Have y’all ever thought about talking in schools? I feel like y’all could actually get through to some kids because of how real and non patronizing you are. I mean of course you’d have to censor some things but I feel like a lot of people have this very narrow image of what ‘prison drug addicts’ look like and don’t realize it can happen to anyone and that you can really truly turn your life around. Y’all are great and strong and so compassionate. What you are doing is so important 👏🏽❤️
@B B Right? Same experience here. It's all just 'drugs are bad don't do them' but they never really explain why and better yet show the consequences of drug use. Instead of 'don't do it' they should educate on 'here's what happens if you use drugs' High School kids especially are definitely intelligent enough to be exposed to a frank and honest conversation about using and life altering consequences that can happen, like in Jessica's videos.
I agree kids need to here the raw truth. I gave a talk to a group of teenagers about being a teen mum and it was great they all had so many questions and I feel like hearing it from someone other than a parent or teacher was good for them.
Rachel Mazza I agree! She’s so beautiful, well-spoken, articulate - she gives people like me a better image! But like she said in the beginning...addiction doesn’t discriminate
Reece is a natural. He probably doesn’t even realize how inspiring he is. He speaks about this stuff with the perfect balance of realism and authenticity, without sounding preachy, that would make for great public speaking. Jess too! You guys should speak in schools and rehab facilities. Tell the people what’s up but from some real homies, not mom & dad types that are just talking down. 🖤💪🏼
My younger brother Steven age 27, od’d on April 10th 2019, methadone, alcohol and pneumonia combo stopped his breathing. He was on life support for 19 hours. His heart stopped forever 20 minutes after life support was turned off. I miss him so much.
@@kathywithak7529 I'm so sorry for your loss honey! That's awful! My boyfriend has ODed 3 times and was on life support all 3 times but the first time was the worst cuz he had 5 strokes and brain damage. He recovered but now has a benign brain tumor from the damage done to his brain (from the lack of oxygen when he ODed) and has some behavioral issues and still struggles with addiction. He has almost 2 months clean right now and is working full time. I'm so proud of how far he's come. I have 6 years clean off heroin and 8 years clean from cocaine but still struggle with being on suboxone.
So glad that you mentioned what you did about your family being patient and loving helping you. I've been such a financial burden on my grandmother. I just want to be sober so I can make it up to her in the last years of her life. I did not want her to die worried about me and my family.
I am a dental hygienist and I am always proud of recovered/ addicts that are brave enough to come in because I can’t imagine how scary that can be. Its such an intense drug.
It would be so cool to see a series of recovered subscriber interviews! That would be encouraging for viewers that are struggling or even family member's of addicts who are watching to see someone recovered. I've been sober 6 years in December, have a crazy story, and would love to tell my story if you ever decided to do a series like that!
@@amanda-mannigoss907 Congratulations! I would love to hear other people's stories, and tell my own - I've never really done that before! It's still inspiring to me to hear other people's stories even after all these years!
I love when you two do videos together. You two really play well off each other. I can so relate to the "feeling better than until you aren't any longer". I always thought I was better than the next addict because I had a college degree, a great good paying job, my child, a nice place to live, and I wasn't like those other addicts until I just wasn't. I lost almost anything. I lost my great job and the respect I had in my field, my home, and my child. The only thing I didn't lost was my license in my field and I couldn't be more grateful for that because it allowed me to build my life again from the ground up. I went to living in a beautiful home to living in a "program" that was housed in a wet shelter being sexually harrassed by staff trying to hand on tight to the few days clean I had. I lost my brother while I was living in that shelter and it rocked my world and I haven't used since. Today I have my career back, my child and a now almost 2 yr old who has never experianced his Mom high, a beautiful home and most of all respect for myself. I am 4 months shy of 8 years clean. If you're struggling but you are breathing today you still have the oppurtunity to get clean, and recovery can be so beautiful and so worth every obstacle you have to get through. If you need help ask someone, it will be the best thing you could do for yourself.
My dad did not get out of his addiction. He passed 2 years ago to alcoholism and you guys have helped me so much recently, understanding the point of view of an addict. Thank you and you guys are such a great couple💖
im on day 7 without cocaine, having used it in all forms (crack, powder, IV) for the last 13 years more or less nonstop since i was 16. im 28 and have my whole life ahead of me. been through heroin before but quit that 8 years ago. i got this fam
He barely has time to film with me ...and theres absolutely no way he could edit...so i would have to and im barely hanging on with both of our channels as it is lol But ty!! 🖤🖤🖤
Kayla Lorentz me too!!! She stole a white gold charm bracelet that meant the world to me someone got it for me and it was our favorite things in little white gold charms! It was very expensive, but I didn’t even care about that! It was our story and I wouldn’t of cared if it was plastic, it meant the world to me!!!! I remember taking it off before bed, putting it in a pocket of my tote bag we had all stayed the night together, a couples night kinda thing.... and I KNOW she saw me put it up.... next morning Igo to look for it and it’s GONE -- she helped me look for it for days! Fast forward to when her and her man got an apartment-- they left me there one day bc I didn’t want to ride to town with them to grocery shop... I went the bathroom to take a shower - found the pawn ticket from a month prior-- she got $200 out of a $1,000 bracelet 😭 Like I said I do not care about money, that was the most expensive piece of jewelry I had ever received and it was so special bc of the details..... I cried for weeks. Ps- I asked he abit the pawn ticket it was hers she had from graduation from her grandma-- wtf!?!?!?!? I graduated with her hung out with her every day all day never once saw a charm bracelet 🤦♀️
Sh#t! I probably had 15 of those dirt bags around me in my addιction. Also been accused of stealing someone else's dope so many times when I didn't. Unreal.
I’m a high school freshman in an early college program, this is really helpful because I want to be a substance abuse counselor when I’m older, thank you. 🥰
I’m so glad I found your channel, I grew up literally surrounded by addiction and it’s so nice to hear someone talk about all these things in such a real yet not condescending way, it’s appreciated :,)
in my town we have a gym called Addicts to Athletes and the point is to “Erase & Replace” :) it has saved a lot of people, but most importantly keeps them on the right track. i love your videos Jess ❤️ i may just be an outsider looking in but I love educating myself and others on the realities of addiction.
POWERFUL, POWERFUL video. Thank You both. I lost my oldest brother to meth in April 2014. Our Mom found him in his bedroom; finally "at peace." Many years he fought it and our Mom would just show him Love and patience. He just never found his way back. R.I.P. Big Brother. ...message ends.
