I quit a massive 100k a year cocaine habit cold turkey 13 years ago, I quit smoking 4 years ago, I stopped drinking beer 8 months ago and lost 30 pounds. I still do drink a bit, usually no cal or carb. vodka sodas... I'm always still fighting the battle as well...
I was a 15 year opioid addict and could not find a way out. I found nova rockafeller first as a musician and then led me to tom. After hearing this song I finally found the motivation I needed to FIGHT and get past my demons. I'm currently 7 years sober and still listen to this song every morning to remind me that I AM STRONG and that I am not alone in this fight.
Addiction is a struggle even after you get sober. H.O.G. Fam has helped me during my low days. This song hits me pretty hard every time I hear it. Keep up the good work S.B. I love your vids.
Thank you for this reaction, please never let any unprofessional unconstructive criticism change anything on how you do your reactions, they're so wholesome, pure and cherished!
Currently in rehab best thing that's happened to me. I'm learning to get my life back, learning to get my PTSD under control learning to manage my thoughts, feelings, behaviors. Learning how to be honest and assertive. But mostly I'm learning. And I'm reuniting with my kids
Stay with it. Been at it myself for many years. Never quit learning its a great thing. Through this learning process the greatest reward is your kids. It will be worth it. Stay strong yourself first and everything else will fall in place.
I never had an addiction with any substances, but I did have an anger problem. I have to always be conscious of myself to not allow it to surface again. But I know a few that this song really speaks to and it helps them stay straight.
Madchild was a member of a Canadian rap group called Swollen Members when he was younger, I'm not really familiar with them, but apparently they were a pretty big deal, in Canada at least.
Bruh... I remember them from Matt Hoffman Pro BMX 2. Can't believe I knew Madchild before Tom Macdonald. Now I want to go back and find the rest of Madchild's music.
Yes are either it defeated them sadly that's why some disappeared. Nova puts a lot of work in their videos to represent the word's. True talent the both of them
Another great reaction. And don't worry about people complaining that you pause too much - a lot of reactors seem to have that problem. And honestly, you repeatedly pausing to give us your thoughts is way better than the reactors that just sit quietly through the whole song and don't have much of anything to say.
5:34 Your avatar's face was priceless! I too have had a loved one in induced coma to recover from alcohol withdrawal. Hopefully your dad was able to at least slow down after that. Sadly, my loved one didn't and committed suicide several years later. To anyone who's made it out, you are so incredibly strong and worth it. Keep fighting!
One of the hardest songs from Tom to watch and listen to is Withdrawals which gives you a real insight into Tom's struggles with addictions Two other songs are Cancer and Church that pull at the heartstrings If you want to understand the connection between Tom and The Hangovergang I would recommend My Fans it's a long video but we'll worth the reaction I'm glad to see your channel growing your doing a great job reacting Much love from the Hangovergang and to my fellow HOG Fam ❤
There are a lot of cross-references in Tom's songs; The car crash is referenced in "Scars" (he mentions scars in "Sober"), and is physically depicted in "Fighter" (referencing "never surrender" in "Sober"). Mad Child, who had a huge career in Canada, mentions winding up homeless in "Bad News" (Tom let him crash on his couch). Tom shows himself in the throws of withdrawal in his song "Withdrawals." All songs I highly recommend.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. My dad was the same way. I swore I would never be like that, then I drunk my first beer at 12 and it was all downhill from there. Put in jail literally more times than I have fingers and toes. Nothing helped until my daughter was born and I got pulled over drunk with her in the car, I got 45 days in county. That stopped my drinking but I found many substitutes, went to smoking crack for a couple of years. Then realized I had to stop that too. I moved states to get away from it. It worked, until I found oxycodone, that was a different animal I had never faced before. After a few years of that garbage I had to stop that too, I found heroin. I died 3 times and was brought back. My best friend died and didn't come back. I thought I could handle them all but couldn't handle any. I am almost sober now. But I live alone and have no friends to influence my choices. I know it's not good but I inject meth a couple times a week and smoke my pot but nothing else. I just had to share this with you. Addiction has been in my life since I can remember. I'm really not a bad person, I make bad decisions. I feel so low sometimes that bad things cross my mind as to a permanent solution but I could never do that to my daughters and grandkids. They alone should be enough to get myself right, but unfortunately they are not. Tom has kept me from going out at times, given me reasons to not do certain things. I look at it like he helped save my life. I know I'm not the only one Tom has made a difference in their lives. I keep praying that I will just leave from here and not have to face that every morning but I keep waking up. Maybe one day he will answer my prayers. Didn't mean to write a chapter but didn't know else to explain it. I'm loving your reviews and your voice comforts me in some strange way, not a creepy way 🤣🤣🤣 in a good way. I know everyone has heard "Drugs are bad" they just don't tell you how bad. They take your life and take you away from the ones who love you. I can't find any words of encouragement because their not many.
