Thank you Carrie! That means the world 🌎 to me!!!! I most definitely will be doing the trilogy now...(MANY) Thanks to you, my dear!!! You ROCK 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🥰😘😍

Just Jen No, no. YOU rock! I have tons of respect for anyone that can overcome something as all-consuming as addiction. Especially to heroin. I had a friend I had to pick up off her bathroom floor a couple times so her daughters didn’t find her like that. It was a struggle for a long time, but she’s been clean for over 10 years now. I know it’s a really dark place, but you came out of the darkness carrying a light that I appreciate you shining on the rest of us 🖤(You might want to go check on Sonny and that Ice Cream video 😂)

@@SparkimusPrime oh boy I just seen this! Sonny loves ice cream 😂

@@JustJenReactsI’m three years late but that opening line, and look, hit me like a ton of bricks. And no, not Ronnie’s but yours. I’ve seen so many reactions to this and not one person has put those two things together. It’s as I’ve told others, you can see when someone gets what Ronnie is putting down because you have to have lived some of what he has to truly feel it. Not a lot of music really touches me but his does and it’s for this reason. It opens up those doors to feeling the negative that I always shut down and, for most people, that may not be all bad. But compartmentalize long enough, be addicted long enough, and it begins to feel like you’re dead, as you said.

@@JustJenReactslast thing, you’re the only person I’ve heard say “I find it hard to believe in religion”. I try telling people I’m not religious, but I don’t feel like it’s a choice. I just don’t believe it and I can’t believe it. You can’t convince me, people have tried and I’ve accepted their arguments but it’s still all human derived fairy tales created 2,000 years ago in 350,000 years, at least, of homo sapians existing.

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I can only hope at this point!

Thank you Scott!! You have no idea how important that is to me!!!

This legit made me cry!!! Thank you!!!! ❤️

@@JustJenReactsthree years later, ditto. This is probably the best reaction video to any song I’ve seen. The fact people don’t say what you said about yourself when talking about Ronnie is ridiculous to me. People give him shit, try to cancel him, talk bad about him, etc. Dude was already very famous, was addicted to drugs, went to prison, came out with no money and no band, then rebuilt himself into what he’s become now. Yet, no one discussed that when talking their shit. The same people who will say “people deserve second chances” don’t actually give it.

Yeah Ronnie said that on Twitch

Awww thank you!!! That means a lot ❤️

Thank you for sharing!!!! And congrats for getting clean!!! That’s the first step! I tell my story to give hope! I’m always here too, if you need a sober buddy!!! Much love to you Dawn. ❤️ Jennifer.

I just about kicked mine before I went, but I made an almost fatal decision to do some one last time, after 5 months of sobriety. It was just a little bit too. Then it was lights out, and I was luckily found and brought out of it. I was on probation at the time too 🤦🏻‍♀️ so my stepdad called my judge and told her, and that was it. She gave me 3 years for my possession charges. Best thing that’s ever happened To me as well!!! In prison, after 2 whole years of dry sobriety, I finally got into a treatment program called Hearts. That’s where I got all of the tools and methods to stay clean! And this November 1st will be 6 years to the day!!! Prison sucked, but it got me away from all of the losers who wanted me to stay addicted!!! Including my old self!!! Thankfully I learned my lesson the first prison stay! But before that, it was a hopeless cycle of jails and failed rehab stints! I was in rehab, no kidding 32 times, and over 17 times being arrested!!! A lot of people blame the failed justice system as to why it took me so long to get it right! But I see it this way, I could’ve been caught doing much worse than I did! So I’m grateful everyday! Like Ronnie, I take my sobriety extremely serious, hence why I don’t talk to anyone who I used to hang out with (during my addiction)! I went all beast mode on a few people who tried to weasel their way back in!!! And here I stand today!!! Feeling better than ever!!! 🤗

@@JustJenReacts Thank you so much for sharing your story! That was a lot to live through! You're an amazing person and though I don't know you personally, I'm still very proud of you!

