Stop the war on drugs! All the money saved on the war can go to create free rehabilitation centers and education. There is no need to lie to a generation like the Regan administration, tell them the truth about drugs - why some people become addicts while others do not, why it is important not to put drug users down, why using drugs will only mask the problem and will only work for a period of time. The war on drugs has killed millions and divided millions more. It was flawed right from the start. You CANNOT tell another human being what they can and cannot put in their bodies, but you can be there for help them when they eventually fall Yes, that means we decriminalize the hard drugs,too ( heroin, etc.) When the government takes over the sales of these drugs, there will no longer be the impurities in these drugs, which is what is doing the majority of the killing. Yes, you still have to put an age restriction on the sales of these drug, but that is all you can do. You have to let human beings make their own choices when it comes to putting substances into their own bodies.
Just saying if you're gonna make an episode about addicts, pls dont invite ONE food addict because I felt super offended by more than half of the things he said (being an ex addict myself.) It just didnt make sense. If you wanted to make an episode about food addiction than you shouldve out that in the category of eating disorders if ANYTHING. not addiction. Period.
*do all people with eating disorders think the same?* Its a issue at my school and its just scary how many people i know with an ED at such a young age.
Totally agree, u can tell from her mannerisms that she’s still currently using. Plus she pretty much said she wasn’t sober and doesn’t know if she wants to be sober.
@@staticbeans that was stupidest comment I have ever heard. I was an addict, I've been clean a long time now but will tell you I paid for it I never stole from anyone. Not all addicts are theives.
@@zisira2469 the comment pointed out the she sounds like she still struggling and I guess it makes sense that a lot of people although going to AA meetings are still struggling I hear you ✊
It pains me to see Jonathan apologize for showing emotion of the people he's lost along the way. No need to apologize for being emotional about that whatsoever. Keep on keeping on brother!
The best advice I ever received (when I apologized for crying) was "Never apologize for that. You have every right to be moved by your own experience."
@@StephanieSlumdog Weird, the advice I get is, "stop being a cry baby/wimp." So I haven't for 5 years, worked so far. But good for you for letting your emotions out!
when the woman said "...tell me why i should be sober, tell me why i should love my life...", it really opened up a window to her thoughts and feelings. :(
@@thatgirlreacts5465 i think that's her depression talking, and when you have depression you need help from professionals, you can't just "find the answer within you" (talking from my experience). that's why i do believe is important to call addiction a disease and treated with depressive or manic syndromes, becuase most times it comes from that. it's not as easy as using your will when the will (to live, even) is not there to begin with (no hate to you at all, just some thoughts about this)
@@janine2957 and professionals and medications will help HER find the answer tho those questions WITHIN HERSELF. Because no one can give her those answers. I stand corrected.
Didn't see said she done hallucinogens? I guess that's also her addcition. The only really addictive hallucinogens I can think of are ketamine and nitrous oxide. It was really hard for me to give up nitrous oxide. It's like buying a box set. I have to finish the whole box as the hallucinations keep ending on cliff hangers. Though some hallucinogens can somehow work against addiction as they work on different areas of the brain. I remember reading a story about a heroin addict who used iboagne because he wanted to get high, but he came down from the trip and left his addiction behind him. Psilocybin has also been shown to help people give up smoking.
The fact that this guy remembers exactly 6 days ago 11 years shows how heavy the overdoses have been weighing on him. Man I hope one day you forgive yourself. It is not your fault.
idk, id like to say in my short life of 17 years, ive been through all of those “addictions” and i just dont think the food addict should be there, dont get me wrong its def real, i used to eat so much id throw it up and go right back to eating, but just something wasnt right with him there
I know this addictions can be also bad but I think drugs, specially heroin, cocain, make physicall and mental damage much more quickly also they usually drive you to criminal life or criminal people that is an important difference.
MayoOnMyRicePls alcohol can be USED as a drug. Abused, etc. Although prescription meds vs vodka are two different things. You don’t go to NA if you are an alcoholic. You don’t go to AA if you use narcotics.
No hate on Brad I totally understand his side- but WHY is he being grouped with DRUG addicts ?? If we're going to add variety, every person should be addicted to a different thing ?? Just me? He just seems so singled out here
Well, he did claim that he has food addiction. An eating disorder but an addiction no less, so he pretty much applies. The video did say "addicts"right. Like, it has no specifics to it so he still applies.
@@glamam3914 yes absolutely! It’s just quite different than say a drug addiction, so it’s odd to compare them. I just personally think eating disorders should have their own video
The opioid crisis in the US is a direct result of uncontrolled (badly controlled, whatever) opioid medication prescription by unscrupulous or ignorant physicians. Many patients can move on once they are pain-free, but a lot end up chasing the delicious numbness.
I guess it is different for everyone. I have a condition that gets worse every now are then and I have been talking opioids for 2-3 months at the time ( this last time I am going through right now is already lasts for 5 months) but after my pain is under control I don’t have a need in opioids anymore. I am more addicted to not feeling pain then to the actual pills. I have a different experience with weed though, which I have a hard time to stop using but I still do mostly maintain the control over my marijuana addiction I guess 🤷♀️
@@patriciacalderon222 I think he acted completely opposite, like he knows what he did was wrong, not only because of what happened to his friend, but just in general, and it seems like he worked so so hard for the way he is right now and it's just so impressive to me
Esmeralda Lopez that actually makes sense. You can have something be a part of you and your life but it doesn’t necessarily have to encompass your entire existence and who you are.
The girl in the black openly, comfortably said that she would do coke in the middle of everyone on a huge TH-cam show. She’s in it. I pray she gets the help she needs, addiction isnt fun
G Lyle she said “if it was put in front of her” people say this about highly addictive drugs years after sobriety; seeing it in front of them can be irresistible for a looong time
Self control is the result of a well developed prefrontal cortex. Without it you simply cannot have self control. That is why it’s wrong of them to say it was “their fault”.
"Do all police think the same" would be really eye-opening and potentially beneficial because it would start a conversation that really needs to be had..
we all already know that not all cops think the same. the answer to that is pretty self explanatory since in general, not everyone thinks the same. there are good cops and bad cops just like there are good people and bad people
The dude in white was like such a good guy. It was so shitty that the "food addict" laughed at him saying he felt the urge after taking opiates in a hospital.
rkgregol honestly I think he was nervously laughing because he wasn’t expecting to hear that response. It was an awkward laugh to fill the silence I believe.
No, I believe there was one. I think it was the adopted one. Cause I remember thinking "hey, they didn't hug." But I could be wrong on which one but I'm positive there's another one that doesn't hug.
@yami bakura 🤣🤣 oh okay. Well like I said I could've been wrong as you just proved but I'm pretty sure there was one. 🤣 Unless all this Pokémon Go I play has got me messed up. 🤣🤣🤣

