I definitely didn't mean to hit publish 😂 This was supposed to be released Tuesday crap haha But its all good. Hope you guys enjoy!!! Have a great weekend 🖤🖤🖤🖤
June 26th 2013 was my 23rd birthday. It was also the day I decided I'd never drink a drop of alcohol again. I am now pregnant with my first children (twins!) and finishing up my PhD. Living my best sober life!
He's got that catching rec on the yard way of telling stories like you're on the boat ride to the beaches of Normandy and he's trying to spin a tale to calm everyone down.
You got this!! If I can do it, anyone can ;) You'll get to experience freedom unlike anyone else as a recovering addict... and that's the beauty in it. Sending you prayers of love, light, and healing your way!!
I have never had any kind of drug problems but I saw my brother in law totally spiral out of control with legal drugs *pain medication* he went to prison had the curb stomp I totally understand both of yall Jessica y’all are amazing people and parents. Caitlin keep up the awesome work you made the first step!💕🥰🥰
My public pretender didn't help me one bit. I think he wanted me to go down. Somehow, I was able to get a real lawyer for $100 flat. He had a daughter who passed with a story almost identical to mine. He wanted to help me so I could get back on my feet. I'm so grateful to him to this day.
My thoughts exactly! Grandma's prayers are what did it. I think that love and comfort he felt when he walked into the house was the presence of the Holy Spirit.❤🙏❤🙏❤
I love hearing people rock bottom stories! Im 14 months sober from heroin, and meth! I have twins on the way! Its beautiful that you have a channel that helps inspire people that sobriety is achievable! Thank you(:
Taylor King. Girl it’s now been 21 months! You got it! Stay strong! Three more and it’s two years! We’re all hoping at praying for your sobriety! And I cannot even tell you how proud I am of you! I’ve never met you but just the fact that you got sober is something the world should be proud of!!!! Sending all the love your way!!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
armybeef68 testament that no matter how low you go, you can always crawl back During addiction a lot of people feel irreparably broken, or at a place so low they can never recover but rock bottom stories from people that have years sober, proves it can be done You are never irretrievable
@@armybeef68 huh? No one said anything about being proud of their rock bottom or what led them there to begin with. Quit projecting, it's obvious you hate yourself.
Looking at this now, you can see that she was fawning. Giving him his platform and displaying adoration. I thought he was using at the time, but explained it away as his burn scars. Neither is an angel... but Jess was already in so deep by this video. I hope she finds some peace... even though now she has to share the kids.
This was first in the playlist suggested to me after the video she just made, where she talks about the emotional abuse and him violating Orders Of Protection. Sad to see this and know what was really going on there when the camera was off.
Having a strict No Bullshit Clause in our relationship, from the beginning, has been a huge blessing for my husband and me. We don’t play. We started as friends, with no agenda and full honesty, and fell in love with each other’s true, authentic, sometimes messy, sometimes ugly, always beautiful selves. You guys are so fun❣️
Ok last comment 😂 Jess, it always makes me tear up seeing how emotional you get when Reece is talking about his gratitude towards his grandma and his sobriety. I really radiates love and empathy 💕
Same girl.. it’s hit me kinda hard and I think it’s because I can relate to both Jess and Reece in so many ways.. I’m praying for him and I’m in his corner, I believe in him♥️ If it helps Jess and the girls any, I’ve literally been binge watching her whole channel, starting with Reece’s playlist.. just wanna show my support
I got clean almost 4 yrs ago. You got this baby girl. Be the change you want to be. You're so young, Don't wait till you make mistakes you can't easily undo.
@@brittinie7917 That's awesome! Anything to get more Reece time. 😂 for real though I love him! He's so blunt and honest and zero tolerance for bullshit attitude.
"...and i never used drugs again" made me smile so big. i'm so happy and proud! june 26th 2013 was the day after my 13th birthday, when i got officially diagnosed w depression. it wasn't a very happy day for me, but i was just glad to finally know what it was!