My cousin is a recovering addict and dealer. I have asked him to watch the two of you. He’s done 2 stints in prison, but happy to say he is 4 years clean & doing well!! As always, thank you for sharing your story!! PS, my husband isn’t a body builder, but he can clear a room with his dang farts!! Our grandkids thinks it’s funny and gross all at the same time!!🤢😂🤣
i love watching you guys, it really helps me understand the mind of an addict. My brother is still digging to his bottom, he is nearly 40. I hope he gets there soon so we can all help him back up to the top, sober. Thank you for sharing your story
I was lucky I never got into meth..I've tried it but it was never my thing.. my demons were always opioids and alcohol. I love your videos and have been motivated to make my own soon. Addiction is so crazy. I wish you and Reece the best!
It's amazing to see the genuine happiness Jessica feels when anyone mentions someone getting their life together. You would make such an incredible counselor for kids, adults, addicts, and honestly anyone else
Thank you both so much for sharing your story. Not only does your videos help addicts through their rough time in life but you are helping the ones who are trying to be there for them as well. You two are great!! Thank you again.
Hi Jessica, you are so strong and I just want to let you know that both of you are helping me stay sober. You remind me that life is better when sober, and that I will be able to overcome addiction. Thank you.
This is 1000% accurate! The differences between meth culture and heroin culture is like comparing apples to a refrigerator. It's soooooo different! Comparing my old "meth friends" and my old "heroin friends" is like comparing night and day. I was addicted to H for 10 years on and off and meth for about 8 months and those 8 months on meth were very eye opening. I don't even know how to describe that time other than it just really messed me up mentally, more so than those 10 years on H did. I've seen a girl I thought was my friend strip off her clothes and run around the outside of her house because she thought there were undos outside and then she searched my car and her house...I've slept with a crow bar before...just insane stuff. I would love to see a comparison of the two from you guys!
@B B I remember one of the girls I was hanging out with saying something about how heroin addicts were junkies and dirty and it was the heroin addicts that would snitch if they got busted, or something like that, but I found it to be the exact opposite. That entire group of people would just constantly snitch on each other to try and get themselves out of trouble. They would steal something from you one day and try to sell it back to you the next. Don't get me wrong, when my bf and I were deep in active addiction we did some pretty shady things to get H, but it was child's play compared to some of the things I've seen people do on meth, myself included. H slows you down and you just want to sit back and chill while you nod off. Meth makes you crazy.
Thanks so much. I love you guys. I watch every single video. I used to pick up my friend sometimes just so he could have some quality sleep because he slept on someone’s couch for about two years. I’d cook him a good meal. We’d talk... never judged him. I was always afraid it was going to be the last time I was going to see him alive. It’s very sad. He is still struggling but in recovery. He wanted to. My other friend though did not make it and passed away. I personally don’t have a history of addiction. A lot of people don’t understand and judge. I think me being so empathetic really helps to understand and not judge people. No matter who they are. You two are beautiful people. Good job you guys. Much love
Diane B Just loving an addict is so powerful!! I don't mean enabling but just them (knowing) in their heart that they have a reason to try and someone cares is always powerful, even though we have to do it for ourselves.
Spotted Elephant that’s totally true. And I know they both really appreciated it. They did. I got a lot of love from both of them and that was not the reason I did these things for them. I was careful too. Always hiding anything valuable in my house etc. But they never did me any harm. I wanted to support them. Have them talk to me whenever they needed someone that would listen or take care of them. They both lost many people because of addiction. Barely anyone wanted to put up with their crap anymore. And that is understandable too. But I couldn’t just leave them just out of love and compassion. I always hoped they would recover one day and just want to change things around. One of them is doing well and the other one did not make it. It’s just worth trying to support someone in some sort of way. It can really help.
Jess and Reese as being apart of a couple who are both recovering wonderfully. You two are such an inspiration! 💗 love the tweaker story times 😂🥰😭💙 so accurate my husband does not look like a heroin addict at all but addiction doesn’t discriminate. I would love for him to be able to tell his story of his dance with heroin he was a star athlete turned homeless heroin addict at 19
I'm so vanilla, half the time I'm having a real hard time following what they are saying, with all the lingo lol But I appreciate the authenticity, so keep doing what you're doing :)
My sister and I are 21 months apart (22 & 23) and we are seriously obsessed with jessica LOL. First of all she’s stunning and second so real. I am impressed with her continuously!! Love you Jessica. And Reese. Reese is seriously the cutest! You should do a podcast!!!
You and Reece rock together. This is sooooo important what you guys are doing. When I got in to recovery, I didn't know anyone that was clean and sober. There weren't computers back then, no facebook, no you tube. I am proud of both of you. Being clean isn't easy, but, it's better.
Hey Jess! i know this is an older video of yours but I came across it this morning. i just celebrated my 6 months in recovery and can relate so very much. Thank you & Reece for your story, honesty, experience, strength and hope. love ya'll.
I love how Reece emphasizes how being loved and supported by his family helped him. So many people think that the only way to help someone is to treat them like garbage and that’ll magically make them a-okay.
Thank you guys for yet another amazing video. I love when Reece is on the channel Jes. Thank you Reece for coming on and talking about this. Y’all are both such amazing humans, and I’m so happy you guys have each other. My rock bottom was also when I was ashamed of who I’d become sitting in cook county jail arrested for a class x felony and going before the judge and seeing my dad sitting in the way back crying. That was it for me. Got sober a month later. Love you guys!!! 💜💙🖤
I just wanted to say I’ve had a relatively sheltered life (compared to you and a lot of people!) and I’ve always had a fairly dismissive and cold attitude towards addiction- you have completely changed how I view this now, you’ve educated me and shown me there are real people behind the “addict”, I’ve started to view the problem in an entirely different way so thank you for opening my eyes to that. Your videos are incredible and I’ve started following and watching and learning from all the people you shout out. Thank you 🙏
ThePiratecookieslove l same! I always thought addiction was solely a choice but it’s not and medical research proves it. The initial use is a choice, the subsequent uses are a mental illness, and then not getting help is a choice. It’s not one or the other or black and white. There’s more to it.
I found this channel approximately 4 days ago. Jess, you are so blessed, and I know you realize this 💕 I'm glad I found this on RUclips. My daughters father is incarcerated for being caught stealing to being a part of a drug ring selling prescription pills w fake prescriptions. His drug of choice was meth. Sadly for him and our daughter, I don't know when he will be home and I pray he stays clean. For the sake of my 6 year old. She's traumatized. I will never understood why he gave up our family to do meth. He is upstate and sounds good but I don't trust him when he is free. He's stolen from myself and all our daughters bank acct savings.