Normally in this series the “cast” have great chemistry because they can relate but for some reason all these people seem almost distant and closed off.
not to stereotype but i can't imagine these people are having the easiest time socializing and acting like how "normal" casts do. their addictions didn't come from nothing. trauma might have changed their personalities over time to be more introverted.
I agree. This group was cold. Low level of compassion. The female wasn't acting right. When Jonathan got upset everyone just stood there. I proper didn't like this interaction. The only time they were united was the end when they started clappinh together
I've been clean for 3 years but when she said the word "coke", brought up a craving. i think the biggest misconception with addiction as that its a past. no; its a past, present and future, an every day battle, occasional dreams. for me, the smell of a clean hallway with strong cleaning products to this day still brings up a craving. my dad always says you are never "no longer an addict"; you're an addict who doesn't do drugs.
Facts! Also, one of the hardest things is when people who have never suffered with addiction say things like “ oh why don’t you just not do it”, 😩 if I could just not do it do you think I’d be in the same position? No. I would be clean and sober like I’ve been trying to do for the past 7 years of my adult life. I find addicts are some of the most empathetic and kind people behind the addiction, the way addiction throws my morals away for a moment then I still have to deal with the consequences of my actions afterwards because I beat myself up keeps me in a loop and it’s so frustrating, my substance of choice is the same as yours and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Keep it up 👍.
KteaBee I can see why people would get addicted to heroin or any drug during in a hospital, I got my colon removed from surgery and they kept giving me doses of hydromorphone, and man that stuff rocked. Was getting it all day for 2 weeks (for the pain of course) and made me feel so good. But after getting out of the hospital, I wasn’t really going crazy for it thank goodness. I miss the feeling though.
I was under anesthesia because I broke my foot at the growth plate (I'm Dutch and translate told me that this is how its called) and that stuff felt good. I can see why people get addicted to that stuff
Megin Marie exactly which is why I’m confused on y people are calling her ignorant and stuff when she JUST said she is even drunk in the video plus she’ll still do coke. They should be commenting on her getting better
Meg Liengme please please don’t say that it’s just so offensive and disrespectful and rude I beg you please don’t say stuff like that don’t go around stating and labelling things. The spelling can’t be dyslexic it’s not true it could be a mistake. It’s just not nice at all to say stuff like that. Please stop you wouldn’t like someone going around saying that other people have a illness/disability that you or a loved one has. It’s sensitive and hurts for people please stop I’m just trying to help you change something that hurts other people it’s not an offence spread love not hate❤️
@@AB-gu9ui Denial? She said she is currently drinking alcohol AND isn't fully ready to get sober. She even agreed that the addiction is her fault. But yet she is in denial? Geez, people will literally lie about your character just because they don't connect with you like they do the others.
it didnt bother me at all that they included a person with a food addiction, bc its totally a real thing, but the guy himself really bothered me with his dumbass comments and laughing at the others who were struggling
You can see that Morgan has such a clarity while talking about his thoughts and feelings, he's being very honest with himself, I feel that's the best way to recover from an addiction (personal opinion)! Accepting the incoherence of the human mind and its instincts, the highs and lows of the treatment, the relapse and all... I think he speaks very clearly about how it's like to live with addiction, very clever I hope everyone finds a way to go through all this harshness that comes within drug abuse
@@josephsherby Maybe a bit forward but true. Unfortunately for some addicts, the affects of drugs can dampen down emotions including the need to express thoughts, feelings, or emotions for others.
The food addict has an extremely valid issue that shouldn’t be written off, yes, but it felt weird having mostly drug/alcohol addicts and one food addict. It either should have been a good mix of people with a variety of addictions or just drug and alcohol.
@@jeremylaneball5890 no, some people just eat to survive, some eat a healthy amount and some people think and eat about it excessively it takes over their life to an extent
So true, just a good guy trying to help... Addicts can be some of the most sincere people once they kick their habit, because they've been through hell and have come out the other end.
@@Bbybunn well the girl seems to still be in recovery she gotten to recovery like the guy in the white has so she is seeing it from a diffrent point of view.
@@Bbybunn absolutely he should have not been there I’ve done basically every drug but heroin was the one that really fucked everything up for me I wish I was addicted to food lol
@@purepepperedchickenrelish5254 trust me you dont wish you had an eating disorder. I was a opiod addict as well, I kicked it about 3 years ago. My wife has anorexia nervosa and she is addicted to not eating. It is not pretty, and if I to choose between going back to opiods or getting an eating disorder I would choose the opiods every time, anorexia is seriously no joke, and from the sounds of it this guy had bulimia which is even worse.
The guy with the food addiction Kind of upset me, he literally laughed at the guy who said he wants heroine after getting prescription opioids.. that's not right.
I think he meant that people with pain issues (who are not already addicts) who start opioids aren’t typically going right out to buy heroin after their surgery.
@@xxdiscoxxheaven1 yes, but for a lot of people that's how they become addicts. They get prescribed opioids then they crave the feeling and look for that feeling anyway they can.
@@xxdiscoxxheaven1 It is though that's a large part of what the heroin epidemic is about. Doctors were prescribing opioids for after surgeries for pain and normal people were getting addicted, and once their prescription ran out they turned to heroin.
@Polite Gordon Ramsay caffeine is actully one of the hardest addictions to quit. Dont feel any shame in it just because another person doesnt understand.
And I honestly don't think that shes over her addiction lmao "If you put a line of coke in front of me I'm gonna snort it" Well... if you were over doing drugs you should have enough self control to NOT do that lmao
@@Waddaa06 Of course, but should someone avoid all blame for their own issue because of their genes? No. Some of us are predisposed to it, but the fault doesn't lay completely with your genes. At the end of the day, you're the one who chose to use the substance, you're the one who continuously goes back to and refuses to get help for it. So I stand by mocking what he had to say, because he just reeked of not taking the blame for his own issues.
It needs to be clarified though. Its fuckin annoying that *SOME* aa people/alcohol abusers think well i only drink but your a crack head, and its some ego booster. If coke was legal, there'd be tweakers like there is alcoholics found easily on a daily basis. Said from an multi user.
@@arizonatea3734 FOR REAL people seem to think that just because it's legal that somehow makes it better for you than somethujg that isn't. Like cigarettes are a mix of the worst things u can pit into your body and they are legal.
@@floggyWM1 here in India, the family just need *one* doctor's signature on a sheet saying this person is a danger outside & boom, you're there FOR LIFE! I've met many people who eventually turned *actually mad* who've been there just because someone in their families decided it for them or they wanted their property/money.
I’ve never related to something so hard before. I’ve never been to rehab but between mental health and addiction there’s been times where I’ve been sobbing alone just wishing someone would check me into a facility so I could have some structure in my life and people to take care of me. The pandemic has been really hard for this reason, the lack of structure is slowly killing me.
Dani EscC She seemed pretty self aware to me. She might still be using, but she admitted it, recognized that she wouldn’t be able to turn down a line of coke, and acknowledged that she might not be totally ready to quit. She was on the agree side for the question about her addiction being her own fault. Her problems with the rehab industry were valid. Denial isn’t the word I would use. Dangerous is a different story.
I've seen many ppl come out of a dangerous addiction into non sobriety living with just casual drinking or smoking weed. I've seen way more ppl try this and fail because they either relapse eventually or alcohol/weed becomes the drug to fuel the addiction. So ya I think she's in a dangerous situation since she's clean from everything but alcohol but it's not impossible for her to be safe and mature about it. I don't think its denial but her road ahead of her most likely is going to either be weening off all substance use eventually or going back to harder drugs. She said her fav drugs are hallucinogens so idk why she doesn't do shrooms and go into the trip trying to look over herself and her addiction. A LOT of ppl find a shrooms/lsd/dmt trip once they commit to being sober or just want to be sober ends up helping them understand themselves and their addiction so much more. most don't go back for substances after. I'm even more surprised that she would continue to be an addict when hallucinogens usually promote healthy living unless u abuse them significantly and go into a psychosis or bad thought patterns.
@@mikemagliozzi8160 I know many people who do hallucinogens all the time just recreationally, idk if they're addicted, but obviously some people get addicted....so what's the difference between a person who continues healthy living and those who get addicted...or what is even considered addiction vs regular usage
He was there to give his views from his personal experience and it is inevitable for not all people who suffer from this to feel he wasn't the best representation and that should be expected, Jubilee team faces a lot of pressure for ig "right" representation of people
@@Bella-ul5bh People have an a right to an opinion and it’s kind of ridiculous when you put hardcore drug abusers and then you have A person with an eating disorder they’re totally different things and he’s kinda coming off as he’s better than everyone
I am 13 days sober today and the universe has really been testing me this week. One upset after another. It's getting easier and life does get better. Content like this keeps on finding me and I'm blessed to see it
I mean , he killed his friend, his friend died due his fault , a life lost and not just a life , the family , the beloved ones etc... That made me sad and really angry, I don't know...
Kate I don't mind people correcting my mistakes, that's how you learn... But dude corrects me like a robot, doesn't even say "hey, hi :) maybe you don't know this, but you write this word in this way..." Plus, it's really heartbreaking when your friend dies, he could say something kind about the issue that matters too... :/
I think although the guy in the army shirt deals w a food addiction, he doesn’t understand how drug addiction works and he doesn’t understand their experience. I don’t think this was the best video to put him in.
Victoria Bryan especially when he was talking about how “normal people don’t want to go to herion after getting pain reliever pills” , was so close minded. It upsets me so much
I think it's good that they included an addict that wasnt addicted to drugs, but maybe the group shouldve been more balanced and questions shouldve been more aimed at addiction in general. It was very drugfocused.
it‘s about addicts. So of course he‘s an important part of it. There aren’t just addictions to substance abuse. You can literally be addicted to everything, even love.
I find it interesting that the girl didn’t define herself as an addict and was also not sober. She said the programs didn’t work but also said she doesn’t want to get better.
That's called someone living in active addiction who's lying to themselves and trying to make themselves feel not guilty for not getting sober. Instead of I don't want too , it's there's no point that doesn't work . I tried this I tried that. It's always something other than the real reason .
