- Hi friends! I hope you guys like this video! I know it was a little darker than my normal ones but this was a really important topic that I really felt needed to be talked about. It is unacceptable that Keemstar is still so supported in this community. I love you guys and I will see you tomorrow!

whos here after keem came after smokey glow and his only comeback was to take a 16 second clip of hers out of context and make fun of her appearence? those tweets are all i need to know about that man smh
My husband was blown up in Iraq. Got put on morphine IV for months straight, became a heroin addict. That's how we met. We are both 11 years sober. He never picked up a drug prior to that. Thank you for speaking on this girl. I have no clue who the guy you are talking about is LOL but still enjoyed this vid.
Oh my god thats insane!!! I'm so happy you both found eachchother. Congrats on both of you're sobritey. That's amazing. 💕💕💕
@@smokey_glow thanks girl! Congrats on yours too!!!
“Shane Dawson took a picture with him”... very telling
Imagine that by association (via photo taken?) you’re to blame 🤣
Valerie Imagine simping for Shane Dawson in July of 2020
Elizabeth Hamill you know how many people took pictures with him in the past that do not sympathize with him today? You can’t do character assassination by association because of a damn photo. You probably have photos taken with people you don’t agree with nowadays.
He even had him in his documentary
Melanie and he supported his palette! Remember that? What a joke...
The brightest part in all of this, is knowing you are a kickass gift to the field of social work, Hannah.✊🏼💖
Beautifully worded, explained, and expressed.
I agree for the most part. It's tough because while drugs becomes an addiction/illness, some form of personal responsibility still exists. My mom was addicted to cocaine and meth at different points growing up. Eventually to deal with the pain, my dad turned to drug use as well. I love them both, but they ruined my childhood by not taking responsibility. They both hurt me in ways that forever effect me. Theirs a time for you to take responsibility to get help for your addiction for the sake of the people or things you love.
I agree. It's so hard because the addiction is not a choice, but the only way to recover is by making choice not to use. I hope they get/got the help they needed. 💕💕
I upvoted this video because of what happened yesterday. I love this video.
This past Saturday, my mom was officially 4 years sober. I am so fucking proud of her because she was in a rough spot for a VERY long time due to lots of trauma. My dad is still a current alcoholic and he's at a point where I don't see him improving. (I don't live with him anymore) My uncle has been sober for a few years and he was also VERY bad. Addiction is insane but im so thankful I grew up knowing how powerful it is and how dangerous it is to have that disease. Sometimes I forget it's not common knowledge to other people cuz they haven't dealt with it and it upsets me when people don't take it seriously. So glad you're healthy tho❤❤ everything you said is so true and I totally relate
Wow I had no idea you were an alcoholic. I appreciate you so much more! I’ve been clean for 8 years now, and hearing people talk about addiction like it’s nothing but some “idiot partying” bothers me so much! Totally agree with what you said on everything and thank you for speaking g up and actually educating! ❤️
Melissa Lang thanks Melissa! Honestly it would be nice sometimes to just be able to hang out with people and not worry that i want to drink 3 bottles to myself or get high but everyone is different for a reason. Funny enough when I was using, I never used at parties or with people, it was always when I was alone. Quite the opposite of party haha
I'm here again because of Keemstar. Love you so much!
Thanks for making this video. As someone who also comes from a long line of alcoholics, I find my perspective similar, but a little different. I am 100% predisposed to addiction, and I've struggled with a few (sugar, coffee, shopping), and I have compassion for those not related to me who struggle with worse addictions. However, when it comes to my family members who struggle the most, I find my compassion and empathy aren't as strong. And that's largely because they refuse to acknowledge that they have a problem and won't even try to get better. As a person, I can have compassion, but as a family member who has needed to depend on those people, I have none. I like the saying of "Addiction/mental illness is not your fault, but it IS your responsibility."
ThoughtsArrive Denial is one of the first steps to realizing you truly have a problem. I was told in treatment long ago- “if you have to control it, it’s out of your control.” Don’t lose faith in them! Give them tough, but understanding love. You’ll never truly know how much pain that person is trying to mask ❤️ And unfortunately you never know how long you have in active addiction, to live. So many people I’ve written off, so many I’ve cursed and kicked, when in all reality: They’re sick. Incredibly sick. And it has everything to do with them, and nothing to do with you.
hey awesome video. attorney here. just to clarify, the victim has no control over whether a plea deal is offered (although prosecutors attempt to give them a voice in the process) because the victim is technically not a party to the case. the victim also is not financially responsible for the prosecution of the criminal case. that said, much of what you said in terms of why plea deals are offered frequently in sexual assault cases is spot on!
