- I struggled with addiction for almost 10 years. I have been in and out of jail/prison for years. I now have my Bachelor's degree in criminal program support services. 📚 I hope to use my experience in the system and my degree to help others better understand addiction and our prison system. This story is based on my own personal opinion and experiences.

I left things out ..not on purpose lol Just because the video file took over an hour to film..then the voice over needed to be done..then i had to edit both 😅 So basically this video took me 9 hours. Anyway..I hope everyone has a great weekend! ❤❤❤❤
U are so strong. Thank u for helping so many people. U are one hell of a woman. One day at a time.
I loved goosebumps!
As always u did an incredible job Jess 😊! We are all so proud of u and how far u have come! #rideordie🖤💪
So much love to you sweet girl. 💜💜💜
You to!! Thank you for another amazing upload!!!❤😎
Ugh.....these late 80's early 90's teachers telling girls with depression they have a 'bad attitude' and protecting bullies. I felt that :-(
Yup. Depression was brushed off as a moody and hormonal teenager.
Yup. But I got it mostly from the other students. They hated me for being Depressed. “Emo girl” was my nickname :(
It still happens in some schools.im 18 and i experienced this
It still happens today. I went through bullying in 2018 and I got punished while the bullies got off scot-free. It’s disgusting and it needs to stop, once and for all.
That still goes on in our public schools
Dude I miss this era of RUclips when “Draw my Life” was the trend.
yes i wanna see more!
Ahh I loved these videos haha
If anyone can bring this trend back, it will be Jess!
Same
Lol we’ve seen all the lives now
Is no one going to talk about how calming her voice is?
I absolutely enjoyed her voice... Her voice made me pay attention more
Guided meditations would be GOLD from Jessica!!
i legit felt like i was watching asmr while watching this - love !!!
Agreed!
Ik
"Weird" is an insult when you're young and a compliment when you grow up.
When told I'm weird I like to point out that from my perspective, they're the ones that are weird.
💯
Truer words haven't been said
I feel like I understand why people get into trouble 400% more than before I watched this. I have respect for you lady.
drugs/alcohal are self medicate for depression, anxiety, ptsd, sexual/physical/emotional abuse etc..
Yes and her name is Jessica not lady
@@susanboyd3260 pretty depressing to know people go throught this because of there past
@@Pooks55 and not just their past but their families' past
There should be a whole class in schools dedicated to how much bullying can affect the course of someone's life.
I'd be interested to know more about your sister if you'd be willing to share. Where she ended up, did she struggle like you, do you still have a relationship, etc?
Me too
In my opinion, true friends do not ask you to steal nor do they entice you to take drugs or condone your self-destructive behaviors - because they truly care about YOU
True. Thought this as well. She took advantage of her naivety and loneliness!
But she didn't know cuz she had no friends.... To begin with
@@serapia1976 Yes, true!
It gives me hope to know that someone like me who has been through a lot even in childhood can overcome things. I’m in the process of recovery and staying strong. Thank you.
Congrats on recovery!It's hard to gain/maintain sobriety,but so worth it.Im on that path for a long time now,thankfully.Best advice I've ever gotten: Remember relapse is part of recovery so don't be too hard on urself,just dont give up!~Much 💖
* Ur sooo pretty,btw!!!
❤❤❤
Prayers! @Some girl
Ur the best. Keep it up. U got this.
❤❤❤❤
Did i watch a 3 minute ad so jessica could get that coin, yes, yes i did
if you click on the ad, she gets paid more
Ahahaha I was doing the same!!!
Same af
*We
I think you only have to watch the first 15 seconds - I think it was maybe Fathering Autism (another RUclips channel) that said that :)
The end of this video had me in tears at the ending message because today is my first job interview after staying home for an entire year recovering from ptsd. You gave me strength.
Hope your job interview went well!
She really needs to try asmr. Maybe like a story time with some camera visuals as well. Her voice is so soothing. 💖
Yesss!! Was thinking the same thing watching this!
