It doesn't matter if it's 21 days or 21 years. Progress is progress and I'm proud of you and every single person that keeps fighting every day. I'm rooting for you, Pat, and anyone else that reads this who's struggling. You aren't your addiction.
Patrick I fuckin love you man. Seriously. It takes so much courage to do what you're doing, and I am so fucking proud of you. 21 days is fucking huge. Your videos give me life and thank you for posting this.
I'm 14 days sober, it's so damn hard but we got this Pat 💚 So grateful for you being so honest & open putting this video out, it's so important to talk about! You were spot on with everything, I really felt it & brought me to tears. The urges & withdrawals are temporary. Better things/our true purpose is out there waiting for us
Я трезв уже 14 дней, это чертовски тяжело, но у нас есть Пэт. Так благодарна за то, что вы были так честны и открыты, выложив это видео, это так важно обсудить! вы были правы во всем, я действительно это почувствовала и довела меня до слез Побуждения и отступления временны. Лучшие вещи/наша истинная цель где-то там ждут нас
this is so insanely helpful. as someone on the autism spectrum, I used to rely on alcohol to self-sooth. now asmr is helping me regulate feelings of overwhelm. thank you
1: The little thumbs up was adorable 2: You're not less because of your autism either. You're as capable as anyone else. You're just different but we're all different and that's beautiful. 3: Even though I don't struggle with addiction, I appreciate people who do amazing things, and this video is amazing. Thank you for caring enough to put this out there dude, you're awesome ❤ Take care 🥰.
Don’t and I mean don’t ever even try them! Stay clean, sooooo much better I promise you my life (if I’m lying) that it is‼️ I wouldn’t wish this internal struggle on anyone.
you are so loved❤ i know how hard it is to remember that when you’re lost in your own head, but one day you are going to find happiness and peace. you will grow into a person who cannot possibly imagine hurting themselves and you will become so proud! there is a beautiful future ahead of you babe! you’ve got this!
not an addict but this is helping me with my suicidal and sh thoughts/urges. thank you patrick Edit: I didn’t expect this to get so many likes. I’m sorry so many people relate. Please keep living. Please try. You can do this. Life is sooo hard and it’ll continue to be hard but you don’t wanna throw it all away and ruin your life forever. You’ll miss out on so much. You got this. I believe in you 💕
hey dude, i’ve been just passively watching your videos for a good while now and like i really don’t know how much you actually read through super long messages like this or even internalize them if you do, but i just wanted to say im proud of you 🤷 i think we really all are. your videos like these ones touch so many people and in no small part because they’re so real. and it’s not easy to be real or vulnerable and im sure you know that, but i want to acknowledge it in a way that’s gives you the recognition you deserve for just fucking doing it anyway. it’s so hard, i know it’s hard, and we’re proud of you dude. you’re gonna be okay too, in fact how about let’s say we’re gonna be okay. fuck ups happen but you’re still going, you just gotta keep going, you fucking got this. love you dude
No because I started to watch pat because i felt comfortable and relatable to him and as an autistic person you never really feel that anywhere until ur with other NDs, and 6:18 rlly confirmed my feeling that he was on the spectrum too. I only get on with other NDs, which is why pat is the ultimateee asmrtist.
8:18 is breaking my heart. 21 days is amazing and I'm SO proud of you. You can do this, Pat. ❤ (Have struggled with sh, and dermatillomania for many years.)
I’m one of the few passive or silent viewers that feels the need to comment on this. I’ve been watching your videos since the very beginning, no exaggeration. There’s something extremely comforting about this video, almost moving. I hope things are well man, you deserve it.
Instant click, I used to struggle so much and was in a really dark spot and took a lot of stuff, I’m thankful that I’ve been better for awhile now but this video is still a comfort even without needing the very amusing tough love. Reading the description it’s good to hear you’re doing far better, to make it even on the vulnerability, I found your channel nearing a year ago (couple of weeks from now) and I was in a terrible genuinely dangerous relationship. Getting on UA-cam to see a new video from you was one of the bright things through my days then and kept me holding on. You give people hope and joy, and while you may be a stranger I’m proud of the progress you’ve made, speaking as someone who’s been there. Thank you for being here and trying !!
I’ve been struggling with a porn and masturbation addiction that I find isn’t talked about much ever (especially as a girl), but this video gives me so much more motivation. I’m so proud of you Pat and know that these videos mean so much to so many people! Keep it going!!
from one girl who's struggled with it to another, i believe in you. remember to keep fighting even after you've broken free, keep good habits up. falling back into it is possible, especially with recurring depression. stay strong, you're so loved, i love you. you're amazing
@@zerolovetaps Dude, you have no idea how much your words mean to me. Like, I literally started crying at the fact that I’m not the only one who has struggled with this. I’ve gotten clean for a while and then I fell back into it and I can’t seem to get out. Thank you so much and I’ll keep fighting 💪❤️
I’m so proud of you for putting this out here (ik this sounds weird but let me elaborate), I know how vulnerable of a subject this can be since many people find it weird or gross but just know this, you are so strong and I know that you’ll be okay. You’ll get through the tough patches of your life and be stronger than ever. Please have a great life and work towards the things that make you happy and confident in life.
It’s so deeply comforting that I see another woman struggling with this feeling too. I feel like people get teased or just told it’s not that bad when it’s brought up but I’m with you girl. Stay strong, we’ll be ok
As a woman, I'm in that boat. I got married last month and thought maybe that would magically change something? (It didn't) But every day we wake up and try. You can do this. Here's something that really helped me - if you relapse. You didn't fail. You stumbled - but you're moving forward. I'm proud of you. ❤
The great thing about this video is that it helps other people. However, it also helps you. It gives you some motivation and accountability. If you ever feel the urge you can look at this and rethink the decision. Well done Pat. Truly.