Thank you so much for sharing this! 💕💕
no problem! it actually makes the point hit home harder that the plea doesn’t mean he’s not guilty or that there wasn’t sufficient evidence. plea deals are a part of the criminal process, and keem clearly has zero real-world knowledge of any of this.. so he shouldnt be involving himself. 🤷🏻♀️
@@jilliansmaniotto2326 thank you for this 🖤
Wow he just tweeted about it you were right
Girl, I get it. I’m 4 years clean. My addiction started with a dr...pain pills..exactly as you described. I went to a 6 month faith based rehab (my husband and in laws put me there..away from my two kids..FOR DEPENDANCY ON MY RX PAIN PILLS). I got out...was so happy to be home with my family...but my husband and in laws never treated me the same again. They were always spying on me and having family meetings behind my back. My husband went from being my partner, to my authority. So...I relapsed and came clean about it. They literally kicked me out of my own home..turned their backs..my husband divorced me and took my kids from me. It was horrible. It was during that trauma that I really became what they told me I was. I started self ,educating to numb myself. I began using hard drugs just so I wouldn’t feel the pain and guilt. It went on for almost a year, then I finally had to move in with my parents in Texas because I’d lost everything, including myself. That’s when I got clean and decided that I was t going to let them tell my kids whatever narrative they would spin if I lost my life. I had to face myself and my emotions, and make the choice to fight for my kids again because I love them more than I hated myself. To this day, I’m clean and still driving 500 miles every other weekend to go see my kids. I’m still working to clean up the mess I made, and learn hw to be independent, so that I can take that asshole back to court.
Just thought I’d share. I know it’s a lot, but if one person can relate or get some sort of hope to fight on...then my story won’t be in vein.
Didnt know who he was but clicked on the vid anyways to hear you speak. Good job on not being scared to talk about him, btw. We stan a brave queen.
I don't know this dude. I have never watched him. That said, the only things I have heard of him is negative. That's enough for me not to bother.
As someone who has alcoholics and drug addicts in my family line (( mostly my father's side)) I can tell you I also have a addictive personality. And I have to watch myself. My dad has the same problem. Though he doesn't drink heavily because he knows himself.
I had a family friend who used to baby sit me( note: she wasnt much older then me aside from a few years.))I believe she passed away in her early 20s do to drug addiction and it happened suddenly. She was a lovely girl.
Thank you for voicing this Hannah. It also makes my blood boil. Hope you have a lovely day.
Side note- your eyeshadow gives me life.
Hey Hannah! (I hope that's how you spell it lol) That was a really great video! I work as a pharmacy technician and doing so, unfortunately I see a lot of drug addicts. To be honest I use to think lower of these patients. I knew drug addictions are a serious illness but for some reason I had this stigma about them that they were bad people or "losers". With the way you explained how the addiction controls the patient, I see that I've been wrong for thing of these people in this way. Of course I can't 100% understand since I've never gone through this before, but this has definitely shed a light on a topic that I knew about, but not enough. Thank you so much for giving me a different perspective and educating me on these illnesses! It's changed me for the better! Much love!!!
Why was he even bringing this up? This situation happened like 5+ years ago. Jessi is married with a son now and I was a fan of hers when she went through all this and watching her have all her “friends” turn their backs on her was hard. So him bringing this up now is him being the self serving asshole that he is.
I don't follow these youtubers but it is my understanding that the accused did something or said something that brought the whole thing back.
Metamorphosis Rox ugh, that would be ridiculous on his part if that’s true. It’s sad that he still has so many supporters
Hey so I've been watching all your videos lately and I know you won't likely see this, but I was someone who lowkey thought that yeah, it's an illness, but also you don't have to try it. And this video made me think a lot. You've definitely changed my perspective on it, and it was wrong for me to be so dismissive. I'm a pretty fact-based person and take a lot of care to eliminate my prejudices, so I really love how your passionate and opinionated videos are very much a beautiful presentation of facts alongside showing how some opinions can be so damaging. Thanks for helping me be a better person 🖤
I love your face. I need to see it all the time. I come to your channel when I start to lose faith in this generation.to remind myself there are people like you out there still.