Reece we are your viewers too as well as Jess’s. Congratulations on your guys sobriety, and your AMAZING Grandma! And to everyone in the comments in rehab or sober/working on becoming sober, congratulations and keep going :)
Your story is so similar to mine. I met my wife in recovery, together we gained custody of her daughter, later we got married and I became a step dad! In Nov we'll have 10 years sober together. God Bless you guys!
Reece said something that's so important to me. Worry about the big stuff and not the little stuff. If I'm not careful I KNOW the little stuff can derail me. For me, I tell myself "just go to work and don't miss a day, that's all you need to be worrying about". I try to only think about those big things when I'm having a hard day and it really helps. These videos are really great. Keep it up.
"just here to look pretty"...... Well done young lady. Very good job...... God Bless ALL the Grandmas of the world. Their unconditional love keeps the world from flying apart.
Ya'll absolutely make sobriety look good!! I remember those PB&J days too...after being up for days at a time. Thank you for so openly sharing!! You are a miracle. p.s. Met my husband at 5 months sober, he had 12 years. Next month we will have 16 years together!!Through some losses and many gains, sobriety is still a cornerstone of our life together!!
Guys I live In NW Arkansas and I have never had addiction to drugs or alcohol, but my ex was addicted to meth, fortunately she has been sober for 3 years now and is slowly regaining a relationship with our daughter. Thank you for doing these videos, it really helps us family members get a better perspective of what the addict is going through. Y'all are great.
Reece reminds me so much of my boyfriend. He’s in active addiction now. I took our girls & left. I miss him so much. I hope he can heal up & get well. I want it more than anything. Thank you for the videos this gives me hope he will get better again & beat this.
MMN it really didn’t take long to get down to that, sometimes it’s hard and I cheat and take an extra mg. I tapered myself so I can’t remember exactly. It’s easy until you get to around this point and it gets a lot harder. But I went from fentanyl/heroin IV to methadone to suboxone so it’s been a journey and I have had relapses along the way
I appreciate this so much, my fiancé is nearly three years sober and we met when he was 6 months sober. He is an amazing partner and father to our daughter. I thank you guys for your realistic and honest videos talking about addiction. I see so much of my fiancé in Reese as he was a completely functional addict where no one knew until he hit his rock bottom. Recovery is possible.
Great story. You smashed through addiction like you were running an assault course, overcoming all obstacles, pushing your body and mind to its limits, and you never gave up or gave in. Very inspiring. Cool channel
God bless brother. I've been clean since April of 2013 myself. After nine years of using those damn pills I just stopped. Went through two months of complete hell, and slowly climbed out of the hole. Did it on my own my man oh, no rehab. Something I'm still really proud of. Now I'm six years clean and have never looked back. Life is great, it's amazing how far I've come in a few short years
I appreciate two openly sharing your stories. I was addicted to heroin and crack for 6 years. Ended up homeless in 3 different states and did 7 stints in rehab. Just hit 5 years of sobriety. Sometimes I forget where I came from and remembering reminds me how lucky and grateful I am.
I love your channel.. I’ve been watching it daily this month since I found you! My husband and I are 20 months clean off H, he’s an Combat Army Vet who served in Iraq n Afghanistan. We can relate to everything you and Reece talk about. It’s awesome to find a channel with people who sid have the life we used to live and now live the sober life we are living now! Love you guys!
Man, listening to you talk about coming back home to your grandmother's house the day you finally decided no more, I damn near cried. I'm so glad you have made it this far and I wish you both many many more years of health and sobriety.
