Overcoming Addiction

[@LeilaniDoneux]

I gotta say- hearing your husband talk transparently about anger and addiction is astounding and so far beyond what I have grown up seeing men, especially Southern men, willing to be vulnerable about. Y'all are great and I wish you nothing but better bests.

[@meredith4539]

Exactly what I thought too!! Well said!

[@taylork322]

southern men are MEN!! masculine and feminine

[@jessicagrace1342]

What she said🥲❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@sparklecleanings]

Would your family members ever do a q&a about being loved ones of those who struggle with addiction? My boyfriend is one year clean and I find it hard to find info about how hard it can be on fam members also. Love u guys!

[@chloedawson8362]

My boyfriend is a week sober, I would love a video like that too

[@la6179]

I have struggled with addiction & substance abuse myself, but being sober now I still deal with family members doing the same. I have had a huge urge recently to speak on it so maybe I can help others who go through both. There are not enough people out there speaking on either. But, the more people do, the more it urges others to do so. Your comment just fueled that even more for me & I love seeing success stories. It always makes me so proud to see because not many people truly understand how difficult it is to live in active addiction & recovery, but also to be that family member to one who does. You’re all so awesome for being there & supporting your loved ones. 💜

[@maryshannonkelley5884]

I love hearing y’all talk about the physical and mental tear of addiction. I’m only five days clean and if I didn’t get clean from alcohol and bars. I’d never realize that alcohol caused the insecuirties to start back in the summer and caused me to lash out and be angry with the ones who loved me. I was awful to my significant other and ended up cheating on him blacked out and I continued to use after I did bc I was more insecure w myself after the fact. Today, I am glad I am sober. Even if it’s a small change for a few days. I feel a lot better being able to make conscious clear decisions instead of being manipulated. And not able to make decisions well. It’s gonna take time but I’m gonna be able to forgive myself one day through getting sober from alcohol. Hopefully.

[@kelseymiller2000]

Hey girl I hope you’re doing well! God bless🤍

[@marinaparks1354]

Coming up on my 4 years sober. Thank you for being a family on this platform talking about addiction and sharing how beautiful life is when you surrender and love yourself again ❤️

[@shelbys20somethings]

so happy and proud of y’all that y’all have found peace

[@sockmonkeylover270]

i love the relationship you two have. you both are so strong this story is so wonderful and im so proud of you.

[@chaselauradunagan8920]

I absolutely love this! My husband and I are also recovering addicts, and the answers to these questions are ON POINT! Keep up the amazing work! So proud of you!🥰

[@michellestenvold2762]

I’ve been a fan since the beginning Tasia! I wondered where you went when you dropped off socials! I’m so glad you got through your journey and now living your best life with God and your family! ❤️ I’ll be 3 years sober on the 22nd! It’s the best way to live :)

[@alexxgillespie3191]

I am in awe hearing how well you both speak on your substance abuse and mental health experiences. I can tell you both have healed enough to be so confident in speaking on that past you (I can relate) and that is a wonderful milestone. Love your little family - Greenly and Princeton are in the best hands. 💙💙💙

[@lexieeee8034]

Anger definitely makes sense. I get angry at small things it’s like I’m happy when I eat but feel horrible after. It’s hard to socialize it’s so hard to relax.

[@michellemoore7208]

Love this. You’re right, you have to want it yourself. Other ppl wanting it does nothing.

[@baileyjodaniels7308]

Awe y’all are just the best! we love to see it!

[@urprollyright615]

Thank y’all for your transparency. I’ve been following Tasia since the vine days in like 2014-15 (the videos you, your dad, Kenny Joe, and Upchurch would make). I had no idea all you’d been through. I can relate so much to this. Yalls story is so inspiring to my husband and I. Thank y’all. 💜

[@shawnnasutton8213]

I love your family so much!!! I love that you both went from that to where you are now. I love seeing it🥰

[@autumnsleva2323]

I love you and your family ❤️ you’re an inspiration to so many

[@jasmineness5355]

You can definitely see that you guys we’re made for each other. Your stories and you guys as individuals are so much alike! But I would love to see you guys do a cooking video together or something creative with greenly😌❤️

[@Lauren-fv6dd]

The vulnerability is so real.

