I Went To Rehab - My Experience

- Rehab has been something I’ve gotten a lot of questions about since I went in January 2019. I totally understand why as it’s something that is kept very hidden and hardly spoken about. As I have no shame, I don’t mind sharing my experience! Also, I had such a good time it feels appropriate to talk about it as I know there’s so many negative stories out there. If you’ve got any questions, let me know in the comments below. If I get enough, I’ll do a follow up Q and A. Thanks so much for watching, have a happy day! Janet x

My friend is currently in rehab and I am so proud of her because she understands she was not ok. And I am so proud of how far you ve come. You are such an inspiration.
Sending all my love to you and your friend! I so hope it goes well for her💓
Sometimes we feel like we need to say something but sometimes we need to stop asking are you okay?? And the answer being no!I'm not okay! I'm not alright! Help me! Then you need to ask how can I help you???instead
One is to many and ten is never enough!!! THats the truth about any addiction. I am a recovering addict myself. I have been clean for 8 years now. I do not drink or any drugs, but at times it gets tough. What i love about you janet is your willingness to speak the truth hoping someone else will hear what your saying and maybe go to rehab or doctor or whatever it takes for their addiction. Your a Boss, Never lose that about yourself, its hard to find these days!!! You are a beautiful human!!!!
I spent 6 months in Ark House Rehab, saved me from my self, found the rooms on leaving, and now have the privilege of working in the very same rehab for the past 9 years, I'm very blessed to have this in my life today, thank you for speaking on this subject, 🙏
So glad you found your way back. I tried so many times to put the bottle down but the day my now wife got pregnant I've not picked it up since, 12 years on. Therapy for my PTSD has helped me along with my kids.
As someone who's lost their mum at a young age, and felt similar things to you... Your mum will never be disappointed with you/ in you. ❤️ I'm so proud you got the help you needed. I'm still working on myself and my problems.
My heart goes out to you Janet. We've all lost lovely people. I lost my high school sweet heart after 37 years of marriage to cancer. Spent the last 4 years recovering from grief. Like you, I finally escaped the 'bubble' of emotionlessness and can 'feel' life again. So glad you found help, friends and life again. I wish people would have been there for me. Thank you so much for continuing to give of yourself to help others. I'm absolutely thrilled to see you happy and healthy. You inspire me. Thank you.
After watching this amazingly honest and eye opening video; I am finally beginning to understand why I never want to stop supporting you. You give me strength. When I think I am having a bad day I just remember all that you have overcome and count my blessings. And I pray you never need rehab ever again. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You make a difference. 🙏
I have so much respect for you. To spend money like that, working with your family, knowing that you were saving it for something else, tells so much about you. To be so dedicated to simply getting better is so admirable. You are honestly inspiring. And the way you speak bout your family, the love you have for them, only defines what a beautiful and kind person you truly are.
This made me cry but in the best way, thank you so much. 😭💓
Thanks, you're helping me by sharing. I went to rehab in 1990 on Long Island. It turned my life around and I, we, addicts need to hear this to keep sober!
Thanks for talking so openly about it! It’s great to hear you tear down some of the stigma of rehab and describe it as a place that can help you change for the better! 💙
My brother is currently in rehab praying he gets help and stays sober this video definitely makes me so happy and gives me so much hope for him thank you so much everyone please pray for him 🙏❤️
Here's the thing; all people are miraculous somehow, you're a person... so, whoever's reading this, I guess you're miraculous :D even if I'll never know what's up for all of y'all, have some hugs!!!
Not everybody. Time will show it to you. There is some terrible people out there.
Janet :) I have been a fan of yours since the X Factor days and have been following since. Thank you for sharing this video and being so real. This is going to touch and encourage a lot of hearts. Bless you! Keep up all the good work. Love and Light.
Glad that you've shared this. It's important for addicts your age to see that they are not alone and that there is a way out. You mentioned it in that you were glad to have people your age there with you. Keep sharing, you save two lives - your own and the person's that is ready to hear what you have to share.
Always great to hear your stories Janet. Makes us all feel more human. I really thing that the world tends to surround us with just what we need. You got us, and, we got you!
You are amazing at taking what is rooted in pain and trauma and transmuting it into joy and victory. What a beacon of light!
It was hard to say goodbye to my lil' sis too when she went into rehab for the first time. She was so scared. So I hugged her and whispered to her: "Do you remember the movie "The Terminator"? She laughed even as I could feel her tears on my shoulder and answered, "Yeah..." and I said: "Because you are gonna Sarah Connor this bitch..." She did too. Just got her 6 month chip.