She sounds like same darling
period!💖 love her voice and her vibes altogether.
I was thinking the same thing!
Yeah the best asmr videos are the ones that aren't even meant to be asmr. It's when people try to make one that it doesn't work.
When you said 8 years sober, I cheered out loud for you. That was an incredible story and you are wonderful. So much love to you and your beautiful family
I love this girl so much, she’s so special! It’s been one hell of a journey but look at her now. I’m so very happy to see Jess in such a good place. So much of her early life was spent feeling “weird “ & unlovable. I honestly think a lot of addicts are self medicating tremendous internal pain. Anyway, she pushed through all that & is an inspiration to many. Her studies & addiction program are helping so many young people just like her. Love you, Jess & am so proud of how far you’ve come. You’re awesome, sis! 💕
This gave me chills. REMEMBER guy's ANYTHING is possible!!!!!
Absolutely ❤
Anything?
"My name is Jessica and that's supposed to be a heart". LoL. Glad you said that cause I was like, "oh it's a butterfly 🦋".
😂🦋
I'm already teary-eyed at the title.You've come such a long way! So proud of u...and Reece! Love u Jess!!!🌹🌹🌹
I kinda got teary eyed myself
Just 2 minutes into it and I am all teared up 🥺❤️ She is SO amazing and has come so far ❤️
@@meag_ken822 She is truly one of a kind! And an absolutely wonderful mama!!!
Ashley Widener 💯❤️
Your story is the epitome of a classical antiheroine in books, a flawed yet compelling person and someone who has made bad decisions yet we love, you are real honest and vulnerable and I love you for it. If you were to make a memoir I would read it. You are amazing and if you were a character in a movie or book series you would be my favorite ❤
I loved this Jessica. I work in Law but also grew up in foster care and my mum was an addict for most of her life. She couldn't get sobre and ended up passing away when I was 18, but I am so so proud of you for getting sobre and working so hard for the custody of your child. They will be so proud of you for being their mum. You've done so well x
It's interesting how the common theme here is not having friends, not having community and just wanting to feel like you belong somewhere. I'm heartbroken that lack of those things lead you down really awful paths. It's weird how I struggled with loneliness too but it manifested in binge eating and Internet addiction. So different.....but still an addiction. Loneliness really kills a lot of people. I appreciate your channel and the work you do so much, Jessica. I wish you continued success, fulfillment and love in your life.
I was an emotional eater also. It took me many years to completely work through that, but I did it on my own.
Your story is one hell of a tale. Full of ups and downs but you persevered, my mom was a single mother, to a single baby with a physical disability, but I’m able to read, write, walk and am self reliant. People didn’t treat me all that well because of said disability, and growing up in the 90’s was…”fun”, so I get why you were so angry at the other girls, not many people helped me when I needed it but I’m sorta ok now, your story gives me hope that one day I’ll be able to get the happiness I want in life, it’ll make the 20+ surgeries I had just to be “normal” worth every penny, thank you for sharing your story with the billions of people on this earth, wishing you and your little family all the best
Your little girls are so blessed to have such a strong, beautiful mom- they are going to be so proud of their mom when they grow up 💛
This video wrecked me. Thinking about the double life you lived when we were friends as little young teens and how clueless I was of the pain you lived every day. Love you and so happy you are healthy now ❤
I just found your channel by accident, and I’m completely obsessed. Thank you for sharing your life and experiences so openly and honestly. You are an inspiration. I just recently relapsed, after almost 10 yrs, and am in the process of picking up the pieces -again. You remind me that it’s possible, so thank you for that.
No matter where you come from and what you have gone through, you give me inspiration that you can always bounce back and live your best life. You are truly and inspiration, not because of your past, but how you were able to recover. ❤️ love your videos
I loved the way you filmed this. You’re the only RUclipsr who’s videos I can just sit and watch for hrs at a time.
