      Hi Mandy,
      I’m Rachel. 😊👋
      I read your comment; and, although I don’t know you, I already know that you are an incredible person just like the resilient, vulnerable, courageous, empathic, transparent, honest, assertive, warm, gentle, worthy and unconditionally loving women, (pls forgive and correct me if I’m misgendering anyone), you mentioned above.
      You may be asking how I know you are an incredible person, Mandy. I know this bc one cannot see/recognize that others are incredible without noticing you, too, are also incredible even if at an extremely primal level. You are incredible! That feeling may be buried under years of trauma and shame, my dear, but you are incredible person even on the days your brain does its damndest to tell you otherwise.
      Blanketing you in green and pink healing light! Be gentle with yourself. Gentle hugs! 🤗
      💫✨💚✨💗✨💫

      @@multibuttercup101 I’m so sorry to hear about the recent loss of your grandfather. Death is devastating and grief is so painful. I often say that grief is the last act of love we have to give. May you and those touched by his life find comfort amidst the chaos. I pray he had a peaceful transition.
      The ripple effect of kindness is critical. None of us ever know what a smile, a comment, a wave could do for someone who feels like they are dying inside, their world crumbling around them, but fools the world with a smile. Happy to send you some distance reiki if desired. Grief and healing aren’t linear. It’s okay not to be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. Vulnerability is truly courage defined. Your grandpa will stay alive in hearts. By talking about him, you are keeping him alive now. It’s okay to cry 💕🌻

I don't think any of them were bad people. They were just in terrible situations that brought out the worst of them. I've also been blessed to see some of them find recovery and get that light back.

I have bad cravings all the time, and when I think sobriety is not possible for me, I always return to your channel and these videos give me hope and strenght to go through the detox. You are an angel Jen and I look up to you so much, thank you. In a year from now I'm gonna tell people how this woman practically saved my life when I was deep in my addiction. I know the will comes from within me, but you keep the fighter in me alive during this difficult time. I've tried and relapsed so many times before.
    I have a wish that you would do more videos about meth, since it's my worst craving and it's what I relapse on. Seeing you thriving knowing you were there too is everything 💖

      I’m prescribed 80mg a day & it does nothing- but I never take more than I should. If you don’t mind me asking about your addiction, how much Adderall were you taking? I’ve never had the opportunity to ask anyone, but I’m comfortable asking on Jen’s channel. We’re you able to taper down, or did you go “cold turkey”? Adderrall withdrawal is terrible! I don’t get the rush anymore, but I start detoxing after a day or 2.

BUT THEN... shit stopped working. i’m 24 now, i started when i was in high school. the monthly 90 pills of 20mg would only last me 2 weeks if that then i’d buy more from other people until my next refill. i was taking over 100mg a day. it’s messed up but i finally was able to stop. i wish i could explain more to you in depth, it’s complicated how something that a doctor gives me that was supposed to “help me” almost ruined my life. tapering doesn’t work in my opinion, once you’re addicted for me the cravings are bigger than i am...i can’t just take a little. it’s either all or nothing lol.

    Im a week away from being 6 months sober off alcohol after heavy drinking for 4 years. The withdrawal was insane and nearly killed me. I never want to go back to that. Also 3 years clean from opioids however alcohol always was more of my issue..probably the availability and social acceptability is one of the reasons. I'm so glad to be sober..I was thinking this morning how wonderful it feels to wake up and not be sick. I'm so proud of you Jen and everyone for being clean. I have so many regrets but I can't live in the past..it was a big lesson learned.

    Ellen Hopkins has some wonderful books. Crank and Glass are specifically about her daughter’s struggle with meth addiction. I know these are easy reads too because they’re in like the teenager section, but honestly I think some of these topics might be a little too grown-up for a teenager if there isn’t an adult around or someone with experience to talk to you after reading these types of books. She has amazing books all about mental health. They’re all fictional but I believe based on real people. Just other books people can read if they’re into it. Really enjoying this video, just like I enjoy all of them. Definitely need to get onto Amazon to send you some supplies.

    I truly love your channel and the work you do. I’m in the beginning stages of speaking to groups (I spoke to a class of nursing students a couple of weeks ago) about my story. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a toddler (I am blessed to have a mom who has degrees in psychology and social work and my dad was a police officer.). Ritalin used to be the only option for medication. I have the combined type of ADHD. My mom was against Ritalin and worked with me to control my behavior. Both parents taught me about the dangers of drugs and drinking from the time I was little due to a family history of addiction. When I lost my fiancé to alcoholism, I began grief therapy. I knew he had anxiety within a month of dating him. I had him an appointment with my nurse practitioner soon after. He never understood there are alternatives to making yourself completely numb with alcohol, although medication misuse is also a huge problem. My therapist immediately recognized my ADHD and how my anxiety, depression, and OCD were all related. She encouraged me over several sessions to try medication for ADHD in addition to anti-depressants and medication for emergency anxiety attacks. My life has changed so much for the better because of adderall. I do agree that there are some similarities between Adderall and meth. I researched a lot. From what I understand meth is a combination of different chemicals when someone makes it and the user may not know. There is a drug that is actually methamphetamine with the brand name Desoxyn. I’m not sure I have ever heard of anyone being prescribed it, but it’s possible. It’s also VERY easy to get Adipex in our area for weight loss. As long as you have a BMI above 18.5, it’s usually not an issue. Having lost someone to addiction while also needing medication that has so many roadblocks to getting helps me understand both sides of the issue. I don’t have the answers, but I’m glad so many of us are fighting for people with ALL types of mental illness, whether it’s addiction or schizophrenia or eating disorders. Thank you for helping to make a difference!

