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.

So about the soda thing, I used to be a cashier at Walmart, and I was trained to ask everyone "do you want this out?" If it was a pop or candy .

[@fyp7615]

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.

[@LeeLee-hi4nj]

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.

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.

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Angie-yl6gp]

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

[@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 💕

i have an addictive personality and have been addicted to people, weed, tv... lots of things that people deny people an “addiction.” but i know that is why i can’t drink like other people. no shame, i just understand what it means to have an addictive personality

[@Moni-xt4zd]

me too girl. good on you for being able to recognize it x

[@BrownEyedPrincess1]

Literally same. My birth mom is a drug/alcohol addict so I avoid those but I have other addictions. Video games, TV, etc have become addictions for me. It took me a long time to realize that about myself. Kudos to you for realizing that about yourself!

[@zosoart]

I'm with you there! X

[@HalfNHalf.]

erin davison same girl

[@aaronherondale3934]

For a long time I didn't want to use any type of recreational drug including alcohol because I knew my mom had been an alcoholic and I was terrified of being sucked into something I didn't mean to be in just because I wanted to have a good time one night. I didn't end up taking to alcohol but that doesn't mean it isn't real for others. Having no control is terrifying in any scenario

[@brookelaughlin6603]

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”.

Why did this make me smile so much, been feeling so alone lately, this made me feel like I had a close friend taking to me. Love u Drew

[@SarahRich]

If you’re worried about motivation it might be a dopamine issue instead of serotonin. If you’re on an SSRI and it isn’t helping in that aspect, you could try a dopamine antagonist such as Wellbutrin. It helps a lot with symptoms such as motivation, focus and energy. Love u drew!

[@roxiface]

Omg yes this! I take both and it has helped tremendously

[@oceana3070]

Sarah Rich Oh my goodness I think you and Alex from Pretty Pastel Please may be doppelgängers 😮 kzbin.info And definitely agree - Wellbutrin got me out of a tough time when other antidepressants had made me feel worse or with bad side effects

[@KateCarew]

Dopamine agonists DO really work either in tandem with SSRIs or alone. I had intractable depression that was greatly diminished by addressing a dopamine deficiency. Ultimately I ended up needing ECT, but dopamine staved it off for about a year.

[@milespacheco4248]

I really hope you're a medical professional... I dont know Drew's mental health history but from experience with mental health issues myself... welbutrin makes me manic to the point of psychosis so sometimes people can only take an SSRI... so even though I get your point.. if you dont give whole facts someone might read this comment and try to get on something or be a doctor for themselves and from experience that never works out.

[@KateCarew]

Miles Pacheco you’re absolutely right, Wellbutrin made me feel like all the lightbulbs were blazing and I couldn’t stop jittering. I was told it was particularly problematic in the generic (bupropion) form. I’m actually a nurse haha, and I think (HOPE) he’s sage enough to speak with a clinician...there are so many meds and everyone has a different physiology so it’s impossible to predict how any individual will react. Currently the first line of treatment is therapy, THEN adjunct meds, but doing them in tandem is also effective. Meds alone aren’t going to cut it, and therapy alone may not cut it for everyone.