This was so helpful to me. My baby brother has suffered and suffered and pulled himself up from the ashes a few times. The advice is very helpful. It’s hard to know what to do and what not to do.
Thank you for this video! My son is off meth, but he is prone to relapse. As a mom, it is pure hell. He’s a completely different person on drugs. He is a raging monster that steals from me and damages my property and calls me horrible names. In the last 2 years, I’ve been confronted with situations I wasn’t equipped to deal with. Psychosis, jail, hospitals, rage, theft, fired from jobs. I completely lost it a few times, but I never kicked him out. I am in Texas. His father lives in Fort Smith! Meth is a huge issue in Texas. I live in fear that my son will be sucked in again. I helped him get a car so he could rebuild his life. It was a huge mistake because it lead him right back to the dope game. I took the car away! I pray he stays off meth. Through it all, I love him. Sending love 💕 to both of you!
tcshy1903 being a heroin addict for countless years myself.. just know that it’s so much better to just DO for him, rather than GIVE to him. Anything given to an addict is going to be used to our benefit. But you can’t use love & emotional support to get high. Tell him no & let him continue to find his own ways. Trust me there’s ALWAYS something we end up doing that we say wow I can’t believe I’ve gone this low. Ultimately getting clean has to be his idea.. one day he will hopefully have his day of no longer telling himself “tomorrow will be different” & it’ll instead be “today will be different”... on that day he’s gonna need you. You need to be there. Don’t drive yourself crazy before that day comes 💜 there’s hope for everyone, hang in there
Aww I absolutely love you two together!! And the advice you both gave at the end is amazing! Me being an addict myself the thing that helped me the most was having the tough love and support of my mom..and definitely do NOT give your loved one any money no matter how good their story is, because us addicts can come up with some good believable stories...and everyone's rock bottom is different I just wish I could have gotten my fiance/kids father to realize that getting and staying sober was possible but unfortunately he passed away due to an overdose....and sometimes I feel guilty that I made it and he didnt and that I'm getting to live this amazing life with our children and he is here to witness them growing up becoming these amazing people....I love you jes!! -Ashley 😘😘
I love when you have him on your channel! You two have been through so much and I love seeing how far two people can come.....plus you two just vibe really well on camera and it’s so damn cute 😂
Okay this video is the most incredible video I’ve ever seen. Personally this one really hit home. At the end when you guys were giving advice to people with loved ones on meth made me cry, and Jessica got teary eyed I noticed. I recently struggled with my dad, who is on meth. I gave him all of my money. I thought at the time it was so he could pay the bills and get the electricity/gas/water turned back on at our house. He put my mom, who’s sick, my two younger brothers, who are still in school. and me in a tough spot. I was 20 years old trying to take care of all of these people. But I couldn’t understand why or how dad could keep throwing his life away and hurt all of us. It is still really hard for me to accept. I can’t talk to my dad about this stuff because he’s not ready. But hearing someone from former users you guys really taught me we did help. I see my future dad in you guys, hopefully he can become sober. Thank you guys so so much
Jessica, you're such a good interviewer! Good at staying on or getting back on track with the topic of the video, asking great questions, really listening to the answers. Major props to you!
Hey Jessica and Reese. My name is Jonathon from Missouri. I am a loved one of a recovering addict who is currently incarcerated. And i wanted to thank you for what you guys are doing . Youve given me better insight on how to better help my loved one.
Its so amazing to have 2 people talking about the same problems or issues yet each story literally comes from both ends of the spectrum. Love the videos , keep'um comming 🔥🔥🔥
They’re so cute omg 🥰😍 I’m glad she’s happy. As a fellow recovering addict I can say firsthand that sometimes you feel like you’ll never have a normal life. I’m glad she’s found it.
Happier days. We can't bring back the past, but we can bring back parts of it, and some of the parts we can bring back are The best parts. The good news is that some of our best days are yet to come. A positive attitude is the best way to make that happen.
I love when Reece is on for story times! I need to go to AL-Anon. I have been telling myself that for years. It is really interesting to hear what was going through your mind when you made different choices/did different things. Love you both!!
I highly recommend. My fiancé goes while I’m in NA. It has helped his understanding of the mind process we go through and how we operate so much different than “normal” brains. Update on us if you go!
I love how Reece says its not how you are brought up that matters (which was what I was always told!!) I was brought up the same as my brothers, I'm younger than them and they're both recovered addicts and past felons. I love how your channel educates for the good and not the bad.. :)
U 2 are putting across a very important and helpful thing talking about this stuff, #formerjunkstar the reformed addiction community are coming together, Thankyou
I feel like you guys are amazing parents. I’m taking a mass incarceration class and I have actually used your stories to show other people how hard jail and addiction can be. Thank you for sharing your stories!
Jessica I love how raw and how much emotion you show just at the thought of hurting those around u. Also ur pregnancy video was heartfelt. Just wanna say, you’re doing great things and I think your soul is just so absolutely beautiful! Congrats on making it out. You’re a wonderful person!
Your guys advice is more helpful than you could every imagine! “Talk with them not at them” I love that, that’s such good advice that I’d never think of. Thank you🖤🖤
I appreciate what you said about No Demographic is withheld from the possibility of addiction.... I was a Successful Model and GoGo Dancer here in Los Angeles - and was a Heroin Addict of 7 years - just getting clean last year. I just stopped my career last well as well and got into Rehab and whatnot .... No one at rehab could believe my stories and I EQUALLY was ataken back by some of the People I ran into at Rehab as well. Many Many MANYYYYYY “Successful” “Beautiful” People are battling this. Ty for being REAL. I love You.
I started watching your videos yesterday. The first video I watched, I actually just ended up really loving how well spoken you are and how (I guess brave you are) since I know a lot of people wouldn't be comfortable sharing their life in prison. I enjoy your stories and I learn a lot from your videos.
Thank you thank you so much Jessica !!! You have no idea how much your videos have helped me! I was in such a dark place this time last year. I started watching your videos recently and I found it so amazing to see where you are now.. It’s taken me a long time to get out of that place but you have inspired me to start up a RUclips channel myself and discuss my journey with mental health to help others who are going through what I’ve gone through.. you’re openness and transparency is so refreshing and admirable!!!