Pat, your videos have been a source of comfort for me for a long time, but I’ve never left a comment before. Today, I felt I had to say thank you. I’ve been struggling with addiction, but I’m 2 weeks sober now, and hearing your raw, genuine encouragement in this video gave me strength. You truly make a difference, and I’m grateful for your work and presence. Thank you for existing and sharing this with us. ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
Congrats on being sober, Patrick ! I've never really had struggles with substances personally since I'm hardcore straight edge, but I've definitely seen the hell people on them go through first hand. If anyone reading this is struggling, I believe in you. I wish everyone nothing but the best in these crazy times.
I can tell how personal this is dude, thank you for sharing and congrats on being sober. I’m close to two years sober from my own addiction, and I promise things get better. They get easier as time goes on and you learn to cope with healthier ways. Wishing all the best for you and anyone else reading this. I believe in you
many times i have thought “my life sucks, might as well enjoy this, it’ll help” knowing that i was wrong but unwilling to acknowledge my conscience. hearing someone else repeat my exact thought process hit a bit different, thanks patrick
Im around 8 months clean from sh. Its been rough, especially since no one in my life seems to understand why I even got hooked in the first place. Your videos are such a comfort. Ive been watching for a couple months now and I just want to say thank you. Thank you for these videos and this community that youve made. As an autistic teen in public school, life isnt exactly easy. Thank you for making it that bit better. These videos truly mean so much, man
I’m so insanely proud of you, 8 months! You are such a strong person and I’m so so SO proud of you. I know life can be tough, trust me. Just remember that no matter what low’s you hit in life, stay strong. Find someone to talk to, anyone. If you ever fall back into that habit and remember this comment you can always, and I mean always, talk to me. I may be a stranger but I’m here for you if you ever need it. Have a beautiful and full life and remember to embrace the little things in life like sunsets and the old people who say good morning when they pass you lol! But jokes aside, I mean it. Love life even if it’s hard because there are people who care, even if you don’t know them or know that they exist, I hope this helps 🫶
7:56 "no one's gonna pull you out... you have to. and you can" is absolutely profound in its simplicity. You are a gem and I hope you can apply everything in your message to yourself as well. whole video is a testament to the empathy you have. we love you Pat, and we are so proud you're pulling yourself out one day at a time, that's all anyone could ask for! :)
That garage shit is so funny 😭. I love you Patrick. I feel like I’m talking back and forth to you. I relate a lot. I love you brotha. I needed this message. Thank you!
My father is an alcoholic and always has been. A functioning one, to the point where I never knew it growing up. I'm neurodivergent and he's undiagnosed, so it's most certainly self medicating. But I've watched him start to cut back this last year after FIFTY YEARS of alcoholism and it's so damn hard. It's so goddamn hard and anyone who goes through the process of sobering up is a fucking superhero. That's real strength. Everyone in the comments speaking to their experiences, Pat, you're all incredible. Give yourselves love and gentleness tonight while you fall asleep.
not an addict in the typical sense, but i struggle with bulimia and this really helped me :> this is the kind of thing that really helps so many ppl. thank you so much pat. very proud of you, stay strong king
Long time lurker, first time commenter. I cannot express how much I needed to hear this. I’ve been struggling a lot, and it gets so easy to downplay it, and act like nothing is wrong. I love you man, no one should face demons alone
I've been struggling a lot with weed and alcohol this year, I've been trying to find a new job but it's been hard. Sitting at home doing nothing makes it unbearable but you're so right, I need to just move on because I know it will get better. I've been watching you for well over a year now for sure and I comment sometimes, your videos are lovely, made by someone who truly understands ASMR and it has helped me a lot. Thanks, Patrick!
I started taking percs and Xanax at a really young age and I’m only 17 and 2 years sober. Sometimes it’s good to hear stuff like this because no one was really there for me. I appreciate this a lot.
Thank you so much, Patrick. You have no idea how much you've been helping us all. Im having to stay sober because im visiting my mother, and I've been craving a drink so badly. Yesterday, i rewatched your other addiction help video, and it helped me push through another day sober. I already know this one will help me out a lot, too. Good luck on your journey, im very proud of you, and we all love you very much
2 years and 7 months sober here 🙋♀️ so proud of you pat. 21 days or 21 years, it all matters and I know how tough that is. The process sucks so damn much but I'm so glad you're able to make it out. You're doing great!
8:46 Patrick, everything will be okay, both you and your life I promise. Remember we love you sm, When you reassure us you are reassuring yourself, I can see it. Pls take care of yourself, i wish i can hug you very tight oh my
As someone who beat my addiction (and also is autistic lol) I understand you on so many levels. You are so lovely and one of rare asmrtists who can sound so honest and so human. Huge respect. Enjoy soberty!
I’m 21 days clean when I’m seeing this just now. It’s a milestone you should be proud of too! The first month is always the hardest for me and I’m so happy to be making progress alongside you. One day at a time man. We’re all rooting for you!
patrick - we love you. i don’t remember the last time i was 21 days sober, so you have no idea how incredible of an achievement that is. you’re going to be okay. you’re a warrior, man. you’re an inspiration. you change lives. you are so brave and beautiful and you’re gonna get through this and be a better happier person at the end of it. thank you for everything you create and share and speak - you’re truly a beautiful soul and it comes through to everyone who watches your videos. sending you the utmost love and gratitude and respect. we got your back through this my man.
