The way Ian looks at Chris the whole time he talks is so sweet.
Dayum, didn't know I was gonna cry 😥
ikr! i started crying bc of ian..
It’s so sweet
he's a great listener and not to mention when he started to talk. the first time i watched them i was like "Is he a psychiatrist?". I LOVE THEM
@@kiel56 he kinda is lol
You can tell Ian is good in communication because he is facing Chris the whole time, meaning giving Chris all his attention, doing eye contact and nodding (means he is letting Chris know he is listening). Ian also asks questions to make Chris clarify to understand him better.
Seeing Ian get emotional with you just shows how much he loves you Chris. Y’all are the best much love 🤍🤍
I’m only 2 mins in, but I had a type of intervention just before Christmas for self harm. I’m now 60 days clean as of today. So so proud of you and anybody else who may be on this journey, at whatever stage 🖤
so proud of you ❤️
So so so very proud of you !!!
Sending u a huuuuuge virtual hug 🥺
Yess purr, i am prada you 💙
@@ianpaget2.0 and I’m so glad you talked about how you don’t need to have the biggest problem to HAVE a problem and deserve help. That’s so important and something I personally and I’m guessing a lot of others have struggled with 🖤
When they started crying i started crying
Such an important video! Congrats on your sobriety!
Peter! Long time fan. Saw this and instantly made me think about you!!
Was not expecting to see your name here lol
Peter monn❤️❤️❤️
Ahhhh hi Peter!
I FREAKING LOVE PETER MON!!! Such an Iconic Queen!!!
Chris: Cuz I always feel weird talking about my past
Ian: No you don’t 🥰
I would love to see these two grow old together and have kids. Imagine how blessed their kids will be.
Or imagine one of the children arguing with Ian:D
@@kathiii581 Haha exactly and I hope they film it and put it on youtube
@@staceycasta yes please, or at least just do a story time about funny moments:))
Kids howww???
@@marquise400 adoption?
Ok at 9:10 when they look at each other and start crying🥺 so very proud of you ❤️
I still remember my intervention. I've been clean for 15 years and can still remember how low and alone I felt. The intervention helped me realize that I wasn't as good at hiding my addiction as I thought I was. Thank you for sharing your experience. You're amazing.
im so proud of you!
I am so proud of you!!
YOU are amazing. Thank you for sharing 💜
@@ianpaget2.0 ❤❤❤
Ian becoming so emotional about a time that he wasn’t actually in Chris’ life shows multiple things. One, Chris continues to be a phenomenal, honest communicator of events and feelings and pretty much everything so you can feel what he was going through even when he’s just recounting it years later. Secondly, their love for each other is so deep and raw that Ian is so affected by just thinking of a time when Chris was hurting emotionally and struggling even though we are years removed from the traumatizing events he’s talking about. I love these 2 so much❤️
I've typed and deleted what I thought I wanted to say so many times..... All I can say is THANK YOU!
LMAO Ian calling him out at the beginning
But thank you for sharing! 🤍🤍💕💕 ur inspiring
You know his roommate loves him more than anything. She was willing to risk him hating her for life just so he could live his.
So proud of you. My boyfriend passed away from a drug overdose at 23. It always makes me happy to see someone whose struggled with addiction recovering and thriving. Thank you for sharing your story.
I know this is late but I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m a recovering addict myself, been clean for about 5 years. I know what you went through with him was hard. Hope you’re doing well!
@@brandonchambers963 Thank you so much for this comment. It’s never easy. I miss him like crazy sometimes. Congrats on getting sober. That’s amazing! So proud of you! 🖤
I want an Ian in my life. His eye contact, his communication. IS MORE VALUABLE THEN GOLD.
You will get someone nice like him👍😊 all the best
I love that your roommate was willing to lose your friendship forever to help you. That's so special to have someone like that in your life.
My husband’s turning point was when he passed out in the recliner and left our newborn baby sleeping on the couch. I heard baby crying for like 5 straight minutes so I was like ok well, I’ll just get up and nurse if Daddy’s not getting a bottle, and that’s what I found. Sometimes you just get so used to it and don’t realize how deep into it you really are, until something serious pulls you out of it. So happy for you and proud of you, Chris! ❤️
omg i love you
Love ya🥺
You are loved 🧡
Love you 🤍 bless you!
wow.. that’s really powerful. For me, both my parents were struggling addicts up until I was 7 / 8. They had a lot of moments when they nearly stopped, but what did it for them was when my almost 2 year old brother called me “mom” because I was practically the one raising him full time. It’s tough on both ends. But once you’re out of the loop it’s one of the best things to happen to you and the family around you ❤️
When Ian started crying listening to him🥺🥺
That was the hardest day of my life! I love you so much, Christopher. Thank you for shining your light to help others.