I don’t mean to take away from the value of your ideas and input but I love this eyeshadow look!
Awe thanks love! 💕💕
Great insights! I hope this vid goes far and wide and may you be protected from the 13 year old stans.
😂😂😂I'm not too worried. I've been through middle school already. There's nothing they can say I haven't heard. Thanks for the love! 💕
i love this comment! hahahaha
I hope you don't get a barrage of hate comments from Keemstar's stans.
Binge eater here. Addiction can be to anything. Anything that takes away your pain. And it’s hard... every single day.
I saw the first tweet and that night I got so angry I unfollowed him and stopped looking in his direction when he made the first comment. I plan on discussing him further during the livestream today but the one thing that bothers me the most is that this man has a female child. What is wrong with him? Would he like someone to treat his daughter like he treats these ladies? Urgh.
As far as drug and alcohol addiction, I have always believed your body tells you that you need something and unconsciously you go get it. For example, women sometimes eat dirt when they are pregnant because their body needs particular minerals. That sort of thing. So a person that is alcoholic or addicted, I believe their body senses they need something and the way to "cure" it, is by using that, kind of like self medication. Unfortunately, it works until your body becomes immune to the "medication" and then you need more. That is how I look at it anyways. I believe addiction is an illness, just like depression or anxiety and like most illnesses, people that don't have them, don't understand them.
Thank you for speaking on it and if his fans come for you, let me know. I have no problem educating them.
Metamorphosis Rox You are absolutely correct! Addiction is a combination of physical addiction (withdrawal without the substance) and a mental compulsion to use drugs (a rabid obsession). It’s literally insane what “experimenting” with drugs did to my brain at such a young age. It’s like drugs are welding together certain parts of my psyche, because sometimes, even though I’m 2+ years clean now (July 5th, 2016), I still crave drugs when I can’t cope with my reality. And it’s something I’ll always have to deal with, and not many people will ever experience those types of obsessive thoughts. And not many people care to truly look into addiction and how it works, and for Keem to have such a large platform, spreading this nonsense, is sooooo disheartening.
Kay xo Glad you are ok and that you've been clean for two years. I never had an addiction to drugs, I did have an eating disorder and some of the issues addicts face are similar. Hopefully enough people in his comments sections will set the kids straight.
Your thoughts on addiction and your words are amazing and beautiful. More people needa see this
I don’t know if you knew but the whole court situation was also years ago. It was brought up because the girl was also very vocal about her dislike for Logan Paul who publicly called her a liar and was aggressive w her in person over the whole thing. So of course when Casey interviewed him and he said he “always respects women” she outwardly disagreed because of the way he’d treated her in the past. That’s when Keemstar inserted himself unneeded.
I did see that but I didn't know the court case happened years ago! That makes it even worse.
Smokey Glow I maybe wrong but I believe it was 2014 or 2015 when it happened. It was more infuriating knowing he’s been accusing her of lying for that long. 🙄
Smokey Glow and ps I am so proud to hear you speak about alcoholism. I unfortunately had experience of the loved one, I dated someone experiencing it and I sadly had to walk away when I couldn’t help anymore. It was sad to see someone go from happy to losing everything in a few years. I’m so happy you’ve worked towards better.
Thank you for this. Jesus Christ.
As a recovering addict of 2 years, people with platforms this big have no business stating opinions as if they are facts.
Kay xo congrats on 2 years girl! I have about 5 1/2 years clean and it’s so nice to not I’m not alone in my journey!
Good job and for those of us who love your channel stand behind you.💕💜💜💕
Thank you so much for sharing with us. As a recovering addict (I’ve been clean about 5 1/2 years) i tend to be sensitive about certain topics. love your channel & how open and honest you always are ❤️
Congratulations on your sobriety! That's truly amazing 💕💕
Smokey Glow thank you!! That means so much!!
I've been sober for a year after suffering from alcoholism for two years. I, like you come from a history of addiction and it surely is one of the saddest illnesses. Your insight is beautiful❤🙌
Congratulations on your sobriety! 💕💕💕 That's amazing! You should be so proud. The first year is always the hardest.
Thank you so much! 😭🙌❤ recovery is a gift I know a lot of people never get so I'm very thankful every day
i just subscribed yesterday and i love you already
I wish YT gave the option to hit "like" on specific statements that were being made because you said soooo many things that I whole heartedly agree with! Much love and light to you
Another excellent video. Being old I haven’t the faintest idea who this person is; but he sounds incredibly unpleasant.
