Hey Jessica, I've been watching your channel for the last 8 months and realized I've never left you a comment. I just wanted to tell you that you're an incredible woman! I admire your heart and resiliency so much. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You're beautiful!
Jessica, just a few days ago my mom who i took pride in saying "she was a single mom of 8 kids and never did drugs" told me she struggled with drugs her entire life. Shed be up for a week at a time and do things she wasnt proud of. And if it werent for your channel educating me about drugs and how it doesnt make someone a bad person, i very well have may cut off my mom completely. But we are working on things and she has been clean for 30+ years. All i can say is thank you.
Just remembered it's the addiction it turns you into a person you hate your mom is a strong woman to be able to show a strong side of her so you wouldn't see her break . I'm amazed and I'm too so proud of her sobriety . If you ever get confused ask questions and learn , she raised you well i can tell she's doing amazing she took addiction and beat it right in the face and i can promise you I'm sure it wasn't easy because I too struggled and I'm a mother . Your comment warmed my heart ❤️
I am fifteen, and my mom is a recovering addict. She got through it and has been sober for over fifteen years. Although it’s hard to understand that my mom made such serious mistakes, it makes her who she is. I love her.
So easy to forget about the pressure and anxiety that world comes with when you are so many years away from it. But it is something that you should remember and be grateful for that you are out of that's for sure.
I know this has nothing to do about this video, but for once I'm early. I'm at a young age in life where I can make very stupid mistakes. I know that every decision has a consequence, and one choice can end up very badly. That being said you inspire me to keep on the right tracks and always try to find the better way in doing things. You are such a strong and encouraging person and I hope your babies know how wonderful you are. I say that because I know growing up as a teen we don't all like or listen to our parents or understand that they're trying to do what's best for us. I'm getting off topic but basically you helped me see another side of life that I will forever be grateful for.
Thank God your learning this early on. Drugs is all smoke and mirrors. It might look and feel good at 1st but it's not long before you see the hard way. There's never finding out the easy way. It fools people who think I got this I can control this 1st trap. Then it can start out fun as most things do but if something seems good you always have a downside. Plus it's not only the taking of drugs there is so much shit that comes with it you couldn't even imagine. So keep thinking the way you are and save yourself a world of pain u will hopefully never have to comprehend. Go you.
Working in healthcare has brought me across a number of addicts over the years. I recently started working with teens who are addicts and on their road to recovery. I’ve told a lot of them about your channel and it has been SO encouraging for them and has been giving them hope and encouragement to push on because it will get easier. Thank you for posting these videos they are making a difference in lives all over the world. - PEI, Canada 🇨🇦
I’m so so sorry you lost your sons; losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a mom. Just trust me when I say us addicts know we are getting fentanyl, or worse, and each injection could mean death. But addicts get to the point of such high tolerance that we want that stronger shit. We know exactly what we are doing to ourselves.
Hey girl. Just got amazing news today - I got accepted to study law at one of the biggest universities in my country! ❤️❤️ I can’t wait for the semester to start in a few months. You have been such a huge inspiration for me!! I‘m dreaming about becoming an attorney and (while I was always interested in law and the justice system) Jen and you gave me so much hope and inspiration. Thank you so much.
I used to say I would never make it to 30 years old. I made it to 29 1/2 before everything caught up. Spent one night in jail. After that went to counseling diagnosed with PTSD. Stopped drinking, drugs, coffee and smoking all at one time. Like has been great ever since then. Been living in Thailand living the dream for over 25 years.
Jess I've been watching you since day one and I am soo proud of how far you've come! Your confidence in front of the camera now it's phenomenal, you're a real fucking UA-camr 💥 and a great one at that! Not gonna lie though, I do miss those awkward first ones 😩😂 Love you ♥️
I love your honesty Jess! I’m going to have 3 years sober this year, and you’ve helped me so much through this journey. I don’t personally know anyone in long term recovery, so I was never sure it was possible, so thank you 🙏
Your story time the other day about having a hard time even after being clean all these years sparked a conversation between my mom and I. I told her I never really thought of her as still battling addiction even after being clean for almost 3.5 years now. I work in social work, specifically housing families in homeless population. I never see them after they leave shelter and I just think, they're all better. You really made me think and have more patience with my mom and my clients. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your stories not only for those in recovery but for their loved ones. You are just such an inspiration. Also that shirt is bomb lol. Love you girly. ♥
One of your videos randomly was suggested in my feed I was pretty confused why this happened because I never look up videos with these topics but I decided to click on it. Now I’ve been binging all your videos. I can’t relate to you, I’ve never been in trouble with the law, have never tried drugs but you are such an inspiration. I know people who have been addicts and to be honest I always blamed them. I was upset with them saying they ruined their own lives but now listening to you I see things different. Your channel is amazing I truly believe your doing great things so happy for you and how far you’ve come.
