My friend is currently in rehab and I am so proud of her because she understands she was not ok. And I am so proud of how far you ve come. You are such an inspiration.

So glad you found your way back. I tried so many times to put the bottle down but the day my now wife got pregnant I've not picked it up since, 12 years on. Therapy for my PTSD has helped me along with my kids.

One is to many and ten is never enough!!! THats the truth about any addiction. I am a recovering addict myself. I have been clean for 8 years now. I do not drink or any drugs, but at times it gets tough. What i love about you janet is your willingness to speak the truth hoping someone else will hear what your saying and maybe go to rehab or doctor or whatever it takes for their addiction. Your a Boss, Never lose that about yourself, its hard to find these days!!! You are a beautiful human!!!!

I spent 6 months in Ark House Rehab, saved me from my self, found the rooms on leaving, and now have the privilege of working in the very same rehab for the past 9 years, I'm very blessed to have this in my life today, thank you for speaking on this subject, 🙏

As someone who's lost their mum at a young age, and felt similar things to you... Your mum will never be disappointed with you/ in you. ❤️ I'm so proud you got the help you needed. I'm still working on myself and my problems.

My heart goes out to you Janet. We've all lost lovely people. I lost my high school sweet heart after 37 years of marriage to cancer. Spent the last 4 years recovering from grief. Like you, I finally escaped the 'bubble' of emotionlessness and can 'feel' life again. So glad you found help, friends and life again. I wish people would have been there for me. Thank you so much for continuing to give of yourself to help others. I'm absolutely thrilled to see you happy and healthy. You inspire me. Thank you.

After watching this amazingly honest and eye opening video; I am finally beginning to understand why I never want to stop supporting you. You give me strength. When I think I am having a bad day I just remember all that you have overcome and count my blessings. And I pray you never need rehab ever again. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You make a difference. 🙏

Glad that you've shared this. It's important for addicts your age to see that they are not alone and that there is a way out. You mentioned it in that you were glad to have people your age there with you. Keep sharing, you save two lives - your own and the person's that is ready to hear what you have to share.

You are amazing at taking what is rooted in pain and trauma and transmuting it into joy and victory. What a beacon of light!

Janet :) I have been a fan of yours since the X Factor days and have been following since. Thank you for sharing this video and being so real. This is going to touch and encourage a lot of hearts. Bless you! Keep up all the good work. Love and Light.

Thanks for talking so openly about it! It’s great to hear you tear down some of the stigma of rehab and describe it as a place that can help you change for the better! 💙

I adore you so much for posting this Janet! I went to rehab for drug addictions at the start of 2020 and it was amazing for so many of the reasons you described. The closeness that you form with other addicts is like nothing else and you made me laugh so much remembering silly adventures and ways we were treated like children. I'm also really happy that you expressed the severity of benzodiazepine addiction as it's one of the most insidious yet dangerous, as in the withdrawal can actually kill you. And this isn't as widely known as it should be. I'm so proud of you and I know how difficult this is 💚💚💚

Always great to hear your stories Janet. Makes us all feel more human. I really thing that the world tends to surround us with just what we need. You got us, and, we got you!

Janet, thank you for sharing...i have a good friend who went through rehab and has completely turned her life around. They also had counseling which made all the difference. You've given so much to so many thorough your music and videos.

You are so so amazing I am so sorry that you have gone through all that you have. I would never imagine that someone who has your voice and is as beautiful as you are would have the issues that you have had. I have been a fan since I first heard your voice. Please continue your fight and never give up. We as fans are here for you. Thank you for being you and keep up the great work.

Watching this I cried, I laughed, and I learned more about you and life in general. I struggle with mental health issues that I still don't fully understand but your video helped me see there is a reason to keep fighting. Thank you for sharing what you have been through, hearing this has sincerely helped me WANT to get better. You are incredible, thank you for being you and sharing that with the world.

I'm so glad to hear about ur recovery and hope to see u happy and healthy. I deal with anxiety and panic disorder and that is making my mental health go down but I'm coming back up. If u need someone to talk to as a fan since American Idol, I'm always here.

Your candor is refreshing. Your strength is inspiring. Thank you for being.

How wonderful life is, that you're in the world... Just discovered you girl. I always wanted to be a singer... BE STRONG.

My brother is currently in rehab praying he gets help and stays sober this video definitely makes me so happy and gives me so much hope for him thank you so much everyone please pray for him 🙏❤️
