I’m a nurse who worked in opioid treatment for 6 years. A nurse who has struggled with my own issues with drinking. I’ve seen people recover and relapse during that time. People are human and deserve to be given second chances. Addiction is real.
Wow, I’m so glad you are on the other side of your addiction. This reaction is by far the most powerful one I’ve seen and you have gained a new subscriber. Thank you for transparency.
Thank you 🙏 I hope I can help at least one person get out of that. I can’t even say life because that’s no way to live. Thanks again for your amazing comment ❤️ Jen
I’ve been off heroin for 6 years🥰❤️ I’m so sorry you had to go through that, but we made it! We survived, and we need to keep going! Not only for ourselves but for those that care about us💛❤️
I wanted to watch this the day you uploaded it but couldn’t get myself to watch it. My mother passed last year and she was an addict my entire life. She was 42 when she died and I really hope this doesn’t offend you but you look a lot like her and I instantly think of her whenever I see your videos
Not offended in the least. I’m sorry you lost your momma. That pains me to think that someone is out there without a parent. I first want to tell you that nothing you could’ve done could’ve made things turn out differently from what they did. She made the wrong choice to use that day. I am close to her in age actually, I’m thankful everyday that I made that choice to quit. I know it can’t be easy for you, but maybe you were sent to me for a reason.
Jen... My fingers are crossed that your story can help inspire anyone watching it to seek help & overcome their deadly addictions. Even if it’s just ONE person, then your efforts will be worth it. Hopefully... It will help so many more ✌️😌✌️❤️❤️❤️
I've actually never cried while watching reactions of this song, but I can feel your pain through my screen and I teared up with you. I hope you're doing good and in a good place in your life. You're someone who's been through a lot and you deserve nothing but kindness. You're beautiful & your babies have gained an amazing mother with tons of experience and love to give.
Addiction is actually classified as a mental illness, so it has nothing to do with not having dignity, or worth. Getting this information out into the public eye helps to dissipate some of the negative connotations surrounding people with addiction problems.
This song hits home for me because my son is on drugs heavily. He has smoked weed, did acid, and he has done Xanax. I have begged him to stop or at least slow done but he wont listen. I feel like he is dancing with the devil doing all these drugs. Right now he's locked up and he's been sober for about 2 weeks. I feel so helpless because I can't help him.
I hope your son finds the help that he needs. You can only do so much before he pushes you away. He may not want help now, but he has to make the decision for himself. Just pray he isn't too late and I hope he figures out his life and the choices he makes 🙏
Imagine we lost Demi Lovato to OD and never get to hear this song. It would be such a terrible day for everyone. She is like Eminem, both legends survived OD and turn their life around immediately. Clean ever since. Congrats to the both of them.
everytime i see just jen cry i just want to give her a big hug and demi is one amazing girl to bring a song like this out witch is about her life so happy that and demi needs a big hug as well
Jen... When I could sense the emotions getting to you here, I just wanted to reach through my screen & give you the warmest hug I could. Your story “got” to me, but man oh man... This just made me love & respect you so much more 💖✊️😍💖

I searched "demi lovato reaction" as I have done so many times and your video and story came up. I struggled with meth amphetamine addiction and been clean for 6 years. You look beautiful and thank you for sharing your story
my mom loves this song. she was a counselor and counceled addicts. she understood how demi was thinking while taking the drugs! She;s so glad shes california sober
I just want to give you a long embracing hug, but I just want to say thank you for sharing you're story with all of us who are willing to listen, but most importantly need to hear this because you're story is sharing so many lives and giving many a wake up call that needs to happen and I thank all who open up and speak their truth without any shame because many feel so ashamed to speak about so personal, but there is nothing to feel ashamed about what so ever because this truly helps those who have gone through something similar share and open up about their stories and you are all survivors in you're own way
Your reaction just made me cry. My mom overdosed for a third time and died. I still find it hard to think about but hearing about your experiences has kind of made wm feel better, more at peace in a way.
So brave❤️ You should react to Demi’s Docuseries on RUclips. It’s called Demi Lovato: Dancing With The Devil. It talks about her relapse and overdose and the after affects and where she is now as a person!❤️❤️
I can't like this video enough. Thank you for being so honest and so STRONG to relive that moment in your life with everyone. You are amazing. THANK YOU.