Reece. What a remarkable story of struggle, survival, redemption & hope. Thank You for sharing & more IMPORTANTLY Thank You for YOUR HONESTY. It’s very easy to have revisionist history when we speak about our past failures, pain & struggles. Out of shame, embarrassment & foolish pride..HOWEVER..IT IS EVIDENT YOU ARE UNABASHEDLY HONEST & A MAN OF INTEGRITY. Both you & Jess have been brutally honest. Knowing that when you speak the truth & put it out into the light...The darkness & shame of addiction loses its powerful hold. Which is so freaking cool!!🖤💯It’s easy to see you two met at EXACTLY the right moment. You were on the same trajectory & were able to be that supportive rock for one another throughout your journeys to sobriety, healing & a peaceful life. Seeing you now it’s hard to imagine either of you ever struggling with addiction...WHICH IS WHY I WILL THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER FOR YOUR HONESTY & TRANSPARENCY IN EVERYTHING YOU DO ON THIS PLATFORM! Your message could be the reason someone makes that decision TONIGHT TO STOP THE CYCLE OF ADDICTION IN THEIR LIVES. That’s how powerful your words are..It’s a beautiful blessing to countless people. Jess & Reece. You guys inspire me daily..Although I’m almost 10 years into my sobriety & have been blessed beyond belief with a beautiful life. (Flawed obviously but perfectly imperfect!💜) I know it’s important to remember where I was so I never go back. Your channel does that for me. (It also has educated & opened my eyes to the prison system in the USA & it’s DESPERATE need for reform. I will fight along side of you until inmates are treated as humans. Punishment & correction is important but CRUELTY & INHUMANE TREATMENT is not.💯) I absolutely love you both as fellow addiction survivors..As friends & as children of God. I pray for each of you & your 2 beautiful little ladies daily. I am a supporter since less than 1k & will be until you’re at 1,000,000 & beyond! So grateful to have found your channel & this awesome community. Blessings & Love to you Reece & Jessica. From a “family” member in Minnesota, USA. 🖤🙏🏻😘👑🌟🇺🇸🖤
I hit rock bottom long ago I had no idea I would hit it over and over again ! I learned so much and than realized I learned nothing ! I wish there was a cure or no way to get drugs I researched and I think people deal on the internet ! It made me so sad ! I remember loosing everything and no one answered their door to there house and I just got my meds from pharmacy I took all of them and than got real calm and saw an ambulance I asked them to help me I guess I changed my mind I didn’t want to die I just didn’t know how to live ! I’m so blessed to be alive ! Your so young thank god u have baby and your guy is also very nice sweet guy who cares and loves u all that is the best ! I had it but than lost it I am weak and never learn but I watch your videos to remind me of the battle !
I love how she loves him ! They are cute ! A perfect couple! They are so happy they give back ! This is what life is like if u can survive addiction! I died so many times and never saw the future I only saw a lil bag ! But u don’t have to live that way there is a beautiful life waiting for anyone ! I’m so blessed thank you god for today and my family and the hottest woman on earth ! We have a lot in common ! If I can get what I have anything can happen if u fight to live you will have it all ! Love these 2 for sharing and it’s helping so many desperate addicts that have no idea how to stop !
Watched all of your videos in the last 2 days... and I never took any kind of drugs (okay... sometimes I like a glass of wine ;-) ) but all your experience are so interesting and you are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing all your stories. I guess there are a lot of people you help and give hope. Greetings from Germany 💐💐
@@lisakofler8607 wirkt alles wahnsinnig authentisch und für mich Kleingeist kaum vorstellbar, dass es da so heftig zugehen kann. Faszinierend und inspirierend :)
You both share your stories so well- thank you. My state of PA does not have drug court and it's absolutely idiotic. They just keep throwing you in jail and no help to rehabilitate.
Thanks for your story Reece! It hard to admit your addiction to yourself. I’m 6 years sober as well. Thanks for educating people on addiction. Their is such a stigma on addicts and the type of people they are and I think it’s so important to share stories like this. Much love 💕
Man this story impacted me. Congratulations to both of you. Changing one's long term habits is such a brave thing to do. May you both have lives filled with joy.
He’s such a good story teller, I want more Reece stories! Live you both are so adorable! I’m so happy Reece had a grandma to be there for him no matter what.. congratulations to both of you in sobriety n still being clean! 🥰🥰🥰
What an inspiring story. I Can't Take My Eyes Off of Jessica she looks like she's in deep pain curing her love describe himself in a bad place. I'm close to crying seeing her go through Reece's pain.