Thank you for doing this for him! I’m sure everyone is so grateful he was so strong and recovered
thank u
I watched this as I was drinking a bottle of vodka because my depression is so bad. This video alone made me stop. I’m still depressed and crying but the bottles down.. but thank you Chris for sharing, it’s hard to get by anything, substances are definitely a issue with myself but I’m hoping if I rewatch this whenever I drink and I’m depressed, the bottle goes down.. thank you so much❤️
Hey honey you will overcome.. You are stronger than your depression.. Hugs from Kenya🇰🇪🥰🥰
you got this babe! i know we are total strangers but thank you for opening up the world. weather you’re religious or not, God has a plan for you. always go back to this amazing video when you need it. they are a beautiful couple
Thanks for sharing. You can do this, stay strong 💛✊🏼
i am SO proud of you. That is a HUGE step
Hey. Love you bitch. It’ll be okay.
the way Ian looks at Chris. Is the way you know that they’re in love. Crying together. ✋🥺 They’re so good for each other.
Chris, I know how vulnerable it is to tell your story to the world. I cried as I admired your incredible strength through the hardest years of your life. I just want you to know that I am so endlessly proud of you. You are an inspiration to me and so many people. Not only did this teach me about addiction, but it taught me about the importance of family. Thank you Chris. You are incredible and I love you so so much❤️
Thank you for making this. I needed to see this perspective in this exact moment to be able to understand certain situations that are being presented in my life. I can imagine how hard it must have been for your family but you overcoming that is so powerful.
It really is amazing that the people u were surrounded with recognized your problem and cared enough to help u a lot of times that isn’t the case
Oh... You are so brave and see Ian cry for you is just beautiful you passed thought all of this to be happy and we are proud of you... 🪐👑✨💙
I felt this so much. Thank you for sharing as you know, this helps keep people sober. I’ve been in and out of addiction my whole life, and when I had my daughter, my family reminded me what I have and what I can lose because I had another relapse/episode.. I love you for this thank you for your strength❤️
I feel like even though I’ve never gone through this, it’s so easy to emotionally connect with you. You are such a genuine human.
Ian comforting you is so sweet, you definitely found your soulmate
I’m one of the “silent followers” who just likes and follows , but I wanted to say thank you for this video. I felt every feeling you described. God is good . So happy you are who you are !
I am insanely proud of you! It takes a lot of courage to take that step and I’m so proud!
I am just so happy that you two were on my For You page couple of weeks ago and you give me so much motivation bc online classes and stuff are really hard for me at the moment and I am so thankful to “know“ you❤️
i’m right there crying with the both of u. i’m so proud of u chris🖤 i’ve been there and it’s such a hard thing. but look at us now.. thriving. and we can be a voice for others going through the same thing
I absolutely LOVE you guys, your silliness, rants etc but what i love most is your emotional openness & ability to share so sensitively and inspiringly the seriously hard parts of your life. thank you so much for sharing this with us! There's so much power in sharing this; your story will absolutely help others and we're constantly moving towards eradicating stigma attached to mental illness and embracing the whole spectrum of emotions we feel, not just positive.
Literally every person going through anything needs to see this
thank you so much for sharing, i know it can't be easy. seeing your growth and how you glow now is so amazing. so much love to you both!!!!
Chris- thank you so much for sharing this. My sister is 37 and an addict. As hard as my family tries to support her going to rehab and help to make that a reality, I just don’t know if I will ever see the day that she becomes clean. I pray everyday that I do and that she finds the strength to surrender her need to control this one thing that so desperately mis-serves her. Weird coming from a stranger, but I’m so proud of you and happy for you and your sobriety. Wishing you the VERY best of everything. 💖
i’ve always seen interventions on the tv but i never really thought about it from your prospective. you really did open my eyes. you’re very strong and very inspiring❤️
This is so beautiful. I couldn't be more proud of you. SO inspired by you, I love you so much
This really hit home..cant believe how emotional 😢 i got watching...thank you so much for sharing.
Ian is es perfect example of. “Listen to me” look like. ♥️ he felt & hear & understood.
I went through something so similar , around the same time. And he’s right. I’ve told the story 6868 times but rarely get emotional. I just relived my “moments” in my head and cried like a baby. When you’ve been here and you’ve come out on the other side - it is almost impossible to fathom that this used to be you. So glad you shared this and so glad I watched it
thank you for talking about this, happy that you were able to get the help you needed
thank you so much for sharing ♥️ found myself tearing up & had chills so many times. so happy that you got better and created this lovely life for yourself. i went through something kind of similar with one of my younger siblings and it really is so heartbreaking seeing someone you love go through something like that. they came out on the other end too ♥️♥️
ians right, just the visual of all your close family in a room there to confront you that way is so emotionally powerful it had me crying to.