Never been so early for an upload. Thanks for being a role model for recovering addicts. You're able to shed a light on things others dont know how to. Thank you
Hi Jessica! I normally never write comments like this, but I just wanted to thank you. I have been able to remain sober for almost a month now, and your videos have really supported and encouraged me these past few weeks. You are incredible, and I am sending you and your family all my love :)
My uncle struggled with addiction years ago. Hes a completely different person now and completely clean, its crazy how much getting clean changed him. Im so proud of him for coming this far. Only what sucks is my mum still doesnt trust him :/
Having family and people you care about addicted to drugs is horrendous it’s so painful to see them go through such pain watching your videos give me so much hope your an inspiration Jess never forget such an amazing person sending you so much love hope and support all the way from Ireland ❤️❤️
I appreciate these videos. It helped me realize I had an addiction problem that was straddling very close to the line where it would destroy not only my life but everyone else around me. Being able to hear you talk about the symptoms of addiction and denial of it and how it lined up *exactly* with what I was doing gave me an instant moment of clarity of "holy shit. I have an addiction and it's getting to the point of no return". It allowed me to immediately tear back some measure of control. Not where I want to be but so much better than before.
The way you tell stories while never losing sight of the main objective while helping others is completely astonishing. Your channel has quickly made it to my Top 3 watched channels. Please continue on your journey of sobriety and keep sharing your message.
Just lost a very good friend from high-school to a suicide/overdose. As someone outside of this world I have watched you for over a year I am able to understand a little more and not be as angry in the sadness. All the mixed feelings and "what ifs." Thank you.
Jessica you always inspire me, and i'm so lucky that i came across you chanel your story is so amazing and i'm so proud that you've made it this far, keep you head up because you are AMAZING!!!
It blows my mind everytime watch your videos... its like I'm watching myself! Our pasts are so similar it's crazy! The only real difference is I've been sober 6 years lol I'm so proud of you and how far you've come! It's so inspiring!
those stories touch my heart like nothing else. thank you so much for what you do jess, so much love to you and your beautiful family. you are my beacon of hope
God bless you and all these story times. I used to be in the same boat with starting out selling to not be poor an afford nice things then that turned into getting hooked on drugs myself and getting charged with trafficking at 26...the prison, probation, ect. Till I finnaly quit. I always told myself I wasn't going to make it to see 30 or 40 cause I knew with the life I was living it won't gonna last long. The gang life style and the drugs was a crash course to the morgue. Now I'm a yr and a month sober and off probation with no intent to ever go back.
I love that my only tattoo is such a different color that ppl often think it's fake 🤣 girl I am so proud of you for sharing your story and helping us who don't understand the life of an addict. I'm so thankful I found you and Tiffany
Jessica, you are so brave and beautiful for putting yourself out there in an attempt to help others that you probably will never know. God bless you 🙏 ❤
Hey jess ❤❤ I'm a new subscriber I watched all the old videos first so I could get to know you and I'm so amazed by how strong and amazing you are. Wow just wow keep up the great work 🥰
I really appreciate you speaking on this Found out 2 weeks ago my son died from straight up fental and I at first was so upset But I am now just praying for the person who sold him it instead of heron
It gets so tiring if there is anybody out there struggling please get help because it never gets better what Jessica is saying is very true. I have been sober 7 years this past October and I thank God everyday
Thanks for the video Jess. I've never done drugs or been arrested or anything like that but these videos do remind me that I don't what to go down that path. And ur videos are really educating . Stay safe everyone💜
I’ve said it once before but I’ll say it again: I can’t imagine you in your addiction. You’ve made such a 180 in your life and you’re so inspiring. Not to mention what you’re doing for prison reform, no matter how small your reach is.
We think getting clean is hard, and it is,but using,the insanity,the vicious cycle and getting more to stay high doesn’t come close to what we have to do to get clean! If I can live like an addict for years and put just a little into what I put into getting high into my recovery,it becomes a walk in the park!🙂
Love you an your family. they are beautiful!! To be out of that life is so freeing. While in active addiction I never thought I could get clean. but as of yesterday here I am 2 years sober! Every addict has another relapse but not every addict has another recovery.