It’s actually so bizarre that I found your channel around the time I found how much I enjoyed weed, i genuinely have come full circle over the last year and a half and my connection to your videos feels so much more personal now that I’ve been doing way better at not smoking. Your impact is incredible regardless of if you see it or not Pat. Never stop doing amazing dude
i know this wasn’t really for me, but as a long term bulimic this video really snapped me out of the cycle i’ve been going through for what feels like forever. i DO know better and this is the first time i’ve actually come to terms with it. thank you man :’)
I’m rooting for you Patrick. A strong support system and good coping skills go a long way. Being vulnerable and open is one of the many things we all love about you. I know you got this ❤
I’m struggling with a lot of different addictions right now and I’m having a really rough time mentally. Thank you for this video and honestly all of your videos. You’re such a safe and comforting presence and make me laugh even on my worst days. Thank you, pat 🤍
From one Patrick to another you are incredible man. The courage and resolve it must’ve taken to sit down and make this video is mind boggling. I’ll take the first step and skip out on the dispensary tonight. Thanks Patrick
Let me share a little story. Right after you started posting a year ago, I quickly noticed that you were in that kind of state. Your ASMR, with its distinctive imagery like that of "David Lynch's films", brings back fond memories. I clearly remember writing in the comments, 'You have talent. Even if the subscriber count doesn't follow, keep going.' Although I haven't commented recently, I watch your videos every night to fall asleep. I believe everyone who follows you is a fan who accepts you just as you are. Thank you for your wonderful work🥰!
Congrats Patrick! I've been watching your videos for about a year now and i feel this parasocial friendship with you, keep going, you got this. You have a whole community here rooting for you!
hey Patrick, just want to thank you for your amazing asmr. I know it’s a lot of pressure to stay sober especially with so many people congratulating you on it but I know you can do it. You’re doing a wonderful job and I know I’m a stranger but I’m so proud and happy for you. I don’t have an addiction however I’m autistic and also struggle immensely with my BPD, so I guess my ‘addiction’ per se is very extreme mental breakdowns I can’t control, but I believe we can both get through this. Life is so fucking difficult but we can do it❤
i dont know you but i hope you’re okay, and life is hard i had a mental breakdown today because of school and my extreme anxiety. but regardless i hope you are okay ❤️🩹
@@crosjeg aw thank you so much! I’m sorry to hear you are struggling as well - I hope things get better for you soon and that all goes well with school ❤️
Hey Pat. I watch your vids everyday and love every single one. Ive been clean and sober for 7 months now. Congrats on 21 days sober! Youve got this! Proud of you!❤
i've been off of hard substances for a while now. it may feel small now, but being clean for even a few days is better than using day in and day out. this is a great video, Pat. thank you. we always need reminders.
I am so proud of you. I don’t know you, but I watch your videos and they mean a great deal to me. You seem like an incredibly good dude (the fact that you make a vid like this says a lot
10 minutes in and you got me in my feels man, you’re such a genuine guy Patrick, you are giving the world you’re best, you’re doing amazing! We love you man💙💙
Hey I’ve been passively watching your videos and they really help me, but sometimes I noticed that you were too hard on yourself. please, take a moment to congratulate yourself and be proud of you, because we all are so proud of you. You’re great man, we love you. Thank you for everything :)
this is insanely vulnerable but thank you for making this. I don't like to consider myself an addict so to speak, I dont drink too heavy or anything, no pills, but i DO love to smoke and Im not talking abt ciggs. If we all lived in states where it was legal, we'd be totally fine. Substance is never an answer, allowing your emotions to come and go rather than drowning them out. thank you patrick. once again you're looking rather dashing today
Patrick, thank you for being so vulnerable and honest about your experience and life. Don't ever apologize for what you feel. Crying is not weakness at all. I appreciate the strength in that moment and all the thousand emotions, regrets, hopes in those tears. Please keep being you. Life is a long journey and we eventually learn to love ourselves in our strengths and weaknesses. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm proud of you Pat! I believe in you and appreciate your words of encouragement for anyone else that is struggling. ASMR/humor aside this was a wonderful and motivating message. We are here for you, always!
Strongest tingles I’ve had in so long from the hand movements + near tears over how important this message is. I wish I had the confidence to create a video this honest, thank you so much for sharing it❤❤❤
I'm gonna save this video and play it everytime I want to drink. Thank you so much it means the world. Congratulation on your 21 days I'm so proud of you!
We are all someone's baby, we were all a child. It's never too late to get that innocence back and remember you are a person, someone's loved one.. we all are connected somehow and we need to remember that life isn't so lonely after all. Mental wars are the hardest to move past. This isn't normal its time to reach out to someone who can help and listen❤️❤️❤️ in that you'll have the most support.
Ouch, I'm only a caffeine addcit.. In all seriousness, I used to be addicted to self-harm. I have been clean for 3 months and 7 days. My longest in the long run has been 4 months. Thank you, really. You're a blessing.
I'm about a year and a half clean from sh. While i can't say i don't still think about it sometimes, it does get better. It gets so much better, and you all deserve to experience. I'm so proud of Pat and everyone in the comments❤
I’m with you man. I have 20 months but I feel I still haven’t beaten my addiction, since I’ve still not gotten back what it took from me. I’m proud of you. What helps me most is to know I am part of a whole. Not part of the hole inside me, but part of a huge cell. It makes my urges seem less important, and instead of feeling like a freak and a failure I am the same as everyone else, or at least every other addict. Don’t hurt yourself for messing up. It’s not that you don’t have enough willpower, and when u fuck up you’re not failing. Every time you fall and get up again is proof of your strength and self respect. You’re not alone in these feelings of isolation and helplessness. I’m you and you’re me. Many people can understand you and know these feelings well. I wish you the best❤️
I like knowing you're talking to us and yourself. You are the best and I love that I get to have you in my life - would not have happened otherwise. We all need a Patrick.
