It’s the news his mom so desperately wanted to hear in her final moments alive.

O'Neal told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview he was doing well.
"I'm doing very well in sober living," said the 24-year-old, who was arrested in December on drug charges while on a 24-hour pass from a drug rehab in Pasadena, California.
"I go to out patient treatment four times a week and I will be getting a job once I get out of sober living."