I also come from a family of alcoholics (although all my family members are women) and watched my nana through korsakoffs. I hope Demi is getting the right kind of support for her needs at this point with some realistic outcomes.
dude i love how smart you are. really really good video!!! ty for spreading this very reasonable and compassionate message
Drug use will always be a part of our society. We can't stop it. I think we should legalize drugs and educate people. People die bc they have no idea what's in the drug. I'm tired of seeing poor people treated differently by society and the legal system.
This popped up in my recommendations. 👀 the relevancy
Hey girl I'm so glad u said this and put it in a way that I would want to and couldn't u r 💯and I have an addictive personality and it is really hard and I'm just happy u said this
The more videos I watch and learn more, I absolutely love you. Thank you for saying that about addiction especially since you understand. Seems like people have to experience to understand unfortunately
Amazing video. You’ve been my favourite CZcamsr since I discovered you nearly 2 years ago 💗
Thank you for making this video even if it didn't have an obvious end/solution. While I don't know much about Keemstar, I do know that the language he uses to talk about addiction is bullshit. The way he talks about it only leads to shame and people that are feeling shame are not going to get help. Shame LITERALLY DOES NO GOOD. So I really hope some of his young fans find you and listen. If we can change how we talk about addiction, maybe more of us with addictive personalities can proactively face our demons together.
Your videos are always so well spoken and you captured the way I felt about everything so well 😩🙌🏼
Also not related but your makeup is bomb!!
I love this video a lot
His picture is next to the definition of 'trash' in the dictionary. I'm happy iDubbbz exposed him da house.😉😁😂
I didn't even finish the vid before I first commented but omg. Why is he using DARE logic? An adult saying "If you do drugs, you're a loser, so don't be a loser!" has never worked. Ever. That's the war on drugs propaganda that kids make fun of. Who does he think he is influencing?
It seriously means so much to me that you spoke on addiction the way you did I have struggled with addiction to opioids and am happy and proud to say I am clean today but when people say it was my choice to go through what I went through I honestly want to hit them thank you so so so much I honestly appreciate it more then you know!!!! Btw the example you gave is my story thank you 🙏
I wish I could thumbs up 1000 times for this video.
I wish we were friends in real life you’re so freakin’ cool Hannah💕
I'm so glad you chose to talk about this..because I didn't know much about him until the F.C. thing.. which I felt like he did the documentary on just to make fun of him.. which makes me so mad. I mean at first I was on his side yhinking F.T. was in the wrong & scamming his fans..but then I began to see he's obviously going through some stuff.. anyway..I don't like him.
I love this video. Everything you said is spot on. I lost my mom to cancer when I was 21 and a way I grieved was by moving my life to San Francisco. I put most my focus in my work and used it as a distraction to ignore my loss. Worked like crazy and got promoted and raises very fast. I started doing painkillers with my friend and always thought I was doing it for fun and that I could stop whenever I wanted. I would tell my friend that we weren’t addicted because we didn’t buy it and that once we start spending our money on pills is when we should be concerned. Well before you know we were spending thousands a month on them and it got to the point where I was so unhappy and it no longer made me feel that high. Instead I was taken them just to feel normal and not be in pain with withdrawal. I finally one night decided I was done and I needed to stop before it either ruined my life. After stopping I realized I had been numbing myself to not feel grief and to not deal with my reality of loss. It is very much a disease and like they say “the disease of addiction has no prejudice” it doesn’t care about race, religion, wealth, or age. It can and does effect anyone that falls into its trap.
Just watching this video in July 2020 & I had to do a double take when you made mention of the fact that you had 6K followers! Now you have OVER 200k!! Amaaaaazing! 🤩✌🏻❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 SO MUCH YES! i literally just kept yelling “EXACTLY” over n over again!! LOL
love you girl!!!
I love Jessi and when he tweeted that at her I was heated and then when he called demi an idiot I was like ok he's cancelled.