I adore you so much for posting this Janet! I went to rehab for drug addictions at the start of 2020 and it was amazing for so many of the reasons you described. The closeness that you form with other addicts is like nothing else and you made me laugh so much remembering silly adventures and ways we were treated like children. I'm also really happy that you expressed the severity of benzodiazepine addiction as it's one of the most insidious yet dangerous, as in the withdrawal can actually kill you. And this isn't as widely known as it should be. I'm so proud of you and I know how difficult this is 💚💚💚
You are so so amazing I am so sorry that you have gone through all that you have. I would never imagine that someone who has your voice and is as beautiful as you are would have the issues that you have had. I have been a fan since I first heard your voice. Please continue your fight and never give up. We as fans are here for you. Thank you for being you and keep up the great work.
Janet, thank you for sharing...i have a good friend who went through rehab and has completely turned her life around. They also had counseling which made all the difference. You've given so much to so many thorough your music and videos.
How wonderful life is, that you're in the world... Just discovered you girl. I always wanted to be a singer... BE STRONG.
It must be hard to post and talk about those challenging times but I love how you talk about it in such an inspiring way. You are incredible Janet! 💝
Watching this I cried, I laughed, and I learned more about you and life in general. I struggle with mental health issues that I still don't fully understand but your video helped me see there is a reason to keep fighting. Thank you for sharing what you have been through, hearing this has sincerely helped me WANT to get better. You are incredible, thank you for being you and sharing that with the world.
I have watched a few of your videos on addiction and I honestly can say that you helped to remove that stigma for me. I watched you on X factor and I have always loved your voice. Being able to relate to you has helped me get help. I appreciate you and your bravery.
Your candor is refreshing. Your strength is inspiring. Thank you for being.
your such an inspiration... i was strugling alot with a mixed abuse and your voice in your songs are one of the only things that calm me when im strugling with the urge to fall in to the pit of hell that was my drug nightmare... hope you keep up the great work... listens to your songs multiple times a day... such a golden soul...
I'm so proud of you Janet and like someone mentioned, you are a very good speaker. The way you share things is very admirable, and it is obvious it all comes from a very authentic place. Much love from Finland
Thank you for sharing this.
No, thank you for watching! 💓
So proud on you. My sister and cousin are dealing with drug addiction, it's hard to describe the anxiety when you under all your feelings keep the anxiety and fear from the worst news. Wish you strenght and happiness, thank you for your music and shared experience.
I'm so glad to hear about ur recovery and hope to see u happy and healthy. I deal with anxiety and panic disorder and that is making my mental health go down but I'm coming back up. If u need someone to talk to as a fan since American Idol, I'm always here.
Cheers from America from KC
Thank you for sharing your rehab experience. To check yourself into rehab is really a great example of self love and shows real progress in your healing process. Your singing is what brought me into your circle. Now I find myself following Janet the lovely and wonderful person. I know what it is like to not be able to feel feelings. The good thing is that sooner or later the feelings return. Again, thank you for your courage to be open and honest.
It is so good to hear someone speak about this so openly. I am still at the step where I need to find help and this videos just gives me courage to take that step and realise that help would be good. It is just really easy to avoid my problems and ignore them but ugh, my way of life can't be healthy so I will come back to this video if I need another push to a better life
Speaking from what I'm going through right now I can resonate so much with this, and it's a journey we can all over come, one thing I learned is only ever look back to see how far you've come.... it's a wonderfull thing putting your story forward should and I'm sure will be an inspiration to many including myself.... stay strong and be proud if where you are now 👊
Thanks so much Kenneth 💓 I hope you’re alright x
@@janetdevlin iv never been so determined to beat anything in my life, but with the right support and the inspiration from people like yourself, I'll get out the other side, you really are a great inspiration and role model to others
You are always so real and willing to help others that might have fears. So thank you for everything you have done and continue to do . You are always amazing in ways that you give others such help and I find you are very special and always number one of those people that I just know will succeed because you have faced all your issues head on. You are absolutely fantastic in so many ways. Love you and always be you...
I love your tears showing the real feelings of your words, even more words are able to tell, your honesty is exemplary and equally rare in this business. People should´nt forget about your age as you began making music, making people happy with your voice. You´re adorable because of your voice, but maybe more because of your honesty and your courage! Thank you, you´re better now!
Greetings from Germany
I am an alcoholic about to enter rehab in two days and this video is giving me the strength to make this journey. Our stories are very similar and you just made me realize that relapses happen its the growing from that matters. Ive never been to rehab so I am scared but you are making it easier. Thank you.