Hey Patrick I never usually comment on any videos but I wanted to thank you for what you do. You make so many people feel less alone and I think that's amazing. Congratulations to everyone who is currently working on being sober or is. You aren't alone. ❤
i’m really struggling with an sh addiction rn and i relapsed last week but im newly 7 days clean and this video is helping me stay motivated to avoid it, thank you pat 🫶
Progress is not linear-it is okay to mess up during your sobriety journey. The important thing is that you pick yourself up, wipe off the dust, and keep going. I'm so proud of you, Patrick. This is no small feat! Soon, 21 days will be a month. And then another. And then years. I'm 5 years sober from drugs and 4 years sober from alcohol-it gets easier, friend. Sending so much love to you and all the other addict homies around the world. We've got this. 💚
I haven’t personally struggled with substance abuse but very easily could have throughout my life, addiction and mental illness run in my family and I’ve certainly struggled with my mental health most of my life. I’ve seen beloved friends and family come out of addiction and I know it’s incredibly difficult, and I just want to commend you for making it this far and being so open and honest about your own struggles. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and have been very inspired by you. I’m rooting for you ❤️
i love you pat. thank you for bringing me some light/guidance into this rough patch i'm going through ❤ 21 days is huge! i'm really proud of you. here's to 21+ years to come 🥂
Patrick, I’ve been watching ASMR videos nightly for years but this is the first time I’ve ever commented on one. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and it was just so easy to connect with your energy. I figured you might be on the spectrum because I am too and felt like I could sense it. I struggle with addiction a bit myself, so seeing this raw display of vulnerability from you gives me courage to face the demon in my head more often, instead of listening to it when it convinces me to do things I shouldn’t. Anyways, congrats on 21 days sober man!
been thinking of going back to smoking because of how much finals is kicking my ass mentally and physically, this really does help more than you realize so thank you
thanks pat. scared about a lot of things right now and been struggling to cope. i can feel your struggle and motivation and it inspires me and makes me feel less alone
Man I’m tired. It helps every time you upload cuz you a real one ya know? Every time I watch your videos I can relate and you won’t believe what an impact your videos have on my life. It helps. It truly helps. Thanks for making videos pat. It hurt when I saw you cry but you’re not alone ya know, everybody’s going through their struggles. Shine like a star. Luv you pat❤️
Thank you for this Patrick, thank you for your vulnerability. I'm struggling not to go back to a bad habit and this has seriously helped so much. You are very loved and appreciated. Thank you.
I watched ur videos when u first started releasing content and then I stopped watching for some reason. But I’ve just stumbled across your videos again and I wanted to say im rlly proud and happy of what you’ve done with your channel!! And good on you for getting over this addiction of yours!!
Recently just relapsed after 11 months, i thought that I would never be able to get back on that track again. Until I saw this video. I now have a sense of hope that I can do it again and stay clean for longer, thank you Patrick you are truly amazing and never stop being amazing. Love you dude
This vid is LIGHT Patrick. We all are so so so proud of you! You are great man, all I want to do is thank you for been here, opening your heart to us, always with your kindness, your confortable presence YOU ARE NOT YOUR ADDICTION! YOU ARE STRONG! I'm rly glad to be in here suporting you since the very beggining, even though I don't comment very often, cuz I don't have a very good english and feel a bit shame for that... You always help me, even though you don't know me, I now have more strong to fight my own addiction Thank you so much for everything Pat, your soul is gold
You're doing really amazing!! We are all so proud of you Patrick! You got this man and even if you fall back sometimes, you will make it! Love you man🙏
Thanks Pat for curing my delulu but fr this is a message that needs to be heard for some (me included) but we're so glad you're doing better Pat and taking care of yourself. We all believe in you and want the best for you in life💚
i tried a substance of unspecified nature at a party on accident. the high it gave me was something i’d never experienced before, and even though i was totally scared, i kept being able to bring myself down from a panic attack. this lead to me justifying it - “i can try it again and enjoy it because i know how to cope with it!! i’ll be so cool!!” i’m going to a party this weekend and this video reminded me i can be fun and enjoy myself without trying to be and do something im not. thanks as always pat :)
Also thank you for sharing patrick, not an addict again but since winter has hit i haven’t left my room much except to work and go home, this has given me the motivation to actually go outside and go clean my basement
Congrats on your 21days! You deserve some peace of mind! Hope everything's good for you, and i also hope you feel better now that you made it this far again! Don't beat yourself too hard on breaking it last time, it was to make the rewards of being free even better! 🥰
The first minute of insults got me tingling like a crackhead. You are my substance Pat

It doesn't matter if it's 21 days or 21 years. Progress is progress and I'm proud of you and every single person that keeps fighting every day. I'm rooting for you, Pat, and anyone else that reads this who's struggling. You aren't your addiction.
Patrick I fuckin love you man. Seriously. It takes so much courage to do what you're doing, and I am so fucking proud of you. 21 days is fucking huge. Your videos give me life and thank you for posting this.
I love you too fr
They say it takes 21 days to build a habit. You made it, Pat 🥺
I'm 14 days sober, it's so damn hard but we got this Pat 💚
So grateful for you being so honest & open putting this video out, it's so important to talk about! You were spot on with everything, I really felt it & brought me to tears.
The urges & withdrawals are temporary. Better things/our true purpose is out there waiting for us

1: The little thumbs up was adorable
2: You're not less because of your autism either. You're as capable as anyone else. You're just different but we're all different and that's beautiful.