[@mellymel6573]

Absolutely amazing video! Thanks for sharing some of your recovery. May God continue the blessings 🙏🏼

[@Victoria-qu8wh]

I’ve been watching since vine !!! You are so bomb so happy to see this🤍

[@giahollingsworth7311]

Cried watching this your such an inspiration 🥺💘

[@sunnieparker2206]

I’ve been watching you since vine and I just wanted to say that I love these videos because I’ve always wanted to just be your friend and it feels like I’m right there with you haha and that’s creepy but you’ve been one of the only people on social media that I feel like I could be genuine friends with. I keep up with your family and I think you guys are so awesome. Praying for you and your amazing testimony’s as well! 🤍🤍

[@robynpitt1502]

Tasia, I am so proud of you and everything you’ve gone through. You are so strong and a light in this world and truly help so many people. I’m glad you and your husband found eachother and have a good mutual support system. Happy Holidays 🤍

[@julieannsworld5364]

I’m so happy to see you posted this 😭🤍🤍

[@CatieDoll]

Lol you celebrating that you guys got out of the house... Lol such a mood. Loves it boo. Just getting ready and everyone being in a good mood is a rare occasion. I feel you mama!

[@skylinmay4846]

My mom started using when I was 14 and finally I realized she’s only gonna change if she wants to. If she’s gonna use it’s on her, yeah I’ll answer her calls to know she alive but that’s it. I look in her eyes and she’s just gone. I’m glad y’all’s children will never have to know that pain.

[@herinspiredlifepod]

God is using you all mightily! Keep going Tasia!

[@rhyaweeks]

While using I got so skinny I couldn't even fit my double 0 shorts. 😞 now I'm back to a 0-3. I still have dark days with my mental illness but I pray much more.

[@serinatrujillo2142]

Wow so powerful

[@marliejohnson8109]

LOVE watching your guyss😇💜💜

[@coristew]

okayyyy preacher Gavin👏🏼

[@gigglyvibez]

what drugs exactly are we talking about here? cause my dad has been addicted to meth for my whole life so i’m just curious how it’s even possible to overcome addiction

[@joyyyyyyyyy1]

Love u guys

[@AshleyA93]

I didnt know you had a KZbin!! 😅😅

[@isabellagraham864]

you guys are suchhhhh a good looking couple

[@michellestenvold2762]

can you do a video on Princeton’s birth story?

[@talleytootoo333]

So happy for you guys

[@sabrinasmall9855]

Where is that IG post?

[@britneypeters]

Hey girl, I’ve been following you since the very very beginning, probably way back in 2016. I just want you to know how proud I am of how far you’ve come. It’s beautiful seeing you happy with a beautiful family. You kids are lucky to have such a great mama💗

[@KourttneyL]

I’m so happy that I found you on tik tok, it’s amazing to see your journey to being a better person for yourself and your family. ♥️

[@graciegail_x]

As a child of a mother who struggles with addiction and still to this day refuses to get clean, I’m so proud of you. You don’t understand how lucky your children are. I love you 🤍

[@antoinelyons5323]

You can get dry

[@makaylaprather6821]

“and still to this day refuses to get clean” girl….. that’s a pathetic ass comment, cmon now. shut your ass up.

[@user-td8kc9rn2s]

"You gotta let someone else be in control(god)" AMEN. What amazing testimonies you both have. I have been around since 15ish year old vine Tasia. It truly is amazing what happens when you let God be in control 💗

[@kmcdc1997]

I’d love to see a Q&A w/ you and your mom (if she’s comfortable w that). I’m curious her perspective from the parent side of addiction & also now being a Glee :) plus we all remember her from early days

[@brookefaunce5161]

This video brought tears to my eyes! I fell into my addiction with meth at 18 and I tried so many times to get clean. Getting sober for 2-3 months was easy but staying sober was so hard. It broke me. My friend had to hold me down and pour water down my throat and force me to eat in the middle of me screaming because my body hurt so bad. My eyes were rolling in the back of my head. I couldn’t stand up because my feet had just stopped working. And I didn’t know wtf was really even going on. I had just gone through a horrible break up, lost everything, and I relapsed worse than I ever had before and I wouldn’t eat or drink for almost a week at that point. After that I finally got clean. I was clean from February-May. I thought I was doing a good deed and helping a “friend” go get a car and ended up relapsing because she told me she had it on her. I was so ashamed of myself for relapsing that I remember sitting in my car alone screaming, and crying and I told god “I give you 1 month to show me a reason why I shouldn’t end it all. My family is done with me because of my addiction. I keep failing myself. I don’t have any real friends. Show me a reason why I shouldn’t end it.” 2 days before the day that I had planned to end it on, I found out I was pregnant. Now I’m 28 weeks with a precious baby girl. Despite being told my whole life by doctors I’d never have a baby. I am now 7 months sober. And Thriving.

