kind of explain the story of Taylor Nicole Dean and Jonny Craig and
everything like that real quick disclaimer I do not know Taylor Nicole
Dean all right I make my videos to give some context to help all of you out
there either a you're somebody who struggles with addiction B you're
somebody in recovery from addiction or C you know somebody who struggles with
addiction alright so my videos are for you so I
don't know Taylor Nicole Dean I'm not a licensed therapist or psychologist but I
am somebody who is sellable just celebrated actually seven years of
sobriety my primary drug of choice was prescription opioids and I also worked
in a drug and alcohol treatment center where we specialized in mental health as
well I worked there for a little over three years I am now a certified sober
coach as well alright so that is where my experience comes in so let's talk
about weight slowly I will tell you Dean and Johnny Clegg and see what
lessons we can all learn from it alright so telling the Cody I have a lot of
people request me make videos on her she has like an animal channel she owns a
ton of pets and a lot of people ask me to make videos on like animal hoarding
and everything because there's been some issues with her and that in the past and
now that we know that she struggles with addiction this is something that is
possible like I am an addict right like I can get addicted to anything okay like
somebody food at times right like I can get locked in and focused on anything
and use it to an excess all right for some people they can also have a
shopping addiction or gambling addiction or like an animal
addiction alright anyways recently like maybe for three or four months ago maybe
um Taylor Nicole Dean ended up going to rehab it turned out that her boyfriend
Johnny craig introduced her to heroin okay and this is something that's very
very very common alright in relationships like it's it's common for
one person to do harder drugs and somebody else and then be like here why
don't you just try it because like here's the thing like most people don't
don't understand like most people don't wake up in the morning say yo I'm gonna
try some heroin today right but addiction is progressive and we might
start off with prescription pills or whatever like I'm very fortunate that I
never progressed a heroin but I could see being in somebody like Taylor Nicole
Dean situation we're like if my significant other was doing heroin about
oh well they're surviving like maybe I'll just try it one time especially
because most people try heroin from my experience when they're desperate right
like either they run out of pills or they're going through withdrawal so
maybe they can't afford the pills or whatever it is or just easily accessible
um heroin can also be a lot cheaper than
buying pills off the black-market Mike I didn't have Enchantix whoa girl
I was spending so much money on prescription pills many ways
Taylor Nicole Dean ended up going to rehab I came a member of Johnny Craig
did but anyways Taylor Nicole Dean came back and she
made this like video and a lot of people let me
know and I made a video explaining how proud I was of her and now like I didn't
know but now we do know but a lot of people were like I don't think she's
clean Chris like she looks like she's still like slurring and she might be
high and everything and like I'm an optimist I know maybe she's still clean
you know in early recovery it can be very difficult but the way she was
talking it seemed like she was going through an outpatient program so
typically for those of you who don't understand how treatment works most
people start out like at the detox level of kids and you'll do inpatient then
they'll do outpatient alright and this can depend how long you stay in each one
depending on like your health insurance or how well you're progressing with your
recovery like the treatment center I was working at we had all levels of care
from detox to inpatient to outpatient but outpatient is like the real test
that is the real test of your recovery because inpatient you are in this bubble
right your entire day is just about addiction recovery and that is it then
we go to outpatient you're either living at home or some people live in a sober
living house but you're like back transitioning into the world and still
getting like a minimal level of care right so it's I don't want to use the
word common but people do relapse in outpatient treatment so now Taylor
Nicole Dina's back so we can safely assume that she relapsed and went back
into treatment so something I want to discuss real quick a lot of people say
that you know relapse is part of recovery and just to clarify that like
yes I relapsed many times Taylor Nicole Dean she is relapsed many
addicts you know relapsed okay but here's the thing it does not have to be
part of your story the reason why I emphasize that so much is because I have
lost so many people so many people who went back out they used one time and
they died alright but it looks like it looks like Taylor Nicole Dean learned
some valuable things from this relapse and one of them is splitting up with
Johnny Craig so she kind of made that announcement
in this picture right here that she posted up on Instagram so it says I
asked ayam Hosey a month ago to write out these lyrics for me I never ever
imagined it would happen I wasn't surprised when I never heard about it I
reactivated my accounts yesterday after completing treatment for addiction and
leaving my toxic relationship this song and the lyrics happened to be what
inspired and motivated me to have the strength to do those things and she
happened to randomly send me lyrics yesterday night I have no clue how this
happened but it was truly like a gift for finally doing something I felt
powerless over doing for so long please don't copy this as it's so special to me
this was the best gift to celebrate my sobriety and started my new life got in
the buff my heart for a reason gonna add a little dagger to it later and yeah
like that's super cool she just posted a new video she got that she got the diver
on there but then anyways Jonny Craig ended up posting these pictures and he
said you know like he's taking a break but here's the thing okay so check it
stay with me now like one of the one of the main things like people don't
realize this especially when we're in our act of addiction we don't realize it
one of our main reasons that we're still using is because of our toxic
relationship it can be so hard to get clean and stay clean when your
significant other is still using and one of the reasons that many people like
Taylor Nicole Dean didn't leave him the first time but you want to go get
treatment right and I almost guarantee you I almost guarantee you that her
therapist or counselors or whoever was probably suggested that she leaves that
relationship and she didn't write that it's so difficult because the other
person still using and then you feel like you love them so something that's
really beneficial about addiction treatment and working with a therapist
like even if you didn't go to treatment I highly recommend like therapy because
many people with drug and alcohol addictions can also struggle with
codependency codependency was something I struggled with for a very very long
time and this can keep us in toxic relationships that lead us back to
relapse so it is so awesome of Taylor Nicole Dean to kind of get that clarity
finally and just be like okay like I have to leave this person
and this can be so difficult because if the other person is using it can make
you afraid because you feel maybe that if you leave them then they'll never get
cleaner they're gonna die it's something we all have to realize is we cannot make
anybody get clean and sober right our love cannot make somebody gets over
sometimes it's enabling them like for example like I didn't finally get clean
and sober until people started cutting me out so Taylor Nicole Dean leaving
that relationship might save Johnny Craig's life all right
but anyways as you saw Johnny Craig is obviously you know heart broke and
everything about this situation but here's the thing like don't ever let
somebody guilt you into that especially if you're trying to save your own life
like addiction is a life-or-death thing and when it comes to addiction recovery
we have to be selfish like you guys I have not been clean and sober for seven
years because I'm not putting my recovery first right my recovery comes
first and then it's like son girlfriend you know keeping the roof over my head
all these other things because if I don't have my sobriety I don't have
anything seven years ago I had a 10% chance of living all right
and like I just I really hope like even if you're not an addict or alcoholic in
recovery like just understand the importance of getting out of toxic
relationships and if anything be inspired by Taylor Nicole Dean to know
that you can leave a toxic relationship to improve your mental and emotional
well-being you have to put you first you can't save anybody and so many
people wait around for other people to change and it just doesn't happen and
sometimes you just gotta leave all right so really look within yourself and be
self-aware and know if this relationship is destroying your mental health alright
so anyways I hope everybody learns from this situation and I hope Taylor Nicole
Dean stays on the right track you know the last thing I'll say is I all we can
do after a relapse and getting help again is look back at all the things
that we refused to do the last time and switch it up this next
and she's already made a great step by ending that relationship now it's about
everything she has to do to avoid relapse in the future all right but