OMG...all the tears. I can feel your pain remembering this time in your life. I'm so happy that I found you two to follow. Live in your light and you are so wonderful.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! It honestly helped me I can relate on so many levels. I've been through exactly what you went through. Your story literally gave me chills. Proud of you and your work
I had to go through this process with my mom. sitting there and telling her I couldn’t see her like that anymore, and that she basically had to choose drugs or life one of the hardest things i’ve ever had to do, but so very grateful I did it and i’m grateful you shared this too. thank you
You two have such a beautiful loving and respectful relationship. I teared up watching Ian get emotional because I can just see and feel how much he cares.
My dad went through rehab when I was in my early teens/preteens. Hearing this is like hearing his side of what happened. I know it only gets better for you
So happy you got help! Thank you for sharing!
I don’t think I’ve ever been moved so greatly by a yt video before and I don’t even have anyone in my life that’s an addict so that just goes to show you how much I love your guys’ love & the graciousness of your sister!! I mean wow. really beautifully told, Chris
Just imagining how many of your friends and family members are so proud of you and what you have accomplished with this journey! Truly inspirational my king!!!
why’d I decide to watch this in a middle of an existential crisis
Thank you for sharing, I struggled with addiction from the age of 15-16 and I overdosed last summer and almost died. It’s great you are showing awareness for addiction. Anyone reading this I promise things get better, please get help before it’s too late.
This was so beautiful to hear and see the emotions of the two of you. Thank you so much ❤️ beyond thankful you shared this. I needed this video more than you know 🥺
The way Ian looks at Chris the whole time melts my heart. That is true love.
Chris, thank you so much for sharing your story. Showing your vulnerabilities and how you conquered them is a powerful thing.
The amount of people you are helping with this video is immense. You are an incredible human!
Sending love to you both! #myfavecouple
this video was beautifully put together and inspiring and i am so incredibly proud of you. you have been such a light in my life, and will continue to be regardless of where you may end up. you are unforgettable, i love you.
I adore you both. Your videos instantly perk me up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a dark place, then watched your videos, and just felt better. No, I wasn’t magically okay. I was still broken, but you gave me reason to smile. Hearing the journey you went through...I just hope you’re incredibly proud. It takes so much strength to win a battle with addiction. And, look at you now! Making millions of strangers all over the world laugh, smile, and cry with you. You have such a huge impact that you wouldn’t have had you not went through what you’ve went through and made it out on the other side. Sending so much love to you both. ❤️
Wow.
Thank you for sharing this part of your story with us. Yet another reason why I love you two. You guys put yourselves out there in so many different ways in the hopes that it either brings joy to someone and/or helps them through a hard time and I'm in awe of how frequently you two do that willingly.
As a writer and English major, I’m all about “telling your story” in the hopes of helping other people and I love how you just embody exactly that.
Though the common “couple cuteness/fame” is what introduced me to you two, I’m so happy that I now see that as only a smaller portion of why I love you both so much. You both are so beautiful in your own ways and it’s so beautiful to keep watching your story while also feeing like I’m apart of it (If that makes sense lol). ❤️❤️
I also hate my voice when I cry so I know exactly what you're talking about haha.
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing this story
My dad struggled with addiction basically my whole life. He did rehab 3 times and then ended up taking his own life thinking it would be better for us. So happy you overcame you addiction❤️❤️❤️
Aw 🥺 you’re strong for sharing 💕
So important to share this story. Thank you for being a strong voice.
Thank you for sharing your story! I´m sure that there are people that need to hear it in order to maybe get the help they need. You are loved and you have value
I love how much Ian really cares and listens to every word🥺💗 such a strong relationship, thank you for sharing the hard parts of your life with us!
Can we acknowledge how well you explained you past issues. You explained them with UNDERSTANDING of why you would drink. Not knowing how to release emotions earlier in life is a huge reason so many people may have a similar issue! It’s way more common then we admit & I can tell you are HEALING! God bless you guys. & Ian’s communication skills are PHENOMENAL.
Thank you for sharing this. I always need reminding that people may be going through personal issues that I am not aware of. Definitely helps me do my job better.
My uncle dealt with drugs for most of his childhood, and this hit close to home. Thank you for sharing your story
Wow. So strong🥺
Remember: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!
God bless you
Everyone in life needs an Ian. How different life would be to have someones support like that. Chris thank you for sharing this, you are so strong and brave! I'm so happy you are in recovery❤️❤️ edited to add I'm happy to see in the comments I wasn't the only one crying like a baby with you all.
So proud of you for sharing this and Ian getting so emotional really struck a cord with me. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and telling your story. I’m glad you’re here.