When I saw that title I thought video needed to be one hour long... Your story hits so hard. When you talked about being an alcoholic while you are barely even a teen, I had to pause the video. Your voice sounds so much softer in this than in your other videos. It's both calming and hard to watch.
PS: Despite it being such an emotional topic, I couldn't help but burst out laughing when you drew that baby bump. I just envisioned Micah's adorable little face and then you just put that line there and wrote 'baby' in it. Your humour in this is also one of your best qualities.
ALSO, girl i really want to encourage you to write a book about your life someday!!! that would be amazing and so many people would love to read your stories, because they’re so real and relatable for so many of us. maybe one day!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ (LIKE IF YOU AGREE!!!!) also i know that’s easier said than done, but just an idea 💡
Amazing women are the ones who have faced the biggest hurdles, been to hell & back then use their experiences to reach out to others. I admire your strength & am grateful for how much you have encouraged me. It can't be easy sharing so many personal details or putting yourself out there. I absolutely applaud you & am so happy I found your channel. I have so much respect for you!
💌 Much love from Oklahoma 💌
I’m really hoping and praying that my cousin who is 37 will become sober wile she is in prison for dealing. She lost everything, 3 kids, her house she owned. And her marriage. I’m forever by her side, it’s really heartbreaking seeing not just her, but the whole family being effected by her addiction. I don’t know you, but I’m so proud of you.
Drinking and smoking at 14? AND in trouble like that? Damn, that must've been a very tough time for you and i'm sorry you had to go through all that stuff.. I'm 14 and never considered that but I am SO SO happy that you are now sober and have been for so long! Love you!
Can I just say how brave you are for even thinking about a video like this! These topics must be really difficult to talk about, but you had the courage to talk about your rough life growing up, may I ask what made you want to talk about it? 💕 Hope you and your loved ones stay healthy and safe!
I started sharing my story to help inspire others ❤
I agree with you 100! Just couldn't find the right words to express it!
@@JessicaKent stupid question how do we know what order your 📹 were filmed(or uploaded?)
Jessica Kent ❤️ I really Hope life brings you and your family the happiness you deserved!
You’ve come so far, don’t feel like you have to explain that own ittt. You did that. You should so freaking proud of yourself.
I had a similar childhood. I'm so glad that my mum was so incredibly supportive an facilitated me being able to cope with the bullying. I stayed in school and I'm doing really well. Im so glad that your life is better aswell.
From the long hours of being CNA to working two jobs simultaneously dam Jessica I love your work ethic
You have opened my eyes to understand addiction and understand how things in the jail system needs to change. I now strongly believe that addicts and people who are not in jail for a serious crime need help. We need to give people a 2nd chance. Thank you for sharing your story.
I feel so sorry you had no one to give you supporting hand a help you out of drugs. Its a serious issue when a child or teenage kid became addicted and it started because a he/she got medicine in hospital. I am so proud of you for your life now and how you grew up into being a role model for your kids. Also I admire you're humble, understanding to consequences you had to face
It’s really cool to hear your story in order. Because we hear all your stories but they aren’t always in order sequentially. So this was really cool to see when everything actually took place. Glad you are doing amazing!!!
The fact that you got a podcast together is not a miracle. It's down to your hard work and determination. I think you're amazing. In fact, whenever I feel like I 'can't be bothered' with my own studies, I think of you and how you put in the work everyday to get your degree and It motivates me to buckle down and get on with mine.
Just had to share that!
"You take you everywhere you go". Ain't that the truth...
Jess!!! I'm 6 months sober! I usually say its only from tramadol but qutting it made me a better person
❤❤❤
yay! congrats! super duper proud of you 💓
So proud of the person you’ve become and the life you’ve earned.
You may not be a good artist but your a fantastic story teller. Many blessings to you and your family.
You'd have a natural voice for ASMR! Your voice is super relaxing to listen to.
