more and more crippling,” Sprayberry began “self-medicating.”<\/p>\n

“Once I made that decision, I was a chronic drug user for about 10 years. Around 23 is when I first got sober,” he said. “About two years in[to sobriety], I was trying to handle that anxiety and that depression with these drugs. Now that I was sober, I could tell that it’s still there. It’s just suppressed. That was tough, but I had to confront it.”<\/p>\n

Sprayberry’s search for solutions<\/a> introduced him to the Church of Scientology.<\/p>\n

“I was lucky enough to meet some amazing Scientologists and the first thing that you do as a Scientologist – when you start doing your services – is something called the purification rundown,” he explained. “The purification rundown is what it sounds like. It’s basically a detox program that gets drugs and toxins out of your body for good. I did that and it was awesome. It was so much fun, because I’m a very active person, so doing the detox program with the running and the sauna sweat felt so good.”<\/p>\n

Sprayberry also credited L. Ron Hubbard<\/strong>\u2018s book The Way to Happiness<\/em> for helping to change his outlook. “I had a huge realization – which sounds so silly to say now – but it was that happiness is not something that I have to get,” he said. “It’s something that I create within myself. I’ve been creating my state of being all this time. The whole reason I was depressed and anxious and all that stuff was because I was not being that person who creates happiness for myself.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “I was creating depression and anxiety by my behavior, my actions, my point of view on the world. So when I read that book, it really helped open my eyes to the power of that. It’s not only something that you do in your mind, but it’s something that I do with my actions in telling the truth, taking care of your body and not doing drugs and helping your parents and not judging other people’s religions.”<\/p>\n

Sprayberry emphasized that he is “doing great” now. (The actor and his wife, Pruette Karl<\/strong>, are currently expecting their first baby<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to share that with you guys, because it’s been such a special experience for me,” he concluded. “I’ve gotten to get myself in such a good place in life and I’m doing genuinely fantastic.”<\/p>\n