I saw your post about the initial accidental post and how it’d be up for an hour and have been checking back like every five minutes waiting for it to go live 🤣❤️
I am a former alcoholic with over 2 years clean and my rock bottom was when I blacked out and had no memory of going outside with almost no clothes on in the middle of the winter.I quit a 25-30 beer a night habit cold turkey and I’ve never looked back!
You guys give me hope. I’m about three years into sobriety and I’m not gonna lie, it has been difficult. Constantly walking a tightrope to maintain my sobriety and to complete my probation has been a serious challenge, but every time I feel like I can’t keep it up I watch some of your videos and I get re-inspired. Thank you for giving me my hope back once again. ❤️✌️
It's heartbreaking to know he relapsed and lost everything. His rock bottom has yet to come and that's scary knowing he doesn't have Jess to pick up the pieces
Unfortunately when someone is very narcissistic they will only really reach out for help once everyone else can see the problem in front of them. Even then they still believe they can manage themselves and take care of their own Addiction on their own
What helped me most was hearing other people's stories. Hearing their rock-bottom stories made me realize how much I was taking what I had for granted.
We love seeing Reece, we’re his viewers too! I don’t know what it is but this video had me sobbing. You’re both such wonderful individuals. So inspirational and beautiful souls!
Going back and watching this it’s so obvious how far Reece has come in terms of your channel and being on it. You could tell he was done and ready for the video to end after his story and then you were all “I have questions” and he was all “okay…for your viewers.” But now it’s kinda like he enjoys it ;) You guys are the dynamic duo for sure! Keep up the amazing content.
Man oh man, methamphetamine. Heroin was my main thing, but I got into meth towards the end of my addiction. I never liked the feeling of shadow people and being up and delusional for 3 days. Don't miss ANY of that.
Can definitely see Reece with a successful lifestyle/fitness/rehab channel 😎 guys got serious youtube appeal. Would settle for a 2nd Jess & Reece fam channel though
Holy shit 🤯 I just discovered y’all last night and I’ve been binging your videos so I’m catching up. I’m from Northwest Arkansas and about fell out of my chair when he said that. Nobody is ever from Arkansas. I’m always so excited when someone else is but saying NWA specifically is crazy.
I was 4 days sober and relapsed, watching these videos really helps motivate me to get my shit together and chase sobriety. Thank yall, and I hope you, the kids, and Reece are doing alright despite yalls current circumstances, stay strong guys i know things will start looking up for yall.❤️💘
Ahhh another story I just loved. This brightened my day. My brother started huffing air duster in a VA rehab because he knew he could pass UA's & the high was short. I commented on another video when I first found you & have been binge watching your videos. I mentioned my brother passed away almost 4 years ago & although it was & still is very rough at times...he was at the point where his only way out of addiction was going to be death, prison & possibly hurting someone else very badly. Thank you & Reece for sharing these very intimate times if your lives with us.
You two are just great people! My brother has been on drugs for over 30 years now. It's a tough road & very heartbreaking. You guys should seriously do speeches, you would influence a lot of people! Good for you guys! ❤
I literally just LOL'd I was watching the video and my daughter needed something so I left the room and came back when he said "I returned the vacuum" and I said "wait what?" out loud. Lmaoo Idk why I cracked up, maybe it's sleep deprivation . Also, I just really love him. Like the wisdom when he talks just FLOWSSSSS
My best friend just celebrated 8 years sober, i don't have any experience with drug addiction or prison myself other than being in my friends life, I really appreciate these videos so I can get more of a glimpse of that world and better support my friend
My mother is a schizophrenic meth addict it's been really hard on my family, she sees things we dont and is a danger to herself and others. We cant get her help, shes eay to far gone and actively refuses treatment
Everybody needs someone who refuses to give up on them. Your grandmother did that for you! You said you expected her to be at church on Sunday so that was part of her lifestyle. You know she loved you and was praying so hard for you. Never never give on those you love!!!