*loser
Girl I'm with you there. I cannot drink or be around people who drink either. I ended up addicted to pain killers for 2 years after an accident and back surgery. I can't even but "treats" or junk foods because I overdo that as well. I have to be extremely careful with everything or it gets out of control. I honestly don't know where I'd be without my therapist. 😭 I feel you on the addiction thing. It's hard. Everyday I wish I was "normal". **hugs**
I really enjoy this video!! Thank you for making this! I could be totally wrong but are you going to school for social work?? I've been really thinking about going to school for social work and I was wondering if you could make a video about your experience in school for that major? Do you know which field you want to focus in? Also you totally dont have to make a video about this!!! Love you!!
I am in school for social work! I'm at a state school in a social work program right now! Im really hoping to be a school social worker because I love working with kids. So far I've done a lot of internships in a lot of diverse places which has been amazing! If you have any major questions on what to expect you can DM me on Twitter or insta 💕💕 you should do it though! The world needs more social workers!
Everything you say is so true got so much respect for you seriously your so strong
Thanks love 💕
You nailed it, girl! I applaud you.
I love watching your older videos because they show how much you’ve grown in a relatively short amount of time.
My sister took tainted drugs and passed away in 2019. It was an accidental death and it completely destroyed my life. She was my best friend. Thank you so much for being so open and understanding regarding drug addiction, the opioid crisis, and addiction in general. I appreciate it endlessly ❤️ further reason to love you
She explained addiction beautifully. U will never understand it until u have been there. And so many suffer from addiction. The person addicted and the family dealing with the addiction. So many levels to it
He sounds like a sicko!!!!!!! Not watching him!!!!!
What is it with Jeffree star, Patrick starrr, now keemstar????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣it’s all Jeff’s fault with all the star names 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, my dad was a alcoholic he would get a hand truck! Go to the beer section and load it up with 12 packs and what was even more embarrassing was a stranger came up to my dad and asked “hey where’s the party at???” And he said “no party, this is for me” that was my sister, she did weed, crank, and drank in her high school years she stopped the drugs in her adulthood but not the drinking but she’s been sober though for about 5 years and I’m proud of her for that!
I already commented but I'm going to again. I want to thank you with everything I have, you explained addiction so fucking well. And about weed....my man and I just threw away 2 1/2 years of clean time, it started out smoking weed and the high from that triggered our opioid addiction and within days we both were back on our bullshit. We got back into recovery after 3 months and I hope to never relapse again we have about 50 days clean and sober today 😁😁😁
This is a great video. As someone who was abused and sexually assaulted I get a lot of flack for not pursuing that person in a court setting. I appreciate you telling people how impossibly hard that is to do and that other people should keep their mouths shut about things they don't know about. It was very validating to hear someone say that and its such an important message to spread. Thank you for making me feel better 💖
thank you so much for the trigger warning
God I love your videos! I love the intro, because you are so caring to your audience. I haven’t even watched yet, but I’m going to, and I’m going to still love your content. Here I go. I was kidnapped and brutalized by a stranger when i was 12, so again thank you for the intro. I am disgusted with this asshole, you are talking about, and I won’t even say his name.
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry that happened to you 💕💕💕
Smokey Glow thank you. If you would like to know. Ore about it I have been on a couple shows. On the case with Paula Zahn episode 22 hours of terror. I do public speaking now And advocate a lot . I went by the name Katie Romanek.
What would it possibly trigger?? I didn't catch what the trigger warning was about so ill finish watching when you comment back , I can't miss a smokeyglow video.
Jordan Kennedy because she talks about rape and drug overdose
I don’t use twitter so I use all these channels to get the scoop. What CZcamsr was he talking about ?
Honestly seeing someone call a sexual assault survivor a liar makes my heart break into a million pieces... It's 2018, but you still have to be incredibly brave and be able to face a whole shitstorm if you speak up about your experience, it makes me so so sad
As for his addiction-related tweets... Completely tone deaf and ignorant. If he really did it just to get a reaction then it's even worse lmao he's thirty six!!! years old and wants to ~troll~ people by making incredibly harmful and stupid comments?? Man, what a legend! Not pathetic at all!
