I’m a recovering opiate addict, I know how fucked it is. I know many people don’t care anymore, no offense to him, but I hope Johnny is doing alright these days. I have two more months of Sublocade and I’ll be done with opiates altogether. Couple more weeks of Gabapentin taper. I hope he’s got a healthy support system around him. I wouldn’t have made it out if I didn’t have the family I do. People just don’t understand how insanely difficult it is.
As someone who’s had 7 major surgeries, what he’s saying is true. I remember morphine for the first time at 17, best feeling ever. Then i was hit with percs and Vicodin. Other surgeries i was given fetynal, diluden. I don’t have an addictive personality like he does, but i can understand why the opioid crisis is as bad as it is.
This man played such a pivotal point in my life during my teens. I always wanted to meet him but I heard he was awful to his fans and that would of ruined me, so I never tried. Looking back it’s probably because he was in his addiction and I’ve been there myself since my teens. So I can understand to a degree.
I met him when he was starting with Slaves, and honestly he was great! He interacted with all his fans. I even called him short and he laughed and was like yeah I know. I guess this was when he was “better”
Ive been to every show in Arizona of Jonnys/Slaves/Any other project hes done or been a part of since 2014. I've met him numerous times and taken photos and had very limited conversations with him. There was never a time he has EVER been anymore than a complete sweetheart to me and others ive seen him interact with. I've met him at all different times to, before the show, between sets, and after his performance. Adding to his defense me and most other fans were annoying 15 year old fangirls. But none of these factors played a part in how he treated us. I believe one show he got heckled and was still kind towards fans after the show. The things Jonny is known for that are shitty of him leads back to his addiction. His biggest scandal is definitely the macbooks he "sold", collected funds for, and never shipped. Another time he stated that due to finances or recording label issues he was unable to produce music, which he then was given donations by fans. In the end it seemed to not be true but im not sure if there was concrete evidence it was a lie. Theres also the Taylor Dean toxic/abusive relationship that they had which led her to begin using that people have a problem with him for. But like i said all these things stem from his addictions. I by no means am saying he is an angel, but as an opiate addict trying to get my life together after years of drug use I can say the things ive done during my addiction Id never dream of sober. But than again I have to take responsibility for those actions and accept I was a shitty person. Point is, if you have the chance to meet an artist you look up to, do it. Of course anything can happen but its still a memory none the less.
I'm 10 years clean off the horse. A musician as well. Jonny is one of the best vocalist in the world hands down. With a gift like that I'm glad he's doing better. Last time I seen him he was sober than relapsed shortly after and now sober again and back on his grind. People love and hate this guy but personally being a fan and fellow addict unless you been in our shoes you have zero clue what you would do just to feel not sick! I've seen his ups and downs and I'm glad he's alive and well and using his talent to do good! An amazing dude with one hell of a voice!
The sickness from a big habit is the worst suffering I’ve felt, anyone who thinks they wouldn’t lie, cheat or steal to make it go away has no idea what it’s like and I hope they never do.
@@sore_forey9259 A quote I heard the other day was "Addiction is one of the most human thing ever" which caught me off guard until I heard what the rest of the doctors speach. Everyone has that one thing that they must have and removing that thing will not only change a person but their chemistry. It was definitely more in depth than that, but the addiction that we today deal with is mostly always tied to drugs. I have over a decade clean and still don't feel the same. I still even dream about getting high. That's how much years of abuse no matter how much clean time you have everyday is a battle to stay clean. That's why when I see someone suffering I never judge or say anything negative about them bc I know how it is to be at rock bottom and it was until I had something to live for and felt like I deserved love and everything I once had before getting fed pills after an accident that spiraled out of control. I would never wish what anyone who has gone through what a we've been through any of the shit that addiction has to offer. Which is nothing but pain and even worse death. To look down on someone simply bc of a disease that they can't handle without a lot of help and guidance which a lot of people don't get that's why they relapse 20 times before they actually get sober. It's just something I personally can't hold against someone especially someone I love. Only if people opened their eyes and minds. Maybe then we will be considered just as human as "everyone else". Nobody wakes up and says "Hey I want to be an addict for 15 years". When people say we'll they chose that life I just want to throw them into a day of my former life and then hear them say it. And people who have judged got a taste and apologized to me years later and I always said that it wasn't me but being a slave to a substance. Hope you're doing better, and continue your personal journey to whatever makes you sane one day at a time! 🤘💪🏻🖤
When I had morphine, it made my head spin for about 20 seconds. Then, it was just patiently waiting for relief. After about 10 minutes, I realized I hadn't felt any pain in the last 5 minutes. No special euphoria, seeing sounds or hearing colors, etc. I have no desire to have more. Got oxycodene for pain after surgery recently. Took it for 2 days and then switched to tylenol. I don't think I'll ever understand it, but I empathize.
This is so awesome to hear. Especially since I feel back into a whole. I need to climb out again. But just seeing you do it really encourages me, I know I will be alright.
Why’s Jonny the only man I like with a stache? Hahah. I usually had mustaches alone but he pulls it off! I’m a recovering opiate addict. It’s literally Hell going through that. I really hope he’s doing well. 🙏 He’s got such amazing talent and I don’t want to see him lose to addiction.
I'm glad he's doing better, Downtown Battle Mountain was a life defining album for me. Completely changed how I listened to music. His voice is out of this world. It sucks he went through so much bullshit, most of it self inflicted. But I'm glad he's doing well and staying clean.
Jonnnnny! Been a Fan Girl since the early 2k's Warped Tour days! Congrats on your sobriety ❤❤ I would give my left Ovary for you to be my NA sponsor 😂 but really. I am struggling bad with addiction. In & out of rehab, homelessness, grief & loss.. the works. You are an inspiration! Just wanted you to know that. Keep being amazing. I love you! 💜
I had oral surgery in hs and discovered hydros. Was recreational for a while then i needed them before i knew it. Blues came to be and ive only been free from its clutches for like 10 montsh after almost 2 years of trying to pull myself together.
No one knows there gonna be a addict instantly, you do it once and then again , then you notice your wanting it buying it weekly then you want it daily and then when you stop you get sick and find out when you do it you feel better keep doing it and that’s how addiction happens
Dude...same shit I had a surgery before my second tour and then I started with pills.then moved on to sniffing dope.. read a lot of songs about it but his music and slaves is very relatable
@@jackpenber8959 lol I don’t think you realize that if he wouldn’t have done a lot of the things he did he would be in a lot better position he’s in now haha js