I love the advice you’re giving.. it’s truly hard .. I’m 3 1/2 years clean and I’m still working on myself everyday. You’re both truly inspiring and I love the way y’all love and support each other through the madness. Sending you love and positive vibes 🖤💜🖤💜
I see so many people every day that made ONE bad decision ONE time and they end up in this horrible dark place and think that that's how their lives have to be. Addiction is really one call away when you think about it. It definitely DOES NOT discriminate. The amazing, great news is, neither does God. He's always one call away, too. In Jesus' name I lift up all struggling with addiction and all those around them, Lord. He makes everything new and restores everything as if no time has been lost. You are both absolutely amazing, authentic, loving people and I'm so happy that you found each other and are now "using your powers for good." Keep up the great work and may God bless and keep you all always. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
Jess, you should be so proud! You turned your life around and you are now the most amazing mother, supportive partner, and influential RUclipsr. Keep inspiring and educating people every day and never forget to take a second to be proud of yourself! PS I've been a subscriber since 16k!
reece is incredibly articulate when explaining his experiences. as someone that has only ever smoked weed (no detentions in school and definitely never even spoken to a cop) he made me feel like I knew exactly what he was saying and understanding it
My hubby used to body build - gurllll I feel you 😂😂 love the two of you, just found your Channel recently and has since become my favourite, most genuine couple on RUclips! Real, raw, no bullshitting stories. Plz don’t ever change that, coz your gonna blow up can see it coming a mile away! Your life and what you have been through and what you stand for is incredibly inspiring, such an amazing woman! I wish my brother and mum had the strength you guys did to get through it all. My mum passed from her addiction and my brother is 10 years in and says he will never stop we have tried everything possible and nothing ever works, he just doesn’t care nor does he want to stop, 😢 P.s.... lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺
Wow, just wow! You two are so articulate and fit the description of ideal next door neighbors....and then you speak of your dark experiences. Terrifying. Thanks for sharing.
I have someone who struggles. He goes for months without contacting me and I don’t think he knows how long it is. It’s so painful, but I know he can get clean.
Talking about m3th addicts “scurrying” around is so spot on. My ex roommate was an addict and it took me a while to find out (somehow) but now looking back it’s like the perfect description lol
Omg reece at the end...AMAZING...y'all getting me emotional before 11 a.m relapse was a part of it for me too. I needed to mess up again. It taught me a lot. Now 4 years 4 months later, I can say that. Im proud of you both!!
Just been watching you last few days.. . I was an addict and been on methadone for few years now. I was homeless for a year and never wanna go back to that. I love how you guys speak the reality of these things bc addicts on the street will never tell these stories and act as if they are fine and can handle it when in reality they cant.
I can’t stop watching your videos I have my notifications on for other RUclipsrs but I catch myself ignoring those videos and I keep coming to yours!... they are so raw and so real and I love it thank you for sharing your stories although they are so interesting to me, you have lived thru these stories and I’m in awe of how you’ve turned your life around... thank you for being so open.. God Bless!
you two are so wonderful. thank you for everything you do. everything you've done with larry. jess, you are a blessing to us. you and the other honest youtubers who came from our world telling all their stories, it's been theraputic and healing for me. i'm sure it has been for others.
I’m doing a unconventional way of helping addicts. I use my spirit box that connects one on one with love one that pass so they can hear their voice again and/or receive messages and conversations that trigger a awakening in them. Once ppl realize that death really is a myth it changes people to the core. It’s one thing to believe and it’s another to have a life change experience and knowing. They walk away in tears and in unbelief and come back in treatment and clean. I know of 7 people that I helped connect to spirit that have 6 mo or more clean. For me that’s 6 lives that has a chance for a wonderful successful life.
Yayyyy I love it when Reece is with you! 🥳
Hi auntie Christina
You and Jeremy should collab with jess and reece. You dont even have to do it in person.

They definitely should
@B B Right? Same experience here. It's all just 'drugs are bad don't do them' but they never really explain why and better yet show the consequences of drug use. Instead of 'don't do it' they should educate on 'here's what happens if you use drugs' High School kids especially are definitely intelligent enough to be exposed to a frank and honest conversation about using and life altering consequences that can happen, like in Jessica's videos.
As a teacher, YES PLEASE! We need that realness. Keep being awesome 👏🏼
I agree kids need to here the raw truth. I gave a talk to a group of teenagers about being a teen mum and it was great they all had so many questions and I feel like hearing it from someone other than a parent or teacher was good for them.
Rachel Mazza I agree! She’s so beautiful, well-spoken, articulate - she gives people like me a better image! But like she said in the beginning...addiction doesn’t discriminate
Reece is a natural. He probably doesn’t even realize how inspiring he is. He speaks about this stuff with the perfect balance of realism and authenticity, without sounding preachy, that would make for great public speaking. Jess too! You guys should speak in schools and rehab facilities. Tell the people what’s up but from some real homies, not mom & dad types that are just talking down. 🖤💪🏼
I was also a homeless meth addict at one point..... 7 yrs clean now
Cristina Richart 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 well done huni ❤️❤️❤️
Same! And also same 7 years this year!!
That's amazing
Me too. While i lived in denver. But not 7 yrs clean. Since 2016
Yaaaaaas girl!
I love Reece, he’s so humble and self-aware. It’s refreshing to see.
I love him 😍 even the farting !
She is in love with him 🥰
You can tell by the way she looks at him 😍
It’s lovely to see 😘
My younger brother Steven age 27, od’d on April 10th 2019, methadone, alcohol and pneumonia combo stopped his breathing. He was on life support for 19 hours. His heart stopped forever 20 minutes after life support was turned off. I miss him so much.
@@kathywithak7529 I love it
@@kathywithak7529 so sorry for your loss
@@kathywithak7529 I'm so sorry for your loss honey! That's awful! My boyfriend has ODed 3 times and was on life support all 3 times but the first time was the worst cuz he had 5 strokes and brain damage. He recovered but now has a benign brain tumor from the damage done to his brain (from the lack of oxygen when he ODed) and has some behavioral issues and still struggles with addiction. He has almost 2 months clean right now and is working full time. I'm so proud of how far he's come. I have 6 years clean off heroin and 8 years clean from cocaine but still struggle with being on suboxone.
Holly Wood Wow!!! That’s excellent. You two are amazing. Hugs from Canada 🤗
I freaking love how blunt and to the point Reece is! He just SAYS IT!