I may have said this before but at 69 I believe I've led a relatively sheltered and charmed life. Your insights have given me a bit more of an appreciation for the struggles others sometimes have. Keep up the good fight!
Thanks for posting this Janet. Very moving as usual
I really appreciate your story, you are very brave, Janet. I'm 24 and i've been in recovery for depression and severe suicidal behavior at 19. I learned a lot from that experience and i'm definitely better now. Unfortunately, I lost some people i went in rehab with and that made me realize how lucky i Was to have supportive people around me, because they didn't, sadly.
Thank you again for sharing and keep up the good work! Love from Italy❤️
Hey Janet. I just want to let you know, I am now past 24 hours pot free, and that you being open and honest and in some ways vulnerable to us, your fans, has been a big encouragement to me today, as I struggle to free myself from my own crutch. In my own case, I've been using it to self medicate for my anxiety disorder, until it became a constant, ever present, need to just be a little less here, all day, every day. If we weren't so far away, I would want to give you a hug and a thank you. So let someone you love give you the hug, and let me, say a very heartfelt, Thank You.

Could listen to you for ages, very inspirational your fight and your drive inspires me to keep going no matter what issues you should be proud a remarkable story lots of love xxxx
Wow, I'm speechless to your openness JD, again you are an amazing person.
Good chat. I've been to treatment twice, a long time ago, and it sounds like things are about the same. Twenty-six years in the program now. So far, so good. It does work if you work it. Glad you delved into the history that brought you to where you are. Keep going, and SING!
Whooa! I give you a massive credit for sharing all these thoughts and emotions of this particular 'journey'! This enlightened my view of rehabs and I think it will do the same for most.
I agree to some comment, that if you really, truly want to go in there, you more likely get better results. This video should, as it is now, be shown as an educational lesson for all people, who struggle, or know someone who struggles with addictions, so basically to everyone.
Much love!! 💕
It takes courage and deep self-awareness to know when you need rehab snd then to follow through with it. I am glad to know your experience with rehab was positive and helpful.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope that hearing your experience will give someone the push they may need to actually seek help the way you did. Juxtaposing the picture from 2019 to now in this video you can see so much more light and joy. Granted having full makeup helps, i know a thing or two about that lol, but you can truly see it in your eyes too. Glad you’re doing “better now”. 😉💙🖤💜
Wow Janet, I listened to your whole vlog and I am in awe of you!! You are an inspiration and the most beautiful soul inside and out! Keep smiling and just keep on being YOU! Love and Very Best Wishes for a fantastic future for you! Hugs from Portlaoise 💚
You may not feel it but you're so strong it's great that you can speak about this so publicly. It is hard to talk about, but can help so many.
Thanks so much 🥺
Janet, I am struggling with mental health right now and I feel like I'm in a sense of limbo. Hearing what you had to say gives me strength.
Your strength and determination and thrive in this world encourages me. Thank you. 💜
I have been there myself, and keep on going, it and you are so worth it!!!!
Huggles xxx
Love & hugs to you. I’m sorry your struggling/suffering. Prayers to you ❤️
You've come so far and I'm bloody proud of you for knowing when it was time to call it and invest in your future - wasn't cheap (holy fudge) but damn straight looks like it was worth it 🥺🥺
Definitely worth it! Can’t have a mortgage if your dead haha
@@janetdevlin never thought of it that way before, but it's true. Friends of Bill have a bit of a different perspective, but DEAD ACCURATE!
I remember that admission photo from the "Better Now" chapter in your book. It was great to read about you going from that broken girl, to drum therapy, and joyfully skipping through the hallways. I'm so happy that you recognized, for yourself, that you needed to go away and seek help before you lost control, so that you were able to have a positive experience.
ive just got out of hospital after 2 years. It was kind of a 'rehab'. but I just wanted to say, i also had times where I laughed so hard I couldnt breathe, I cried and I couldnt stop giggling after. I met the most amazing people there, lifelong friends. I also empathise with insomnia and eating. I gained alot of weight in hospital (also have an ED) and I'm the biggest I have ever been. I also get the pettiness, I was such a twat sometimes. You are really an inspiration to alot of people and I love watching you, you have an awesome sense of humour.
Thank you for sharing, thank you for being a real person. You are my favorite artist. I wish you well in 2021. Stay healthy, and safe from the chaos of life.