You should be SO VERY PROUD of yourself, Jess. You've been through a LOT in your short time here on this earth, but you set your mind to it and you've overcome obstacles that were near impossible.
YOU did it, by YOURSELF. Nobody, not a single SOUL can take that from you, Jessica.
You're a tough little cookie. You and my daughter would be besties if you lived in south Georgia, I'm sure. You remind me a LOT of her. (She's been sober for 9 years!) As a matter of fact, TODAY is her "baby's" 8th birthday!
I'm SUPER proud of who you've become, Jess. And I thoroughly enjoyed your life story.
When you drew getting Micah back, I cried lol. So happy to see you and your family so happy and healthy after everything you've been through, Jess. You're such an inspiration!
This was so interestingly different. I've never seen anyone tell their story this way (I can't draw either lol). I also got made fun of as a child for my clothes, the way I looked, and the fact that I too loved to read!!! Because of how beautifully your story ended, I actually cried a little bit! They were happy tears...for you. Congratulations on being sober over 8 years, and congrats on finding your true happiness without substances!!! Love from Ohio !!
Your story made me “ugly cry”... I’m so happy you are here and share with all of us. I genuinely love and respect you.
Wow this video left me in tears. So inspiring. Being in my 20’s and loving to party, I find myself so lost sometimes. Hearing your story reminds me that I still have a future to take control of. Thank you.
The fact that after all I’ve been thru, what was the catalyst for ptsd was losing ur daughter.. that just shows how compassionate u r 🤍
"& that was me flipping them off" 😂 that just made me chuckle. Not even halfway through the video yet & I love it, I can relate to you a lot. I moved 8 times by the time I was 8 years old, I was lucky to stay in a spot for more than a year. Like I say on almost every video of yours, I love you & your videos so much 💛
Same, but I moved 5 times, not for the same reasons as her though fortunately
So interesting! Thank you for posting. You've overcome so much, it's truly inspiring. 8 years sobriety, a family, a house. You've done well!
I'm only halfway through and I'm so sorry. You are amazing for your 180 and bullies can go kick a can.
I was very straight edge and nerdy through all my schooling and early 20s and had high school classes with some people who were probably going through some stuff like you did and lived their teens rough. I tried to not associate with them for my safety and because we didn't have much in common, but I hope they turned it around like you
Never underestimate the importance of good apples and maple syrup
I'm from upstate NY on Lake Ontario, and yes, those tart, crisp apples and pure maple syrup helped get me through a really tough childhood that could've easily set me on the same path as Jessica. I was lucky
Jessica, I saw today the first time one of your videos, and was immediately impressed, it was the one about the girls in the prison and the shower. I went on and looked another 3-4 videos, and kept being impressed of the way you live your life. Most of the people here in the forum are young, I'm over 70 and passed a very turbulent life, starting to be a refuge and being then taken away from my family at the age of three, then later being bullied by the schoolmates and the teachers of being historically the enemy ( I'm still hate every day of my school-time), and later I found some love and but lost it, then I became meanwhile even rich and had my own airplane, but found myself being then cheated by a partner with whom I started the business 30 years ago. Today I live with my 2 cats on 300 Dollars/months which money I get from the government and try to come down from my depths. And never the less, I still feel love for the life, and I do my plans of how to recover by learning programming Machine Learning, and do find myself of still being excited by the sun-shining and the smiling of my cats (because they can smile:) and at the end, I consider myself, even if nobody agrees, of being lucky, really lucky in my life. The sound of your voice-over tells me that you are my sister as you have also the talent to wash away the negative experiences and look with love for the next step in your life. Thank you for motivating so many of your young followers, it gives me the security of a good future for the humankind. Really, thank you Jessica!!!
You did a good job at this Jess!!!