My dad was addicted to crack and he took his life February out of fear he would relapse . I love your videos so much they help me cope

Thats wild. Thats gotta be hard on you! Im sorry

Sorry for your lost
So glad that you mentioned what you did about your family being patient and loving helping you. I've been such a financial burden on my grandmother. I just want to be sober so I can make it up to her in the last years of her life. I did not want her to die worried about me and my family.
I am a dental hygienist and I am always proud of recovered/ addicts that are brave enough to come in because I can’t imagine how scary that can be. Its such an intense drug.
The ending is very sad to watch, knowing about his recent relapse.
Good luck to you both.
What happened?
It would be so cool to see a series of recovered subscriber interviews! That would be encouraging for viewers that are struggling or even family member's of addicts who are watching to see someone recovered. I've been sober 6 years in December, have a crazy story, and would love to tell my story if you ever decided to do a series like that!
I'm almost 4 years clean. I would love to do this! Jess can we make this happen?
Brittany Gottschalk I’m down if she is!
@@amanda-mannigoss907 Congratulations! I would love to hear other people's stories, and tell my own - I've never really done that before! It's still inspiring to me to hear other people's stories even after all these years!
@@JessicaGail I would love to hear other's stories too!
@@JessicaGail Me too!
This particular d.o.c doesn't get talked about enough. Finding your channel today is truly a Godsend 😭🙏😞
I love when you two do videos together. You two really play well off each other. I can so relate to the "feeling better than until you aren't any longer". I always thought I was better than the next addict because I had a college degree, a great good paying job, my child, a nice place to live, and I wasn't like those other addicts until I just wasn't. I lost almost anything. I lost my great job and the respect I had in my field, my home, and my child. The only thing I didn't lost was my license in my field and I couldn't be more grateful for that because it allowed me to build my life again from the ground up. I went to living in a beautiful home to living in a "program" that was housed in a wet shelter being sexually harrassed by staff trying to hand on tight to the few days clean I had. I lost my brother while I was living in that shelter and it rocked my world and I haven't used since. Today I have my career back, my child and a now almost 2 yr old who has never experianced his Mom high, a beautiful home and most of all respect for myself. I am 4 months shy of 8 years clean. If you're struggling but you are breathing today you still have the oppurtunity to get clean, and recovery can be so beautiful and so worth every obstacle you have to get through. If you need help ask someone, it will be the best thing you could do for yourself.
My dad did not get out of his addiction. He passed 2 years ago to alcoholism and you guys have helped me so much recently, understanding the point of view of an addict. Thank you and you guys are such a great couple💖
im on day 7 without cocaine, having used it in all forms (crack, powder, IV) for the last 13 years more or less nonstop since i was 16. im 28 and have my whole life ahead of me. been through heroin before but quit that 8 years ago. i got this fam
Yes you do got this! How are you doing now?
How's it going? I hope you're doing well!
Reece needs his own channel. He is great Jessica.
He barely has time to film with me ...and theres absolutely no way he could edit...so i would have to and im barely hanging on with both of our channels as it is lol But ty!! 🖤🖤🖤
Can you elaborate on the differences between heroin and meth culture?
“Did they help you look for it?” AHHH 😂 I had one of those “friends” with sticky fingers but always ready to help you look for whatever you... lost 👀
Kayla Lorentz saaaaaame lol
Same! 😂
Kayla Lorentz me too!!! She stole a white gold charm bracelet that meant the world to me someone got it for me and it was our favorite things in little white gold charms! It was very expensive, but I didn’t even care about that! It was our story and I wouldn’t of cared if it was plastic, it meant the world to me!!!! I remember taking it off before bed, putting it in a pocket of my tote bag we had all stayed the night together, a couples night kinda thing.... and I KNOW she saw me put it up.... next morning Igo to look for it and it’s GONE -- she helped me look for it for days! Fast forward to when her and her man got an apartment-- they left me there one day bc I didn’t want to ride to town with them to grocery shop... I went the bathroom to take a shower - found the pawn ticket from a month prior-- she got $200 out of a $1,000 bracelet 😭
Like I said I do not care about money, that was the most expensive piece of jewelry I had ever received and it was so special bc of the details..... I cried for weeks.
Ps- I asked he abit the pawn ticket it was hers she had from graduation from her grandma-- wtf!?!?!?!? I graduated with her hung out with her every day all day never once saw a charm bracelet 🤦♀️
Even when they the only one that been there 😭😂😢🙄🤷♀️
Sh#t! I probably had 15 of those dirt bags around me in my addιction. Also been accused of stealing someone else's dope so many times when I didn't. Unreal.
My God I'm so damn glad I got away from that lifestyle!! I've been sober over 5 years and it's been the best 5 years of my life!! 🖤🖤🖤
Ashley Motto well done Ashley! You’re amazing 👏
Congratulations on 5years I wish u many more!🥰
Good for you, sista!!! Keep it up! For reals. I love hearing that stuff. Hopefully I can do it myself this year.
I’m a high school freshman in an early college program, this is really helpful because I want to be a substance abuse counselor when I’m older, thank you. 🥰
I’m so glad I found your channel, I grew up literally surrounded by addiction and it’s so nice to hear someone talk about all these things in such a real yet not condescending way, it’s appreciated :,)
in my town we have a gym called Addicts to Athletes and the point is to “Erase & Replace” :) it has saved a lot of people, but most importantly keeps them on the right track. i love your videos Jess ❤️ i may just be an outsider looking in but I love educating myself and others on the realities of addiction.
Ivana Marie I saw that somewhere. Wish we had that here
That sounds like a lot of fun! Sports are great for support systems.
Working out was/is crucial to me feeling ok and staying on track
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thats awesome!
POWERFUL, POWERFUL video. Thank You both. I lost my oldest brother to meth in April 2014. Our Mom found him in his bedroom; finally "at peace." Many years he fought it and our Mom would just show him Love and patience. He just never found his way back.
R.I.P. Big Brother. ...message ends.
My cousin is a recovering addict and dealer. I have asked him to watch the two of you. He’s done 2 stints in prison, but happy to say he is 4 years clean & doing well!!
As always, thank you for sharing your story!!