[@savannahreeds264]

Amen! God is working for you and has many more blessings in store❤️

[@katietoews2223]

You've come such a long way Tasia, I remember watching you back on Vine and then watching all your crazy snapchat stories and to see how far you've come is incredible. My older brother who was 22 at the time died in 2017 of a fenantyl overdose so I always love to hear people's success stories and to see them living the life they deserve.

[@meredith4539]

so sorry to hear of your brothers passing, hope you are healing well ❤️

[@tayh9216]

This was SO refreshing. You guys are wonderful together.

[@mf6598]

Green bean is so darn cute. She is talking so much more! Congratulations on your sweet baby boy! Your family is so beautiful.

[@brookecarter5513]

y’all are my literal favorites. yalls videos and you and camo’s podcasts and tik toks make my day. I love you so much girl and so beyond proud of you!

[@xxvirginiaaaxx]

Tasia, having watched you since like 2014, I absolutely love seeing how far you’ve come and I couldn’t be happier for you and your beautiful family ❤️

[@lizcarolew]

such a precious family with a great message❤️

[@micheller2283]

I just found you on tiktok last year when you first got back home. So I didn't "know" you during active addiction but I'm proud of you and your husband for both getting sober and creating a good life for you both.

[@caitlinarmstrong9085]

You being so smitten about your husband & kids and life in general looks SO good on you

[@janiestonecipher3110]

Its so hard to come out of the addiction lifestyle other than just the addiction. You have to completely change your life. People, places, even music. You have to rewire your entire Brain. Drug addiction it’s the closet thing to hell on earth, it’s a demon that doesn’t want to let you go. Congratulations on your sobriety. And it’s important for anyone reading to understand that addiction could happen to anyone one bad choice and it could be us. So don’t judge or laugh or mock. And lend a hand help people have empathy for them

[@michellemarie1197]

what was the first instance that made you start using? if you don't mind me asking, i remember watching you on vine during 2015 when i was only like 19 and you seemed to have a happy life, funny and caring family, and you have gained fame from vine and you have such a strong personality and seemed comfortable with yourself. im glad you overcame it and are living a healthy sober life

[@lexieeee8034]

I am 132 days sober from alcohol but now I have an eating disorder, I’m 88 lbs I used to be 230lbs back when I drank and I try so hard. To eat and I actually have a binge addiction so it’s hard I’m overwhelmed and right now it’s mainly overthinking. It sucks. My brain doesn’t turn off. It’s so hard when bc even typing this I don’t feel mentally here. But I’m going to Florida to go get help but overthinking that as well. My family supports me but it’s hard to be around them. And hearing the same thing over and over again. Like I try to make sure I get all the nutrition and everything it’s just so hard when I’m overthinking every single thing.

[@trulychilling673]

Ive been following you from litttttterally the start girl, and i’m overwhelmingly happy to see all your amazing progress, and you being such an amazing mother and wife!! ❤️❤️ so happy to see you on KZbin and thriving, so cute and gorgeous!!!! ❤️💅

[@claudiasilvers5646]

fun fact.....you can get clean without Jesus.... just sayin... don't have to believe in no higher power..come on now... i love you so much but not everyone has to rely on a "higher power"

[@MirandaLee312]

I luv y’all😍 New subscriber in Chicago 🥰😍

[@Ilikelasagna]

Omg not me looking at him and thinking wow he reminds me of my bf Gavin and then you said his name is Gavin LOL. My name is Alexis as well. Twinning

[@tiffanystewart7778]

Thanks for this. I don’t have suffer from addiction but I have loved ones that do, this helped me understand a lot of things.

[@kylie4108]

god really had a big plan for you guys. it’s amazing you both are here to tell these stories today.