I understand why kids would watch his content, but I can't believe someone as unpleasant as this man has such a huge following
Keemstar once called me an idiot on twitter and sent his fans after me TWICE after I deleted my text. I later deleted that whole twitter and am scared to ever make content because of him
I’m a 4th generation addict (at least) and I completely agree with all of your statements about addiction, it is 100% a disease, and the stigma and victim blaming of addiction is really sad in 2019. I spent the better part of a decade addicted to anything and everything, and got sober in April of 2018, now I’m just addicted to makeup luckily 🙏 I used to be someone that would say addiction is a choice, drugs are for losers, whatever. And honestly, I very much believe that this culture of teaching kids that drugs are bad and for losers and that there is no benefit, is what causes kids to experiment. We need better drug education, we need recovering addicts giving talks at schools and telling them what happened to them, and why HONESTLY, not just “drugs are bad, and there were no benefits blah blah blah”
I think we've come a ways with drugs, but we still have a ways to go. I mean, you can find plenty of old ads where companies like Bayer sold products meant for children that contained heroin. We know now that was probably not the best idea, because we know more about what it does to our brains and bodies.
People with sensation-seeking tendencies have a different pattern of behaviors. Whether it's becoming addicted to coffee (or another drug), having an addiction to body modifications, or feeling like you NEED to have another piece of chocolate; having too much of ANYTHING can destroy your life. I think the difference is the perception. We're just told that someone who has damaged their life because of drugs isn't worth helping. Addiction is a serious problem, and the focus should be the person struggling, not the addiction itself.
You do not need to believe that someone is a victim in order for a statement to qualify as victim shaming! I would bet that most people who do actual legitimate victim shaming probably don't believe anyone they are shaming is actually a victim. If they believed that person was a victim they wouldn't be shaming them. The whole reason victim shaming is such an issue and such a problem is because random people think that they have a right to choose whether or not someone is a victim. That's not the case. Whether or not a third person believes that someone is a victim does not determine whether or not that person actually is a victim. It's absolutely true that false accusations do make it much more difficult for real victims to come forward. But it was such a strategic and manipulative way to use that statement against an actual victim that it's just nauseating
Keemstar incorrectly mansplaining what victim blaming is, is damn wild. I literally don't even understand what he means by that
Well the "victim" would only have to pay for a lawyer to present her case if it was a civil trial where u sue for money for your damages whether it be physical or emotional damages. If it were a criminal case its up to the state/DA to file charges and taken the accused defendant to trial. That doesn't cost her anything
i had substance abuse from 13 to my early 20s and i truly believe for some people its an illness in itself but for me it was a symptom or side effect from trauma , depression, psychological issues etc.... i overcame major depression and i havent had the urge to use since.... i dont even think about it anymore aside from a few months ago when i was breaking up with my ex and became depressed again... basically as long as i keep my mental health in check i wont have the desire to self medicate... i was on painkillers/opiates for yearsssss and even if the mental desire to stay on them isnt there you get violently physically ill when you try to get off them for weeks at a time and its almost impossible to stay sick like that when u have work or school or other responsibilities that you need to attend to and you literally wanna rip ur hair out but you know you can easily go spend 10-20 dollars to feel immediately better and get back to "living".... its sad af.... and then even if you get through the physical addiction you realize that was the easy part because youre left with all your psychological demons and have no idea how to fix them because youve been relying on drugs to feel happier for however long....
its gunna be one of the hardest things you do but you gotta stop focusing on fixing the addiction and start focusing on why tf ur self medicating.... unless ur truly 100% positive ur addiction comes from nowhere and its the main issue and not a symptom of another issue
i dont wanna upset anyone ijs bc i wasted a ton of time battling the addiction itself instead of fixing my issues that led me to wanna use
hope this can help in some kinda way xo
oh and now that my mental health is in check i cannnn casually go out and party with friends once in a blue moon and it doesnt become an issue like it used to... its no longer a matter of having to avoid and swear off drugs and alcohol (for me personally).... i choose not to do them 99% of the time obv, but i have had alcohol or taken pain killers for dental work in the last few years and remained unbothered aside from a hangover or two ... gag
however im also 100% positive that if i had picked up a few months back when i was going through everything with my ex and my mental health was wavering that i wouldnt even be here writing this ide be in a bando rn somewhere in east ny x____x
just somethin to consider... i know everyones dif so again ijs im not tryna invalidate anyones personal struggle with substance abuse im just sharing mine yall
Speaking on addiction to anything: It is not your fault that you are an addict/alcoholic however when you know there is a solution it is your responsibility. I believe that’s what you were trying to say. And yes opiate addiction is particularly difficult because it isn’t a poison to our bodies and therefore we get hooked even quicker. I struggled with it for 30 years been sober for 7. I don’t wish that on anyone but I understand the struggle. Hate the addiction not the addict. Real talk.
