What a Wookie.

Huge shout-out. Not cutting Jay off was the kind of thing a true friend does. Super cool

I mean....Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back doesn't work without Jay...in fact, none of the Kevin Smith movies starring Jay would work sans Jay. Glad he's gotten well though. Just not sure if Kevin Smith was being a good friend or thinking about his career.

@@simonbelmont5801 The wookie

Kevin Smith is a gift to this world. Hands down best dude.

I agree man he played a huge part, but as a former addict the only person that could save Jason was himself, and thank god he was able to do it.

@@KingJerbear EXACTLY thank you.

Heman was butchered woke bullshit.

Jason's journey to sobriety is what triggered mine. 10 years from heroin this may! I could not be more grateful that Jay had someone like Kevin in his life and that they were willing to openly talk about it, it was amazing to see someone fighting their demons have the unconditional and unwavering love of a friend to get them through x

@@maykstuff CONGRATULATIONS buddy. Be very proud, but still be aware. Just lost another friend who had 6 years clean and it only took one mistake. Not taking away from your massive accomplishment, just keep doing your thing. ✌️🤞

Same here. Jason especially. Reading Kevin Smiths blogs about trying to help him is what really changed shit for me. Took hours to get thru them all and a lot of tears were shed but for whatever reason it just made me look at shit in a way I never had before. I quit that week after 20+ years of heavy use. I rarely mention it nowadays (to the point where I genuinely don't know what exact year that was....at least 15 years now) Kevin seriously saved me as much as he did Jason. Plus he gave me the bonus lesson on what a fuckin real friend should be. Fan of that dude for life.

Very well said! I could see his sadness about that Thanksgiving he showed up to Kevin’s door, to be turned away, I’m so glad he’s alive and able to share his experience.

I met him at an event for the jay and silent Bob reboot. Very humble guy

@@jarredah the humbleness is what I see

Legends

I think you nailed it and that is why people love Mewes and his Jay character...

What did Kevin smith do?

@@Hellseventeen did you even watch the clip? Kevin is literally the reason Mews was able to get the help he needed

Kevin also saved stan lee

@@TheFallofTheEleventh I meant what did Kevin smith do to get on that guys “nerves as a personality”

@@Hellseventeen he is very outspoken on sexism and white peoples negative influence on comic books. You know the modern "self proclaimed male feminist" types.

Good shit keep it up. Prayers

You got this.

Stay strong brother

Hang in there, and no matter what DONT USE!!!!

Stay strong 💪

You speak truth there mate. Ive seen it take so many people from all different walks of life. I've been in and out of addiction so much. It sucks man, I slipped up recently, just back clean now, but only a week behind me right now. I am determined though, want a better life, not to sink back into the depths of it where life is ruled only by drugs.

"it" doesn't take anything away you do, I'm in sober living in Detroit now, been here since Jan 24th last year, been sober a year now, I've had 3 roommates die of overdose, last guy just last Saturday, we live across from a gas station where they sell drugs BEHIND the glass, yes the cashier sells everything, a van pulls up every few hours and re ups the sellers, it's nuts, but my roommate was being a dick to the seller, going in every 20 min and talking crap so the dealer gave him a hot pack, hot pack being a pack of heroin or crack with fyntenal, I have him 2 doses of narcan and it didn't do anything. Rent here is 250 and it's a regular apt...I get the living room and kitchen, but I'm a truck driver with 2 million safe miles and been making 26 bucks an hour, 7 days a week most weeks and I get double time 52 bucks an hour Sundays, I've saved up 53 grand so far, next week I'm buying a stealth camper van and moving to where I work,,,,it's sad to see ppl die from od but I gotta admit I have no sympathy, I even warned the last 2 guys they sell fyntenal laced drugs but they still buy it,,,they think after being sober a few months they can handle the same amount they used to

@@breakingames7772 Respect to you for getting clean! I know you'll stick with it. You made a good point though in your last sentence. A lot of people OD because they quit for a while and then when the relapse then take the same dose that they used to take because they don't realise that their body had been building up a resistance to the drugs. Back when i was smoking weed every day i used to put about a gram in each joint. And while that wouldn't kill me now it fuck me up and i doubt i'd be able to finish it! But yeah, that was a very good point that you made about doses. And from one former addict to another - i wish you all the best and i'm glad you're clean now.