It’s okay bro! It’s all be uphill from 11/1/14!!!

YOU GOT THIS!!!! Remember that!!! If I could do it, and I was one of the most weak-minded people out there, then you surely can!!!!

@@JustJenReacts thanks.

You’re welcome!!!

I’m honored to be called your sis! Awww! And I have an army behind me...literally!!!! My sobriety isn’t going anywhere!!! I’ll keep on fighting this battle, and I will win that war!!! I once held a CDCA license, which is a chemical dependency counseling assistant license. But my past continues to haunt me! No one wanted to hire me!!! I was like “so you’d rather hire some average Joe, who has no life experience with recovery, than me, who has all of these years sober?! Because I did it on my own??!” Yeah 🙄 so I gave up on that dream of helping other addicts bc society deemed me unfit bc of a criminal record!!!! Well, I find it very difficult not to lose sleep over how many people may have died, because I wasn’t available to help!!! That’s what haunts me, my dear friend 😢

@@JustJenReacts Funny you should say that - I once went for a job selling wheelchairs and didn't get it - despite decades of experience pushing the damn things! 🤦But I heard on the grapevine that the company has now gone into liquidation due to the pandemic. 😜

I can relate with him on that one too. Only it was my dad who wasn’t around. And when he was, we were getting high together...on all sorts of HARD Drugs 😔 but I am fine now. My dad died in 2019 and I found out by googling his name. Anymore I’m like “meh” it is what it is!

Sure thing!

If he did this video I’d be honored! It’s always nice to celebrate with someone else who battled that demon and won!!!! His baby girl will be just fine. I have a 17yr old and I speak with him about drugs all of the time, I have for years. He’s one of the best things I’ve ever done!!! He’s a true genius, and the sweetest, most handsome kid a parent could ever hope for!!! My boys do keep me going strong! I can relate to his concerns!!! I feel like he will raise that little girl right!!! Thanks for tuning in and giving me the kind words!

Thank you my dear!!!

Thank you!!! That means the world 🌍 to me!!! 🤗 Why is it your favorite? I would love to hear why! 💕 Jen

@@JustJenReacts well..... I too have been to jail, am a convicted felon, and recovering addict (5 years clean off opioids) so not only can I relate to the story, I can relate to the emotional reaction you had to it. On most of the others the only time they showed emotion was during the scene with his mother. I also interpret the story slightly different than some of the others. I think the 2 are just his different sides(blonde=addiction, dark=mental illness).... in the end he beat the addiction but continues to fight the mental issues

@@joshmoore4373 that’s an amazing story!!! Thank you for not only sharing, but for keeping up that fight!!! I think he hit it out of the ballpark with this one!!! It was like looking in a mirror!!! I come back to my video every so often, just to remind myself of how far I’ve come!!! I celebrated my 6th year yesterday!!! Kudos to you for real!!! Keep that shit up!!! 🤗

Isn’t it sad 😢 I wish I could bring them all to life again. It’s a tragedy really. I didn’t realize I made it and so many people haven’t. I guess I’m a 1%er 😔 I really tried to save addicts. They didn’t want the help 😢 I even tried by getting a CDCA license and still that was to no avail. I wish more people could see this and say they’ve had enough.

@@JustJenReacts the saddest thing is the loved ones and also the outsiders who the addicts actions reflect while the user does drugs or does everything illegal to get them. "I can do what ever i like, this is my body and my life". the ones who listen, usually listen people who has experience with things they are struggling with. So you part of that 1% play the most important role.

Oh wow 😢 that’s a story that won’t leave my thoughts for a while. I’m sorry 😔 I wish I could tell you that this is easy. It’s not. I changed everything I once knew as life. I hope you stay on the right path. Don’t let that cycle continue, not another day. Best wishes ❤️

@@JustJenReacts like Ronnie said, I am who I am. I've seen these things define people, and shape the person they are. I am so happy you pulled yourself out of this. Makes my heart warm, and the happy tears flow. 💖

Awesome job! If it works for you, keep doing it!!!!!

Worst drug ever.