I watched a lot of reactions and I enjoyed yours the most. I see real emotions from you. I had the same emotions as you did because I to am a recovering addict. I've been clean for 5 yrs. now. ❤️
I seen your other comment. It’s not often I can say “I need to talk to this person”. Well….I would love to start this recovery ❤️🩹 series. I just have a difficult time FINDING people who have the strength to share. You commenting definitely happened for a reason. I have an Instagram account (just_jen_reacts) if you want to DM me so we can set this up. If you’d be willing to share. 5 years is absolutely astonishing, and believe it or not, people NEED to hear your story!!! I’ll be looking for that message!
I knew there was a reason why I hit that subscribe button for your channel. Jen, you are an amazing individual...Such a strong, brave, and inspiring woman!! As someone who will be coming up on 6 years sober next month, I have been seriously questioning my sobriety. Even told my sponsor that...But hearing your story, as well as others, has really boosted my affirmation on why I got sober in the first place. Time to get off my pity potty.....Much love and respect Jen, and thank you! 🤘✌
Have you seen the 4 part documentary of what happen to her? It's on Demi Lovato RUclips channel, she goes into detail. Worth watching. Thank you for you story Jen, hopefully it helps someone watching.
I will be watching it, I haven’t caught her documentary yet. So many people tearing her apart lately 😔 I see it as bullying, but so many people will disagree. They need to understand that people like her and I (and countless others) have been through the ringer. Sometimes we don’t act like your typical human being would. PTSD in fact makes us react much differently than the persons who do not have it. I for one will not be partaking in the smear campaign that’s been going on because of some ice cream. I stand by her because of what she went through is eerily similar to what I have.
Omg! I'm in tears . The song is good, but your message has genuinely touched my soul. It's a battle that I know all to well. I've been clean for several yrs, however it's still a personal battle, every single day. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤! Your honesty and personal message is exactly what I needed too here . It was the small kick in the Ass, that I needed , to keep marching on my personal path of clean living. You are obviously here for a much ("HIGHER PURPOSE!" ) Imagine the lives you've touched or perhaps , even saved , with your honest, yet caring approach, too the reality of addiction. Thank you! 😊
Great jen. So glad to hear that you won the battle with addiction. Stay strong. I am rooting for you. One of my teachers told me that you should never leave people suffering from addiction alone. When they are alone they tend to do more drugs. When they are with someone/some people who care for them it keeps them busy and away from doing drugs. Keep smiling. I started watching your videos this week itself. I think you have the best smile on youtube that I have seen.
JEN YOU ARE AMAZING!! Telling your story is the hardest thing someone can do. Most people burry it. I know I do. Your strength is inspiring. ALSO tried to watch FIVE other reaction videos to this music video and everyone of them made me mad for not actually LISTENING. (Once again, anyone live at the grammy’s by Demi lovato is a must watch) I straight up said F*ck this I’m going back to watch jen’s reaction. Forrereal anyone by Demi lovato PLEASE I don’t want to hear from anyone else but you!!!💜
I admire your openness and willingness to be transparent in a world (especially online) that can be so heartless. I agree, there's a reason you're still alive. Your reaction was good but you being exactly who you are is why I decided to subscribe. I look forward to watching all your vids! God bless and I wish you continued success in your sobriety, life, and channel. 💚
God will replace what the locusts have eaten. You are extremely blessed to be alive and have your children and family behind you to support your sobriety. Sadly, some recovering addicts still don't get to see their children. Thank you for sharing your story. #wedorecover
I have been watching some of your reactions. I may not know you personally, but I have crazy RESPECT for you. It takes great bravery to speak ones truth. Sending virtual hugs all the way from South Africa 💜
Congratulations on your sobriety!!! Words can't express how impressed I am with your story and your strength ❤ . Thank you so much for having the courage to share your amazing story ❤ The more people that share theifvstories the more we get the word out that is a real issue that needs to be talked about. So thanks so much for sharing your amazing story. Your truly a survivor!! (Sorry for rambling I was just so impressed with your story it seemed I couldn't find the right words.