Everyone recovering from addiction including myself trust that we can beat this terrible affliction.. we can do this y'all !! Much love and respect thank you for sharing and caring
I just love you guys so much. As a recovering addict I have my ups and downs constantly. Y’all really keep me motivated. Thank you Reece and Jess for sharing. Happy Birthday weekend girl!!!!!
You are both such beautiful people. Thank you for sharing and being so honest. I am a grandma and realize how important being there for our children/grandchildren is. It seems like life is just so much harder for kids now. But you gave some good advice...SLOW DOWN! It's not a race you want to finish first!

Can we just appreciate Reece’s grandma for a second. What a wonderful women.
It would be great to hear her observations from that time and how she made the decisions she did in supporting him.
@@gllyflower I get the impression she usnt with us any more.
@@MrBizteck his grandma prolly hasn’t died yet due to his age
@@eliseqwq she is passed away. Jess made a short about it
I could listen to Reese talk forever. Lol. He just has a captivating voice and mentality.
I was going to say the same!💜
y'all love us dudes with deep voices lmao
I always say that about Jessica.
He's got that catching rec on the yard way of telling stories like you're on the boat ride to the beaches of Normandy and he's trying to spin a tale to calm everyone down.

Just curious what state was that in?
That's because they work for the state and the DA works for the state. Of course they are gonna help them and not you
“I was trying to barter with my addiction”…Brilliant analogy.
Gramma went into that church and prayed for you with all her heart and spirit. You both are amazing. You, too, Gramma! God bless always!

Finally got clean for good. I’m on 2mg suboxone and tapering off it’s hard but I’m strong
You got this!!! 🖤🖤
Damn I’m jealous, I’m on 24mg a day. 😭
How low of a dose do they take you down to?
Jessica Kent ahh thank you so much for responding🖤🖤
MMN it really didn’t take long to get down to that, sometimes it’s hard and I cheat and take an extra mg. I tapered myself so I can’t remember exactly. It’s easy until you get to around this point and it gets a lot harder. But I went from fentanyl/heroin IV to methadone to suboxone so it’s been a journey and I have had relapses along the way
So funny listening to him talk about bartering with his addiction. We all do that! We’re always rationalizing the craziest things
the dudes big but you can tell he's humble and sensitive by his manners and eyes, amazing
I love ya'lls relationship!! You can tell it's real and genuine!
Reece's Grandma sounds like she was an amazing person! Also sounds like you were both lucky to meet each other at the right time, you're both awesome!
I appreciate this so much, my fiancé is nearly three years sober and we met when he was 6 months sober. He is an amazing partner and father to our daughter. I thank you guys for your realistic and honest videos talking about addiction. I see so much of my fiancé in Reese as he was a completely functional addict where no one knew until he hit his rock bottom. Recovery is possible.
I love the way Reece tells a story it’s very captivating! And the two of you are so cute together!!
Great story.
You smashed through addiction like you were running an assault course, overcoming all obstacles, pushing your body and mind to its limits, and you never gave up or gave in.
Very inspiring. Cool channel
God bless brother. I've been clean since April of 2013 myself. After nine years of using those damn pills I just stopped. Went through two months of complete hell, and slowly climbed out of the hole. Did it on my own my man oh, no rehab. Something I'm still really proud of. Now I'm six years clean and have never looked back.
Life is great, it's amazing how far I've come in a few short years
I appreciate two openly sharing your stories. I was addicted to heroin and crack for 6 years. Ended up homeless in 3 different states and did 7 stints in rehab. Just hit 5 years of sobriety. Sometimes I forget where I came from and remembering reminds me how lucky and grateful I am.
I love your channel.. I’ve been watching it daily this month since I found you! My husband and I are 20 months clean off H, he’s an Combat Army Vet who served in Iraq n Afghanistan. We can relate to everything you and Reece talk about. It’s awesome to find a channel with people who sid have the life we used to live and now live the sober life we are living now! Love you guys!
Thanks for sharing your story Reece: it is valued.
The pride in your eyes Jessica is awesome. You are so proud of Reece finding his sobriety. Keep Kicking ass you two!
