Over 658 netizens on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform have shared their thoughts on the YouTuber's post. While one fan tried to understand what Patrick had said, others expressed concern for his well-being.

"for those who can’t read it “I’m an addict. My girlfriend’s going to hate this post. We die because of our sickness. When you go to the hospital, they just ask if you can handle withdrawing at five” (i think) i hope you get the help you need. you meant a lot to a lot of us growing up." X user @spill1nguts wrote. "Praying for you. Praying over what is speaking into your mind and telling you things that are not true about yourself" X user @AvionLukas commented. "i know the horrible hopeless feeling it is to be in this position. i’m almost 2 months sober and feel so much better! praying for your success!" X user @lilcombmusic said. "Take care of yourself Pat.. I know you’re strong enough to get past this, just lock in and focus my guy, get some help and supports, people who will help support you when you need.You’re never alone Pat. Never alone." X user @MorbidDuck6966 replied.

PopularMMOs addressed the community in September 2025 after four months of sobriety

After four months of sobriety, on September 26, 2025, PopularMMOs updated the community via a YouTube video titled Alcohol DESTROYED My Life. While reflecting on a video he filmed in January, during which, according to him, the situation looked "terrible," Patrick stated:

"Okay, guys, I just watched a video of myself that was on my phone from January. And, guys, as most people know, I am an alcoholic, and I tried to make a video talking about it, trying to help people, and trying to show my journey. Went terrible, honestly. It is so difficult. But right now, guys, I am four months sober, and looking at the video, I look like a completely different person. Honestly, I'm making this part of it so I don't jumpscare you, because it looks terrible. Oh, my god! And I'm going to leave it uncut, too, because it shows just, like, how ill I was. Like, I almost threw up on myself in the video."