@@meganm4304 She's aware of the fact she's not sober. She's just not at the stage where she wants to actually be sober. Idk what it takes for a person to get there or if you can do much about it. You have to inspire yourself to believe you deserve better.
she said MAYBE she doesnt want to get better since the programs didnt work for her and the guy said , youll get better only if u want to and she replied to that.... tf obviously she pointed out exactly what and why it didnt work for her
the guy in the grey shirt- explaining what its like when you become friends with people in recovery and then suddenly everyone around you starts dying. He worded it so well. I've lost so many friends to addiction, im only 21, and majority of them i met in treatment centres
I am so sorry for your loss, and I’m hoping to send you love and healing and joy in your life. I hope that you have those things for the rest of your life
@sarah kelley I think victim is alright to use because it's true. A lot of people starting to take drugs because they have problems and there is no way to deal with it in a better way and society doesn't help at all. So yes, I think people who are drug addicts are victims. It's their choice to start doing drugs but what else can they do when no one gives them any other chances to deal with their problems in the right way.
@Sarah Kelley wow. That's your opinion but I think that's a bit cold...he doesn't want help and why? Because he's addicted. Most people get addicted by something because they have problems they want to wash away and in a lot of situations, drugs seem like the only way out. You can force him into a mental hospital, a few people realise with this that they need help and are thankful in the end but some would be just angry. I was never addicted but I never accepted help with my mental illness and had to realise by myself that I won't come far if I don't work on it. It's not a happy topic but I would recommend to offer him help. Maybe just tell him "I'm always here for you" or call a 'help hotline' for people who don't know how to deal with people who abuse drugs. These people can help you and tell you what to do. Don't blame it on the person, blame it on the world for not educating people enough about drugs so they try more to avoid them.
@@xaviersalazar9890 when trauma can lead to debilitating depression or substance abuse that does not in anyway make someone weak. They are struggling. Their struggles are valid and most people cannot cope when put through severe trauma. It's not a choice to be hurt. It's not a choice to be suffering. And it most definitely does not make someone weak.
"Junkie" isn't necessarily a pejorative term, it just means they use alot of dope and dedicate alot of time to it. I've known junkies that aren't addicts, and addicts that aren't junkies (who still use dope)
I agree with everyone saying that morgan is great, but I just think brad seems like an anxious person and its probably difficult to be the only one representing food addiction especially because food addiction is less likely to be taken seriously especially when a man has an eating disorder. But food addiction is real and definitely super hard and im sad that people are implying otherwise in the comments (not you, just replying to you about his personality). Anyways yeah, he should be cognizant of other people speaking but a lot is going on at once including simply admitting such personal stuff about his addiction to the internet which has got to add to a layer of stress.
The guy in the camo ‘food addict’ pissed me off. How’s he using the word junkie and almost condescending the other people. Highly respected Jonathan and the bloke in the white t shirt.
I cannot get over the fact that the “food addict” says his addiction is “criminalized” at 9:06. It is literally not a criminalized addiction, the drug addicts are criminalized and are persecuted for their way of life.
@@GriffinWelch Yeah, I know. Which is insulting, because he's saying how he feels "criminalized" by society, while other addicts ARE ACTUALLY criminalized and having their freedom taken away for a substance. It reminds me of this movie where Will Arnett, the rich snob kid, is put into a cell with a seasoned criminal, and he starts bugging because there's nothing to do, eventually asking the criminal what they do now. Criminal replies, "Have you ever heard of the expression, 'like a prison'?" in a facetious way. It's like that.
@@GriffinWelch I agree, and I completely sympathize with marginalized groups. There was a time in America where being gay was criminalized, and it still is in other parts of the world. They can join the ranks, and I still sympathize with those who aren't. Fact is, they don't have to hide as much, though. I've never been jailed for drugs, doesn't change the effects criminalization has had on me. Literal criminalization does not equal figurative.
@@movessmitt6427 Well you make a pretty good point yourself. I've never been jailed either, but I've certainly had to go to extreme lengths to exercise my freedom to smoke weed and experiment with other stuff. Lol.
@@colei8752 But I feel like men and women cope in different ways sometimes. Yknow men feel much more opressed to share their feelings (generally) and women are "allowed" to show them
@@colei8752. Its not about the question being geared specifically to men or women. Its just the fact that men and women think differently and I'd have just like to have heard more women's points of view on this subject. We're all human and cut from the same cloth...but we think differently, we cope differently, heal differently, express differently and (often times) we were brought up and conditioned in life differently. I think its important that we hear both sex's views on this subject and all others. Gives the people at home watching a better chance of relating and when you relate to someone or something, you're more likeky to listen. So that's why ✌🖤🤟
Huh, I didn't notice the disproportion. I have attended group therapy for addicts a few months ago and as a matter of fact, men constitute the majority of addicts (at least from what I and the others observed there).
it doesn't show the spectrum at all. It included one other addiction, randomly. 4v1... drug addicts have extremely different consequences than a "food addict". I would love a "people with eating disorders" episode, but this felt so out of place. If they were going to include different addictions, all 5 of them should have had a different addiction. Drugs, food, sex, gambling, etc.
"criminalized" was a CHOICE of word to talk about food addiction when you're talking with people addicted to drugs in a country where there is a war on drugs that literally locks up ppl for having drug addictions
Yeah i’ve never heard anyone with an ED, even men like this guy is saying, saying that they’ve been crimitalized for their behaviors. That word is so loaded I wanna know more why he said that...because of stigma maybe, but still...?
@@selflove-vs-selfhate I think its because of the stigma. It seems to me that he simply meant to say that its very tabu for men to have eating disorders, which is true. Just very poor choice of words I guess
We shouldn’t deny that Brad (camo shirt) has an addiction, but we should acknowledge that he was really disrespectful and argumentative in this exercise
I totally agree. Personally, I just don't think that you can directly compare an eating disorder with drug addiction, even though both is very hard to deal with. Eating disorders just function differently
Food addiction is very valid. Personally, I wish this video would’ve featured only one or two people struggling with drugs/alcohol and one with gambling addiction, one with porn addiction, one with self-harm addiction, because I think it would’ve helped she’d light on what types of addictions there are and how similar the issues really are. Instead, I think the dynamic was kind of awkward. Personally, I think It made the guy with the food addiction stand out too much and that doesn’t help the stigma about what are and what aren’t “real addictions”.
the food addict really laughed after a real drug addict said “I do” when he said his “most people aren’t gonna do heroine when the come out of the hospital”
@@GriffinWelch yea, because that old lady can get prescription opiates of any dosage basically given to her by her doc. the facts are that many people get addicted after being exposed to medical care.. whether its morphine thru IV or thru pills pre/post care.. are we really debating this?
I related the most with the two guys with the tattoos. Most my answers were pretty much the same as theirs. & ooof the statement “I have lost someone to addiction” I instantly started crying. I’ve lost more friends than I can count. My ex boyfriend died and that was the worst loss of my life. & this weekend I lost a close friend. It doesn’t stop. It’s an epidemic out here right now. But I’m so proud to say I have 75 days clean today from heroin & I hope I keep it coming
Yes, addiction is addiction, but drug addiction and food addiction are very different so I don't feel he could have spoke on drug addiction or the others spoke on his food addiction.
soilgrasswaterair no I fully agree it is an addiction. And there is many things people can be addicted to besides drugs and eating disorders. Cutting, exercising, sex ext. They are all addiction even though it isn’t drugs, but they are also all different from each other and their addictions are all treated differently and recovery is different ext. I just feel a drug addict doesn’t really understand what it’s like to be a food addict and a food addict doesn’t really know what it’s like to be a drug addict. I’m not saying it’s not an addiction just that it would have been better to put him in either a group with other people who have food addictions that could better related to him, or they should have had a different addiction for each person instead of all drug addicts with one food addict.
soilgrasswaterair I agree with that and see what you mean, I just feel as if they where going to do a video where it was about how the core of addiction is the same with every addiction they should have had more then one person who wasn’t suffering from substance abuse.
@@soilgrasswaterair It is very different. I have so many loved ones who have dealt with or are dealing with addiction. A lot of addiction is just.. Personality. That fucked up bad hand you were dealt, upbringing, etc. give you an addictive personality. And it begins at a young age. Maybe they go through a sex addiction. Dabble in drug addiction. Eventually find a socially acceptable addiction. But say that person replaces their drug addiction with a video game addiction. The patterns and behaviors are still there. But one is a chemical dependency. So it is different. My point is some addicts will latch onto anything- even relatively healthy things. But as bad as it is it isnt deadly ya know. Even a non-addict can get addicted to heroin.
@@lunarlovegoodx3 what you're saying is so true. I sort of had that experience where I just go to different things with addictive behaviour. I grew up with a lot of misery so I'd constantly need something to escape. Like it'd be work. then it begins to feel not enough. so then I switch to sex. or even exercising. then it's not enough. so then I'd start drinking. Like it's literally latching on to anything. Drugs I purposely stayed away from because it felt too dangerous and I met people too who were too fucked up on it and i vaguely knew i had addictive personality. I thought I was playing it safe by using other means of addiction that seemed relatively healthy. Like I thought I was so smart and above it all. Even then it was a downward spiral because you start to put yourself into increasingly risky situations and it gets really destructive and dangerous and your mental health gets thrown into garbage. But it is definitely easier to come back from that kind of addictions than drugs cuz you have other parts of your life mostly intact and things are more recoverable. Drugs are really deadly and they work so much faster at killing you literally
The girl just keeps looking at the guy in the camo shirt laughing 😭🤣🤣 and I would laugh too cuz like I tought they where gonna talk about hard drugs but nah this guy talking about some Coffee 🤣
Not going to lie I usually love these videos and I get wanting a sense of variety when it comes to addiction, but I just don’t think guy in camo (brad???) belongs in this particular video. It really bothered me when he said “no one turns into a heroin junkie after pain pills” because he clearly doesn’t understand how opioid use disorder works. It can start in an office or whatever with pills and heroin is typically a cheaper alternative when pills are unavailable. He said some pretty ignorant things here and I feel what the other guys were saying as it seemed more productive. If anyone cares enough to read my opinion

