I have been struggling with addiction since 2017 and I could never string together more than 90 days..... BUT im celebrating 8 months clean on the 18th of August!! Its amazing what the Lord can do when you trust in him and work your program!! ✝️ Congratulations to your sister!! I pray she continues down the right path and that her legal situation is worked out the way God intends! It is not easy to stay sober but id rather do the work than be back in the misery of my addiction EVER again. P.S. IM SO GLAD YOU TALKED ABOUT ADDICTION. You are helping the stigma around addiction. You are Lauralee and no one would have ever guessed that addiction affected you and your family! Your sister was RIGHT when she said its a DISEASE. We don't choose to be addicts but we can choose to get sober and help others who are struggling!!!! ❤❤

[@mememe217]

You go girl ❤️

[@Maggie071211]

Laura, As a mental health counselor at an addiction outpatient and an ACOA (adult child of an alcoholic or addict) thank you for using your platform to talk about addiction, recovery and being a supportive family member... keep moving forward and keep the conversation going

[@annabelllynette6139]

“She’s the light of our lives”🥺🥺🥺 I cried. This is such a beautiful thing

[@itsmepaulad7102]

You are a wonderful aunt to take care of your niece.

[@kyleeswain7671]

My mom is 4 years clean and was in jail during my pregnancy. The hardest thing we both had to deal with because it was always us against the world. Shes now an amazing grandma that lives with us and helps with my now 4 year old daughter. She getting emotional all the time thinking of what she did and how shes gotten better. Love will overcome!

[@hmmmmm4768]

Not everyone may be a fan of Laura lee, but this is a very selfless thing to do. Prayers your family finds peace of mind!

[@m_ayyraa]

Tyler's face lights up when he talks about Eryn omggg 😍 Eryn is so lucky to have these two in her life ❤

[@katia_g213]

Oh yeah, he is 100% Dad, and Laura is 100% Aunt-Mom

[@hmorris617]

My mother has been clean for 25 years. Thank you for being so honest

[@fibromyalgiakim6014]

That's beautiful!

[@trishnenes]

Laura Lee. This was everything. I have a very similar family story. I have mad love for you and your family. Just another reason I adore you. Thank you for sharing. It helps those of us who are impacted by addition and abuse not feel alone in this world. ❤

[@chelseateoni2242]

This just shows that you never know what people are going through, we all really need to be kinder to each other

[@elisabethflorio5719]

I totally agree

[@alexandrahazen]

Chelsea Teoni literally. Everyone was dragging Laura through the mud while she was doing this.

[@Noname30255]

This comment is it!!

[@TT-ik3zq]

[@gulletteryn]

i've gained a whole new level of respect for u... this is such a good thing to share to show how common it is and how much it effects people. my name is also Eryn with a y :) and I also had to go live with my aunt n uncle as a teen because of my mom's addiction, and mental illness, not to mention her $ issues. I suffered from addiction issues myself when I was young. it's a real thing and I praise u for taking her in n offering her a good life. u r changing her life forever. 🖤🖤

[@Truther1903]

I love Laura’s relationship omg they both seem so mature and healthy and the perfect example of what a relationship should be :)

[@abbigailnihei3794]

This is a big comeback for you. Thank you for letting you’re platform and personal life possibly help someone else’s life. I grew up around addiction and can heavily relate to you.

[@Justpeachy823]

Just watched your recent video with Eryn leaving for college… went back to rewatch this. You guys are a beautiful family and Lara, you’re such an example of how someone can overcome their circumstances and choose a beautiful path. I have so much respect for you and Ty. You guys did that and that’s beautiful💖

[@LissyHTX]

[@singernotknown1992]

My mom (or biological aunt) took me and my brother in when I was born for the same reason. This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@SoHipster143]

Now THIS video needs to be trending... things that actually matter? I love this video and I love that Eryn now has a loving home environment to help her through the hardness of being a teenager 💖

[@Jessica-gt8id]

I’m so glad you allowed your sister to speak her truth and share her story. Soooo many parents/kids can relate to your families story 💖

[@taylorbelknap7110]

I'm 6 years clean from heroin. This video made me so emotional. I have a new respect for you Laura, truly.♥️

[@arlinda6654]

Congrats Tay Bee keep strong. This video made me emotional too!

[@mollycairns868]

YOU GOT THIS!! I will have 8 years of heroin in November. Keep seeing I know you got this.

[@KSUBSBY-xd4bc]

R.E.S.P.E.C.T never really liked her but this is another level of respect

[@lalaluv.08]

I agree

[@MichaelSvengali]

This is the realest video ever put out by a beauty Influencer. This proves Laura is the real mvp. Alcoholism is very real and you dont have any idea the damage it causes to family. I love you Laura.

[@JM-rq1ei]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve never commented on a video before, but I’m an ER nurse and I see so many parents and children stuck in the cycle because of lack of support, and it’s amazing that you’re able to do that for your sister and niece.

[@peks2036]

This has to be the best raw video you've ever made. Blessings to your family..

[@tamika8329]

I’m 6.5 years clean from a heroin and cocaine addiction. I really love that you decided to share this with us. 💜

This was an extremely private video. Thank you for sharing and many blessings to your family.

[@heather_doestruecrime]

This is why I’ve always loved Laura, you should always be able to tell your story without people thinking “it’s to gain sympathy.” Thank you ALL for sharing all this, you didn’t have to. Much love.

[@mememe217]

LITERALLLLYYYYY ALLWAYS LOVE LAURA!!!!

08/10/2008 is my clean date... 11yrs I have been clean... it wasnt easy but my it had to be done. My son is 13y.o and thankfully he was too young to remember. Recovery gave me the tools to live and to teach him the tools to not go though what I did. What I cant do alone, we can do together ♡

[@MostAdmired67]

CONGRATS hun... ❤

[@CeeJay190488]

I’m proud of you! Keep fighting that battle beautiful ❤️

[@simplyalexis594]

I was that little girl wondering why my dad loved drugs more then he loved me. Why year after year for 18 years my dad didn’t say a single happy birthday. Growing up without a father and a single mom gets lonely. Addiction ruins families. I thank god that my father is sober 6 years now and even though he wasn’t able to be there for me he is there for my kids and he is just amazing.

[@TracyCampanella]

❤❤❤

[@may_lys7111]

😢❤️

[@sailormf]

Same. I can remember being so so young and begging my mother to choose between me and alcohol and am SO grateful that she finally stopped drinking.

[@iseejupiter]

Just came back to this after watching the most recent Laura and Eryn video. There is so much love in this beautiful family. It has been so much fun seeing Eryn grow into such a confident, driven and grounded young lady🥹 Thank you being so vulnerable and real with us🩷

[@ermfine2]

Eryn looks just like her mom. Eryn is so lucky to have you all & you & Ty are lucky to have her. I hope your sister is well & on the road to recovery. XOXO

[@rachelrobertson5689]

Eryn I just celebrated 20 years with my parents, they adopted me when I was 12 after my mom passed away. We are BLESSED! ❤

[@wolfstyler1335]

Awhh blessss

[@maddygeist1795]

i’m literally sobbing. i love with my grandparents because my mother is an addict. you’ve done wrong in the past, but this video means a lot

[@Ididntwantayoutubehandl]

Maddy Geist I’m sorry you’ve had to go through that, Maddy. ❤️ But glad you’ve got your grandparents by your side. Hang in there.

[@aleashaclark2]

My mother was a drug addict as well, and I wish I had an aunt or older family member to take me in and help me out. So I wish the best for eryn and I hope she takes full advantage of the opportunities you give to her by providing her with this new lifestyle