i really admire your strength jen you’re an amazing human being... grateful you’re still here, your videos bring me so much joy & make me feel less alone so thank you for still being here with us & fighting every day. you’re a warrior & i just know everyone around you is proud of you💜
Thank you for sharing your story, I lost my mother to drugs long before I was born saw her go in and out of jail most of the time and at 9 years old tried to push her to be sober loved her dearly she died 4years ago and left her all five of us in tears. This is her death anniversary what a coincidence I saw your video. Your doing great BTW lots of love wish you the best💖
Jen... When it comes to addiction/s, often the toughest thing to deal with is accepting the fact that you have a problem & the even tougher part... GETTING HELP ✊️😔. I struggled with an alcohol addiction for 11 years before a near fatal accident in mid 2014 basically gave me the “kick in the balls & foot in the ass at the same time” & FINALLY made me take that tough step to give up the booze. I’ve been sober since August of 2014 & am proud to say I beat the addiction WITHOUT professional help. People may think it’s impossible to do it on your own, but it IS possible ☝️😉. I was stunned to hear of your past & let’s just say my respect level for you has soared through the roof for opening up to us the way you did here. Much love, warmest hugs & HUGE respect for you always.... From 🇦🇺Australia🇦🇺💖💖💖
Hi Jen I’ve only came across ur channel. My father was a alcoholic and started drugs just before he passed when I was 10. Tomorrow is your 7th year of sobriety and I know it might to mean much but I just wanted to see I’m so proud of you and that you are here💕 you are strong so keep it up x❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your honesty, kindness, love, connection - that's how we gotta talk about addiction. You opening up was everything. Just everything. Thank you. Demi opened herself for others and you did too. I hope you know your strength is so appreciated and your compassion seen ❤️
Thank You for sharing, you are inspiring, my story is similar in many ways to rehabs, jails and the devil always had a dance saved for me. I am 43 now sober from alcohol and hard drugs over and a half. You inspired me to start a reaction channel, we can help so many through our songs and stories
Awesome!!!! All I can really say is be like Nike and just do it! Make sure you remain true to who you are. Don’t put on a show for anyone. Be yourself. Be consistent. And do not pay attention to the haters. When you have haters, you’re doing something right!!! ❤️ best wishes on your reaction channel journey!!! 💕 Jen
Congratulations to you. You have overcome what seems like insurmountable odds. And to make it 7 years this year sober is amazing you should just be so proud of yourself. This song in this video have hit a lot of people very hard. There's a lot of details to the video but the one thing that stands out to me is when the screen goes blank and it becomes a splash of water she starts singing again and it looks like she's literally screaming and they said on set she was that she started to lip sync and it turned into blood curdling screams and she just screamed and screamed and screamed. And as co-director she felt that it was the way it should look and that it was cathartic for her to get that out.
Instant subscription. Love your honesty, your insight, and your personality. I can tell, regardless of trials and tribulations, you’re a good person at heart. Stay strong and keep at it!
You are so right when you said you NEVER imagined you would ever be shooting heroin, I felt the EXACT same way, by the time you’re that far gone it’s like “how the hell did I get here?! What am I doing?!” And yet no matter how bad you want to be clean by the time you’ve gone PAST rock bottom you just can’t, so eventually you just wish and hope the next one just ends it all, because after everything is said and done you truly believe that you and the world would be better off if you were just gone. For some people all it takes is ONE TIME, ONE MISTAKE but NO ONE WANTS to be an addict, NO ONE.
Hi Jen , well that was confronting to say the least , HUGE Kudos to you for your bravery in being so open and honest about your life. As a recent subscriber I am so impressed by your communication in your videos that I felt compelled to congratulate you for removing the shackles of abuse and addiction in your life and being an inspiration to others. May your future life's journey be filled with love , happiness and respect. Jen , you deserve nothing less. BRAVO JEN , you are amazing!!!