Respectful of your honesty. Reassuring to see how far you have come and that you have such a positive relationship. Great example for others but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Focus on your blooming... xxx
I hate seeing you cry. However I am so touched. I am so proud of you for going and getting sober. I absolutely love you so much. I love you for being so strong, and an amazing person. You are seriously a role model for so many people including me. I really hope one of these days I can meet you. I was diagnosed HIV+, after being raped and thought of myself as a nasty person. I felt so gross, that for a year straight, I never looked in the mirror. Already having Bipolar disorder and PTSD. That was the icing on the cake. It wasn't until I saw you on TikTok that I started to finally realize my worth, "and focused on my blooming" that I started to love myself. Seeing this video... just makes me so happy that there are people out there like you to look up too. I love you so much Chris and Ian. You have no idea, that you helped save me. Plus credit to my boyfriend who stuck beside me lol. But thank you so much for sharing. Thank you so much for being so inspiring.
Thank you so much for sharing this heartbreaking, yet powerful life story of yours! I think I can speak for all of us that we love you (both) and we'll always be here for you! I cried for almost the entire video!
I’m balling! This was so strong for you to do! Ugh! Thank you for sharing! You’re so strong! So many people love you 💖💖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a very raw emotional video that took your inner strength in order to relive this episode in your life. Congratulations on getting help, as I wish you both the very best of what life has to offer. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
you both are so strong. so much love :)
I’m so incredibly proud of you. It’s never easy to come to terms with your going through including alcolisism or drugs or anything. It’s very hard but your very strong to be sharing something so tough
Thank you for opening up, sharing, and being vulnerable!! 💗
The look of support between the two of you was beautiful
Stay strong and sober sweetheart, do it for the ones you love but most importantly do it for yourself!🥰
You're so strong Chris ❤ Sharing this is going to help so many people and I'm so glad you're sober and happy now. We love you!
You’re so brave. Thank for sharing your story and your love for one another. Your both lights the world always needs! 🥰
The way you looked at Ian was genuinely the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. To seen Ian hold back tears to lend you his strength is amazing.
When I tell you I *sobbed*. Thank you for sharing. It must have been so painful to relive.
Chris, you sharing this is so strong and beautiful. These are the kinds of stories of real pain and challenge and recovery that people need to hear, and I thank you for being vulnerable. Also, having been in relationships with poor communication and great communication, I can see Ian is really such a great partner to you, validating and listening, and I know that goes both ways. It's beautiful to see.
I’ve only seen a couple of your tik toks but even so, I thank you for opening up! This is a story I will hold in my heart and remember if I know someone going through this again.
i love this and i’m so proud of you, chris. i also just wanted to point how ian starts crying at about minute 7 but makes sure that chris keeps going and doesn’t try to make it about him. (idk if that makes sense, but it’s so sweet how supportive they are) ❤️
Such a good example of giving space and support.
Thank you so much, I really needed this. I'm a recovering heroin addict I am 310 days sober, and my friends and family saved my life as well. I commend you for all your hard work, I know it's hard. ❤💖💜❤💖💜❤💖💜❤💖💜❤💖💜❤💖💜❤🙏😻
Congratulations! :)
I just woke up, then you made me cry so much. I thank you for your sharing it means so much to me ❤️
This is an amazing story, I love how strong your family is and was at the time. My brother needs something like this but he will not accept that he needs help and its so hard watching him over the years abuse his body through drink and drug and its heart breaking. I only hope we r able to help and support him like ur family did with u. Thank you for sharing this part of ur life. xx
We're all so proud of you, Chris! It's so amazing to see someone who is able to overcome addiction. My brother and I tried talking to our dad recently and he didn't hear us...but this gives me hope that one day he might. Love you guys!
Keep having faith and strength! Don’t lose hope 🤍
good luck and a lot of health for all of you
What a testimony ! Thank you for sharing , you always here about rehab but you hear about the lead up to it , xxx
You are so loved!! Thank you for making yourself vulnerable and bringing hope to others. ❤️❤️❤️
8 years clean here!! Glad you made it out. Thanks for sharing xoxo
So proud of you
proud of you!
i’m so glad you were able to come out of that. a lot of people aren’t as strong and lucky to do so. so proud of you, chris!
ps: i’m sorry if that was offensive in any way; i haven’t been through something like that lol
i’m so so proud of you!! you’re such an inspiration thank you so much for sharing this! i love you both❤️
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability like this, it’s so important. What a painful experience. It’s hard to accept that loving someone in your family so much can lead you to the most painful, difficult moments of trying to help them, only to gain some growth. I’m going through something like this with a family member and it feels so impossible sometimes. Your story is so meaningful 💛
gays being vulnerable and overcoming we love to see it 🥺