3: Even though I don't struggle with addiction, I appreciate people who do amazing things, and this video is amazing. Thank you for caring enough to put this out there dude, you're awesome ❤
Take care 🥰.

hey idk you but i love you and i'm glad you're here ❤
hey dude, i’ve been just passively watching your videos for a good while now and like i really don’t know how much you actually read through super long messages like this or even internalize them if you do, but i just wanted to say im proud of you 🤷 i think we really all are. your videos like these ones touch so many people and in no small part because they’re so real. and it’s not easy to be real or vulnerable and im sure you know that, but i want to acknowledge it in a way that’s gives you the recognition you deserve for just fucking doing it anyway. it’s so hard, i know it’s hard, and we’re proud of you dude. you’re gonna be okay too, in fact how about let’s say we’re gonna be okay. fuck ups happen but you’re still going, you just gotta keep going, you fucking got this. love you dude
I did read the whole thing and I really appreciate it :’) he really nice. I love you too
Week sober from fentanyl, i love your videos bro. They help me fall asleep everyday thanks for another great asmr video have a nice day/night bro
I’m so proud of you
you’re doing great!!
you got this❤
🎉Great job!!
that’s fucking amazing dude that’s HUGE
No because I started to watch pat because i felt comfortable and relatable to him and as an autistic person you never really feel that anywhere until ur with other NDs, and 6:18 rlly confirmed my feeling that he was on the spectrum too. I only get on with other NDs, which is why pat is the ultimateee asmrtist.
realest shit right here
This is exactly how I feel. ND creators scratch the brain itch in a way that no other creator can. Thank you Patrick!
really appreciate your vulnerability pat i’m 16 struggling w addiction definitely needed to hear these words tonight
you are strong asf baby!!! wanting to be better is the hardest part done ❤ so so proud
Your strength will grow alongside you!!! You’ve got this, stranger.

You have such a beautiful life ahead of you
8:18 is breaking my heart. 21 days is amazing and I'm SO proud of you. You can do this, Pat. ❤

I’m one of the few passive or silent viewers that feels the need to comment on this. I’ve been watching your videos since the very beginning, no exaggeration. There’s something extremely comforting about this video, almost moving. I hope things are well man, you deserve it.
Instant click, I used to struggle so much and was in a really dark spot and took a lot of stuff, I’m thankful that I’ve been better for awhile now but this video is still a comfort even without needing the very amusing tough love.
Reading the description it’s good to hear you’re doing far better, to make it even on the vulnerability, I found your channel nearing a year ago (couple of weeks from now) and I was in a terrible genuinely dangerous relationship. Getting on UA-cam to see a new video from you was one of the bright things through my days then and kept me holding on.
You give people hope and joy, and while you may be a stranger I’m proud of the progress you’ve made, speaking as someone who’s been there.
Thank you for being here and trying !!
Hey, I’m really glad you’re doing better. I appreciate this beautiful comment and I’m happy you’re here
I’ve been struggling with a porn and masturbation addiction that I find isn’t talked about much ever (especially as a girl), but this video gives me so much more motivation. I’m so proud of you Pat and know that these videos mean so much to so many people! Keep it going!!
from one girl who's struggled with it to another, i believe in you. remember to keep fighting even after you've broken free, keep good habits up. falling back into it is possible, especially with recurring depression. stay strong, you're so loved, i love you. you're amazing
@@zerolovetaps Dude, you have no idea how much your words mean to me. Like, I literally started crying at the fact that I’m not the only one who has struggled with this. I’ve gotten clean for a while and then I fell back into it and I can’t seem to get out. Thank you so much and I’ll keep fighting 💪❤️
I’m so proud of you for putting this out here (ik this sounds weird but let me elaborate), I know how vulnerable of a subject this can be since many people find it weird or gross but just know this, you are so strong and I know that you’ll be okay. You’ll get through the tough patches of your life and be stronger than ever. Please have a great life and work towards the things that make you happy and confident in life.
It’s so deeply comforting that I see another woman struggling with this feeling too. I feel like people get teased or just told it’s not that bad when it’s brought up but I’m with you girl. Stay strong, we’ll be ok
As a woman, I'm in that boat.
I got married last month and thought maybe that would magically change something? (It didn't) But every day we wake up and try.
You can do this. Here's something that really helped me - if you relapse.
You didn't fail. You stumbled - but you're moving forward. I'm proud of you. ❤
The great thing about this video is that it helps other people. However, it also helps you. It gives you some motivation and accountability. If you ever feel the urge you can look at this and rethink the decision. Well done Pat. Truly.
Pat, your videos have been a source of comfort for me for a long time, but I’ve never left a comment before. Today, I felt I had to say thank you. I’ve been struggling with addiction, but I’m 2 weeks sober now, and hearing your raw, genuine encouragement in this video gave me strength. You truly make a difference, and I’m grateful for your work and presence. Thank you for existing and sharing this with us. ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
Keep going. Thank you for existing too
Congrats on being sober, Patrick ! I've never really had struggles with substances personally since I'm hardcore straight edge, but I've definitely seen the hell people on them go through first hand. If anyone reading this is struggling, I believe in you. I wish everyone nothing but the best in these crazy times.
21 days is unbelievable. You are so powerful holy shit.
