Ps I tried to stress this as many times as I could in the video, but this video is about what MY rehab was really like when it comes to the visual part. The rest is more generalized and something that you’ll find in all rehabs. I try to stress that even if you don’t go to a rehab like mine, and you do go to one that is more like a hospital, that there’s SO much you can gain from it. Even the “worst” rehabs will at least help you learn about your illness and get you sober for 30 days. That’s the whole point. No, they won’t all have high-ropes courses and on campus stores, that’s not the point. But I DID wanna share my personal rehab too so more people knew their name and could see what they could offer. Insurance covered my stay and plenty of people who were there weren’t at all anywhere near wealthy, I’d say a majority of people weren’t anywhere near wealthy whatsoever that were there, they just had insurance that covered it. So this is a nicer rehab but isn’t impossible to get into unless you have money, and also even the less-nice rehabs can be just as beneficial. I hope that point was not overlooked just because of my personal rehab being on the nicer side. Which is why the part of the video explaining how it looked was only such a small portion. I did speak with my parents tho and they said this was a rehab that widely accepted many insurance policies that were on the lower average side, which is what countless patients shared with me while they were there (that they weren’t doing well financially in the slightest). But anyways, this is more about a realistic look into the mental state of a person in rehab and how to get the most out of it, not about how “all rehabs will look”. Just wanted to explain that before it got confused by anyone who doesn’t watch all the way through!! ❤️

Your mother saved your life. She did what was best for you, taking your money and phone to prevent you from relapsing and now you're doing so much better, so so proud and happy for you. Bless you for sharing your story with those who are struggling

every time you talk about your past relationship I tear up. I’m so happy you’ve moved on from him and sobered up. I’m so incredibly proud of you for realizing your worth.

“This is me without the animals” *cat in the background*

I commented on your Instagram being scared to go to rehab, but you told me how it could be good for me and it changed my life. Thank you.

Taylor: “Did I get sent to the ranch?” Doctors: ??? I DIED

I actually met my husband in rehab. We were just really good friends at first but it grew into more after rehab. We were in a 90 day place. We got clean together and that keeps us clean together. He’s my best friend and the love of my life. I wouldn’t change it for anything.

My mom was an addict, sadly she’s no longer here. These videos help me understand her so much better

I love you so much, thank you for your transparency and sharing your story

U should do a tattoo explanation I love them also love u I’m so proud of u

You being 92 days sober literally makes my heart melt. I’m so happy for you and your progress! So glad you’re being transparent and honest about your experience

I didn't think I would sit though the whole video, but I did.. and I want you to know that it helped me. I don't have an addiction to a drug, but it's an addiction nevertheless. This video has given me the courage to get rid of a crutch I gave myself in the mits of self defeat, and the motivation to strive for my own 90 days of being clean. Thank you for sharing your story!

My father went to a rehab in pa that wasn’t the best and the prostitute that he was dating kept smuggling him in heroin. Needless to say, he never sobered up and I don’t have a dad. I wish he had the strength to do what you did Taylor, I’m so proud of you

I’m so glad you’re way more open about your experience with this :) you’re helping a lot of people

Yes more storytimes But thank goodness you're good now

I'm so glad to hear someone talk about PAWS! I have 3 years clean from heroin and in the first year PAWS hit so hard and at the time I didn't know what it was.

"You get so much time back than you have to give for rehab"- that's a powerful statement

I love how you wear your chips around your neck. That seems so motivational and it’s so brave to show that to the world

*CAN’T BELIEVE TAYLOR IS A FELLOW 9 YEAR OLD!!!*

I love and admire you so much. I have been debating going to rehab for ages, and now I think I'm finally gonna go. Thank you

The thing she said about rejection I feel so strongly. I’ve lost so many friendships due to this and basically sabotaged my chance to go to the university I wanted bc I was convinced I wasn’t gonna get accepted and didn’t send in an application at all bc I’d rather ruin the chance on my own than to be rejected. So now I’m in community college which isn’t bad and I really like it so yeah

I hope you realize you’re still actually in early recovery. It’s great how far you have come, but please understand there are still hurdles you (and most other people) will come to, especially before a year.

i love you girlie. i’m deeply grateful for you and the fact that you’ve been so open about your story. i can’t tell you how much it helps to see someone talking about these issues in a realistic, genuine, no sugar coating kind of way. i’m proud of how you’ve used your channel to perpetuate change and break down stigma when it comes to these topics. thank you taylor for being so honest and open. it helps to know i’m not alone in this.

Every time I hear you talk about sobriety I feel overwhelmed with happiness. I'm so proud of you as a person for just trying, and for doing your best now. I love hearing you talk about your sobriety. I'm so happy for you :')

I'm so incredibly happy for you and your recovery. After losing my best friend to an overdose, it brings me peace seeing others get the help they need to live a long sober life. Keep on keeping on Tayor, you're doing amazing.