Stop the war on drugs! All the money saved on the war can go to create free rehabilitation centers and education. There is no need to lie to a generation like the Regan administration, tell them the truth about drugs - why some people become addicts while others do not, why it is important not to put drug users down, why using drugs will only mask the problem and will only work for a period of time.
The war on drugs has killed millions and divided millions more. It was flawed right from the start. You CANNOT tell another human being what they can and cannot put in their bodies, but you can be there for help them when they eventually fall
Yes, that means we decriminalize the hard drugs,too ( heroin, etc.) When the government takes over the sales of these drugs, there will no longer be the impurities in these drugs, which is what is doing the majority of the killing. Yes, you still have to put an age restriction on the sales of these drug, but that is all you can do. You have to let human beings make their own choices when it comes to putting substances into their own bodies.
oops.. wrong comment to respond to. sry!
Hi🖑
Just saying if you're gonna make an episode about addicts, pls dont invite ONE food addict because I felt super offended by more than half of the things he said (being an ex addict myself.) It just didnt make sense. If you wanted to make an episode about food addiction than you shouldve out that in the category of eating disorders if ANYTHING. not addiction. Period.
*do all people with eating disorders think the same?*
Its a issue at my school and its just scary how many people i know with an ED at such a young age.
The guy in the white T-shirt is very empathetic and open.