PS, my husband isn’t a body builder, but he can clear a room with his dang farts!! Our grandkids thinks it’s funny and gross all at the same time!!🤢😂🤣
i love watching you guys, it really helps me understand the mind of an addict. My brother is still digging to his bottom, he is nearly 40. I hope he gets there soon so we can all help him back up to the top, sober. Thank you for sharing your story
I was lucky I never got into meth..I've tried it but it was never my thing.. my demons were always opioids and alcohol. I love your videos and have been motivated to make my own soon. Addiction is so crazy. I wish you and Reece the best!
Mandy this is completely unrelated but you’re so pretty !
@@ilisten2thecureandcry aww thank you! That's sweet :)
Are you still fighting your addictions?
@@unbothered8740 no..trying my best to stay sober. Every day is a challenge
It's amazing to see the genuine happiness Jessica feels when anyone mentions someone getting their life together. You would make such an incredible counselor for kids, adults, addicts, and honestly anyone else
Reese: " I hope people that work with me sees this video" 🤣😭😂
Mindy B True!
Farts’n’meth
Lol I wonder if they did
I'm a minute in and I already love reece lmao
Hes awesome
I loved how Jessica looked at the camera and did a cute little smile when Reese says you know I have stamina and everything I do haha
😂😂😂

Thank you both so much for sharing your story. Not only does your videos help addicts through their rough time in life but you are helping the ones who are trying to be there for them as well. You two are great!! Thank you again.
Hi Jessica, you are so strong and I just want to let you know that both of you are helping me stay sober. You remind me that life is better when sober, and that I will be able to overcome addiction. Thank you.
This is 1000% accurate! The differences between meth culture and heroin culture is like comparing apples to a refrigerator. It's soooooo different! Comparing my old "meth friends" and my old "heroin friends" is like comparing night and day. I was addicted to H for 10 years on and off and meth for about 8 months and those 8 months on meth were very eye opening. I don't even know how to describe that time other than it just really messed me up mentally, more so than those 10 years on H did. I've seen a girl I thought was my friend strip off her clothes and run around the outside of her house because she thought there were undos outside and then she searched my car and her house...I've slept with a crow bar before...just insane stuff. I would love to see a comparison of the two from you guys!
@B B I remember one of the girls I was hanging out with saying something about how heroin addicts were junkies and dirty and it was the heroin addicts that would snitch if they got busted, or something like that, but I found it to be the exact opposite. That entire group of people would just constantly snitch on each other to try and get themselves out of trouble. They would steal something from you one day and try to sell it back to you the next. Don't get me wrong, when my bf and I were deep in active addiction we did some pretty shady things to get H, but it was child's play compared to some of the things I've seen people do on meth, myself included. H slows you down and you just want to sit back and chill while you nod off. Meth makes you crazy.
Thanks so much. I love you guys. I watch every single video.
I used to pick up my friend sometimes just so he could have some quality sleep because he slept on someone’s couch for about two years. I’d cook him a good meal. We’d talk... never judged him. I was always afraid it was going to be the last time I was going to see him alive. It’s very sad. He is still struggling but in recovery. He wanted to. My other friend though did not make it and passed away. I personally don’t have a history of addiction. A lot of people don’t understand and judge. I think me being so empathetic really helps to understand and not judge people. No matter who they are.
You two are beautiful people. Good job you guys. Much love
Diane B Just loving an addict is so powerful!! I don't mean enabling but just them (knowing) in their heart that they have a reason to try and someone cares is always powerful, even though we have to do it for ourselves.
Spotted Elephant that’s totally true. And I know they both really appreciated it. They did. I got a lot of love from both of them and that was not the reason I did these things for them. I was careful too. Always hiding anything valuable in my house etc. But they never did me any harm. I wanted to support them. Have them talk to me whenever they needed someone that would listen or take care of them. They both lost many people because of addiction. Barely anyone wanted to put up with their crap anymore. And that is understandable too. But I couldn’t just leave them just out of love and compassion. I always hoped they would recover one day and just want to change things around. One of them is doing well and the other one did not make it. It’s just worth trying to support someone in some sort of way. It can really help.
Jess and Reese as being apart of a couple who are both recovering wonderfully. You two are such an inspiration! 💗 love the tweaker story times 😂🥰😭💙 so accurate my husband does not look like a heroin addict at all but addiction doesn’t discriminate. I would love for him to be able to tell his story of his dance with heroin he was a star athlete turned homeless heroin addict at 19
Love this. His sense of humor is everything. I know all about that life. I am so glad all three of us live right now.
I'm so vanilla, half the time I'm having a real hard time following what they are saying, with all the lingo lol But I appreciate the authenticity, so keep doing what you're doing :)
My sister and I are 21 months apart (22 & 23) and we are seriously obsessed with jessica LOL. First of all she’s stunning and second so real. I am impressed with her continuously!! Love you Jessica. And Reese. Reese is seriously the cutest! You should do a podcast!!!
When Jess said “ did they help you look for it” man I felt that! It’s so funny I live in Texas and man it’s like that every where
You and Reece rock together. This is sooooo important what you guys are doing. When I got in to recovery, I didn't know anyone that was clean and sober. There weren't computers back then, no facebook, no you tube.
I am proud of both of you. Being clean isn't easy, but, it's better.
Hey Jess! i know this is an older video of yours but I came across it this morning. i just celebrated my 6 months in recovery and can relate so very much. Thank you & Reece for your story, honesty, experience, strength and hope. love ya'll.
I’ve been watching you ever since you had like 30k subs. Your channel is growing so fast and you deserve every second of it!
Anyone going through it, and have extreme uncomfortable anxiety..please know it will be worth it and it gets better!! Go to a meeting 💗✨✨✨
I love how Reece emphasizes how being loved and supported by his family helped him. So many people think that the only way to help someone is to treat them like garbage and that’ll magically make them a-okay.
Problem is there’s a fine line between love and enabling much of the time and many people don’t/can’t draw a line with someone they love.
Another great one!! 💕. As a fellow recovering addict, very proud of the BOTH of you!👏👏👏
Thank you guys for yet another amazing video. I love when Reece is on the channel Jes. Thank you Reece for coming on and talking about this. Y’all are both such amazing humans, and I’m so happy you guys have each other. My rock bottom was also when I was ashamed of who I’d become sitting in cook county jail arrested for a class x felony and going before the judge and seeing my dad sitting in the way back crying. That was it for me. Got sober a month later. Love you guys!!! 💜💙🖤
I just wanted to say I’ve had a relatively sheltered life (compared to you and a lot of people!) and I’ve always had a fairly dismissive and cold attitude towards addiction- you have completely changed how I view this now, you’ve educated me and shown me there are real people behind the “addict”, I’ve started to view the problem in an entirely different way so thank you for opening my eyes to that. Your videos are incredible and I’ve started following and watching and learning from all the people you shout out. Thank you 🙏
ThePiratecookieslove l same! I always thought addiction was solely a choice but it’s not and medical research proves it. The initial use is a choice, the subsequent uses are a mental illness, and then not getting help is a choice. It’s not one or the other or black and white. There’s more to it.