I can tell how personal this is dude, thank you for sharing and congrats on being sober. I’m close to two years sober from my own addiction, and I promise things get better. They get easier as time goes on and you learn to cope with healthier ways. Wishing all the best for you and anyone else reading this. I believe in you
many times i have thought “my life sucks, might as well enjoy this, it’ll help” knowing that i was wrong but unwilling to acknowledge my conscience. hearing someone else repeat my exact thought process hit a bit different, thanks patrick
Im around 8 months clean from sh. Its been rough, especially since no one in my life seems to understand why I even got hooked in the first place. Your videos are such a comfort. Ive been watching for a couple months now and I just want to say thank you. Thank you for these videos and this community that youve made. As an autistic teen in public school, life isnt exactly easy. Thank you for making it that bit better. These videos truly mean so much, man
I’m so insanely proud of you, 8 months! You are such a strong person and I’m so so SO proud of you. I know life can be tough, trust me. Just remember that no matter what low’s you hit in life, stay strong. Find someone to talk to, anyone. If you ever fall back into that habit and remember this comment you can always, and I mean always, talk to me. I may be a stranger but I’m here for you if you ever need it. Have a beautiful and full life and remember to embrace the little things in life like sunsets and the old people who say good morning when they pass you lol! But jokes aside, I mean it. Love life even if it’s hard because there are people who care, even if you don’t know them or know that they exist, I hope this helps 🫶
7:56 "no one's gonna pull you out... you have to. and you can" is absolutely profound in its simplicity. You are a gem and I hope you can apply everything in your message to yourself as well. whole video is a testament to the empathy you have.
we love you Pat, and we are so proud you're pulling yourself out one day at a time, that's all anyone could ask for! :)
That garage shit is so funny 😭. I love you Patrick. I feel like I’m talking back and forth to you. I relate a lot. I love you brotha. I needed this message. Thank you!
My father is an alcoholic and always has been. A functioning one, to the point where I never knew it growing up. I'm neurodivergent and he's undiagnosed, so it's most certainly self medicating. But I've watched him start to cut back this last year after FIFTY YEARS of alcoholism and it's so damn hard. It's so goddamn hard and anyone who goes through the process of sobering up is a fucking superhero. That's real strength. Everyone in the comments speaking to their experiences, Pat, you're all incredible. Give yourselves love and gentleness tonight while you fall asleep.
not an addict in the typical sense, but i struggle with bulimia and this really helped me :> this is the kind of thing that really helps so many ppl. thank you so much pat. very proud of you, stay strong king
Long time lurker, first time commenter. I cannot express how much I needed to hear this. I’ve been struggling a lot, and it gets so easy to downplay it, and act like nothing is wrong. I love you man, no one should face demons alone
I've been struggling a lot with weed and alcohol this year, I've been trying to find a new job but it's been hard. Sitting at home doing nothing makes it unbearable but you're so right, I need to just move on because I know it will get better. I've been watching you for well over a year now for sure and I comment sometimes, your videos are lovely, made by someone who truly understands ASMR and it has helped me a lot. Thanks, Patrick!
you’ll get through it, just try to stay clean and make sure to read books 👍
I started taking percs and Xanax at a really young age and I’m only 17 and 2 years sober. Sometimes it’s good to hear stuff like this because no one was really there for me. I appreciate this a lot.
Thank you so much, Patrick. You have no idea how much you've been helping us all. Im having to stay sober because im visiting my mother, and I've been craving a drink so badly. Yesterday, i rewatched your other addiction help video, and it helped me push through another day sober. I already know this one will help me out a lot, too. Good luck on your journey, im very proud of you, and we all love you very much
2 years and 7 months sober here 🙋♀️ so proud of you pat. 21 days or 21 years, it all matters and I know how tough that is. The process sucks so damn much but I'm so glad you're able to make it out. You're doing great!
8:46 Patrick, everything will be okay, both you and your life I promise. Remember we love you sm, When you reassure us you are reassuring yourself, I can see it. Pls take care of yourself, i wish i can hug you very tight oh my
As someone who beat my addiction (and also is autistic lol) I understand you on so many levels. You are so lovely and one of rare asmrtists who can sound so honest and so human.
Huge respect. Enjoy soberty!
I’m 21 days clean when I’m seeing this just now. It’s a milestone you should be proud of too! The first month is always the hardest for me and I’m so happy to be making progress alongside you. One day at a time man. We’re all rooting for you!
Great job!🎉
patty i hope you can do this and be clean forever!!
patrick - we love you. i don’t remember the last time i was 21 days sober, so you have no idea how incredible of an achievement that is. you’re going to be okay. you’re a warrior, man. you’re an inspiration. you change lives. you are so brave and beautiful and you’re gonna get through this and be a better happier person at the end of it. thank you for everything you create and share and speak - you’re truly a beautiful soul and it comes through to everyone who watches your videos. sending you the utmost love and gratitude and respect. we got your back through this my man.
This kind of content is the stuff that makes real changes in other people. Keep uplifting your audience it is healing in so many ways 💖
It’s actually so bizarre that I found your channel around the time I found how much I enjoyed weed, i genuinely have come full circle over the last year and a half and my connection to your videos feels so much more personal now that I’ve been doing way better at not smoking. Your impact is incredible regardless of if you see it or not Pat. Never stop doing amazing dude
i know this wasn’t really for me, but as a long term bulimic this video really snapped me out of the cycle i’ve been going through for what feels like forever. i DO know better and this is the first time i’ve actually come to terms with it. thank you man :’)
I started watching this channel when trying to get sober and get back on my meds, and I’ve successfully done that, so this vid is nice.