I know exactly what you went through, I'm so glad you turned your life around. Talking about your experiences is what really helped me. I am so proud of you.

I love hearing your story! It’s crazy how much you’ve had to overcome, and still need to overcome. Being so raw with your audience could really save somebody’s life. I’m so damn proud of you!!

I admire you SO MUCH not only for tackling your issues and working toward getting better but also for being so open and honest about it and choosing to share your story to help others. Give yourself a pat on the back if you read this. You deserve it.

Your experience, strength and hope is so valuable. I want to thank you for spreading the word and sharing openly about the disease and treatment! Thank you! 💕

I have never struggled with drugs however I work in a pharmacy and have seen many people get addicted. You and Jessica Kent have amazing stories. So proud of both of you girls ❤️ keep going Taylor you got this 💪🏼

You are such a sweetheart. You never seem to get upset when people challenge you in any way. You explain yourself eloquently and move on. Thank you for sharing your experiences with addiction. How quickly yours spiraled is a terrifying testament that it can happen to anyone.

It’s simply because you’re so open and comfortable with talking about your addiction that makes your viewers cry along. You’re brutally honest and I respect that so very, very much. Taylor you’ve gotten so far, and I AM sure there’s over a million people falling in love with you throughout this whole journey. Real nice cats too btw❤️❤️

Your use of the word "Yuck" is so real. My parents suffered with addiction and my dad died from it and my mom is still dealing with it. Unfortunately, my little sister also had some problems but then a few years older than you decided she was finally ready for rehab and she did 60 days. She still does the program and knows she has a problem. I agree so much with your words and I appreciate you using your platform to shout out to al-anon and your rehab journey in general. My family has dealt with the death of a son/dad/brother and are dealing with a sister/niece/daughter/grand daughter in recovery and it is a hugely helpful organization. Hug your mom for me, I know what an emotional stress it is caring for someone with addiction. And a HUGE hug to you for taking care of yourself and knowing you deserve a better life and taking the steps to take care of yourself. You are strong Taylor and you can do it

You've got so much confidence back, its really cool to see :)

i’m so proud of you for being brave enough to open up about this bc i know it will help so many people ❤️

I love how this video is styled & I can really see all the effort you put in to create this video for people who are struggling, or are worried about rehab. ❤️ you’re such a kind soul and I am so glad you are doing so much better

I'm 532 days sober and it may sound like alot of time but it's a struggle. It's something I think about everyday. It's great having you use your platform to share your experiences and shed some light on the subject. It helps me more than you know so thank you ❤️❤️

36:00 - 37:40 just absolutely broke my heart, I was about to cry with you... Your story is just so pure and touching and the way you're telling it is so honest and relatable that I am truly convinced I could sit here and listen to you go on for hours and hours. You're an amazing girl and I wish you strength and happiness throughout your journey called sobriety. Sending love from Germany.

i can’t express how proud and happy i am for you. the fact that you’re speaking out about your addiction and recovery is so brave. whenever you say that you’re sober i get so happy for you.

Just celebrated 13 months. It works, and you’re a miracle. So happy to see one of my idols getting clean and sharing the message of recovery 💗

Woke up watched this first and I cant help but think about a friend who overdosed sadly, but always promised to go to rehab eventually. Im so happy to see you thriving and the end of your video really hit me in my feels. Youre so strong and sweet and wish you nothing but the best ♥️

Hey queen, you’ve done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly, I would say I’m surprised but I know who you are, I’ve seen it up close and personal-

You’re honestly amazing. The way you’re speaking out is so so important. Well done

We're so proud of you! Thank you for sharing your story, you're helping to break down the stigma around these issues and that's so important 💕

I came across your story by accident last night, I am not addicted to drugs. I am however affected by severe depression and PTSD and have been for several years, your story ticked so many boxes for me, I could see myself in so many of your anecdotes. I hope you continue live a full happy life.

You’re helping so many people Taylor and we’re all so proud of you❤️

I am so so proud of how far you've come. I've never personally been a addict, but honestly I think its only because I grew up watching everyone around me be in active addiction. I have a lot of negative feelings towards addicts because of how I was raised and how often I was disappointed by their empty promises - but there is nothing I respect more then an addict actively trying and fighting to get better. You're life is worth it. You are worth it. Sobriety is worth it. You are bigger then your addiction and I am so happy for how far you've come. Keep up the great work babe, you've got this.

Thank you for sharing your personal life it’s honestly not an easy subject for anyone to bring up and talk about with strangers. Your an amazingly strong person for not only getting over your addiction (thank you for doing that by the way may not really know you in person but enjoy your videos) but you share it to the world no matter what anyone opinions are and I find that so brave! Thanks for being you!!