I found this channel approximately 4 days ago. Jess, you are so blessed, and I know you realize this 💕 I'm glad I found this on RUclips. My daughters father is incarcerated for being caught stealing to being a part of a drug ring selling prescription pills w fake prescriptions. His drug of choice was meth. Sadly for him and our daughter, I don't know when he will be home and I pray he stays clean. For the sake of my 6 year old. She's traumatized. I will never understood why he gave up our family to do meth. He is upstate and sounds good but I don't trust him when he is free. He's stolen from myself and all our daughters bank acct savings.
This was so helpful to me. My baby brother has suffered and suffered and pulled himself up from the ashes a few times. The advice is very helpful. It’s hard to know what to do and what not to do.
The genuine worry in Jess´s voice when she asked Reece if he felt pressured was so cute and so important.
You’ve seen someone jump out a second floor window???? New storytime!
Yup! Lol
short storytime! i used to do this to sneak out of my parents house as a teenager. i somehow never hurt myself. the end :~)
@@JessicaKent more storytimesss 😁❤👍
We lived in a second story apartment growing up and I jumped out when I was like 14, just to see if I could 😂 I was successful.
Yessssss
You amaze me. Thank you for keeping your viewers safe by advising that they click off if the content triggers them.
I love your videos.
I like Reece, he's honest and humble.
Stay safe, stay sober. ❣️
Thank you for this video!
My son is off meth, but he is prone to relapse. As a mom, it is pure hell. He’s a completely different person on drugs. He is a raging monster that steals from me and damages my property and calls me horrible names. In the last 2 years, I’ve been confronted with situations I wasn’t equipped to deal with. Psychosis, jail, hospitals, rage, theft, fired from jobs. I completely lost it a few times, but I never kicked him out.
I am in Texas. His father lives in Fort Smith! Meth is a huge issue in Texas. I live in fear that my son will be sucked in again. I helped him get a car so he could rebuild his life. It was a huge mistake because it lead him right back to the dope game. I took the car away! I pray he stays off meth. Through it all, I love him.
Sending love 💕 to both of you!
tcshy1903 being a heroin addict for countless years myself.. just know that it’s so much better to just DO for him, rather than GIVE to him. Anything given to an addict is going to be used to our benefit. But you can’t use love & emotional support to get high. Tell him no & let him continue to find his own ways. Trust me there’s ALWAYS something we end up doing that we say wow I can’t believe I’ve gone this low. Ultimately getting clean has to be his idea.. one day he will hopefully have his day of no longer telling himself “tomorrow will be different” & it’ll instead be “today will be different”... on that day he’s gonna need you. You need to be there. Don’t drive yourself crazy before that day comes 💜 there’s hope for everyone, hang in there
Aww I absolutely love you two together!! And the advice you both gave at the end is amazing! Me being an addict myself the thing that helped me the most was having the tough love and support of my mom..and definitely do NOT give your loved one any money no matter how good their story is, because us addicts can come up with some good believable stories...and everyone's rock bottom is different I just wish I could have gotten my fiance/kids father to realize that getting and staying sober was possible but unfortunately he passed away due to an overdose....and sometimes I feel guilty that I made it and he didnt and that I'm getting to live this amazing life with our children and he is here to witness them growing up becoming these amazing people....I love you jes!! -Ashley 😘😘
I love when you have him on your channel! You two have been through so much and I love seeing how far two people can come.....plus you two just vibe really well on camera and it’s so damn cute 😂
Okay this video is the most incredible video I’ve ever seen. Personally this one really hit home. At the end when you guys were giving advice to people with loved ones on meth made me cry, and Jessica got teary eyed I noticed. I recently struggled with my dad, who is on meth. I gave him all of my money. I thought at the time it was so he could pay the bills and get the electricity/gas/water turned back on at our house. He put my mom, who’s sick, my two younger brothers, who are still in school. and me in a tough spot. I was 20 years old trying to take care of all of these people. But I couldn’t understand why or how dad could keep throwing his life away and hurt all of us. It is still really hard for me to accept. I can’t talk to my dad about this stuff because he’s not ready. But hearing someone from former users you guys really taught me we did help. I see my future dad in you guys, hopefully he can become sober. Thank you guys so so much
Jessica, you're such a good interviewer! Good at staying on or getting back on track with the topic of the video, asking great questions, really listening to the answers. Major props to you!
Hey Jessica and Reese. My name is Jonathon from Missouri. I am a loved one of a recovering addict who is currently incarcerated. And i wanted to thank you for what you guys are doing . Youve given me better insight on how to better help my loved one.
You two match perfectly. His voice gives this 54 year old chills lol. Jessica you are so pretty.
Its so amazing to have 2 people talking about the same problems or issues yet each story literally comes from both ends of the spectrum. Love the videos , keep'um comming 🔥🔥🔥
They’re so cute omg 🥰😍 I’m glad she’s happy. As a fellow recovering addict I can say firsthand that sometimes you feel like you’ll never have a normal life. I’m glad she’s found it.
Happier days. We can't bring back the past, but we can bring back parts of it, and some of the parts we can bring back are The best parts. The good news is that some of our best days are yet to come. A positive attitude is the best way to make that happen.
I love when Reece is on for story times! I need to go to AL-Anon. I have been telling myself that for years. It is really interesting to hear what was going through your mind when you made different choices/did different things. Love you both!!
Marybelle I’ve heard wonderful things of Al-Anon 💜
I highly recommend. My fiancé goes while I’m in NA. It has helped his understanding of the mind process we go through and how we operate so much different than “normal” brains. Update on us if you go!
@@TheOnlyCoachOfficial I found a few meetings in my area! I just need to figure out which one works best! Thank you for your encouragement to go!
I love how Reece says its not how you are brought up that matters (which was what I was always told!!) I was brought up the same as my brothers, I'm younger than them and they're both recovered addicts and past felons. I love how your channel educates for the good and not the bad.. :)
Can I just say I love how smitten you are every time your hubby is on video with you? So sweet 😍
I LOVE that you both are so brave and open up about addiction!