People like him make me want to punch a wall. Ive had good friends assaulted and no one believes them. Its hard watching someone go through that. If someone called them a liar Id probably go to jail.
I'm glad you decided to talk about it. I know when I asked in your comments a few weeks ago you said you probably wouldn't. I think his behavior was disgusting and has been disgusting up to this point. Keemstar thinks he's the shit and that no one can take him down. He doesn't deserve his platform in my honest opinion.
I completely agree.
Accepting a plea deal is almost like admitting you’re guilty, not always, but it also says that there is enough good evidence against him that he will most likely be convicted
one time keemstar bullied me for a tweet i made at him and this was right after I was diagnosed with MS and went half blind. he sent his fans after me and i had to delete my whole account
So much yes! I know 3 people, specifically, who used heroin and didn't get addicted. One used semi-daily to thrn daily, for 6 months. Then one day said they would never do it again...and he's not done it again. That was in 1997. The other 2 used for a longer period of time, however less time of daily use. They also just said one day that they would never do it again...and haven't. I've lost touch with 1 of the latter but the other 2 are healthy and quite successful today. They were Lucky! They did not have a dangerous chemical alterations in their brains, they are not addicts! Mind you, they had physical withdrawal when they stopped. But they are not addicts. They simply got lucky. Our friend group has been ravaged by addiction, SO many deaths. And none if them were "losers" or "low lives".....
Hey I’m new to your channel and really enjoyed this video. You made a lot of great points, but I have to disagree with you in part when you started talking about addiction. I also come from a family of alcoholics and addicts and thankfully I haven’t become addicted to anything beyond sugar and caffeine. I also decided to stop drinking when i knew it could be a huge problem for me in the future. But it felt like you were almost taking most of the blame off of addicts due to their genetic disposition to addiction, and almost absolving them of their choices. You did mention that you believe in personal responsibility and that to an extent addiction is a choice... and maybe that’s been your experience with it. But usually addiction or alcoholism isn’t by itself an illness. Yes it is an illness, but usually as a symptom of some bigger problem such as mental illness like depression or anxiety. I understand fully that my parents were predisposed to addiction, but not in the sense that they had no choice. My father died an alcoholic and while I do feel bad for him and i understand he had a difficult life, I’m not going to say it wasn’t his choice to continue to destroy himself, instead of rising above his circumstances and mistakes. Same with my mom who’s still living and still an alcoholic. It’s ultimately her choice to not seek help and to give in to those cravings. And addiction is more than just mental... there is absolutely a physical dependency upon a substance as much as it is mental.
I agree with you that we shouldn’t just abandon those individuals suffering from addiction, but those of us trying to help can only do so much. I can’t make my mom stop drinking so she doesn’t end up like my dad.. only she can make that choice. I can give her support, but I’m perfectly fine with distancing myself from her while she’s still drinking because I’m not going to let someone else’s poor life choices bring me down. She and my father have affected me enough growing up, and I refuse to feel guilty for not helping her when in reality she’s the only person who can help her because after a while all of this is a choice.
Maybe my view is coming from someone who’s fed up with ppl NOT taking personal responsibility and destroying themselves and blaming the world for their problems. I don’t really feel that bad for my parents because they’re ADULTS and they’ve had DECADES to work on their issues and make better choices. And I believe Demi Lovato made a choice, too. I sincerely hope she gets better. Sadly I couldn’t make the right choices for my dad and I can’t for my mom, nor for any other addict out there.
I thought I would just drop another viewpoint on here, even though I’m totally late to this video. I’m looking forward to checking out more of your content.
As a recovering alcoholic I really appreciate this video.
As someone who is very familiar with the court system in Pennsylvania, I don't know where the incident took place but still, almost across the board plea deals benefit the defendant. I highly doubt that the woman who was the victim even wanted him to take the plea deal. Usually a plea deal is offered because the person who did something wrong usually will rather take a plea deal then face the mandatory minimums that is the only alternative. The benefit to the prosecution is that they save money and they save time and they basically get a speedy conviction. To say that just because someone got a plea deal that means they must be innocent... is so incredibly far from the truth it's laughable
I LOVE TAYLOR 💕
Me too! 😍😍
I dont know much about Demi, but i think we all know that she already had difficult teen years and needed help before, and we all know how easy is to go back to bad things if you surround yourself with the wrong people or if you come back to a way of life/stress levels etc... and Keemstar sounds like a high school principal trying to be cool oh hhahaha while writing this you said the same
Is not that they are for cool people or loooosers... but the cool gang usually smokes and drinks XD and that has been the easy way to look cool from decades... not saying that it´s ok, or that they really are, just pointing out an stereotype that i think keeps existing.
