Drew you're cat is doing something called slow blinking. When a cat greets another cat or a person with slow, languid blinks, it's communicating affection. Why? Because in the feline world, closing one's eyes in the presence of another is the ultimate sign of trust.

Genuine question : do you think that when he said "i want them to know there are people out there who truly believe it isn’t your fault. And when ur ready, there is help out there, even for the worst cases". Someone couldn't read that and think that it's okay to take drugs because " it's not their fault" and that they can wait as long as they want before trying to stop and everything will be okay ? In my experience some addicts will try to find excuses anywhere to not stop.

[@Banana2oo8]

fyp You’re asking someone who just lost her sixth friend this year to a drug overdose. Literally today he overdosed. And I almost died quitting cold turkey. So do I think there’s a reason people continue the downward spiral? Yes. Because sometimes quitting can kill you.

[@fyp7615]

@@Banana2oo8 I'm so sorry for your friend. I'm not sure you answered the question I might be struggling with the English. I never said you should quit on your own, in my opinion even quitting cigarette requires help. I just wanted to know if hearing that would motivate someone to get help. Sorry if you don't want to talk about it

[@morgan1740]

fyp I don’t think standing up for drug addicts by saying its a disease and not your fault will make ppl start or continue to use drugs. I understand what you’re saying by it perhaps giving addicts a reason to feel okay about what their doing but trust me.... a show of support like this makes you feel less shame and alone.

[@fyp7615]

​@@morgan1740 I see. Maybe saying something more like : "There is no shame in struggling with addiction, you're not just weak. Know that some people believe in you. With the appropriate help you can get through this, even the worst cases" would be more clear. I myself struggle to find the middle ground between compassion and enabling. I don't think Drew does it well either

I had family pass from a drug overdose and family die from cancer. They are just as tragic as each other. Addiction is a cancer of the mind. You may go into remission, but there is always that chance that the “cancer” will come back. And absolutely it can be a genetic thing - some people are predisposed to addiction, and they don’t know until they are addicted to whatever substance they experiment with. People can be addicted to legal things - like eating, smoking, gambling, etc. It doesn’t just have to be illicit drugs. Some people (like myself with cigarettes) never experience the struggles of addiction (I quit cold turkey and never craved a cigarette thereafter). Others pick up a cigarette and that’s it-addicted. We need to be kind to each other. Life is hard and short. There is no reason for cruelty or a hardened heart with each other. I agree with you wholeheartedly. It is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s okay to seek help/treatment. It’s okay to talk to someone about it.

“It’s like we forgot that depression is sad.” I actually love this. You honestly have good/deep thoughts. Great video Drew!

[@cuppatae834]

You are 100% correct. I was a heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, & xanax addict from ages 14-22 it ALMOST ruined my life. Thankfully I was able to pull my life back together 💜💖 I'm 2years clean & plan to stay that way.

[@paulakelly6457]

That is an awesome accomplishment! I used to be an RN at a rapid opiate detox clinic. Enjoy your new life❤️❤️

[@cuppatae834]

@@paulakelly6457 Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that means to me 💜

Wow this is rlly inspiring I'm addicted to opioids and I'm only 16

ARMY bitch so proud of you ❤️ keep it up

[@elizabethdesruisseau7826]

Congrats on getting clean!! :)

[@pyre_flies]

nevermind i'll find someone like Drew

[@gaygaygay312]

Drew out here spilling the real tea on drug addiction stigma 👏👏👏

[@shoshh7326]

this was the coolest video i have watched and so relaxing for me bc my brain jumps around just like yours does and idk today was a really bad and anxious day for me and maybe you wont even see this comment but like your video really calmed me down and i really loved it so thank you :)

[@karina9750]

Wtf. People need to chill out. My grandma passed from cancer and it was the worst thing that happened to me, I don't find anything you said offensive

[@aaronherondale3934]

I feel like undiagnosed people freak out more than diagnosed people.

[@PsycheArkhein]

Same thing with my grandma 😔

[@thewisewoman1048]

Rest In Peace to your grandma xxx hope you are okay

[@belli9281]

twitter is just really toxic and overly dramatic. i didnt find it offensive either

[@zabelconnor]

People wanted to be offended more than they wanted to understand what Drew was meaning.

[@invaderzim6904]

Drew, you know exactly how to say the things I feel that I didn’t think could be said the right way out loud...if that makes sense

[@jessicamarie8090]

You're right, addiction is a disease. A food addiction is a disease and an eating disorder. Thank you for sticking up for yourself and for us heavy people. I've been losing weight but I'm still insecure, thank you so much for making me feel better. I love your videos 💕

[@XxxXxx-yz8sy]

When cats close their eyes at you it means they love you and they feel safe with you

[@sarababydoll6124]

Drew: "I bet half the people watching this are depressed. I see you." At that point he got a like from me. I love you Drew and I definitely know the depression struggle.