Jen, I am enthralled with you. For you to bare your soul in such a way. It is surreal to me. The life lessons you’ve lived, are as I can see, immense! “God Bless the broken road that led me straight to you”. I will like, and smash the subscribe button! “The things we do in life, will echo an eternity”. You’re here, and now. Thank you
What a beautiful , amazing and strong woman you are! Keep going, you can do it 🖤 On a side note, I think you should react to their docu-series! It's really nice
I just found your channel. And I couldn't relate more to anyone. One year ago on August 1st I reached the height of my drug addiction, and that is the day that I overdosed and according to the paperwork I was actually dead for about 20 minutes the only thing keeping me going apparently was the bag they were pumping air into me with. They used eight narcans on me and that's all they had stocked on their ambulance. I don't talk about my personal life that often unless I know you. August 8th which is coming up I will be one year completely clean. I married into a very toxic family who introduced me to drugs late in life I'll be 34 this month. I take responsibility for continuing to do them I'm not placing blame here. Somebody gave me what I thought were painkillers, and this person apparently didn't like me too much because they weren't painkillers they were actually pressed fentanyl and heroin and I took all three and I don't remember anything after the first 3 minutes. I too did not see any white lights or deceased relatives or anything like that I honestly don't even remember like I said anything after the first 3 minutes it was like completely just blank. People did not call for help right away they tried to wake me up on their own and at that point I was already getting cold and my lips were turning purple I'm telling you all this from you know witness accounts. Thank you for sharing your story because I actually really needed to hear this sometimes you forget that you're not alone. I'm a new subscriber now and I will continue to look for your uploads. Sorry that this was a long comment but hearing your story and I love this song already because it hits home, it allows me to reflect on how far I've come and how much stronger I've become. I'm still in my journey but I'm almost when you're clean and I'm going to continue to be clean.
Hey girl. Whoa. That’s one terrifying story there. Did you make it out of your addiction? I didn’t see where you said you quit. If you have I’m glad you did, if you haven’t, I pray you do soon. And wow for “family” to do that?!! Sheesh, yeah what a dick. Js.
I put out more stories. My addiction series. I did 3 actually so far. It’s crazy. If you have time, watch them all. ❤️ and light sent. You got this btw!!! ❤️ if I got this, so do you!!!! 💕 Jen
Jen....I know u won't see this cz its so long ago...but thank u for ur honesty! U&I seem to have gone down the same scary path!!! Glad we r both still here!!! 😚😚😚
I’m watching you for the very first time and I adore your honesty, having nearly lost my mum to a heroine overdose when I was 11 and again when I was 12 this song hits hard especially with you being so open about your addictions. Sending you lots of love 💕
Maybe a video (if you can) on how to help someone you love to get them to overcome their addiction. My mother is 52 and since I was a baby, even before, she’s been addicted. Still is and I feel the family has tried everything.
Please react to Demi Lovato’s “Anyone” live performance at the 2020 Grammys! She Overdosed 4 days after writing this song. You can really see her raw emotion in her performance!
Well done on 7 years sober & thank you for basically bearing your soul this should be an inspiration that others can beat their addictions or demons like you did. I'm just speechless at your story and so sorry you went through what you did but you and Demi are survivors. I lost my mum to her alcohol addiction and since her death I haven't drank any in 16 years but I dont judge anyone drinking around me & I've more empathy or sympathy for anyone going through that and other addictions ♥️
Omg iv watched alot of people react to this song but non were as raw as yours! So glad you overcame all of your addictions and have become such a succesful woman ❤ xx
Thank you so much for sharing your story! You are an amazing woman and I'm so touched by your words and your strength! More people need to understand that everyone has issues they are dealing with and need help in any way possible!
I can relate to some of their story and some of yours. Congratulations on overcoming addiction. You are so strong and you should be proud of this for owning your recovery and putting your story out there to help people and let them know they're not alone. Thank you this and thank you for choosing to stay alive to share your story and even save the lives of others. 💗 You should ABSOLUTELY react to their docu-series: Dancing With The Devil. It is every bit of their story with the overdose and everything around it like how it affected her family, their best friends, and their team. Absolutely nothing was let out. It is absolutely intense and soul quaking. You must give it a watch!
Thank u for sharing ur story and u have been through it urself, tough times and experiences. It is true if anyone needs help it is ok to ask for help. I love this song and the lyrics. Everyone can relate best songs r from the heart and most ppl have experienced or gone through which is nice to show he message of ppls stories to help encourage others too. We r survivors.🤘💪
"Anyone", "Sober" are two songs where Demi put her raw emotions seeking for help///
She wrote Sober like a month before the OD, according to her documentary
And recorded “Anyone” 4 days before the overdose
Also warrior
Omg Jen 😭 you’re a big warrior just for deal everything in your life! You’re a survivor and thank you for u being here 🖤
a sad fact: the survivor tattoo was where her scar for the dialysis machine was...
thank you for this reaction, you’re so strong, we love you
I believe the dialysis scar was covered by the butterfly on the other side. It’s a pretty big scar so I don’t think the survivor scar would cover it.