I am always waiting for you to post a video and Jen. Absolutely love Jen. Been watching her since her first video. I been watching you too since your first video. Love ya girl. 💜💜💜
You are SO awesome! I love your videos here & I watch your TikTok videos. I don’t know you personally, however, I can tell you’re a genuine person... Truly beautiful inside/out. Thank you, Jessica for being you 🥰
recently discovered your channel and I think you are incredible and really paving the way to breaking stigmas on addiction and mental health. You are an amazing story teller !!! I am so proud of you
I justified dealing by thinking of myself as a street pharmacist. I was a one stop shop, slinging everything but the kitchen sink. I really thought I was helping people. I'm sure most of us try to justify it in our own way. Just like we really believe no one knows we're doing it! The mind of an addict.... I'm 8 years clean and still struggle. I was a speed baller. My DOC was H. I don't know if it contributes to the dreams and lack of sleep, but I get insomnia, dreams, severe mood swings ..... it comes in waves. Usually triggered by extreme stress in my case. As for getting sleep, I've tried everything too and nothing works. I was under an enormous amount of stress, I didn't sleep one second for 25 days straight. I was Stone cold sober at the time! I Had been clean a little over a year, and almost had a nervous breakdown, which led me to relapse. I scored a bunch of these bars and slept like a baby. Then boom! I'm back on the smack! It's a cruel, and vicious cycle!
I am so proud of you sharing your mistakes! That’s something very hard to do. You inspire people everyday and I’m waiting for the day you hit 1,000,000
OMG What does the shirt say? ALL. THE. TIME!!! Thank you so much for validating me! Sometimes I realize I didn't even hear the content, I was so focused on WHAT DOES THE SHIRT SAY???!!! I really appreciate that, thank you so much! BTW, you're awesome.
I saw this shirt in a previous video and wanted to know what it said.... And was pleasantly surprised when you revealed it at the start of this one! You are such an inspiration 💙
I love you so much, so many things u said totally hit home compromising my own rules owning my shit what my responsibilities truly are and it being my responsibility to figure out how to heal n fix my situation 💯.
It’s still crazy to me that we’re from the same area, and the drugs are becoming more and more of a problem every day.. I left New York but I could probably name 30 people I know that died of overdose right now.
Dope sick is nothing to deal with on your own. It's finally getting to where every state has some kind of help and you're not judged. There's so much help out there now...thank God. I've been clean for 3 and a half years. It's hard work, but worth it
Hei Jessica! FIRST of all: Love ur storytimes and ur channel ❤ Your family is beautiful and so are you!😊 SECOND : what you mention in the start of the video about dealers not out t make other people addicted... I agree, but just wanted to make people aware that; there are some dealers out there that do. At least in my country. I was unlucky and encountered 2 while I was new in the "community" .. worst of all, these people would "lace" milder drugs with more addictive drugs, to make sure people came back for more. I was lucky, my friends at the time was more experienced with drugs, recognized the high and were able to kit-test the drugs and didn't let me try it. They also made sure to let the perpetrators know they had been busted and got my money back. So to all the people still running around out there, please, stay safe, and if not sober yet, stay aware. Love from over the pond💖
Much love Jessica!!! Your One of my fav youtubers. Even tho im a dude, i relate to you and your stories so much, and i thank you for sharing. Im also a recovering addict going on 3 years clean. And your videos are powerful and theraputic. Thank you so much for sharing! So intellegent and gorgeous human being with a lovely soul🤪 and to see someone like you come up outta what you did is inspiring!!! Your way too good for that life. So good to see you rise up!! much love keep being you. Peace!
Love it when you share your story time videos with us Jess! I get so excited when I see you pop up in my notifications haha Thanks for feeling comfortable enough with us, your subscribers, it means a lot to us that you are able to open up with us and tell your stories and share your old and new world with us.. in my opinion anyways.. much love tho from Canada girl! Keepin’ it 💯 as always, can’t wait to see more of your vids :))
Save your life and happiness, she’s right. We ALL have to make good choices. Hard choices every day..l...Please, you are loved and strong. I believe she is right and turns lives around everyday. Thank you
Thank you for what you do ....I'm so inspired by your story ...I'm sober now and my former life is like a huge secret. If I shared my story maybe I can help as many people as you have .I've always believed there's a reason we're still here. So many just didn't make it .....
I love your videos!! Gives me a look into what jail/prison life is! My uncle was in and out of prison and he got out the last time and died from a over dose

I'm so sure your mom has so many stories and so much wisdom addiction is a hard war to win and she won it be very proud of her she's a warrior 💪
I am fifteen, and my mom is a recovering addict. She got through it and has been sober for over fifteen years. Although it’s hard to understand that my mom made such serious mistakes, it makes her who she is. I love her.
I’m proud of your mom, and of you! Good luck to your whole family.
@@teakettlebynataliehow’s it going?