Congrats on 21 days clean Pat!! That’s amazing dude
so proud of you being clean for 21 days
I’m rooting for you Patrick. A strong support system and good coping skills go a long way. Being vulnerable and open is one of the many things we all love about you. I know you got this ❤
Everyone can see themselves in this, and it takes incredible bravery to admit it. Love you 💙
yall have absolutely no idea how much this man means to me 🙌 we love you Pat !! 💕^^
I’m struggling with a lot of different addictions right now and I’m having a really rough time mentally. Thank you for this video and honestly all of your videos. You’re such a safe and comforting presence and make me laugh even on my worst days. Thank you, pat 🤍
I was never really a believer but when you said "life has a plan for you, don't fuck it up" I felt that in my soul
struggling mentally really bad and this helped a lot. I cried instead of going back to my unhealthy coping skill, and it felt nice.
From one Patrick to another you are incredible man. The courage and resolve it must’ve taken to sit down and make this video is mind boggling. I’ll take the first step and skip out on the dispensary tonight. Thanks Patrick
Let me share a little story. Right after you started posting a year ago, I quickly noticed that you were in that kind of state. Your ASMR, with its distinctive imagery like that of "David Lynch's films", brings back fond memories. I clearly remember writing in the comments, 'You have talent. Even if the subscriber count doesn't follow, keep going.' Although I haven't commented recently, I watch your videos every night to fall asleep. I believe everyone who follows you is a fan who accepts you just as you are. Thank you for your wonderful work🥰!
Congrats Patrick! I've been watching your videos for about a year now and i feel this parasocial friendship with you, keep going, you got this. You have a whole community here rooting for you!
hey Patrick, just want to thank you for your amazing asmr. I know it’s a lot of pressure to stay sober especially with so many people congratulating you on it but I know you can do it. You’re doing a wonderful job and I know I’m a stranger but I’m so proud and happy for you.
I don’t have an addiction however I’m autistic and also struggle immensely with my BPD, so I guess my ‘addiction’ per se is very extreme mental breakdowns I can’t control, but I believe we can both get through this. Life is so fucking difficult but we can do it❤
i dont know you but i hope you’re okay, and life is hard i had a mental breakdown today because of school and my extreme anxiety. but regardless i hope you are okay ❤️🩹
@@crosjeg aw thank you so much! I’m sorry to hear you are struggling as well - I hope things get better for you soon and that all goes well with school ❤️
Hey Pat. I watch your vids everyday and love every single one. Ive been clean and sober for 7 months now. Congrats on 21 days sober! Youve got this! Proud of you!❤
i've been off of hard substances for a while now. it may feel small now, but being clean for even a few days is better than using day in and day out. this is a great video, Pat. thank you. we always need reminders.
I am so proud of you. I don’t know you, but I watch your videos and they mean a great deal to me. You seem like an incredibly good dude (the fact that you make a vid like this says a lot
10 minutes in and you got me in my feels man, you’re such a genuine guy Patrick, you are giving the world you’re best, you’re doing amazing! We love you man💙💙
Hey I’ve been passively watching your videos and they really help me, but sometimes I noticed that you were too hard on yourself. please, take a moment to congratulate yourself and be proud of you, because we all are so proud of you. You’re great man, we love you. Thank you for everything :)
this is insanely vulnerable but thank you for making this. I don't like to consider myself an addict so to speak, I dont drink too heavy or anything, no pills, but i DO love to smoke and Im not talking abt ciggs. If we all lived in states where it was legal, we'd be totally fine. Substance is never an answer, allowing your emotions to come and go rather than drowning them out. thank you patrick. once again you're looking rather dashing today
Patrick I felt this in my soul. My thoughts aren't actually about substances but I do feel incredibly miserable. Thanks for this! Love you 💕
hope you feel better ❤️🩹
Patrick, thank you for being so vulnerable and honest about your experience and life. Don't ever apologize for what you feel. Crying is not weakness at all. I appreciate the strength in that moment and all the thousand emotions, regrets, hopes in those tears. Please keep being you. Life is a long journey and we eventually learn to love ourselves in our strengths and weaknesses. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm proud of you Pat! I believe in you and appreciate your words of encouragement for anyone else that is struggling. ASMR/humor aside this was a wonderful and motivating message. We are here for you, always!
Strongest tingles I’ve had in so long from the hand movements + near tears over how important this message is. I wish I had the confidence to create a video this honest, thank you so much for sharing it❤❤❤
It’s worth it Pat i promise
You’re achievement so far speaks volumes for your capacity
You are enough as you are to get through this
I'm gonna save this video and play it everytime I want to drink. Thank you so much it means the world. Congratulation on your 21 days I'm so proud of you!
21 days is usually how long it takes to break a bad habit. Good work pat(:
We are all someone's baby, we were all a child. It's never too late to get that innocence back and remember you are a person, someone's loved one.. we all are connected somehow and we need to remember that life isn't so lonely after all. Mental wars are the hardest to move past. This isn't normal its time to reach out to someone who can help and listen❤️❤️❤️ in that you'll have the most support.
I've been clean since 2018, and honestly, out of all the ways to quit, Pat has to be the realist, sweetest, meanest method ever.
Ouch, I'm only a caffeine addcit..
In all seriousness, I used to be addicted to self-harm. I have been clean for 3 months and 7 days. My longest in the long run has been 4 months.
Thank you, really. You're a blessing.
Well done for getting clean! It took me a while, but I am about to hit the 5 year mark. You'll get there too. I'm proud of you!