Oh hell yeah! More jess and Reece content
How shit Ive been watching you for 2 years?!
Man, listening to you talk about coming back home to your grandmother's house the day you finally decided no more, I damn near cried. I'm so glad you have made it this far and I wish you both many many more years of health and sobriety.
Reece. What a remarkable story of struggle, survival, redemption & hope. Thank You for sharing & more IMPORTANTLY Thank You for YOUR HONESTY. It’s very easy to have revisionist history when we speak about our past failures, pain & struggles. Out of shame, embarrassment & foolish pride..HOWEVER..IT IS EVIDENT YOU ARE UNABASHEDLY HONEST & A MAN OF INTEGRITY. Both you & Jess have been brutally honest. Knowing that when you speak the truth & put it out into the light...The darkness & shame of addiction loses its powerful hold. Which is so freaking cool!!🖤💯It’s easy to see you two met at EXACTLY the right moment. You were on the same trajectory & were able to be that supportive rock for one another throughout your journeys to sobriety, healing & a peaceful life. Seeing you now it’s hard to imagine either of you ever struggling with addiction...WHICH IS WHY I WILL THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER FOR YOUR HONESTY & TRANSPARENCY IN EVERYTHING YOU DO ON THIS PLATFORM! Your message could be the reason someone makes that decision TONIGHT TO STOP THE CYCLE OF ADDICTION IN THEIR LIVES. That’s how powerful your words are..It’s a beautiful blessing to countless people.
Jess & Reece. You guys inspire me daily..Although I’m almost 10 years into my sobriety & have been blessed beyond belief with a beautiful life. (Flawed obviously but perfectly imperfect!💜) I know it’s important to remember where I was so I never go back. Your channel does that for me. (It also has educated & opened my eyes to the prison system in the USA & it’s DESPERATE need for reform. I will fight along side of you until inmates are treated as humans. Punishment & correction is important but CRUELTY & INHUMANE TREATMENT is not.💯)
I absolutely love you both as fellow addiction survivors..As friends & as children of God. I pray for each of you & your 2 beautiful little ladies daily. I am a supporter since less than 1k & will be until you’re at 1,000,000 & beyond! So grateful to have found your channel & this awesome community. Blessings & Love to you Reece & Jessica. From a “family” member in Minnesota, USA. 🖤🙏🏻😘👑🌟🇺🇸🖤
I just LOVE REESE'S stories!!!! Yall are such a great couple
I hit rock bottom long ago I had no idea I would hit it over and over again ! I learned so much and than realized I learned nothing ! I wish there was a cure or no way to get drugs I researched and I think people deal on the internet ! It made me so sad ! I remember loosing everything and no one answered their door to there house and I just got my meds from pharmacy I took all of them and than got real calm and saw an ambulance I asked them to help me I guess I changed my mind I didn’t want to die I just didn’t know how to live ! I’m so blessed to be alive ! Your so young thank god u have baby and your guy is also very nice sweet guy who cares and loves u all that is the best ! I had it but than lost it I am weak and never learn but I watch your videos to remind me of the battle !
I love how proud she looks when she looks at him. Also he should do public speaking, he’s so captivating.
I love how she loves him ! They are cute ! A perfect couple! They are so happy they give back ! This is what life is like if u can survive addiction! I died so many times and never saw the future I only saw a lil bag ! But u don’t have to live that way there is a beautiful life waiting for anyone ! I’m so blessed thank you god for today and my family and the hottest woman on earth ! We have a lot in common ! If I can get what I have anything can happen if u fight to live you will have it all ! Love these 2 for sharing and it’s helping so many desperate addicts that have no idea how to stop !
I want to hear you're guys love story!!!! 💕
Its up! You'll have to scroll a ways lol
Rachel Patraca I just posted this!!!! You did it much more concise, my comment/request was three paragraphs 😹😹😹
Jessica Kent really?!?! Do it again!!
anniegeiger1031 do what again?? Lol she said she’s already posted s video of their love story?? Scroll through and find it like the rest of us.