[@OfficialYamilet]

Wow since you’re husband isn’t on your podcast or tik tok I don’t know why I thought he would be quiet and shy but he has a lot to say and he seems so kind and loving. So happy for you you guys seem so good for each other very loving and gentle ❤️

[@alexishancock3239]

Is anyone goin to tell her how freakin Greenly is and how Tasia is such an amazing mommy 🥰🥰

[@morganjolie6144]

Tasia, I truly cannot tell you enough how much joy you and your family bring to me. I’ve been watching you since vine and lost touch for awhile after vine fell off. When you popped up on my Tiktok, I was so excited to see a friendly face that had made me laugh through some of my darkest times, which you still continue to do. To Gavin, I can’t wait to keep watching the videos and getting to know more about you! Y’all truly are an amazing example to other people of overcoming your darkest times. This video was great, and I adore seeing content of Greenly and little Princeton. I wish y’all nothing but blessings and love. Thank you thank you thank you for being creators that I can binge watch whenever I’m down and I know watching y’all will bring a smile to my face. ❤️

[@KeelyJanelle]

[@blessedemily0705]

Thank you for sharing this video.

[@jaynaysay1273]

I’m so happy you decided to start making videos! I struggled with addiction in the past and am currently trying to quit nicotine and taper off of strong medication that I’ve been dependent on for going on 9 years and some of the stuff y’all said was really helpful. I need to not fear the difficult moments but to live in it so I don’t repeat it again. You guys are incredible and God wants to use your stories to help set others free 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Littlemichelob]

Why don’t u make more videos!

[@kevindoe1000]

[@jaimepuckett628]

You two are Aaaaamazing! I have been clean and sober almost 5 years February 1, 2022 and I wouldn't change it for nothing! Everything your saying is absolutely the truth! I was just tired of being sick and tired and wanted out! I tried to get sober before and it wouldn't work until I wanted it! Keep doing good and good will keep happening for you two!

Oh I’m so happy to see you like this girl!! I needed this video I’ve been struggling with the thoughts of going back to my old ways when I know I shouldn’t and this really helped me realize I’m still going down the right path and it will be worth it in the end !!!!

[@whtnymchll]

Beautiful. Thanks for being so candid. Congrats on sobriety & a lovely fam!!!

you guys are AWESOME 💗💗 i love the honestly & humbleness💗 you two are literally the best ever

[@jadalucia6031]

Omg the “hey queen” i love her so much

[@maryshannonkelley5884]

Yes advice never helped me. Treatment after treatment. I really feel like you have to let go of ur addiction when u r actually tired of chasing it and making it your first priority. Yes I was forced into rehab too. I still did bad when I got out too. I kept fucking up sober living after treatment. I am getting sober at my parents this time with no vehicle and currently a dui in two states away. I’m just praying for the pain from the consequences of my addiction and wrongdoing. I can get my family back and start feeling individually.

[@tdubb77]

so proud of y’all!! 🥺🙏🏼❤️

[@tvega6085]

This quote reminds me of you!! ❤️ “For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.”

[@alliecakess]

So proud of y'all! Listen, on March 14th, I'll celebrate 8 years sober. And my spouse and I were just like y'all. So many people told us we'd never make it, we'd never get sober together, blah blah blah. And, 8 years later here were are, better than we've ever been before. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏻💪🏻❤❤❤

[@gabriellap759]

I love this you guys are wonderful and I wish nothing but the best for your beautiful journey through life

[@v3nom617]

Glad that you and your husband are doing good and i enjoyed the fact he was so open about it all and really made me see changes in myself aswell I’ve ignored in the past

[@marissadavison6510]

Just subscribed but I've been following you on TikTok for a while now. Just wanted to say congrats on being sober for both of you❤. I love how open you guys can talk about your past with each other and also share it with the world. God Bless you and your family I wish you nothing but success and happiness. ❤

[@rachaelhamilton6431]

I just hit my rock bottom this year and holy shit are you guys right. I had a god complex and anytime someone tried to get me back on track I was stubborn as all hell. I love y'alls transparency and I promise talking about it so publicly does help people (me being one of them!) Something about you guys being so normal and not "influencer-y" is EXTREMELY refreshing. Great job making sure your children don't know that life of struggle

[@theisaacs4227]

Hey girl. What happen to the video of greenly singing about Jesus? Tried to show my sister and it was gone

[@audreytheriault2972]

Hi girl, I just found your tik tok and I juste wanted to say that you’re such an inspiration for me right know , I’ve been struggling with substance abuse since I’m 16 I rencently had to stop because of my health . You helped realize I can do better for myself too and it’s motivating to see people sharing their stories , I love ur contente ,you’re a beautiful soul and you have a wonderful family🥺🙌 keep the amazing work xx ❤️

[@joannarosew]

You a literally a rockstar. Thank you so much for sharing this, nobody ever talks about this stuff!! You're so right, nobody can make you get sober, you have to want to get sober, otherwise it won't work. Learned that one the hard way ♥