@@slideshowgurl yes I think it's butterfly tattoo too, before she got it she covered it with makeup!
I’m a nurse who worked in opioid treatment for 6 years. A nurse who has struggled with my own issues with drinking. I’ve seen people recover and relapse during that time. People are human and deserve to be given second chances. Addiction is real.
Wow, I’m so glad you are on the other side of your addiction. This reaction is by far the most powerful one I’ve seen and you have gained a new subscriber. Thank you for transparency.
Thank you 🙏 I hope I can help at least one person get out of that. I can’t even say life because that’s no way to live. Thanks again for your amazing comment ❤️ Jen
I love how honest you are. You're saving so many lives, just being you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i can’t thank you enough for sharing your story
I’ve been off heroin for 6 years🥰❤️ I’m so sorry you had to go through that, but we made it! We survived, and we need to keep going! Not only for ourselves but for those that care about us💛❤️
I know that I'm a stranger but that's truly amazing to see im very proud of you Rina hope you have an amazing day /night love you
I wanted to watch this the day you uploaded it but couldn’t get myself to watch it.

You got me here crying you’re such a survivor. I’m going through it and I admire you so much
I think that you should react to her youtube docu-serie, at least the 2 first episodes, ill wait for it!!
I’m glad you found your respect, dignity and worth again.
There’s only moving up for you now
Addiction is actually classified as a mental illness, so it has nothing to do with not having dignity, or worth. Getting this information out into the public eye helps to dissipate some of the negative connotations surrounding people with addiction problems.

PLEASE DO MORE DEMI LOVATO!!! She is REAL. The live performance of her singing ANYONE will get you like this did 100%%
love this reaction!
please watch her documentary. She was so so close to being gone... And she is still fighting
Congratulations on your sobriety, I’m proud of you. I’ve lost a lot of loved ones to alcohol and drug use.

The song is good, but your message has genuinely touched my soul. It's a battle that I know all to well. I've been clean for several yrs, however it's still a personal battle, every single day.
Thank you from the bottom of my ❤! Your honesty and personal message is exactly what I needed too here .
It was the small kick in the Ass, that I needed ,
to keep marching on my personal path of clean living.
You are obviously here for a much ("HIGHER PURPOSE!" )
Imagine the lives you've touched or perhaps , even saved , with your honest, yet caring approach, too the reality of addiction.
Thank you! 😊
Great jen. So glad to hear that you won the battle with addiction. Stay strong. I am rooting for you.
One of my teachers told me that you should never leave people suffering from addiction alone. When they are alone they tend to do more drugs. When they are with someone/some people who care for them it keeps them busy and away from doing drugs.

Thank you for this, Jen. It means a lot.

Thank you for sharing your story, I lost my mother to drugs long before I was born saw her go in and out of jail most of the time and at 9 years old tried to push her to be sober loved her dearly she died 4years ago and left her all five of us in tears. This is her death anniversary what a coincidence I saw your video. Your doing great BTW lots of love wish you the best💖
This vid is a life lesson we need to learn
Thanks beatiful lady be strong be proud be safe
Jen... When it comes to addiction/s, often the toughest thing to deal with is accepting the fact that you have a problem & the even tougher part... GETTING HELP ✊️😔. I struggled with an alcohol addiction for 11 years before a near fatal accident in mid 2014 basically gave me the “kick in the balls & foot in the ass at the same time” & FINALLY made me take that tough step to give up the booze. I’ve been sober since August of 2014 & am proud to say I beat the addiction WITHOUT professional help. People may think it’s impossible to do it on your own, but it IS possible ☝️😉. I was stunned to hear of your past & let’s just say my respect level for you has soared through the roof for opening up to us the way you did here. Much love, warmest hugs & HUGE respect for you always.... From 🇦🇺Australia🇦🇺💖💖💖
Loved your reaction. So raw so real. I know this feeling. Thank you ❤
Hi Jen I’ve only came across ur channel. My father was a alcoholic and started drugs just before he passed when I was 10. Tomorrow is your 7th year of sobriety and I know it might to mean much but I just wanted to see I’m so proud of you and that you are here💕 you are strong so keep it up x❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your honesty, kindness, love, connection - that's how we gotta talk about addiction. You opening up was everything. Just everything. Thank you. Demi opened herself for others and you did too. I hope you know your strength is so appreciated and your compassion seen ❤️
Thank You for sharing, you are inspiring, my story is similar in many ways to rehabs, jails and the devil always had a dance saved for me. I am 43 now sober from alcohol and hard drugs over and a half. You inspired me to start a reaction channel, we can help so many through our songs and stories
Awesome!!!! All I can really say is be like Nike and just do it! Make sure you remain true to who you are. Don’t put on a show for anyone. Be yourself. Be consistent. And do not pay attention to the haters. When you have haters, you’re doing something right!!! ❤️ best wishes on your reaction channel journey!!! 💕 Jen
Your here for a reason never forget it everyone’s story is worth it! Thank you for sharing 🤍
Thank you for sharing your story, you're so strong💜 wish you all the best
Congratulations to you. You have overcome what seems like insurmountable odds. And to make it 7 years this year sober is amazing you should just be so proud of yourself. This song in this video have hit a lot of people very hard. There's a lot of details to the video but the one thing that stands out to me is when the screen goes blank and it becomes a splash of water she starts singing again and it looks like she's literally screaming and they said on set she was that she started to lip sync and it turned into blood curdling screams and she just screamed and screamed and screamed. And as co-director she felt that it was the way it should look and that it was cathartic for her to get that out.