That's a dangerous mentality honestly. There are lots of functional addicts, and to say things like that will make functional addicts, whose lives haven't been ruined but also isn't what it should be, think that they aren't addicted.

@@Nathan-dt2tu Ya, but no. Functional as in 75% of your money goes to dope? Functional as in your a slave to a drug in that what cones first, no matter what, is not getting sick? Functional as in functioning for nearly two decades until you aren't? I promise you that there is no functioning opiate addict.

Same man. I was way too young to watch their movies but I did anyway. It feels great to know Kevin stuck by him for so long.

@S a r a h 🖤 bruh seriously. You have to promote you basicly non physical prostitution on a video about some one suffing with addiction. If your not already ashamed of your self you should be now. Thats pathetic

@@thatdoomguy1379 Snooch to the nooch!

Previous heroine addict here and I had a very similar story with my niece and brother, She was getting older and I didn’t want to be that piece of shit uncle, it played a huge part in me getting clean.

You mean Jason?

@@screamdreamer9085 i think more people know him as jay so i guess thats why ue said jay.

Jay and silent bob?

Hetero life mate

Great job!

Congratulations 👏 keep living your best life

Congrats! Good on you👏🏾

@@Afrimusican Thank You so much!!

2 yrs sober feb 18 me

At least you took them "as prescribed" at least in an hourly sense.

If you’re actually waiting until the prescribed time, and not taking them continuously until they’re gone, you aren’t there yet.

@@Acemechanicalservices For a while...it got to the point where I was diggin in our dumpster to find used fentynal patches to eat the gel.

Daaaang....my drug of choice was snorting Roxy's and from the second I would finish snorting one...I knew I had 2 hours and 45 min before I would start coming down. I have been off the opiates now for almost 9 years. Kicking them sucked big nasty donkey dicks. It was the worst. I'm so proud of Mr. Mewes and his 11+ years of sobriety!!!

Weird flex...but ok

Keep going Rachel, you’ve got this.

Hang in there im also fighting an alcohol addiction.

I'm am praying for you Rachel.

Alcohol is evil! That is why it is called spirits! Best of luck to you in your recovery!

I'm addicted to food, but no one seems to care about my addition, I'm just "lazy and fat" but I can definitely relate to addition, you do something because it makes you feel good. It's hard to break a cycle like that, but it sucks when you have to eat or you'll die. I wish everyone would make an effort to understand the struggle that addition is. It takes love and compassion to help people get out of their funk.

Just For Today!

AHAHA I SERIOUSLY GOT MY REPLY REMOVED LIL

@@thatdoomguy1379 what was your reply?

I want to go on Steve o podcast

He's a fuckin jabroni

So many people would've cut him off and left him behind when the movies started blowing up. Kevin is a real one.

A real Jabroni.

Often times there are many heart breaking things you must confront in order to deal with addiction. It's multitudes of heart breaking moments like this that eventually make people want to change. Emotional pain will trump all other forms of pain, the pain of physical addiction, the pain of mental need. Breaking the heart of someone you love is often a catalyst for this pain and change.

My family has worked in recovery for many years, and I've heard many years of gut wrenching stories similar to stuff like this. It's usually being such a disappointment or let down to friends and family that they often describe feeling less than human. It sucks but people really must hit rock bottom in order to want to move up.

another award for a junkie finally being honest instead of screwing over everyone like their whole life. congrats

I'll be honest, he does look just a little high during this interview. His pupils weren't pinpoints, but he scratched his face a bit, rambling on a bit, scratching his legs, his voice has that like undertone to it... Maybe he is on like a partial opiate for maintenance for years or something and is doing great on it. Or, maybe he's been high for so long, some of these tendencies have become more permanent! I really hope he wasn't on something else.

@@aarongottfried5595 NOT REALLY but he didn't have to answer or be that open and honest & a SHIT TON of people who have money or a bit of fame have been or currently are using different things. I LIKED how open he was because I LIKE PEOPLE WHO TELL THE TRUTH and dont bullshit!!! And it is important for people attempting or going thru recovery to see people who have successfully gone thru it so they dont feel like fuck it it's too late now or people around them just give up completely as well THAT WAS MY POINT!! I cannot stand people who are just like oh well there a junkie so there not even a person anymore and shouldn't even have an opportunity to change or even live cause fucking junkie this or that & some junkies are not lying backstabbing people at all so get the fuck outta here with that!!!