It pains me to see Jonathan apologize for showing emotion of the people he's lost along the way. No need to apologize for being emotional about that whatsoever. Keep on keeping on brother!
The best advice I ever received (when I apologized for crying) was "Never apologize for that. You have every right to be moved by your own experience."
Maybe he should apologize for snorting a lump of phlegm into his hands, for all to hear! Nice one
It's basically like he was apologizing for being for a human who has feelings. It saddened me.
@@StephanieSlumdog Weird, the advice I get is, "stop being a cry baby/wimp." So I haven't for 5 years, worked so far. But good for you for letting your emotions out!

Didn't see said she done hallucinogens? I guess that's also her addcition. The only really addictive hallucinogens I can think of are ketamine and nitrous oxide. It was really hard for me to give up nitrous oxide. It's like buying a box set. I have to finish the whole box as the hallucinations keep ending on cliff hangers.
Though some hallucinogens can somehow work against addiction as they work on different areas of the brain. I remember reading a story about a heroin addict who used iboagne because he wanted to get high, but he came down from the trip and left his addiction behind him. Psilocybin has also been shown to help people give up smoking.
I honestly feel it
The fact that this guy remembers exactly 6 days ago 11 years shows how heavy the overdoses have been weighing on him. Man I hope one day you forgive yourself. It is not your fault.
I wish someone gave that guy a hug when he started crying, or atleast tell him it was okay to cry.
SAME! The way he had to push all of his emotions back, I wish someone would have just told him it is okay to feel :(

Alcohol is a drug
exactly
I know this addictions can be also bad but I think drugs, specially heroin, cocain, make physicall and mental damage much more quickly also they usually drive you to criminal life or criminal people that is an important difference.
MayoOnMyRicePls alcohol can be USED as a drug. Abused, etc. Although prescription meds vs vodka are two different things. You don’t go to NA if you are an alcoholic. You don’t go to AA if you use narcotics.

Supercharge 45 lol it’s so true though, prev heroin addiction. I’ve done it in the hospital.
The opioid crisis in the US is a direct result of uncontrolled (badly controlled, whatever) opioid medication prescription by unscrupulous or ignorant physicians. Many patients can move on once they are pain-free, but a lot end up chasing the delicious numbness.
Walter White did
I guess it is different for everyone. I have a condition that gets worse every now are then and I have been talking opioids for 2-3 months at the time ( this last time I am going through right now is already lasts for 5 months) but after my pain is under control I don’t have a need in opioids anymore. I am more addicted to not feeling pain then to the actual pills. I have a different experience with weed though, which I have a hard time to stop using but I still do mostly maintain the control over my marijuana addiction I guess 🤷♀️