Herion and opioids

@@JustJenReacts I never did heroin.. So this comment may come off as insensitive. I dont mean it to. I have always had the thought process that there are worst drugs out there than cigarettes/nicotine(heroin/meth, etc). But tobacco is the most pointless drug. Think about it. Even when a person first starts using tobacco. They may get light headed hitting a cigarette too quickly, but it doesnt do much more than increase your brains electronic reaponses by a little. Therefore there is no real high. It changes your brain just enough to make is so very difficult to live without it. Thats it. At least, and I'm not advocating anyone actually do these drugs, but they have a desirable affect. Alcohol gets you drunk. Marijuanna gets you high, to different degrees and types of high depending on strain; but a general consistent feeling. Methamphetamines get you geeked or sped up if you will. Acid lets you see weird stuff, perscription narcotics do their thing. Heroin obviously does something that i dont know because ive never done it, but I'm guessing a euphoric, not caring about anything else in life, high. Those drugs, as bad and awful as their side effects and damage to your daily life(i dont include marijuana in this category), they have a desired affect. Toacco only gives you the disired affect because of the addiction to them. There is no, hey lets smoke this cig or hit this vape to feel good. Its only to meet the addiction. So, tl,dr: Dont get addicted to nicotine. Tabacco is pointless and i wasted everyone's time that read this off-topic post.

I forgot to mention, congratulations on 6 yrs! That's awesome!

That just made me smile!!! Thank you!!!

Man alcohol can be one of the worst ones to get off of. I can only say this, in my professional opinion anyway, don’t go cold turkey. Choose a facility that has the proper meds that can help you with DT’s at the very least. I can’t say go to AA, bc I didn’t. But if you can afford to take a mini vaca and go the proper detox route, do it!!! I know how hard it is, believe me!!! Strength has to come from within!!! After the detox it’s pretty much pure willpower from there!!!! Best of luck to you! Please keep me posted! And even tho you have that beautiful boy, do it for you!!!!! Being selfish in recovery isn’t a bad thing!!!!!

I’ll be keeping you guys in my mind often. Thank you for sharing something so personal and deep. I hope that she gets the help she so desperately needs. That shit kills way too many people 😢

Thank you! We pride ourselves on realism!!!

Awww 😢 That’s a sad story. I’m so sorry that you’re caught in those crosshairs. I know all about being sober and having my loved one on drugs. It’s no fun dealing with all of that. Maybe one day he will wake up and realize that he’s just not hurting himself with that meth. HMU if you need anything ❤️ Jennifer

That’s right! Welcome!

Thank you!!! I hope I can help someone! Anyone!!!

🤗 thanks chad!

🤗 awww thank you for your kind words! You and your missus are family!! I’m proud to be able to say that!!!

Very true 😉 thank you 😊

Thank you! 🤗

Oh I’m so sorry. I hope that you will find the strength to deal with that loss soon. I gotta tell ya that when my grandma was in hospice and then when I had seen her die, that’s when I really went hard and numbing myself. I literally cried for 2 years straight. Every day. Every time I thought of her. Typing this out I’m tearing up. 2 years later she came to me in a dream and basically told me she was at peace. So that’s when I only cried on special occasions like her bday and holidays, and of course when I really missed her. Please know that I will never go back there. Not for anyone or anything in this world.

😊 thank you

You're an inspiration. You should check out/react to Ronnie/Falling in Reverse's "Chemical Prisoner". You might relate to that one also.

Thank you so much! I most definitely will! Consider this screenshot!!! Lol that’s my way of remembering “things to do next” 🤗

@@JustJenReacts Dude, seeing both you and Sonny react so emotionally to Ronnie's music has made my week. A lot of people who have experienced complex trauma, bpd or just were born with crazy and creative brains really resonate with, and understand, how Ronnie's brain works and the messages he's trying to tell. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to both of you for brightening my day. :-)

YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

Anytime 🙏

Brooooooo! 16 days is way better than none!!! You keep it up!!! You’re better than them substances!!!! I may not know you, but I am proud of you!!!!