I don't know what it is but I really enjoy listening to how Jess speaks, like how she articulate her words, it's something asmr about it
Ikr she speaks very clear while I speak very mumbled I’m jealous
I want a Jessica Kent garden gnome.
I know~ i feel so relaxed when listening to her✨
I keep seeing asmr and have asked numerous times what does that mean? Nobody will tell me
Doesn’t matter what I’m doing when I get your notification, I click on it everytime!!! This is my favorite channel hands down!!!
I agree. I saw her on Tik Tok live and I was so stoked. I'm so proud of her.
me tooooo
I get my butt out of bed for Jen Cutting at 8am, go back to sleep until Jess uploads. I call both of them my “imaginary friends”.
Not me on the toilet at work watching Jessica’s video
@@Mfox-xy4vj I’m at home and STILL have to go in the bathroom for 20 uninterrupted minutes!! Jen uploads before the chaos starts. I hide in bed.

I’m the same way. I started to make bad choices that could’ve very well led me to drugs but finding Jessica’s channel made me open my eyes b

Hello Jessica wish my sons were still alive and could have watched you. Sending Tons of love from Kentucky granny. Here I go to watch this video.
Praying for you
Love from Missouri to you in Kentucky, Granny! ❤️
My son passed away last year on Mother's day from Fental he thought I believe he was buying herion
I’m so so sorry you lost your sons; losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a mom. Just trust me when I say us addicts know we are getting fentanyl, or worse, and each injection could mean death. But addicts get to the point of such high tolerance that we want that stronger shit. We know exactly what we are doing to ourselves.
They are watching down on you. They are so proud:)

@I am a strawberry pretty sure Thailand doesn’t care if you were in a jail for one day. Or at all tbh

I Had been clean a little over a year, and almost had a nervous breakdown, which led me to relapse. I scored a bunch of these bars and slept like a baby. Then boom! I'm back on the smack! It's a cruel, and vicious cycle!
I am so proud of you sharing your mistakes! That’s something very hard to do. You inspire people everyday and I’m waiting for the day you hit 1,000,000
Your channel honestly teaches me so much.
OMG What does the shirt say? ALL. THE. TIME!!! Thank you so much for validating me! Sometimes I realize I didn't even hear the content, I was so focused on WHAT DOES THE SHIRT SAY???!!! I really appreciate that, thank you so much! BTW, you're awesome.
I saw this shirt in a previous video and wanted to know what it said.... And was pleasantly surprised when you revealed it at the start of this one! You are such an inspiration 💙
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the story Sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️ You re amazing. Keep holding to the right.
I love you so much, so many things u said totally hit home compromising my own rules owning my shit what my responsibilities truly are and it being my responsibility to figure out how to heal n fix my situation 💯.
It’s still crazy to me that we’re from the same area, and the drugs are becoming more and more of a problem every day.. I left New York but I could probably name 30 people I know that died of overdose right now.
So proud of you! Very interesting and inspiring. Thanks Jessica . Peace.
Love your channel. Watching your videos gives me comfort in my crazy life
New subscriber!I love how real you are!
Hands down my fav channel! Love all you do girl and love your personality and you are such an inspiration. 😘😘
Jess is so good at storytelling and explains everything so well. 💗
Early! I love your channel and the work that you do. You are amazing.
Dope sick is nothing to deal with on your own. It's finally getting to where every state has some kind of help and you're not judged. There's so much help out there now...thank God. I've been clean for 3 and a half years. It's hard work, but worth it
You are so amazing. I get chills from overwhelming happiness for you EVERY. SINGLE. VIDEO. You inspire me to do and be better every day
Hi Jess!! I'm early today, sending lots of love for you and your beautiful family
I am so proud of you!! And so glad I just found your channel I've been binge watching your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
CONGRATS on the 9 years!
Thank you for sharing your shirt. I love it, and I do love the fact that you let us read it. I hate not being able to read t-shirts, too!
Hei Jessica! FIRST of all: Love ur storytimes and ur channel ❤ Your family is beautiful and so are you!😊
SECOND : what you mention in the start of the video about dealers not out t make other people addicted... I agree, but just wanted to make people aware that; there are some dealers out there that do. At least in my country.
I was unlucky and encountered 2 while I was new in the "community" .. worst of all, these people would "lace" milder drugs with more addictive drugs, to make sure people came back for more. I was lucky, my friends at the time was more experienced with drugs, recognized the high and were able to kit-test the drugs and didn't let me try it. They also made sure to let the perpetrators know they had been busted and got my money back. So to all the people still running around out there, please, stay safe, and if not sober yet, stay aware. Love from over the pond💖