Thank you so so much for sharing you’re story, it’s so powerful and important and it’s hard to find people talking about addiction in such a real way. Also thank you because you’re video about your addiction helped me completely stop contacting my ex. He’s toxic and abusive and hearing your story with your ex there were so so many parallels and I felt validated, that other people have gone through this and it’s not okay. Thank you so so much for sharing we’re all here supporting you!

It's 6 in the morning and I've been up all night trying to get my youngest cat to eat. Tired as hell after a day at the vet but hey, Taylor just uploaded a new video and you're damn sure me and my cats are gonna watch it all and cry happy tears

I'm so grateful for the fact that people on the internet are so open about things like this. Any educational movies or stuff like that you get at school are literally funny to watch and I just sat here for 2 hours listening to you and I feel like I learned so much. You just showed so many people the real experience and the real gains from getting sober. Personally this is the 1st time I heard that you can actually get addicted after one try and that made me never want to try. I know how stupid this sounds but I talked with my best friend about trying drugs once just to feel it and now I know I will never willingly do this. Thank you, you might have just saved my life.

People that were broken are beautiful. I am so very supportive of you. Kudos to you and for your next journey, Taylor. As much love as I am capable of sending is going your way!

My brother is a drug addict. I know all about how addiction can affect a person and other people. Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s soooo important for people to understand. You are amazing. I love you. ♥️

I spent my entire life forgiving and trying to understand my fathers addiction. I fought for him and begged for chances for him with the rest of my family no matter how low he sank or how hurt i got each time the cycle started all over again. Hearing you story has helped me a lot with understanding the feelings of the person with the addiction, and although after something beyond even my forgiveness i have chosen to cut him out of my life like the rest of my family and friends have been begging me to do since i was a child. I still feel that gaining more of an understanding about addiction and its nature is valuable to me in a way i'm not even sure how to word. Thankyou Taylor.

I’m so glad you’re sharing all of this! Addiction has affected my life in so many ways even though I’m not an addict. Something I learned from the family workshop through my dad’s rehab is that addiction is a family disease, meaning that one person is the addict and the rest of the people around them start to have symptoms from the addiction. I felt so much better being in that room with others with a family member that is an addict and hearing how everyone had the same symptoms as me and my family. I highly recommend anyone who has been affected by addiction to go to a support group, because you will feel so free and realize that you aren’t crazy.

This video made me cry even though I don't even know anybody that is addicted. It's just so nice to see you open up about everything and slowly get better after these past two years in which I as a viewer could only guess what made you seem "off" sometimes. I never would have guessed you were an addict. But with your videos now and you explaining everything I think I start seeing and understanding what makes people become addicted. I hope you find strength always when you are thinking about relapsing and keep on working on it.

Thank you for sharing love!! I've been sober from H since 8-11-17!! Stay strong ❤️ ❤️❤️

I relate to this so much. I'm a recovering heroin addict as well and I dealt with so many of the same things in rehab. The men all my life, the food in early sobriety, fear of rejection. My ex that I used with who was so difficult to let go of. Going through that trauma with someone creates an unexplicable bond. Letting go of him was one of the hardest things that I've ever done. We're all so similar and in recovery it's really comforting. Thank you for your story

Taylor, Im so utterly proud of you talking about this. Your true self is shining through and its so wonderful to see! Please stay strong and know YOU are not alone too.

I’m so glad you talk about you’re drug addiction. Some people aren’t open about it like you are, but I love watching these videos My dad was an addict and sadly passed away from it. I have a lot of addicts in my family as well. Thanks for the video Taylor, much love too you! 💜

This is stronger than what local education have been trying to do for decades to "stop drugs" Thank you

Early party but you’ve done a fantastic job of staying clean and sober and I am so proud of you 🥰

You going through this has helped me so much. My fiancé is an recovering alcoholic, 30 days sober on the 10! So proud. Thank you for being open about this, it does help people.

Your selflessness is impressive, You're exposing so much of your life just to help people that are in a similar situation, I respect you so much for this, You're helping so many people.

Dude, it’s insane how much I relate to you even though I’ve never done drugs. Like your past abuse and addition to men and the toxic relationship, like I’ve said everything you’ve said about your experiences with that. So glad you’re sharing your story 😸

Excited to see all of the videos to come 😍 proud of you for working hard to stay sober!

so proud of you and thank you for using your platform to tell your story, so many young people are turning to drugs constantly and you can help save someone!

Honestly, you are so strong and im so proud of you for not only getting out of your abusive relationship but also managing to stay sober!! Its really good to see you doing so much better now.