Deciding to go to rehab was probably the best decision I've ever made. I would be dead or in prison had I not. I'm currently 926 days recovering from alcohol! Its truly inspiring to see people I look up to go through the same. It makes me feel like I'm not as alone as I think I am.
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. You are amazing.
i definitely needed to hear this. i felt it. i laughed. i was on the verge of tears. it was wonderful. thank you
Janet, I feel like you would be a great friend. You have these moments when you're just hilarious even when talking about something serious. And then you just have these vulnerable, emotional moments
You’re so intelligent and eloquent! Thanks for sharing this it’s very powerful
Great to hear your experience was so positive and helpful. You sound like a very thoughtful , yet playful person/Soul. I hope your still in this happy place three years after. Life is amazing if we only stop now and then to reflect with amazement how lucky we are to be alive. Positivity is the key and you have it gushing for every gland of your being. Happy Days Janet..💛
Hi, Janet. You are an engaging speaker and using your platform to share your experiences will no doubt help others struggling with their addictions. Keep up the great work :)
We made here until the end because we care! Thank you for this video. It is helping me build up the courage to go and get help!
Have even been some of it through myself, just with morphine. So strong of you to step forward and tell your story, and you will surely touch more people than you ever dream of.
Keep the light in your eyes shinny, allways, and keep strong
Long time fan that remember you from X - F
Beautiful and honest video, thank you for uploading it. Hopefully you're better now. 😊
Ms Janet you have come very far from there, hugs to you and anyone else dealing with addiction.
Thanks so much David! 💓
Bless you darlin. Take care of yourself at all times.
Thank you for being so open about your experience . I was in for an eating dissorder and depression, qnd a suicide attempt. No one talks about the people that impact our lives while we are in there, wether they are annoying as sin or so helpful and friendly, or even the ones you play practical jokes on that make day to day manageable. It took me several weeks and several different stays to realise yes these people were great, and made the experience so much better. I also realised i had to do this for me, not for my family that i put through absolute hell, not for the counselors or doctors and therapy people, but for me. I though at first, do this to make them happy, thats the reason why the first few stays didnt work. It didnt mean anything to me. Until i saw one day a man get his medication infront of his child for a methadone addiction, and the look of his childs little face broke my heart. I let loose this torential amount of tears and anger and hurt and just utter disgust i had with myself for what i did to my own body. Rehab was the best and worst moments in my life. It led to the most rewarding moment in my life, me getting better and having a little girl. 17 years later she has the most firey spirit and wicked sense of humor.
I have a huge amount of respect for your honesty in telling this. You project warmth whilst still telling the honest truth of it all. Every sober day is an achievement, well done
So happy you are sober I found that AA helps I am going to be 6 years sober on November 15 it's not easy to do but it's completely worth it. Thank you so very much for sharing your story I know it's not an easy thing to do but it might help others. 💗 stay strong you got this
Your simply amazing so strong be proud of what you've achieved you have came along way and your an inspiration to the youger generation showing them that's life has it's ups and downs but there's always a better tomorrow ❤🙌
You have a gift to sing, to talk and to have deep thoughts. Keep up being this strong! Many people should look at you as an example of a dedicated fighter. Greetings from Hungary!
This video sums up everything I am growing to love about you. Made me laugh and cry and run through so many emotions. The openness and the honesty... I've not come across anyone who has bared their soul and put their life, their very human frailties and vulnerability.... and both their joy and their pain out there for all to see like you have. Beyond words really. I am just so glad to see you came through so many difficult days. The world cannot lose someone like you Janet .... and watching and listening to you makes me even more determined to be the best person I can. Is anam álainn thú
God bless you Janet!!! I’ll always remember how your performance on X factor made me cry in a good way 💕
I can relate to the not having medical / mental health insurance and having to just deal on your own so much! Every one says oh get therapy like it's easy but it's really not that easy so I've managed to just think "I can't keep doing this I can't cope" and then I always do anyway cause there's no real choice.
So glad to see you sharing these things about your experiences and mental health, you have our support!
Massively insightful and interesting and good on you for sharing this area of life that is frowned upon by many and not understood .