My eyes were watery with tears the whole time but from sad to happy.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good luck on your sobriety keep up the good work.Always remember your kids need you more than anything. I’m so happy you got your daughter back and you’ve found happiness for a change!! You deserve it !! God bless you and your family
Really late to the party but I'd just like to say that I found your channel recently and I really love that you fought so hard to be a mom to your daughter. I was adopted from China during the one-child policy era when women had the choice to parent their children, especially their daughters, stolen from them, and as an adult, grappling with that knowledge is really hard. Your daughter is so blessed to grow up knowing that her mom fought to stay with her and won ✊ I wish my birth mom had the chance to parent me, or at least fight for that right, not because I don't love my adoptive family or feel grateful for the life that I live, but because a parent losing a child and a child losing their first parents - that shouldn't be the condition on which someone is able to have a good life and a happy family, and the child should never feel the burden to feel grateful for the loss on which everything they have was built. It brings me so much joy to know that in this world, one less child will grow up feeling that way. Your daughter will grow up with a success story, a victory, being the start of her life with you and your family and that warms my heart ❤️
I've listened to you tell this story like 50 times. I find joy in it every time. Sometimes the experiences you describe echo mine. Other times I see where we differ. I find joy in seeing you grow and develop as a person. I'm glad that you're still sober and are taking care of you and your family.
Girl yessss I’ve been dying to have you do this!!! Have a wonderful 4th and tell Reece thank you for his service. Much love and happiness.
My god, Jessica, you are a miracle. It’s amazing what the program can do. I’m so glad you’re telling your story. You’re doing such important work putting yourself out there like this
I didn't know that you had a second channel! Thank you for letting us know. I've been watching your videos constantly since I found your channel and I'm excited to dive into your podcasts aswell! Your strength, persistence and wisdom is so apparent in every one of your videos. It can be tough to look back and reflect upon some of our earlier memories, thank you for allowing us to be part of this intimate video!
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU JESSICA!! I cried a lil at the end because you are a beautiful soul and you deserve the happy life that u finally have made for yourself ❤️💗❤️💗
My mom and dad’s names are Susan and Jim, too! 😂
My parents names are Betty Ann and Carl Allen. Idk why I said it! And I am named after 3 people
What a small world we live in
That’s ironic
Your story had me in tears. You've been thru so much. Thanx for your candidness and courage.
You sound so much like Michelle Phan in 2009 in your voice overs haha.
I loved this though and I'm really proud of you, for how far you've come.
The end of this made me cry 😢 I’m so happy for your journey and how far you have come as a human. I’m so happy you e come to this platform, you’re a beacon of light in a dim world. Keep it up Jess! We love you.
this is one of the most heart warming things I have ever seen in my life
Fellow upstate New Yorker over here, born and raised. Proud of you and how far you’ve come. Keep smashing those goals!! 💜
Thank you for sharing your story in this way. I've heard portions of it here and there in other videos and storytimes, but to have this drawn out and linear like this really helps me. Just one decision, like becoming friends with that girl when you were so alone and sad, changed your life. But also, just one other decision helped you fight for a better life!
You deserve every single ounce of happyness you have. I am from Mexico, and I moved to the UK to do my masters degree. Sometimes at first I felt like I was a total outsider and that I did not diserve to be here, and then I found your videos. You have no idea how much you have helped me to realize how beautiful life is. You have teached me about how a strong person can go through even the hardest problems. I REALLY love you and CG Kid, best youtubers EVER.
This is the type of video that should go viral instead of the non-productive garbage.
Dear Jessica,
it's beautiful to see where you are coming from and where you're at now. I am so happy for you. You worked so hard to get there and you're such a great mom. I love to see you succeed and to be happy ♥ ♥ ♥
You’re amazing!! It’s nice to see someone REAL with all this crazy drama going on!
I couldn’t be as strong, as you. I have you , to admire. What a life , you’re had . And lived to tell your story .
I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I understand why you guys left, friends and family back in NY but for anyone curious the cost of living itself is a lot lower than in NY which may have played a part in why her mom wanted to go. Everyone I’ve talked to in NY state says it’s crazy expensive
Girl when you said "you take you wherever you go I felt that in my soul!!