And I started at day 1 and here I am!!! On 11/01 I’ll have them 6 years!!!!!!! Whoop!!!

@@JustJenReacts awesome. Had 8 years before. 1 day at a time!

You will get there again!!!! You’re right! Take it one day, even one minute at a time!!! You do got this!!!!

Sending you good, positive vibes. I pray your sis will get it right before it’s too late. You can always share my addiction videos with her as a little hint that living a sober, happy, and healthy lifestyle is absolutely possible. I was one of the worst addicts ever. And if I can change my life around, so can she! She just has to make the decision to! Let’s give her a little push, eh?! ❤️

🤗

Thank you!!!

Oh wow man thank you!!! I’m honored!!! I totally appreciate the honesty too!!

😊 thank you

YOU GOT THIS!!!!! 💪 if I could do it, so can you!!! Make sure you have a strong mind, my friend, and it will all come together soon!!! I wish you nothing but the best!!! Please make sure you do what’s best for you, whatever works for you, may not be what the standard is for the masses! You know your body better than anyone else!!!! I’ll keep you in my thoughts, and I’ll be constantly sending positive vibes your way!!!!

Just Jen thanks Jen I really appreciate it. My GP dropped me down from 240mg/day to 60mg/day in one go. I’ve been on that for about 8 weeks now and am dropping to 32/day but I’ve been pretty rough. I don’t have any friends around at the moment and it’s all on my partner at the moment so you and Sonny are keeping me sane at the moment. 🕊❤️

Thank you!!!

Atta girl!!! Music helps hold me together too! Especially when you can relate to a band like this one!!! I’m proud of you for sharing!!! That helps keep me sober too btw 😉 😘

Congrats!!!! Me too!! I absolutely Love life now!!!

Omg this gave me chills!!! Thank you for staying sober Donna!! You are worth more than that! You saved your life!!! I’m proud of you!!! 🤗 you ever need me, Pm me on fb JUST JEN from mentor Ohio.

I’ll keep your whole family in my thoughts. I wish you nothing but the best.

A few too many assholes that are wasting our oxygen!!! It’s okay! Karma got them! All of them are sitting in jail right now!!! HA!

@@JustJenReacts just like Tatiana says , your Judgement sign your own punishment ... they got what they deserved 👌🏻

You got this!!! Keep on trucking!!!

@@JustJenReacts thanks, you’re so kind :)

Yes my friend! Claim that shit!!! That’s what I’m talking about!!! You got this!!! But be safe about it. Don’t cold-turkey quit. Do it the safest way, and contact your doc, or a detox center. Please keep me posted!!!

🤗

Awww 🥰 I appreciate people like you seeing this and sticking around! It’s great to see someone that experienced the same thing as I did!!! Thank you for your kinds words and support!!! 💕

congrats on your anniversary!!!! Merry Christmas!

@@JustJenReacts Thank you, congrats on your own whenever it is, Merry Christmas! And have a wonderful New Year!

And music can’t land you in prison, or worse!!! Thank you so much 😊

Congrats! Mine is 11/01/2014 and I’ll never forget that day for as long as I’m alive.

I’m really grateful for your story. I’m also grateful you found your way outta the abyss of drugs. And I’m mostly grateful for you not succeeding in any of your attempts. Stay safe 🤗

Yay! Thank you!! 😘

❤️ thank you!!!!!

Thank you for all of that amazing info, and your honesty. A Death of a loved one can take us to a very dark place. That’s when I started really using pain meds. When my grandma died. I know I need to check out more FIR, I was waiting for my friend Jason to join me, but he is really busy. I’ll be sure to check that song out too. Much love and respect ✊🏼 Jen

Thank you! I get it all. It was a terrible affliction. We got this tho! And you didn’t dampen the mood at all my friend!!! 🤗

Lolololol exactly why I wasn’t hip to it at all either!

@@JustJenReacts It was rough listening to all that religion being forced down my throat! LOL

That’s right! You got this!!!