Yep I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for my family, opiate withdrawal is the worst thing a human can go through as far as I’m concerned
How’s it going? You make it off the sub?
May I ask is the subblocade better than traditional Suboxone? I know from personal experience the w/d of traditional subs were gnarly
Congrats but realize that you are an addict so the fight never has a finish line
Jonny is not doing good, he scammed my band a year or two ago for almost $1k
Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean is one of the best pieces of music ever crafted and it is a damn shame that Jonny got so lost in the sauce
He got out of the sauce. He's good for like 2 years now, I wish him nothing but the best and what he's doing now is really good tho
He looks like he's doing so much better. I hope he stays strong in recovery, he's super talented.

Oh i was an awful person as an addict and i regret it every day.
Dont bother, im a danger to myself hit hard when it became apparent i wasn't partying anymore.
I met him when he was starting with Slaves, and honestly he was great! He interacted with all his fans. I even called him short and he laughed and was like yeah I know. I guess this was when he was “better”
I just did a meet and greet with him…he was amazing…I will say that being 2 years sober and counting is doing amazing things for him.

Yeah LCD and mushrooms are for trips

As a current opiate user that wants to quit, but can’t figure out where to start, this makes me sad
Why’s Jonny the only man I like with a stache? Hahah. I usually had mustaches alone but he pulls it off! I’m a recovering opiate addict. It’s literally Hell going through that. I really hope he’s doing well. 🙏 He’s got such amazing talent and I don’t want to see him lose to addiction.
Did you recover now bro?
There is nothing….. NOTHING like some Jonny vocals!!!!
Tell you're Truth Bro!!! God heal and delivers.
Love your stuff, Johnny.
This interview was the best. Hope he continues his sobriety and transcend
I'm glad he's doing better, Downtown Battle Mountain was a life defining album for me. Completely changed how I listened to music. His voice is out of this world. It sucks he went through so much bullshit, most of it self inflicted. But I'm glad he's doing well and staying clean.

U got this girl! When u are clean and sober hit me up i would love to marry u! 😂😂
Always a big pharma game!
Third song is gonna be perfect for those late night drives this summer
I saw him at warped tour with that sign
I had oral surgery in hs and discovered hydros. Was recreational for a while then i needed them before i knew it. Blues came to be and ive only been free from its clutches for like 10 montsh after almost 2 years of trying to pull myself together.
same i had stomach surgery too

I love jonny !!! No matter what!!!
saw jonny craig at a show in delaware about a month or so ago, he seemed like he was still on the wagon.
My girl got a tooth removed and got codeine syrup and I took it and drank it all. But as garbage as that was that was the end for me.
My boy Jonny, I'm just glad he didn't let it take over him
It literally ruined his career Lmfaooo
@@AhoyPirateMason his career is fine, tf are you on about? Lmao
@@jackpenber8959 lol I don’t think you realize that if he wouldn’t have done a lot of the things he did he would be in a lot better position he’s in now haha js
@@jackpenber8959nowhere near what it could have been
I wonder if his stomach surgery that he's talking about here was the time that he drank so much that the bottom of his stomach tore open
same 💀
crazy.. morphine is nothing to me without Kratom mixed but oxy opana and heroin once I tried I dived in for 6 years straight
kratom started it for me
Usually the other way around
@@GucciButNotGuiltyexactly what I was thinking...
Lol Jonny capping. He parties and loves to get high. He wasn't some accidental opiate addict
its called active addiction
I call bs dudes been fucked up since he could drive lmao
I love JC but he is one of the weakest humans ive known about.
you just didnt use heroine.
getting clean takes strength
@@chadtv3435 you are right, because thats stupid.