Great job Reece! I had a friend who was able to stop heroin. He has been off for 20+ years. I'm proud of both of you. God Bless.
He looks so much more comfortable on camera now!!! Haven’t watched the whole video yet but I just noticed how relaxed he is. 🖤🖤
Watched all of your videos in the last 2 days... and I never took any kind of drugs (okay... sometimes I like a glass of wine ;-) ) but all your experience are so interesting and you are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing all your stories. I guess there are a lot of people you help and give hope. Greetings from Germany 💐💐
I applaud you for that!!! Xoxo
ja das stimmt :) ich suchte ihre videos auch seit ein paar tagen ...:) sie sind echt suuuper inspirierend
@@lisakofler8607 wirkt alles wahnsinnig authentisch und für mich Kleingeist kaum vorstellbar, dass es da so heftig zugehen kann. Faszinierend und inspirierend :)
@@k_peaches ja für mich genauso spannend
so i wanna say something in english, so Jessi and Co can understand it as well..I love your videos and you are such an inspiring person
Y’all are too cute 😂 I love how smart Reece is! He’s such a great guy.
You both share your stories so well- thank you. My state of PA does not have drug court and it's absolutely idiotic. They just keep throwing you in jail and no help to rehabilitate.
Just came from the Reese relaped video. Him saying it's on the addicts time hit me.
Me too girl..🙏🏻♥️
Thanks for your story Reece! It hard to admit your addiction to yourself. I’m 6 years sober as well. Thanks for educating people on addiction. Their is such a stigma on addicts and the type of people they are and I think it’s so important to share stories like this. Much love 💕
Reece is a beautiful soul and I am beyond thankful that the V.A. cared for him so well.
Man this story impacted me. Congratulations to both of you. Changing one's long term habits is such a brave thing to do. May you both have lives filled with joy.
He’s such a good story teller, I want more Reece stories! Live you both are so adorable! I’m so happy Reece had a grandma to be there for him no matter what.. congratulations to both of you in sobriety n still being clean! 🥰🥰🥰
What an inspiring story. I Can't Take My Eyes Off of Jessica she looks like she's in deep pain curing her love describe himself in a bad place. I'm close to crying seeing her go through Reece's pain.
I saw your post about the initial accidental post and how it’d be up for an hour and have been checking back like every five minutes waiting for it to go live 🤣❤️
I am a former alcoholic with over 2 years clean and my rock bottom was when I blacked out and had no memory of going outside with almost no clothes on in the middle of the winter.I quit a 25-30 beer a night habit cold turkey and I’ve never looked back!
Liked before I’ve even started watching 👏🏼 I could listen to y’alls life stories for hours. 💕
You guys give me hope. I’m about three years into sobriety and I’m not gonna lie, it has been difficult. Constantly walking a tightrope to maintain my sobriety and to complete my probation has been a serious challenge, but every time I feel like I can’t keep it up I watch some of your videos and I get re-inspired. Thank you for giving me my hope back once again. ❤️✌️
It's heartbreaking to know he relapsed and lost everything. His rock bottom has yet to come and that's scary knowing he doesn't have Jess to pick up the pieces
Unfortunately when someone is very narcissistic they will only really reach out for help once everyone else can see the problem in front of them. Even then they still believe they can manage themselves and take care of their own Addiction on their own
What helped me most was hearing other people's stories. Hearing their rock-bottom stories made me realize how much I was taking what I had for granted.
I love watching you two! I love how supportive y'all are towards one another! ❤️❤️
The amount of stuff you both have overcome and the way you found each other is crazy inspiring
We love seeing Reece, we’re his viewers too! I don’t know what it is but this video had me sobbing. You’re both such wonderful individuals. So inspirational and beautiful souls!
Going back and watching this it’s so obvious how far Reece has come in terms of your channel and being on it. You could tell he was done and ready for the video to end after his story and then you were all “I have questions” and he was all “okay…for your viewers.” But now it’s kinda like he enjoys it ;)
You guys are the dynamic duo for sure! Keep up the amazing content.