    There is something I've noticed that is reflected is what you shared. Years raising our kids, foster children and working the the juvenile courts, I've noticed there seems to be two personality types. There are those who have a horrible first experience in anything and run, paranoid to ever have that experience again, then many I know, like you, say a very first experience was horrible, frightening...but then continue and keep using. That is what interests me and I've heard same from troubled kids (not just drug use), and I think an understanding of that, how to see that and recognize that personality early, would be important for especially parents, to have another piece to see who may be more at risk, how to understand better and maybe how to approach better.

    Thank you for always being so real with everyone about addiction. While I wish I could say I’m as strong as you, so haven’t made it there yet. Opiates are a bitch. I’ve tried so many times even with sub strips but by the end of the day I can’t take the body temperature changes and skin scrawling and restless leg. And I hate the way subs make me feel so I never want to take more than half. I’ll find my way one day but it’s nice to know it’s possible and your not the only. Thanks for all you do girl and yes the sky is the limit❤️

    Im 5 years clean now. I never OD'd either. Which is insane, I absolutely should have. I got lucky in that sense and of course my addiction never went further than pills. I was physically dependent on those but the devil was in the xanax for me. I was always nodding out and not remembering days at a time. Super scary idk how I didn't quit breathing mixing the two!! Loved the video, as usual and love you too!🖤

    I also wanted to add to my last comment..... When I said that when I used to do it, I'd call it "Tweaker Time" && it's is absolutely 💯% true what you said, when you tell someone "I'll be there in 20mins, it turns out to be 7hours later" ⬅️FACTS 💯!!!! I actually laughed out loud when you said that, cuz boy oh boy does that bring up alot of memories for me!!!! Especially when I was the one waiting for the person to bring it to me so I could get high lol it was soooo FREAKING AGGRAVATING that all of my old dealers used && also dealt cuz that meant I'd have to wait like 7hours when they told me 20mins ((like you said)) && all I wanted to do was get high!! But everyone that used meth, including me, ran on "Tweaker Time"

    We used to always call it “clear” or “speed” then since we have tar we call it “black” so it was always “black and clear “ . I had to learn all new slang when I went back to California from Brooklyn

    Jenn can you please do a whole video dedicated to harm reduction techniques for folks using meth in all its forms? Primarily psychological harm reduction, self care, and best consumption practices. I work in harm reduction and there's so little content out there actually aimed at those using; most is higher level for care providers or not specific for meth.

    Hello Jen. Thank you for a great Q&A. I have a question for you. I'm not on Instagram or anything like that so I don't know where you get your questions from. Anyways here's my question. I live in a motorhome and there are many people in my vicinity that live in motorhomes, quite a few people and they're all on meth. They've admitted they're on meth and they have no problem saying they're on meth. So I know that I'm not making this up. What I noticed with people that are really deep into meth is that they leave so much trash and so many objects around their motorhome, it seriously looks like a miniature dump. And I wondered what's that about? All this collecting of little things and things that are trash that literally belongs in a dumpster. But I've even seen them diving in the dumpster to find things. What kind of things, they say it doesn't matter just any kind of cool thing. I noticed a part of the detail oriented type situation you were talking about. Where they'll be lining up things and fixing things and cleaning things but at the same time everything around them seriously it makes you sick to walk by the motorhome. What is that about? do you know. I see it all the time in meth users. If you ever could answer this question I would love to know why do they become filthy and everything around them becomes filthy. Yet the will clean some object for hours. There's no judgment in what I'm saying. I feel very bad for them and it's an awful situation. Thanks again have a great weekend

I feel awful that ive been so sick and been hospitalized so much that I never could send the box of winter knitted cold winter items etc. But I was wondering if I can send a gift card?? I’ll save and keep making the clothing items and send them to you early in the autum later this yr. I have surgery’s coming up so I’ll get my friend to go to the post office outlet to mail out the gift card if it’s good for you. How do I make it secure? So it won’t get opened and disappeared like the last time I sent a few things to other people back in august....? DHL was one delivery service thst opened the envelope to the point that it was stuck together in just a dime sized spot. I was so mad. I should have reported it. Live and learn .