Normally in this series the “cast” have great chemistry because they can relate but for some reason all these people seem almost distant and closed off.
not to stereotype but i can't imagine these people are having the easiest time socializing and acting like how "normal" casts do. their addictions didn't come from nothing. trauma might have changed their personalities over time to be more introverted.
I agree. This group was cold. Low level of compassion. The female wasn't acting right. When Jonathan got upset everyone just stood there. I proper didn't like this interaction. The only time they were united was the end when they started clappinh together
I got that vibe too
Emily Yyyy I think they just are very interpersonal
Chantelle G yeah and something like that is really hard to open up about, especially to strangers
I've been clean for 3 years but when she said the word "coke", brought up a craving. i think the biggest misconception with addiction as that its a past. no; its a past, present and future, an every day battle, occasional dreams. for me, the smell of a clean hallway with strong cleaning products to this day still brings up a craving. my dad always says you are never "no longer an addict"; you're an addict who doesn't do drugs.
"you're an addict who doesn't do drugs" SPOT ON.
in case you haven't heard it enough, I'm proud of you. you're doing amazing
Facts! Also, one of the hardest things is when people who have never suffered with addiction say things like “ oh why don’t you just not do it”, 😩 if I could just not do it do you think I’d be in the same position? No. I would be clean and sober like I’ve been trying to do for the past 7 years of my adult life. I find addicts are some of the most empathetic and kind people behind the addiction, the way addiction throws my morals away for a moment then I still have to deal with the consequences of my actions afterwards because I beat myself up keeps me in a loop and it’s so frustrating, my substance of choice is the same as yours and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Keep it up 👍.

KteaBee I can see why people would get addicted to heroin or any drug during in a hospital, I got my colon removed from surgery and they kept giving me doses of hydromorphone, and man that stuff rocked. Was getting it all day for 2 weeks (for the pain of course) and made me feel so good. But after getting out of the hospital, I wasn’t really going crazy for it thank goodness. I miss the feeling though.
It's literally one of the strongest receptors in the body, and over-prescribed! Most opioid addiction is from prescriptions which is saddening.
I was under anesthesia because I broke my foot at the growth plate (I'm Dutch and translate told me that this is how its called) and that stuff felt good. I can see why people get addicted to that stuff

@@arizonatea3734 FOR REAL people seem to think that just because it's legal that somehow makes it better for you than somethujg that isn't. Like cigarettes are a mix of the worst things u can pit into your body and they are legal.

14:00 "If I could live in rehab I would" damm that hit hard. To not trust your self that much I feel that.
I watched that 2 seconds after reading this :)
I think bc in America there’s not a free healthcare
@@pinkpink1522 so with a free healthcare you can live in a rehab?
@@floggyWM1 here in India, the family just need *one* doctor's signature on a sheet saying this person is a danger outside & boom, you're there FOR LIFE! I've met many people who eventually turned *actually mad* who've been there just because someone in their families decided it for them or they wanted their property/money.
I’ve never related to something so hard before. I’ve never been to rehab but between mental health and addiction there’s been times where I’ve been sobbing alone just wishing someone would check me into a facility so I could have some structure in my life and people to take care of me. The pandemic has been really hard for this reason, the lack of structure is slowly killing me.
Does anyone else feel like Jada is in a dangerous denial situation?
Dani EscC
She seemed pretty self aware to me. She might still be using, but she admitted it, recognized that she wouldn’t be able to turn down a line of coke, and acknowledged that she might not be totally ready to quit. She was on the agree side for the question about her addiction being her own fault. Her problems with the rehab industry were valid. Denial isn’t the word I would use. Dangerous is a different story.
I've seen many ppl come out of a dangerous addiction into non sobriety living with just casual drinking or smoking weed. I've seen way more ppl try this and fail because they either relapse eventually or alcohol/weed becomes the drug to fuel the addiction. So ya I think she's in a dangerous situation since she's clean from everything but alcohol but it's not impossible for her to be safe and mature about it. I don't think its denial but her road ahead of her most likely is going to either be weening off all substance use eventually or going back to harder drugs. She said her fav drugs are hallucinogens so idk why she doesn't do shrooms and go into the trip trying to look over herself and her addiction. A LOT of ppl find a shrooms/lsd/dmt trip once they commit to being sober or just want to be sober ends up helping them understand themselves and their addiction so much more. most don't go back for substances after. I'm even more surprised that she would continue to be an addict when hallucinogens usually promote healthy living unless u abuse them significantly and go into a psychosis or bad thought patterns.
she displays a victim mentality, full of excuses...
shes in addiction. thats the behaviour.
@@mikemagliozzi8160 I know many people who do hallucinogens all the time just recreationally, idk if they're addicted, but obviously some people get addicted....so what's the difference between a person who continues healthy living and those who get addicted...or what is even considered addiction vs regular usage
i hope Morgan stays strong he seems like a genuinely nice guy
Brad seems like he's on a high horse. Food addiction is definitely real and a problem but I don't think he was necessarily the best representation.
He was there to give his views from his personal experience and it is inevitable for not all people who suffer from this to feel he wasn't the best representation and that should be expected, Jubilee team faces a lot of pressure for ig "right" representation of people
Please keep comments like this to yourself. Just because his addiction doesn’t seem as grave as other you know doesn’t mean he struggles less.

@@Eggwithsubscribers-qm4tg Thanks bro. Video out soon maybe
I think although the guy in the army shirt deals w a food addiction, he doesn’t understand how drug addiction works and he doesn’t understand their experience. I don’t think this was the best video to put him in.
Victoria Bryan especially when he was talking about how “normal people don’t want to go to herion after getting pain reliever pills” , was so close minded. It upsets me so much
I think it's good that they included an addict that wasnt addicted to drugs, but maybe the group shouldve been more balanced and questions shouldve been more aimed at addiction in general. It was very drugfocused.
They should do eating disorders
Maybe they wrote the questions before they knew that he was gonna be there? But I'm not sure which they do first.
~:~
it‘s about addicts. So of course he‘s an important part of it. There aren’t just addictions to substance abuse. You can literally be addicted to everything, even love.
i agree that the food addict shouldn’t have been on this episode, but an episode about eating disorders
I find it interesting that the girl didn’t define herself as an addict and was also not sober. She said the programs didn’t work but also said she doesn’t want to get better.
That's called someone living in active addiction who's lying to themselves and trying to make themselves feel not guilty for not getting sober. Instead of I don't want too , it's there's no point that doesn't work . I tried this I tried that. It's always something other than the real reason .
exactly. if she doesn’t admit she has a problem she can’t fix it
@@meganm4304 She's aware of the fact she's not sober. She's just not at the stage where she wants to actually be sober. Idk what it takes for a person to get there or if you can do much about it. You have to inspire yourself to believe you deserve better.
she said MAYBE she doesnt want to get better since the programs didnt work for her and the guy said , youll get better only if u want to and she replied to that.... tf obviously she pointed out exactly what and why it didnt work for her
the guy in the grey shirt- explaining what its like when you become friends with people in recovery and then suddenly everyone around you starts dying. He worded it so well. I've lost so many friends to addiction, im only 21, and majority of them i met in treatment centres