Honestly so proud of you. Cheese would be proud too. 🧀❤

I love u and support u so much. I've spent a long amount of time in multiple rehabs and it was a huge struggle. I remember laying in the rehab bed praying for my heroin withdraw to stop. Or just praying something would kill me. It gets better, i promise. Stay strong and give it some time.💕

you are so amazing and incredibly strong! i didn’t think that i would be able to sit through this entire video but i did and felt every emotion through it all. you have officially opened my eyes in the topic of drug addiction and getting help. love you! keep it up♥️

So proud of you, it’s so nice to see the real you. Thank you for bringing this inspiring girl back to us. Love you so relatable

I'm so proud of you! I'm sure you sharing your experiences with rehab will help many people. You can do this, you are worthy and enough, don't let anyone dim your light again dear

Would love to see more videos on this channel! Cant get enough of your content. I love you so much! You inspired me to love animals and I even have reptiles and fish of my own because of you. Animals have saved me and changed my life so much and I’m so thankful for how my life has changed because of you! ❤️

Taylor I am SO fucking proud of you. You did it. You’re doing it. I appreciate your honestly about your personal experience, I think that will help a lot of people. No matter what happens, I hope you’re always able to hold on to the feelings sobriety gives you. It’s worth it all. You got this.

You sound like such a bright, strong adult woman. I'm so proud of, and happy for you. 😭

This video is amazing and has helped me more than you can ever imagine. I'm struggling and I needed to hear your story. I'm happy you're doing well baby. You have such a beautiful energy if you manage to stay clean you will inevitably flourish. I wish you best. We have so much in common. Please dont talk to your ex. You're sobriety depends on it 💕

I love your story times. I don’t personally know about drug addiction but I know several people who went through it. I’m proud of you for getting better

I think your so brave for getting better!! It’s so hard for me to hear all of this because the music that your ex was a part of helped me get out of and through an abusive relationship. It’s a sick irony for me and I feel so sorry that you had to live through something too many people have.

I love this so much. A very close relative of mine is a recovering heroin addict. She is my best friend, and I'm always so scared for her. I love you Taylor. I always try to get her to watch you >w

Thank you so much. I can’t wait to listen. You are so strong

Thank you for posting this. The more you talk about your addiction, the closer I feel to my sobriety. Today is day one for me finally.

TAYLOR. I just want you to know that your story is really helping me with what im going through right now. Youve given me courage and i am SO very thankful for you ❤️❤️❤️

Between pills and self harm, I am still shocked to this day that I am still alive, and I have been sober for nearly 5 years. I am so very proud of you, Taylor. I wish you a lifetime of sobriety❤️

and kitty snoozing in the background :)

Taylor, thanks so much for making this. I've left rehab before graduating 3 times, now... but I'm still not giving up. This video, and you, have made me feel less alone. Much love. One day, sometimes just one hour, one minute, at a time.

I personally have not struggled with addiction, but i lost both my parents due to it at the age of 17. my sister still continues to struggle with it. no one truly understands the disease unless theyve been affected by it personally. ive watched you for years now. i am so proud of you for fighting & continuing to fight it.

I feel like rehab is similar to private mental health hospitals. Admitting there is something not right, and then choosing to get help; life will get better.

Thank you for opening up❤️my sister died of an overdose and I miss her. She went to rehab but her insurance wouldn't cover it. She got out and went back to her ways. She died about 3 months later

Can’t even imagine how much better you must be feeling now...Every day has its challenges, but each day sober is a treasure and another step in the right direction. You’re such a beautiful soul, we all love you and wish the absolute best for you during your recovery ❤️ Keep staying strong, you got this ✊

I really hope you continue to heal and thrive. You seem to be very smart and self aware and I love to see these successful recovery stories! You go girl!

I’M PROUD OF YOU! YOU’RE AMAZING AND STRONG. YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS YOU!! SENDING YOU LOTS OF LOVE ❤️

I own a jewelry store and would like to send you a pendant and a letter. Is there a fan mail address that you have?

Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience, and not just what happened but how you were dealing with it the whole time. I haven't struggled with addiction myself but I want to have an open mind and heart toward people who do, instead of just dismissing them or seeing them as messed up. Learning about your journey has been really eye opening.

Your mother is incredible. That must have been so hard for her. So. Proud of you for coming this far in your recovery. Thank you for sharing.

First comment!! So stoked for this!! So proud of you!

Thank you for being honest, vulnerable and transparent about your journey. We stan with you Taylor and are so happy you’re back. Sending lots of love - have a super duper weekend

I’m so happy you’ve been strong through this. You got this girl ❤️

Thank you for making me want to become sober. You’re amazing, and I hope you know how much people you are helping by sharing your story. I’m so proud of how far you have come. I love you and I could never thank you enough for helping me just with your videos.

It's 6am and I was just about to go to bed but now I've gotta watch this, god damn it Taylor :p For realsies though, I'm really glad you're doing this, for yourself and for us and I'm so fucking proud of you 🖤 ...Now to try glue my eyes open so I don't fall asleep and can watch all of this.