U 2 are putting across a very important and helpful thing talking about this stuff, #formerjunkstar the reformed addiction community are coming together, Thankyou
I feel like you guys are amazing parents. I’m taking a mass incarceration class and I have actually used your stories to show other people how hard jail and addiction can be. Thank you for sharing your stories!
Jessica I love how raw and how much emotion you show just at the thought of hurting those around u. Also ur pregnancy video was heartfelt.
Just wanna say, you’re doing great things and I think your soul is just so absolutely beautiful! Congrats on making it out. You’re a wonderful person!
“I hope people I work with see this video” - Reese has such a good sense of humor. Love you two beautiful souls💜
Your guys advice is more helpful than you could every imagine! “Talk with them not at them” I love that, that’s such good advice that I’d never think of. Thank you🖤🖤
I appreciate what you said about No Demographic is withheld from the possibility of addiction.... I was a Successful Model and GoGo Dancer here in Los Angeles - and was a Heroin Addict of 7 years - just getting clean last year. I just stopped my career last well as well and got into Rehab and whatnot .... No one at rehab could believe my stories and I EQUALLY was ataken back by some of the People I ran into at Rehab as well. Many Many MANYYYYYY “Successful” “Beautiful” People are battling this. Ty for being REAL. I love You.
I love you so much Jess 😭💕 you give me hope
I started watching your videos yesterday. The first video I watched, I actually just ended up really loving how well spoken you are and how (I guess brave you are) since I know a lot of people wouldn't be comfortable sharing their life in prison. I enjoy your stories and I learn a lot from your videos.
I see two incredibly strong, well spoken, self aware humans. I will never not be infatuated with hearing either of you tell your stories.
Thank you thank you so much Jessica !!! You have no idea how much your videos have helped me! I was in such a dark place this time last year. I started watching your videos recently and I found it so amazing to see where you are now.. It’s taken me a long time to get out of that place but you have inspired me to start up a RUclips channel myself and discuss my journey with mental health to help others who are going through what I’ve gone through.. you’re openness and transparency is so refreshing and admirable!!!
well done gal!
Thank you x
I love the advice you’re giving.. it’s truly hard .. I’m 3 1/2 years clean and I’m still working on myself everyday. You’re both truly inspiring and I love the way y’all love and support each other through the madness. Sending you love and positive vibes 🖤💜🖤💜
Thank You. Just thank you for the public service you are providing with these videos.
OHHHH LORD the end of this video has me crying!!!! Very well spoken ❤️
I see so many people every day that made ONE bad decision ONE time and they end up in this horrible dark place and think that that's how their lives have to be. Addiction is really one call away when you think about it. It definitely DOES NOT discriminate. The amazing, great news is, neither does God. He's always one call away, too. In Jesus' name I lift up all struggling with addiction and all those around them, Lord. He makes everything new and restores everything as if no time has been lost. You are both absolutely amazing, authentic, loving people and I'm so happy that you found each other and are now "using your powers for good." Keep up the great work and may God bless and keep you all always. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
I love when he says scurrying around 😂😂 that's exactly what you do. Yall are both awesome! Love you Jess!
Jess, you should be so proud! You turned your life around and you are now the most amazing mother, supportive partner, and influential RUclipsr. Keep inspiring and educating people every day and never forget to take a second to be proud of yourself! PS I've been a subscriber since 16k!
reece is incredibly articulate when explaining his experiences. as someone that has only ever smoked weed (no detentions in school and definitely never even spoken to a cop) he made me feel like I knew exactly what he was saying and understanding it
i love how well-spoken both of you are. it really helps keep viewers wanting to watch and listen.
My hubby used to body build - gurllll I feel you 😂😂 love the two of you, just found your Channel recently and has since become my favourite, most genuine couple on RUclips! Real, raw, no bullshitting stories. Plz don’t ever change that, coz your gonna blow up can see it coming a mile away! Your life and what you have been through and what you stand for is incredibly inspiring, such an amazing woman! I wish my brother and mum had the strength you guys did to get through it all. My mum passed from her addiction and my brother is 10 years in and says he will never stop we have tried everything possible and nothing ever works, he just doesn’t care nor does he want to stop, 😢 P.s.... lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺
Wow, just wow! You two are so articulate and fit the description of ideal next door neighbors....and then you speak of your dark experiences. Terrifying. Thanks for sharing.
I have someone who struggles. He goes for months without contacting me and I don’t think he knows how long it is. It’s so painful, but I know he can get clean.
I love the figurative language from Reece lmao “have you ever seen someone bend over backwards and walk in slow motion?”
He is a poet
Talking about m3th addicts “scurrying” around is so spot on.
My ex roommate was an addict and it took me a while to find out (somehow) but now looking back it’s like the perfect description lol
Thanks for sharing this. I just want to let you both know, you guys are a source of motivation / inspiration for me, and I'm sure plenty of others.
Omg reece at the end...AMAZING...y'all getting me emotional before 11 a.m relapse was a part of it for me too. I needed to mess up again. It taught me a lot. Now 4 years 4 months later, I can say that. Im proud of you both!!
Just been watching you last few days.. . I was an addict and been on methadone for few years now. I was homeless for a year and never wanna go back to that. I love how you guys speak the reality of these things bc addicts on the street will never tell these stories and act as if they are fine and can handle it when in reality they cant.
I can’t stop watching your videos I have my notifications on for other RUclipsrs but I catch myself ignoring those videos and I keep coming to yours!... they are so raw and so real and I love it thank you for sharing your stories although they are so interesting to me, you have lived thru these stories and I’m in awe of how you’ve turned your life around... thank you for being so open.. God Bless!
you two are so wonderful. thank you for everything you do. everything you've done with larry. jess, you are a blessing to us. you and the other honest youtubers who came from our world telling all their stories, it's been theraputic and healing for me. i'm sure it has been for others.
I love seeing how comfortable Reece has become in front of the camera compared to some of his first videos with you! You two are such a great duo!
I’m doing a unconventional way of helping addicts. I use my spirit box that connects one on one with love one that pass so they can hear their voice again and/or receive messages and conversations that trigger a awakening in them. Once ppl realize that death really is a myth it changes people to the core. It’s one thing to believe and it’s another to have a life change experience and knowing. They walk away in tears and in unbelief and come back in treatment and clean. I know of 7 people that I helped connect to spirit that have 6 mo or more clean. For me that’s 6 lives that has a chance for a wonderful successful life.