The guy with a buzz cut and the white shirt seems like a chill guy, sad that these people are/were victims of addiction
@sarah kelley umm would it be recipient? No that's not right :/ Idk then, just the only word I could think of
@sarah kelley I think victim is alright to use because it's true. A lot of people starting to take drugs because they have problems and there is no way to deal with it in a better way and society doesn't help at all. So yes, I think people who are drug addicts are victims. It's their choice to start doing drugs but what else can they do when no one gives them any other chances to deal with their problems in the right way.
@Sarah Kelley wow. That's your opinion but I think that's a bit cold...he doesn't want help and why? Because he's addicted. Most people get addicted by something because they have problems they want to wash away and in a lot of situations, drugs seem like the only way out. You can force him into a mental hospital, a few people realise with this that they need help and are thankful in the end but some would be just angry. I was never addicted but I never accepted help with my mental illness and had to realise by myself that I won't come far if I don't work on it. It's not a happy topic but I would recommend to offer him help. Maybe just tell him "I'm always here for you" or call a 'help hotline' for people who don't know how to deal with people who abuse drugs. These people can help you and tell you what to do.
Don't blame it on the person, blame it on the world for not educating people enough about drugs so they try more to avoid them.
The only gateway drug that exists is trauma.
My friend, who is a trauma life coach, actually says this often. I think it is a powerfully true statement.
1 up this😭
but thats also the gateway to solving it 😄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
I think you’re weak minded if you let trauma decide your life
@@xaviersalazar9890 It shapes it whether you let it or not.
@@xaviersalazar9890 when trauma can lead to debilitating depression or substance abuse that does not in anyway make someone weak. They are struggling. Their struggles are valid and most people cannot cope when put through severe trauma. It's not a choice to be hurt. It's not a choice to be suffering. And it most definitely does not make someone weak.
*refers to heroin addicts as junkies*
5 minutes later: "calling someone an addict is offensive"
I think it’s safe to say they weren’t addicted to heroin lmao
"Junkie" isn't necessarily a pejorative term, it just means they use alot of dope and dedicate alot of time to it. I've known junkies that aren't addicts, and addicts that aren't junkies (who still use dope)

Morgan really tried to be nice to Brad and Brad just talked over him three times, not cool man... xd
Morgan seems like such a nice person, hes so real
I agree with everyone saying that morgan is great, but I just think brad seems like an anxious person and its probably difficult to be the only one representing food addiction especially because food addiction is less likely to be taken seriously especially when a man has an eating disorder. But food addiction is real and definitely super hard and im sad that people are implying otherwise in the comments (not you, just replying to you about his personality). Anyways yeah, he should be cognizant of other people speaking but a lot is going on at once including simply admitting such personal stuff about his addiction to the internet which has got to add to a layer of stress.
@@blank468 yeah, thats true, it must be really hard to have an eating disorder as a boy when society thinks that thats just a girl thing xd

Facts like why isn’t the comment section talking about him as much.
The guy in the camo ‘food addict’ pissed me off. How’s he using the word junkie and almost condescending the other people. Highly respected Jonathan and the bloke in the white t shirt.
I cannot get over the fact that the “food addict” says his addiction is “criminalized” at 9:06. It is literally not a criminalized addiction, the drug addicts are criminalized and are persecuted for their way of life.
he wasn't;t speaking literally, he meant that society thinks of eating disorders as a "girl thing" so no one ever took him seriously.
I know, it's absolutely insulting, people having their freedom taken away.
@@GriffinWelch Yeah, I know. Which is insulting, because he's saying how he feels "criminalized" by society, while other addicts ARE ACTUALLY criminalized and having their freedom taken away for a substance. It reminds me of this movie where Will Arnett, the rich snob kid, is put into a cell with a seasoned criminal, and he starts bugging because there's nothing to do, eventually asking the criminal what they do now. Criminal replies, "Have you ever heard of the expression, 'like a prison'?" in a facetious way. It's like that.
@@GriffinWelch I agree, and I completely sympathize with marginalized groups. There was a time in America where being gay was criminalized, and it still is in other parts of the world. They can join the ranks, and I still sympathize with those who aren't. Fact is, they don't have to hide as much, though. I've never been jailed for drugs, doesn't change the effects criminalization has had on me. Literal criminalization does not equal figurative.
@@movessmitt6427 Well you make a pretty good point yourself. I've never been jailed either, but I've certainly had to go to extreme lengths to exercise my freedom to smoke weed and experiment with other stuff. Lol.
I wish there were more than 1 female addict in this episode.
Why? None of the questions were gendered.
@@colei8752 But I feel like men and women cope in different ways sometimes. Yknow men feel much more opressed to share their feelings (generally) and women are "allowed" to show them
@@colei8752. Its not about the question being geared specifically to men or women. Its just the fact that men and women think differently and I'd have just like to have heard more women's points of view on this subject. We're all human and cut from the same cloth...but we think differently, we cope differently, heal differently, express differently and (often times) we were brought up and conditioned in life differently. I think its important that we hear both sex's views on this subject and all others. Gives the people at home watching a better chance of relating and when you relate to someone or something, you're more likeky to listen. So that's why ✌🖤🤟
Huh, I didn't notice the disproportion. I have attended group therapy for addicts a few months ago and as a matter of fact, men constitute the majority of addicts (at least from what I and the others observed there).
It's relative because there are more male addicts
I personally loved the idea of adding the person who's addicted to food. It shows the spectrum of addiction
Me too!
it doesn't show the spectrum at all. It included one other addiction, randomly. 4v1... drug addicts have extremely different consequences than a "food addict". I would love a "people with eating disorders" episode, but this felt so out of place. If they were going to include different addictions, all 5 of them should have had a different addiction. Drugs, food, sex, gambling, etc.
"criminalized" was a CHOICE of word to talk about food addiction when you're talking with people addicted to drugs in a country where there is a war on drugs that literally locks up ppl for having drug addictions
Yeah i’ve never heard anyone with an ED, even men like this guy is saying, saying that they’ve been crimitalized for their behaviors. That word is so loaded I wanna know more why he said that...because of stigma maybe, but still...?
@@selflove-vs-selfhate I think its because of the stigma. It seems to me that he simply meant to say that its very tabu for men to have eating disorders, which is true. Just very poor choice of words I guess
@@gabrieladalgalarrondo695 Yeah I agree and it’s def sad
I think he meant stigmatized
Yeah bro that was so whack wtf
Why is no one talking about Jonathan, his story over losing his friends is just heartbreaking and you can see he's really trying it.
Everyone is now
What do u want us to say? We watched the video. We know.
We shouldn’t deny that Brad (camo shirt) has an addiction, but we should acknowledge that he was really disrespectful and argumentative in this exercise
I totally agree. Personally, I just don't think that you can directly compare an eating disorder with drug addiction, even though both is very hard to deal with. Eating disorders just function differently
Agree
he doesnt have an addiction. he has an excuse.
Food addiction is very valid. Personally, I wish this video would’ve featured only one or two people struggling with drugs/alcohol and one with gambling addiction, one with porn addiction, one with self-harm addiction, because I think it would’ve helped she’d light on what types of addictions there are and how similar the issues really are. Instead, I think the dynamic was kind of awkward. Personally, I think It made the guy with the food addiction stand out too much and that doesn’t help the stigma about what are and what aren’t “real addictions”.
@@disconnected9023 Then so do the rest by your logic
the food addict really laughed after a real drug addict said “I do” when he said his “most people aren’t gonna do heroine when the come out of the hospital”
legit that’s how a bunch of addicts get addicted-
@@kasawdihunye6982 People get addicted to pills post-surgery. Almost no one gets addicted from one time morphine dose during surgery or whatever.
Yea that is literally how people move to heroin 90% of the time
@@artrobert0875 People from pills to H. Not morphine to H. You dont see every old lady with a hip surgery out the street looking for dope
@@GriffinWelch yea, because that old lady can get prescription opiates of any dosage basically given to her by her doc. the facts are that many people get addicted after being exposed to medical care.. whether its morphine thru IV or thru pills pre/post care.. are we really debating this?
Are you comfortable being labeled as addict?
Morgan: I don't give a F* what people call me.
I like this guy. lmao
I think I relate to him the most.. next to the flannel shirt gent
I related the most with the two guys with the tattoos. Most my answers were pretty much the same as theirs. & ooof the statement “I have lost someone to addiction” I instantly started crying. I’ve lost more friends than I can count. My ex boyfriend died and that was the worst loss of my life. & this weekend I lost a close friend. It doesn’t stop. It’s an epidemic out here right now.