Man oh man, methamphetamine. Heroin was my main thing, but I got into meth towards the end of my addiction. I never liked the feeling of shadow people and being up and delusional for 3 days. Don't miss ANY of that.
Shadow ppl...ugh yes
Can definitely see Reece with a successful lifestyle/fitness/rehab channel 😎 guys got serious youtube appeal. Would settle for a 2nd Jess & Reece fam channel though
I think it's so cute how reece starting blushing when you said hey stud, you can truly see the love between you two
What amazing and supportive women to always be there. She was firm that he needed treatment, but so supportive.
I love when Reece is on the channel! Please have more of him. He reminds me of my dad so much. 😭
Jessica S omg me too. I didn't even realize that until you
Said something. Wow 💜
Holy shit 🤯 I just discovered y’all last night and I’ve been binging your videos so I’m catching up. I’m from Northwest Arkansas and about fell out of my chair when he said that.
Nobody is ever from Arkansas. I’m always so excited when someone else is but saying NWA specifically is crazy.
Those dreaded “can I come home” phone calls....I felt that shit in my heart when u talked about that.
I was 4 days sober and relapsed, watching these videos really helps motivate me to get my shit together and chase sobriety. Thank yall, and I hope you, the kids, and Reece are doing alright despite yalls current circumstances, stay strong guys i know things will start looking up for yall.❤️💘
You guys are both very well spoken, it’s a pleasure to listen!
Ahhh another story I just loved. This brightened my day. My brother started huffing air duster in a VA rehab because he knew he could pass UA's & the high was short. I commented on another video when I first found you & have been binge watching your videos. I mentioned my brother passed away almost 4 years ago & although it was & still is very rough at times...he was at the point where his only way out of addiction was going to be death, prison & possibly hurting someone else very badly. Thank you & Reece for sharing these very intimate times if your lives with us.
Bless u 🙏
One of my fav couples on YT! Love hearing your stories
You two are just great people! My brother has been on drugs for over 30 years now. It's a tough road & very heartbreaking. You guys should seriously do speeches, you would influence a lot of people! Good for you guys! ❤
I literally just LOL'd I was watching the video and my daughter needed something so I left the room and came back when he said "I returned the vacuum" and I said "wait what?" out loud. Lmaoo Idk why I cracked up, maybe it's sleep deprivation . Also, I just really love him. Like the wisdom when he talks just FLOWSSSSS
My best friend just celebrated 8 years sober, i don't have any experience with drug addiction or prison myself other than being in my friends life, I really appreciate these videos so I can get more of a glimpse of that world and better support my friend
My mother is a schizophrenic meth addict it's been really hard on my family, she sees things we dont and is a danger to herself and others. We cant get her help, shes eay to far gone and actively refuses treatment
Im so sorry!!! But never lose hope 🖤🖤🖤
@@JessicaKent thanks means allot coming from you
I hope you have a really good day... Remember, this too shall pass.
@Cry Babyxoxoxo thanks for the kind words it really does mean allot
Everybody needs someone who refuses to give up on them. Your grandmother did that for you! You said you expected her to be at church on Sunday so that was part of her lifestyle. You know she loved you and was praying so hard for you. Never never give on those you love!!!
I'm so excited for this video!! You both are very lucky to have found each other, and to be able to make a great team!!!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Everyone recovering from addiction including myself trust that we can beat this terrible affliction.. we can do this y'all !! Much love and respect thank you for sharing and caring
Awww the way jess looks at him when he said he never used anymore🥺🥰 u too r so cute💞
I just love you guys so much. As a recovering addict I have my ups and downs constantly. Y’all really keep me motivated. Thank you Reece and Jess for sharing. Happy Birthday weekend girl!!!!!
Hé looks terrible and in active addiction?
You are both such beautiful people. Thank you for sharing and being so honest. I am a grandma and realize how important being there for our children/grandchildren is. It seems like life is just so much harder for kids now. But you gave some good advice...SLOW DOWN! It's not a race you want to finish first!
I am so happy for you both. Congratulations on staying clean. I have 17 years' clean.
