    I was an alcoholic and have been 6 and half years sober.
    I grew up in a disfunctional home…my mother was narcissistic and my father was emotionally weak. I was sexually abused at the 6yrs old and my mother took the side of the perp and even had the audacity to visit him in jail. I finally got justice in 2007 when I put him in jail. He got out in 2012 which hit me hard. I have attempted suicide, self-harming, binge eating, and smoked dope. I have used music to get my life back together. The music of Nightwish hit my heart and in turn saved me!

    I am a recovering opiate addict myself. After I got out of detox I was put on suboxone and was on it for 5 years. Now I am 2 years clean off of the subs and I can't believe how far I have come. Family and music got me through my dark times.

      My recovery experience with Suboxone was not helpful. For example, I was easily addicted to it for the next year. I was no longer using or drinking and confident in my recovery because Suboxone made me feel better & it was prescribed. My doctor was the only licensed psychiatrist in my area and was very much pushing Suboxone to my own desire for more. It resulted in an overdose that nearly took my life.
      I'm grateful. I am clean and sober. Yet, I admittedly smoke herbs for anxiety and pain relief. ✌️

    • @justusbryant7366

      It is so weird to hear people put on suboxone for addiction. I had to get of instanyl. Got it for my kidney colic attacks and got addicted. Never felt high or something.
      I got suboxone for my pain instead of instanyl and it works great. But when I forget a dose I get soooo sick. I also got tramadol for the attacks but that doesn’t work. And i think that is because of the suboxone. So I want to get of suboxone but when I try to lower it is like hell!!! Worse then when I got of fentanyl plasters, my antidepressant etc. I hate it :(

    I am not jealous or envious, but I so desire what you have Jen. I so admire you. You're a hero to me. At 53, I am still struggling and cannot see a way out right now. I really want God to break this curse off me. I beat the opiate addiction and alcohol only to become a slave to "kraken." The glass d**k. Your story is so familiar. The fact that you're willing to share your story, makes you such a beautiful soul. Outside, and inside. I could ramble but won't. I really need help and prayers.
    BTW: Being a musician too, made me stretch my tolerance beyond limits. So I can identify being able to put a ton of garbage in my body that would kill the average person. There's no glory in it, thats for sure. I'm so glad I found your videos. God bless you and yours, Jen. 😊❤🎶🎸🙏👍

    Recovering IV heroin addict here as well. I was an escort and i manipulated kind hearted men to pay for my habit. I'm really ashamed of that part. I shot up for close to 10 years and I never wanted to get clean. I always said I'd die with a needle in my arm. My clean date is March 11, 2019. I got clean because I got pregnant with my baby girl. I will never go back to what I was. It takes a really strong person to put the needle down. I dont know you but I'm so proud of you!

    Jen... I recovered from an alcohol addiction after being in a near fatal car crash after “blacking out” behind the wheel while drunk & ending up in an induced coma for just over a week. After a serious “heart to heart” with the cops investigating the accident & an incredible doctor I met in the hospital, I decided to quit.
    ...Now, I’m coming up to 7 years of sobriety, am happily married & about to become a 1st time dad in a few months & I DON’T miss the booze. You mentioned “having a platform”... PLEASE continue being a “voice for the voiceless” & pretty much the strongest person I’ve encountered on UA-cam 💖💪💖. I know you hope your message helps more than just 1 person, but even if JUST ONE is helped & inspired to quit their addiction, then people will listen. Thankyou so much for being so open, brave & courageous in telling us your story. Much love always from 🇦🇺Australia🇦🇺 💖💖💖

    Jen! Congrats to you!! I've heard heroin is so damn hard to get clean from, but you did it!!!
    I became addicted to opiate pills following a bad knee injury from playing soccer. The doctor constantly prescribed them for a year and then cut me off.... boom!
    I was addicted to Vicodin for almost 6 years. I shopped for doctors, pharmacies, would injure myself intentionally, and hit rock bottom.
    My husband threatened to divorce me and take our boys. I found Suboxone and have been sober for 14 years. I still take 1 strip of Suboxone daily, but it's a lot less than the 5 strips
    I was previously prescribed.
    Keep up the great work Jen!!! You are awesome!!

    I’ve seen your political shorts- and this video popped up- I’ve been clean since 8/4/2016. Stay strong- and keep helping people with your story. You know we all feel like we are the only one going thru this. You talking about pawning jewelry- I remember about to pawn my medals from my army service- but I opened my Dad’s sock drawer and her the sound of money- hidden in a roll of socks- SCORE!!! Man I feel horrible looking back at what I did

The father in heaven and his son our messiah are the answers for everything. I pray every body returns to God. Good job Jen I know it's seemed almost impossible to quick. Happy you made it out from under the devils finger. Praise the lord.

    I watch your videos and learn your story to give myself hope. I have a very dear friend that is in the middle of this battle. You give me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel for her. She tells me all the time she wants to get her stuff together only to disappear for weeks or months. As a friend I worry and sometimes get pissed when she does. She will quit responding as soon as I call her crap. Your helping me not give up on her so I am getting something out of it. I am getting the encouragement to not walk away. Thank you for being open.

      Lemme be the first one to tell ya it takes years, and it’s not impossible!!! As soon as you stop what you’re doing, and you can show them you’ve changed, it will all fall into place! My stepdad literally just called me for the combination to their safe! It took me quite a while to gain back all of their trust that I lost.

    I really resonated with a lot of your story, but especially with you saying you have the keys to your mothers safe. When i was going about 18 months sober, i stayed at my brothers house alone before his wedding. I saw a huge jar of cash on his mantle above the fireplace. It was his and my sister in laws honeymoon cash, id say hundreds of dollars. It meant a lot that he trusted me to stay there and not hide it. When i was in active addiction people would hide their purs ewhen i was around. Its such a good feeling when you see how people trust you again

    I have never tried drugs or been addicted to anything in my life but I have seen so many people and been around the ones I care go through this and I personally would never wish this on anybody. You are a very brave woman to talk about everything that went on in your life. You have that strong will to overcome that dark period in your life. I wish you well as you have so much to live for and to enjoy the life you deserve. Keep up the good positive attitude.😉