Wow! I'm so sorry for your loss! Stay strong! You're doing so well
I feel like food addiction and drug addiction are different. Brad spoke a lot about drug addiction but hes never struggled with it.
Yes, addiction is addiction, but drug addiction and food addiction are very different so I don't feel he could have spoke on drug addiction or the others spoke on his food addiction.
soilgrasswaterair no I fully agree it is an addiction. And there is many things people can be addicted to besides drugs and eating disorders. Cutting, exercising, sex ext. They are all addiction even though it isn’t drugs, but they are also all different from each other and their addictions are all treated differently and recovery is different ext. I just feel a drug addict doesn’t really understand what it’s like to be a food addict and a food addict doesn’t really know what it’s like to be a drug addict. I’m not saying it’s not an addiction just that it would have been better to put him in either a group with other people who have food addictions that could better related to him, or they should have had a different addiction for each person instead of all drug addicts with one food addict.
soilgrasswaterair I agree with that and see what you mean, I just feel as if they where going to do a video where it was about how the core of addiction is the same with every addiction they should have had more then one person who wasn’t suffering from substance abuse.
@@soilgrasswaterair It is very different. I have so many loved ones who have dealt with or are dealing with addiction. A lot of addiction is just.. Personality. That fucked up bad hand you were dealt, upbringing, etc. give you an addictive personality. And it begins at a young age. Maybe they go through a sex addiction. Dabble in drug addiction. Eventually find a socially acceptable addiction. But say that person replaces their drug addiction with a video game addiction. The patterns and behaviors are still there. But one is a chemical dependency. So it is different. My point is some addicts will latch onto anything- even relatively healthy things. But as bad as it is it isnt deadly ya know. Even a non-addict can get addicted to heroin.
@@lunarlovegoodx3 what you're saying is so true. I sort of had that experience where I just go to different things with addictive behaviour. I grew up with a lot of misery so I'd constantly need something to escape. Like it'd be work. then it begins to feel not enough. so then I switch to sex. or even exercising. then it's not enough. so then I'd start drinking. Like it's literally latching on to anything. Drugs I purposely stayed away from because it felt too dangerous and I met people too who were too fucked up on it and i vaguely knew i had addictive personality. I thought I was playing it safe by using other means of addiction that seemed relatively healthy. Like I thought I was so smart and above it all. Even then it was a downward spiral because you start to put yourself into increasingly risky situations and it gets really destructive and dangerous and your mental health gets thrown into garbage. But it is definitely easier to come back from that kind of addictions than drugs cuz you have other parts of your life mostly intact and things are more recoverable. Drugs are really deadly and they work so much faster at killing you literally
My heart literally broken when Morgan said to Brad that addiction is not his fault at 3:47
The girl just keeps looking at the guy in the camo shirt laughing 😭🤣🤣 and I would laugh too cuz like I tought they where gonna talk about hard drugs but nah this guy talking about some Coffee 🤣
Eventually I couldn’t keep getting tattoos for everyone who passed away.
Whew.
I want to hug the guy in the grey shirt. I hope he stays strong.
The woman too. She seems like she's still struggling with her addictions.
Jubilee is definitely a top 10 ‘company’ TH-cam Chanel of all time
Not going to lie I usually love these videos and I get wanting a sense of variety when it comes to addiction, but I just don’t think guy in camo (brad???) belongs in this particular video. It really bothered me when he said “no one turns into a heroin junkie after pain pills” because he clearly doesn’t understand how opioid use disorder works. It can start in an office or whatever with pills and heroin is typically a cheaper alternative when pills are unavailable. He said some pretty ignorant things here and I feel what the other guys were saying as it seemed more productive. If anyone cares enough to read my opinion
1000%, I know many people who turned to heroin after using painkillers first