@@freeman4real yes really given the reaponse. Addicts are the epitome of bullshit. And hes not sober

@@aarongottfried5595 that is your opinion DOESN'T MAKE IT FACT you can have your opinion because they are like assholes everybody has one

Mad respect homie keep on doing great!

My little brother is a heroin addict as well and battles with it. Been in and out of prison for years of his life. It breaks the family's heart. I wish you the best man and hope you remain strong for yourself and your loved ones.

@@PPsqueezer I get a injection once a month that blocks opiates meaning that heroin will not work and it's called BUVIDAL, try and find out if it's available where you are and see if you can get him on it, it's a life changer. I'm sorry to hear that you and the family are suffering, I hope that you can find the way to help him out the cycle of addiction, much love from Wales UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️👍

You don't remember it for very long!!!!

It's easy to forget though! The very last time I got clean and I've stayed clean since I actually documented it on my phone with videos and it's helped because shit dude I'd done the same thing dozens of times before it finally stuck this time because I'd get better and think about using and even knowing all that pain id convince myself it wasn't that bad and then fall right back into the shit.

Too bad Kevin lost his soul.

@Newsbender last one I enjoyed was Zack and Miry

Just what I was thinking. These guys are only like 4 or 5 years older than I am, but I still looked up to them when I was a kid watching their stuff. Mallrats was so big with my friend group that I remember everyone changing their personalities to try and act like those characters. I'm glad both guys are doing OK. One from Cali, the other from Jersey, but they're both cut from the same cloth and I'm so glad that they both got out alive!

It's a shame. Here in west palm beach some were shut down, reopened and never grew back. Many are doing just fine though

@@needmetal3221 yeah.. 6 addicts that I was close to in the past year are no longer with us.. it's so important we stay connected.. keep on keepin on brother.. no addict seeking recovery need die from the disease of addiction

Prohibition continues to create more and more dangerous alternatives. Crazy now. Oxy was bad but fent is completely different since it's almost impossible to accurately gauge a dose.

Lol thank u for sharing. I hated those meetings 🤣

@@dmo848 smoke one for me

52 when you started?!? You must’ve been through some stuff to start using that late?!?

@@independent2883 I was a negative nancy my entire life, then after my mom died, i didn’t grieve. I got a new apartment fell in love with an addict...you know how that story goes, my beautiful apartment turned into the black hole of active addiction...I’m alive and finally not negative, I get the looks of disbelief when ppl find out I’m 56 and started using at 52 lol 😂 I was definitely an “immature naive” adult 😂 oh yeah, trauma good ole trauma, too

@@stephaniepapaleo521 no I don't know how it goes...who falls in love with an crack addict?

@@chadsmith5933 Believe it or not, there are crack addicts who use on weekends thinking they are fine, doctors, lawyers...etc ( I “partied” with an attorney who ended up disbarred but he was still respected in the community) I fell in love with a guy that hid his opiate addiction from me for 3 months (he was a personal trainer) 😂 before I found out, by then he had moved in and I was so desperate to be with him that I tried to “fit in” by using crack with him, after one week of using crack I knew I was an addict but since I held a job I could hide it from my family for about a year, after that I wanted crack and pushed everyone away. Luckily I got into treatment and now I look back on that pathetic, selfish person I used to be.

@@stephaniepapaleo521 lmao the ego on people thinking they won't get addicted....I'm sorry you went through that I have seen my mom and many friends fall to it I will never touch that hot garbage

Jay and silent Steve..... super dad joke sorry couldn't resist myself

@@chucknorris277 :rimshot:

I'm right with ya...day 1

I didnt recognize him

I wish I could transfer the way I would feel to my mom and dad when I would be sick not having a shot of heroin just so they could know the complete agony I was in while dope sick or withdrawing they would just think I was saying I was sick and couldn't function was all just a ploy to get them to feel bad and give me a 20 to go cop and get well. But my mom was more sympathetic cuz she would see that I wasn't making up what I was going through when I would be throwing up shaking and drenched in sweat looking like I was gonna die but that would be like on day 2 without any opiates and it would be a 21 period before I would start feeling normal and could get up and walk around

Right

Stop enabling them. Kick them out and cut them off.

Yes :)

Same. I hate what I'm doing to myself but don't stop.

You can do it.Im praying for you.

why don't you try going for just one day, and do that everyday.

I started with 1 day at a time man I never think of a long-term goal... I'm at 3 years now just one day at a time and keep moving forward

Cum is bad for the vocal chords