Instant subscription. Love your honesty, your insight, and your personality. I can tell, regardless of trials and tribulations, you’re a good person at heart. Stay strong and keep at it!
You are so right when you said you NEVER imagined you would ever be shooting heroin, I felt the EXACT same way, by the time you’re that far gone it’s like “how the hell did I get here?! What am I doing?!” And yet no matter how bad you want to be clean by the time you’ve gone PAST rock bottom you just can’t, so eventually you just wish and hope the next one just ends it all, because after everything is said and done you truly believe that you and the world would be better off if you were just gone. For some people all it takes is ONE TIME, ONE MISTAKE but NO ONE WANTS to be an addict, NO ONE.
I'm glad you're still here
Me too ❤️ I think that today. I didn’t a long time ago
@@JustJenRx I understand, at the time nothing else matters.
thank you for reacting to this, I admire your bravery and honesty about your struggles and addictions I hope you're in a better place now ❤️
Wow you are so strong. Thank you and I’m so happy you survived as well
Thank you so much for sharing, it’s really inspiring hearing your story and knowing others aren’t alone❤️
I hope it helps at least one person 🙏
Hi Jen , well that was confronting to say the least , HUGE Kudos to you for your bravery in being so open and honest about your life. As a recent subscriber I am so impressed by your communication in your videos that I felt compelled to congratulate you for removing the shackles of abuse and addiction in your life and being an inspiration to others. May your future life's journey be filled with love , happiness and respect. Jen , you deserve nothing less. BRAVO JEN , you are amazing!!!
So Sorry for what you been through and very happy your ok and that doing fine now.
Jen, I am enthralled with you. For you to bare your soul in such a way. It is surreal to me. The life lessons you’ve lived, are as I can see, immense! “God Bless the broken road that led me straight to you”. I will like, and smash the subscribe button! “The things we do in life, will echo an eternity”. You’re here, and now. Thank you
What a beautiful , amazing and strong woman you are!
Keep going, you can do it 🖤
On a side note, I think you should react to their docu-series! It's really nice
congrats on 7 years of being sober i love you you are so strong
you are brave and vulnerable. thank you for sharing ur story
Your a warrior omg Jen 😭❤️❤️❤️ thanks for the video a for being here
I just found your channel. And I couldn't relate more to anyone. One year ago on August 1st I reached the height of my drug addiction, and that is the day that I overdosed and according to the paperwork I was actually dead for about 20 minutes the only thing keeping me going apparently was the bag they were pumping air into me with. They used eight narcans on me and that's all they had stocked on their ambulance. I don't talk about my personal life that often unless I know you. August 8th which is coming up I will be one year completely clean. I married into a very toxic family who introduced me to drugs late in life I'll be 34 this month. I take responsibility for continuing to do them I'm not placing blame here. Somebody gave me what I thought were painkillers, and this person apparently didn't like me too much because they weren't painkillers they were actually pressed fentanyl and heroin and I took all three and I don't remember anything after the first 3 minutes. I too did not see any white lights or deceased relatives or anything like that I honestly don't even remember like I said anything after the first 3 minutes it was like completely just blank. People did not call for help right away they tried to wake me up on their own and at that point I was already getting cold and my lips were turning purple I'm telling you all this from you know witness accounts. Thank you for sharing your story because I actually really needed to hear this sometimes you forget that you're not alone. I'm a new subscriber now and I will continue to look for your uploads. Sorry that this was a long comment but hearing your story and I love this song already because it hits home, it allows me to reflect on how far I've come and how much stronger I've become. I'm still in my journey but I'm almost when you're clean and I'm going to continue to be clean.