[@itsstevenowens]

Man, oh man, I'm an addict and every time I have a lapse, I find myself watching this video (sometimes almost literally 'watching' myself lmao): "and the rest of their life is different and they have to deal with that." (@6:03) gets me over and over again, not just addiction but any major life event. You have to deal with it. Sending love to all X

[@Mlove4ya]

Your light is brighter than you know. Thank you for always being honest, it helps me to know I'm not alone.

[@epatrono33]

Thanks for hanging out with me before going to bed, Drew. I wish you the best.

[@metsankulkia7888]

Depression sucks but this video didn't. It was really great. I watched the whole thing and it was interesting and I like the way you talk on your videos. There, I left you a comment😄

[@OverThinkingSnowflake]

I Loved this unedited kind of video, felt like we were just chillin

[@Angie-yl6gp]

This was probably my favourite recent video of yours. Makes me feel less alone, thank you drew.

[@madisonroseeee]

3 years sober and your words hit me so hard. i love you, drew. you’re hilarious and THAT’S FACTS!

[@chris-673]

Proud of you!!

[@foreverchained9070]

Im almost 4 years sober and i needed this video so bad right now. The guilt and stigma from addiction is something most people dont understand how hard it is to deal and live with.

[@madisonroseeee]

i always feel worthless because i “let” myself become an addict and we’re put in that “i don’t trust them” category. it’s not right. i didn’t wake up one day and say “i want to become a drug addict”.

[@tiffanysmith1444]

6/23/15 here! Congratulations!

[@behabtwa]

Madison Martines blessings!! that is amazing. i hope i can look back one day and say the same. 70 days since i was committed.

[@sarahwatson9644]

Addiction is 100% a disease. I have never used that as an excuse but, it is certainly a factor. Getting sober/clean requires lifelong treatment the same way an "accepted" disease does. Thank you for going out there and standing up for people who are struggling? 👊❤

[@sarahl3721]

I think the problem with what he say here is that addiction is presented a something the addict has no control over. For the majority of addicts who ultimately want to kick the addiction this is not a helpful way to think. Yes, guilt and shame are damaging emotions but equally so is telling someone they are powerless to affect change over their addiction because kicking drugs and staying clean 100% has to come from the power of the individual. Safe to say, sharing personal stories of addiction might be helpful to others but maybe save the inspirational talks etc to professionals and those with experience.

[@awesomesauce4115]

Pop Corn that’s absolutely not true. I’ve been clean and sober from everything including alcohol for 3 years. That’s just an excuse to use.

[@Hazeydaze92]

@@awesomesauce4115 Yes, it can be done - but some drugs you can die from withdrawal and you need medical help.

[@salemthecaaat]

Sarah L you learn in na and aa you have to admit you’re powerless over your addiction, a big part of addiction is thinking “oh I won’t be the one that gets a heart attack, or loses my teeth, I’m indestructible, I’m in control”, but an addict is never in control and is powerless over their addictions. it’s not a bad thing to admit and say, it’s true, if we could control it we wouldn’t be addicts. we may be powerless over our addictions, but we have the power to fight for recovery and sobriety and help others fight and maintain theirs, and that’s ultimately what has helped people stay sober that successfully do.

[@salemthecaaat]

Eli E it is true, your brain chemistry is permanently altered by drugs if you do them long enough, heavy chronic meth and heroin users most of the time will only see success with medicine, that’s why suboxone and methadone are so important, there are studies that show some anti-seizure medications help too. same with long term alcoholics. when someone is in and out of rehab and can’t get anything to stick, it’s probably because their brain chemistry has been so altered they need medical intervention to help them. I can’t remember the documentary but you can literally see how peoples brains are altered on MRIs and CT scans.

Drew nothing you say is “not interesting “ I could literally sit and watch an hour long video of you talking about turtles and I’d be smiling the whole time . You’re so relatable unlike almost every other KZbinr who fakes it for the cameras constantly . You’re genuine and you’re loved ❤️

[@Kayizcray]

Drew, in the midst of this room of depressed people that we all are, here's a happy thought: if your cat is blinking when you make eye contact and talk to him, it's him telling you he loves you in cat talk. He's giving you lil cat kisses.

[@julieplct8776]

Omg Asra hi x) Your cosplays (is that the plural?) look awesome, love the Tom one too! Ok I'll stop being a creep have a good dayyyy!