Yes mate so happy, pleased for and proud of you and how hard you've worked on your journey. Legend.
So sad that so many don't make it to health and happines, or even to survive at all, due to the amount of obstacles put in people's way by oppressive systems.
Fuck the prisons and the governments who make it so hard for people from poor backgrounds to live life.
omg this is so motivating you are an inspiration girl
i mean i have realised how we have everything and still be unsatisfied and you have been through so much and didnt lose hope
you are amazing
I was obsessed with Goosebumps too 😂
Same! and Animorphs
ME TOO!!!!! And Babysitter's Club books!
I'm also in recovery and this was so encouraging to hear, thank you for sharing! ❤️ God bless!
You’ve been through so much. I’m so sorry you had to experience so much hardship, but I’m so glad you are where you are now. You’re an inspiration 💖💖
*I knew you had upstate NY vibes!! Our story right up to addiction and prison are so similar, I freakin love your channel and what you're doing girl!!*
You’re so inspiring and you teach me so much on a daily basis. Thank you for all of your hard work and for sharing your experiences. You have such a beautiful story.💜💜💜
Im over here crying like a baby by the end Jess 😭 thank you for all that you share with us on RUclips and being you ❤️
Lmao you're adorable. When you mentioned moving around a lot and drew those dots - "that's us moving" 😂
It's kinda really sad though because her family couldn't afford to give her a stable, permanent home.
OMGG SEE EVEN AFTER ALL THAT YOU CAN STILL LIVE A GOOD LIFE YOUR STORY IS TRULY INSPIRING!!!
Girl I'm 22 years old and I LOVE and always have loved goosebumps. This video helps me to make my own videos which I'll hope you will view one day :)
Idk how I ended up on your videos but you are so honest and charming to watch!! Congrats on being sober for so long! Keep it up!
Beautiful!! It was different but it was like telling a story to a child. In a sweet loving voice❤️ I loved it
I recently fell down the rabbit hole on your vids. Gotta tell you, your story is presented so beautifully. Well done! Keep moving forward, the sky is limit ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
I’ve been sober for four years. Hope i can have my own life with a FAMILY someday
Omg 4 years??? I'm so incredibly proud of you🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜 you're such a warrior. Don't give up babes, I know someday you'll have your own beautiful life with a beautiful family🥺🦋 I believe in you🥺💘
Your story is so crazy. I couldn't imagine going through what you went through.
Damn. You rock girl 👍 you can be so proud of yourself and I’m very impressed. Greetings from Germany ❤️
My twin sons will be 30 next week Saturday. I couldn't imagine them living this life. God bless you Jessica Kent....
Love you Jess! I just found out I have to be quarantined in my room for a few days and I was so excited when I got the notification that you posted this video. Your story is so inspiring. When will you reach nine years of sobriety? We'd love to celebrate with you!!
Hi Jess! I LOVE YOU! You're one of my biggest inspirations. My heart broke for you over all of the horrible shit you had to deal with. I'm also from upstate New York (specifically New Hartford), and when you mentioned about how the girls (who you threw a book at) didn't get in trouble for bullying you, it made me think of so many situations that I was in where I would get bullied but, I would get in trouble for defending myself and the bullies got away with shit because their principal knew the parents or because the school didn't care. But I'm extremely proud for all of the progress that you made in your journey. And you're an amazing mother to your beautiful kids. I hope that you and your family are doing well. And thank you so much for existing. I see you as a sister with how you taught me so much through your amazing videos. I love you always and forever 💖💖💖💖💖💖😘😘😘😘😘😘🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I wouldn’t mind a few story times accompanied with the dry erase board drawings. I really enjoyed this one Jess xoxo.
I'm so happy that you're doing well now. Your journey and story is heartbreaking and I'm so proud of you for making your life better. As someone who also has ptsd (mine's from abuse) just remember that we're in this together and you're not alone. ❤