@@evanl. Thank you! It means a lot. I'm proud of you too! That's a long time to be clean! :]
I'm about a year and a half clean from sh. While i can't say i don't still think about it sometimes, it does get better. It gets so much better, and you all deserve to experience. I'm so proud of Pat and everyone in the comments❤
I’m with you man. I have 20 months but I feel I still haven’t beaten my addiction, since I’ve still not gotten back what it took from me. I’m proud of you. What helps me most is to know I am part of a whole. Not part of the hole inside me, but part of a huge cell. It makes my urges seem less important, and instead of feeling like a freak and a failure I am the same as everyone else, or at least every other addict. Don’t hurt yourself for messing up. It’s not that you don’t have enough willpower, and when u fuck up you’re not failing. Every time you fall and get up again is proof of your strength and self respect. You’re not alone in these feelings of isolation and helplessness. I’m you and you’re me. Many people can understand you and know these feelings well. I wish you the best❤️
I like knowing you're talking to us and yourself. You are the best and I love that I get to have you in my life - would not have happened otherwise. We all need a Patrick.
You don't know how bad some of us needed this, thank you Patrick ❤
You've got this, to the people who will see this comment you also got this!💯
Hey Patrick I never usually comment on any videos but I wanted to thank you for what you do. You make so many people feel less alone and I think that's amazing. Congratulations to everyone who is currently working on being sober or is. You aren't alone. ❤
Proud of you for 21 days man! And thanks for this video it couldn’t have been posted at a better time.
i’m really struggling with an sh addiction rn and i relapsed last week but im newly 7 days clean and this video is helping me stay motivated to avoid it, thank you pat 🫶
Progress is not linear-it is okay to mess up during your sobriety journey. The important thing is that you pick yourself up, wipe off the dust, and keep going. I'm so proud of you, Patrick. This is no small feat! Soon, 21 days will be a month. And then another. And then years. I'm 5 years sober from drugs and 4 years sober from alcohol-it gets easier, friend. Sending so much love to you and all the other addict homies around the world. We've got this. 💚
I haven’t personally struggled with substance abuse but very easily could have throughout my life, addiction and mental illness run in my family and I’ve certainly struggled with my mental health most of my life. I’ve seen beloved friends and family come out of addiction and I know it’s incredibly difficult, and I just want to commend you for making it this far and being so open and honest about your own struggles. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and have been very inspired by you. I’m rooting for you ❤️
i love you pat. thank you for bringing me some light/guidance into this rough patch i'm going through ❤ 21 days is huge! i'm really proud of you. here's to 21+ years to come 🥂
Patrick, I’ve been watching ASMR videos nightly for years but this is the first time I’ve ever commented on one. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and it was just so easy to connect with your energy. I figured you might be on the spectrum because I am too and felt like I could sense it. I struggle with addiction a bit myself, so seeing this raw display of vulnerability from you gives me courage to face the demon in my head more often, instead of listening to it when it convinces me to do things I shouldn’t. Anyways, congrats on 21 days sober man!
been thinking of going back to smoking because of how much finals is kicking my ass mentally and physically, this really does help more than you realize so thank you
thanks pat. scared about a lot of things right now and been struggling to cope. i can feel your struggle and motivation and it inspires me and makes me feel less alone
I actually love you pat. You heal apart of me thats yearning for a better life so. I appreciate your existence pat. So much love and healing to you ❤
Tysm for this pat ! And never feel sorry for crying ! I also shed a tear 🫶 you’re making me feel less alone in this. Love you ! 🫶
Man I’m tired. It helps every time you upload cuz you a real one ya know? Every time I watch your videos I can relate and you won’t believe what an impact your videos have on my life. It helps. It truly helps. Thanks for making videos pat. It hurt when I saw you cry but you’re not alone ya know, everybody’s going through their struggles. Shine like a star. Luv you pat❤️
Thank you for this Patrick, thank you for your vulnerability. I'm struggling not to go back to a bad habit and this has seriously helped so much. You are very loved and appreciated. Thank you.
I watched ur videos when u first started releasing content and then I stopped watching for some reason. But I’ve just stumbled across your videos again and I wanted to say im rlly proud and happy of what you’ve done with your channel!! And good on you for getting over this addiction of yours!!
This is very motivating even as someone who isn't addicted to anything. Just being more in control of your life, making the best of our limited time.
Recently just relapsed after 11 months, i thought that I would never be able to get back on that track again. Until I saw this video. I now have a sense of hope that I can do it again and stay clean for longer, thank you Patrick you are truly amazing and never stop being amazing. Love you dude
This vid is LIGHT Patrick.
We all are so so so proud of you! You are great man, all I want to do is thank you for been here, opening your heart to us, always with your kindness, your confortable presence
YOU ARE NOT YOUR ADDICTION! YOU ARE STRONG!
I'm rly glad to be in here suporting you since the very beggining, even though I don't comment very often, cuz I don't have a very good english and feel a bit shame for that... You always help me, even though you don't know me, I now have more strong to fight my own addiction
Thank you so much for everything Pat, your soul is gold
You're doing really amazing!! We are all so proud of you Patrick! You got this man and even if you fall back sometimes, you will make it! Love you man🙏
Thanks Pat for curing my delulu but fr this is a message that needs to be heard for some (me included) but we're so glad you're doing better Pat and taking care of yourself. We all believe in you and want the best for you in life💚
i tried a substance of unspecified nature at a party on accident. the high it gave me was something i’d never experienced before, and even though i was totally scared, i kept being able to bring myself down from a panic attack. this lead to me justifying it - “i can try it again and enjoy it because i know how to cope with it!! i’ll be so cool!!” i’m going to a party this weekend and this video reminded me i can be fun and enjoy myself without trying to be and do something im not. thanks as always pat :)
Also thank you for sharing patrick, not an addict again but since winter has hit i haven’t left my room much except to work and go home, this has given me the motivation to actually go outside and go clean my basement
Congrats on your 21days! You deserve some peace of mind! Hope everything's good for you, and i also hope you feel better now that you made it this far again!
Don't beat yourself too hard on breaking it last time, it was to make the rewards of being free even better! 🥰