Hey girl. Whoa. That’s one terrifying story there. Did you make it out of your addiction? I didn’t see where you said you quit. If you have I’m glad you did, if you haven’t, I pray you do soon. And wow for “family” to do that?!! Sheesh, yeah what a dick. Js.
I put out more stories. My addiction series. I did 3 actually so far. It’s crazy. If you have time, watch them all. ❤️ and light sent. You got this btw!!! ❤️ if I got this, so do you!!!! 💕 Jen
As an addict, thank you for sharing your story!
Jen....I know u won't see this cz its so long ago...but thank u for ur honesty! U&I seem to have gone down the same scary path!!! Glad we r both still here!!! 😚😚😚
I’m watching you for the very first time and I adore your honesty, having nearly lost my mum to a heroine overdose when I was 11 and again when I was 12 this song hits hard especially with you being so open about your addictions. Sending you lots of love 💕
Thank for sharing your story and your reaction to Demi's Video🙆😢🎶💝🎥
You are truly inspirational!!! Thank you for sharing your story! You have such a great purpose! 😘😘😘
Maybe a video (if you can) on how to help someone you love to get them to overcome their addiction. My mother is 52 and since I was a baby, even before, she’s been addicted. Still is and I feel the family has tried everything.
The family can try anything and everything under the sun, until she’s ready to stop, she won’t 😔
Please react to Demi Lovato’s “Anyone” live performance at the 2020 Grammys! She Overdosed 4 days after writing this song. You can really see her raw emotion in her performance!
This reaction was incredibly moving and so informative to watch! You’re so strong! I subscribed straight away, thank you for sharing your story! 🙏🏻💗
Well done on 7 years sober & thank you for basically bearing your soul this should be an inspiration that others can beat their addictions or demons like you did. I'm just speechless at your story and so sorry you went through what you did but you and Demi are survivors. I lost my mum to her alcohol addiction and since her death I haven't drank any in 16 years but I dont judge anyone drinking around me & I've more empathy or sympathy for anyone going through that and other addictions ♥️
Omg iv watched alot of people react to this song but non were as raw as yours! So glad you overcame all of your addictions and have become such a succesful woman ❤ xx
Just Jen your a survivor. I am a new subscriber and you giving your honest life story may help someone else. You are a brave woman
Thank you so much for sharing your story! You are an amazing woman and I'm so touched by your words and your strength! More people need to understand that everyone has issues they are dealing with and need help in any way possible!
I can relate to some of their story and some of yours. Congratulations on overcoming addiction. You are so strong and you should be proud of this for owning your recovery and putting your story out there to help people and let them know they're not alone. Thank you this and thank you for choosing to stay alive to share your story and even save the lives of others. 💗
You should ABSOLUTELY react to their docu-series: Dancing With The Devil. It is every bit of their story with the overdose and everything around it like how it affected her family, their best friends, and their team. Absolutely nothing was let out. It is absolutely intense and soul quaking. You must give it a watch!
You’re a warrior! And I believe in you! I’m proud of you for re-living! Kisses from Brazil!
I am so sorry u had to go through that I almost crying seeing you this emotional🥺and thankyou for sharing such a storie, loveyou💕
Thank u for sharing ur story and u have been through it urself, tough times and experiences.
It is true if anyone needs help it is ok to ask for help.
I love this song and the lyrics.
Everyone can relate best songs r from the heart and most ppl have experienced or gone through which is nice to show he message of ppls stories to help encourage others too.
We r survivors.🤘💪
I love your honesty, I'm dealing with alcohol addiction. It's a scary lonely place!
I don't know you, but you have got a friend here.
🥺😭💔 God kept you warriors alive for a reason.❤️
Great reaction!!! Glad you’re doing better!!! 💚
Me too! Thank you! Hopefully one person sees this and gets out of that lifestyle too
Wow your so strong and so honest ❤️❤️