He could talk to all his young followers saying something that could show them how bad drugs are, like, look how even famous people make mistakes, drugs are not the way to go... i dunno, something like that, while hoping for a recovery and for her to keep fighting her adiction...
I completely agree. He could have made it to a teachable moment about the dangers of drug use but he instead turned it into something hateful against someone who is obviously struggling.
Keemstar also forgets that when you are a celeb like Demi is that everyone around you is a yes person offering everything to you. Thats why alot of celebs end up with drug addictions and what not. Take a look at Drew Barrymore in her younger days. She seems to have her self sorted out now so I believe that Demi can to. I really liked this type of video, would like to see a few more like this. Also how you talked about addiction made me think a lil different about an aunty of mine and what she went through, so thanks :)
👏👏👏👏👏
I have an addictive personality as well and I take medication that my doctor prescribes. I've never had medicine that would actually take my pain away..it puts my mind in a "different" place but the pain is still there. I would definitely say I'm addicted to my medicine even though I'm not buying anyone's pills on the side of the street..in my opinion doctors get people hooked on them so they have to go back every month or so.. it's very easy for people who don't have "real" pain to get addicted doctors will pump them out for anything then people in "real" pain cant get half as much as they really need.. I know people that are 60-70 years old with horrible pain and there doctors wont give them tylenol 3.. but a 16 year old go to the same doctor and walk out with two months supply of 20mg roxy's it's just not right
I find it insteresting he has that mentality about drug use but was fine being on the no jumped podcast while people were rolling and smoking blunts sooo yeah
It's cuz weed is a "cool" drug 🙄🙄 he just wants attention.
Also - what you said about addiction being a mental illness is 100% true. *Everyone has a chance to become physically addicted to something, but not everyone will become mentally addicted* !! NOBODY who is addicted to drugs is doing that to themselves because they WANT to. They do it because their brain cannot function without that drug there. You don’t feel like you’re alive unless you have that thing that’s missing. Not just the fact that you become violently ill without them, you literally don’t feel like yourself without it.
4:32 i think the word you were looking for was "sensationalize" /gen
Yeah i got to the demi lovato tweet and then i couldn't do it anymore!!!! this man is beyond belief
What I don’t get, is why I’m looking thru the comments here on your post- and they’re so positive. I go to Keem’s tweet? And I can barely get thru a couple responses. I don’t understand where these idiots come from?
Ps, can we be real life friends??? Follow me on Twitter beebs 😘 @__xokay
Are their neurological studies that prove addiction is mental chemical imbalance?
Yes. You're just ignorant and apathetic about searching it up because of your one experience you ever heard of. Ugh.
I haven’t watched the whole video because I’m angry. I’ve NEVER like keemstar. I would watch his show bc I like gossip lol but never liked him. After a while I decided to follow him on Twitter. I regret it. He’s such a child. Gets offended and he’s so insecure over everything. He acts like a man child and I hate how all the “big” youtubers like him and wanna get on his good side. I don’t understand how people don’t speak about the shit he says on Twitter. I can’t stand him.
anesthesiologists have a really high addiction level, I don't think anyone would consider them losers?
He's never shown himself to be a good person so I'm not surprised. Like the different topic
Through Twitter I learned that weed is the gateway drug that begins the spiral into addiction
Yes . Most dont onow because like others i dont shout it to the world. Im an opiate addict. It started as medication from the dentists. What they didnt tell me is hpw addicting they are. After literally 8 days my body became addicted to them. My body went through withdrawals. Im 25 years old and ive been addictee since I was 20. Im in a suboxone program now that has a blocker. (The one that saved demis life and counteracts the opiates) I actually use cannabis everyday and its helped me with my depression and anxiety. Your body doesnt become dependent on cannabis. Actually everyone tries alcohol and that would be the real gate way drug.Doctors start the addictions. Mostly painpills lead to herion because the withdrawals are so horrendous that they would do anything to stop it. I cant eait until the day I dont need a pill to be a human. You cant sleep ,eat, sit still, you throw up. Its the worse flu ×10. Its horrible and it WASNT my choice.