You are a wonderful person, and I am in awe of both your talent and your openness. X
Congrats on your great voice but also being sober through the programme, thank you for being open
You are such a lovely and sweet person and very brave to share your life stories with everyone. I love your stories and music and watch your videos 2 or 3 hours every day. Love to you and your family. Stay safe. From Tulsa, Oklahoma (USA)
I loved this! I will be 30 this year, was an addict since I was in my late teens, started with alcohol ( even though I didn't know it until a couple years ago) then switched to liquor and coke, then added opioids to the mix ,then just did the opioids for 6-7 years. Tried stopping on my own a few times but it never stuck. Then went to rehab/detox and had one of the best times in my life with amazing people and tons of laughs. Which I didn't realize how desperately needed after losing all of my friends and left my ex the day before I went to rehab. Mentally I needed to feel that happiness was still possible. I've been sober for two years going strong and a positive experience about rehab goes a long way for people looking into going. I appreciate how honest and brave and wonderful you are! Never change! Lots of love from millions of miles away over here in Saint John, NB, Canada.
Inspiring experience! I can not imagine what you experienced! Thanks for sharing these special thoughts and important feelings with me.
You are loved all around the world i hope you know that !
Sending Love from Maryland, USA 🇺🇸 ❤
And love right back! 💓🥺
@@janetdevlin you just made my day :). Stay strong and be safe always ❣!
Such an open and honest video yet again.great to see rehab worked and was money well spent.the positive message this gives out will possibly help so many 🙂
You are so incredibly strong and beautiful on the inside and out sharing your life and hardships with all the world. Myself am just done with trauma treatment for my ptsd here. So i know lifes much a rollercoaster with ups and downs. I have the most beautiful son ever in my life that and my fiance helps a lot ❤️
I always find it funny how people say "I am so glad I am clean", "I am so happy I stopped drinking" but never once have I ever heard someone say "I am so glad I started drinking...". Says a lot.
It's wonderful you have such a supportive family. I am so happy for you!
You are an inspiration you are a wonderful young lady and I hope and pray you continue to win your battle.
As an Irishman , here in NYC in Recovery...I so Wellcome your Honesty with your Fans in your Experience in Rehab....When you come thru NYC , lets catch a AA meeting...So Proud of YOU !!!
I have watched pretty much all of your videos and I feel that you should consider a possible "category" of videos that tell your stories of dealing with mental health, addiction, eating disorder etc so that people actually looking for these types of videos will find them without having to search your name. I say this because I feel your videos are so good and so honest and open and show that people are not "special" and "alone" in dealing with these types of things. Maybe a website that deals with addictions and rehab would welcome your videos for use. I just feel that you are an excellent speaker and it's obvious that your feelings are worn on your sleeve. So much love for you. HUGS
Even the word rehab often has such an unnecessary stigma to it so I love seeing you talk about it in such a positive light! I hope you’re doing as best you can and goddddddd I love the new hair 🙌😄
Bless your recovery. Alot of us are still fighting.
Hey Janet you look wonderful! You sound great! Keep up being the better you and you will not lose! Love you music, glad you could share your story with those that may be going thru the same thing!!! Keep living L-I-V-I-N..
So proud of you Janet you are an amazing woman :)
No, is very powerful, learn how to use it. The more you use it, the Stronger you become. The lesson of Life. Love and Faith, Peace and Joy from Tennessee! 🤠
I don't know what it is about you, but when you talk so openly about the trials and tribulations your life have taken you though, I get such a strong urge to just give you a big hug, (not in a creepy way) but just to let you know you are not alone in these feelings and that there are lots of people that truly care about you. So many talented people seem to have ghosts in their closets that are kept hidden from the public until their tragic end, but you have decided to express your deepest feelings, freeing your emotions and keeping you grounded in reality, healing your soul. By doing this you are also helping so many other people that are also dealing with their own inner demons. Thank you for being such a talented, honest, caring person. God bless you and keep you safe.
I really appreciate you sharing your story. Thank you
Thanks for sharing. Love your videos. Best wishes in everything you do ✌❤
Thank you so much for sharing. I lost my very close friend who I met in rehab 6 years ago, last sunday due to euthanasia. I miss her dearly, because like you said... we know each other on a level not even your family knows you. Somehow this video helps me heal because as much as rehab sucks we had loads and loads of fun and I'm glad I get to remember my time with her in and outside of rehab with a smile on my face :) thank you Janet i love u
cracking up with your airport conversation. i just love you
Thank you for sharing.. I watch as I drink a bottle of wine after being 3 weeks sober.. would love to meet you one day I've been following you ever since your appearance on xfactor you inspire me so much and you're so strong so beautiful and just 😍😍😍😍 I could listen to you for hours ! Your Wisdom and sweetness is just heartwarming ❤ so proud if you and the obstacles you have overcome keep on fighting ! Xx
I hope you are doing better now. I love your accent. And you have such a unique voice. To me it is a pleasure to listen to.