It amazes me the details that you catch that I never noticed and have not heard in any other reactions. Not only about the song, but the visuals, like the woman and the cup. 🙂
I am so thankful and blessed to not have to struggle with addiction (Drug Addiction, we all have some sort of addition). I thank GOD for keeping me safe and away from that.
Everyone has a different bottom, some more extreme than others. 90 % of addiction is mental that last 10% is physical, this is when it becomes life or death issue. I always flirted with crossing that line but never going over. After two years of being a homeless drunk and addict. I decided to join the service. Best 7 years I ever had. Service, rehab, AA and God has changed my life for the better. Love your thoughts and reactions. Keep up the great work and thankyou for being you. Never change that 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
Tom and Nova had a rough life. They have both been through a lot. These two should be an inspiration. Dear Nova gives you a glimpse into her life. I've never been addicted to anything, but this hits hard. #HangOverGang #NovaRockafeller
as someone who's still in active addiction since the age of 21. Now at 33 ive spent over a million dollars on addiction. Finally trying to get help but its so hard with my insurance which is prolly just another excuse im telling myself I just need to try harder.
As someone who was addicted to every pills out this song always hit hard took getting caught robbing a family friend to realize i need help been sober for 15 years now and every day is a battle
Another great reaction. I am not sure about Nova. I think she drank but wasn't as hardcore as Tom or Madchild. Tom has another song about addiction called "Withdrawals" that is real good too. Have a great rest of your week! PS: Madchild is a Canadian rapper. He is or was part of the Vancouver-based hip hop group Swollen Members.
Pissing in bottles, it's when you're fkd up enough or whatever and don't even want to get up to go to the bathroom, which if in a mansion or whatever idk, but I've done before, I've gone out my window too lol, but yeah it's just convenience I guess, nothing real complex about it, mainly just not going to the bathroom like normal people
keep em comin, an the pausing is just fine, it shows you are actually trying to listen an udnerstand the song, as opposed to some that just bob their heads for a reaction pausing just enough so YT wont ding them, and just wanting the views, which is still fine, still people hearing the message that might not of in those cases, but in your case doin an amazing job! also didnt notice the cup myself, prob diff sessions and the disappearing ppl, probably those that relapsed as you said and/or ended up succumbing to their addictions, since it is a life long struggle only thing ive had to quit is weed, did that when i was younger, but quit "cold turkey" in quotes cuz it wasnt anything with withdrawls, not like other drugs or the niccotine in cigarrettes which cause the addictions to them
Good artists will expose a small part of their soul. The GREATs put it all out there. Everthing is exposed... the good the bad the ugly. This makes them relateable to so many going through the same strugles. A hugh part of their sucess is accountability. They don't blame others. They own their decisions and mistakes. This is a key component for recovery. What an inspiration & role model for others. #HOG4Life Video Liked/ Subscriber...... Do "Angles" Next????
While not the most lyrically talented or cinematically stylish song of his, this one holds a special place in my heart. This song helped a couple friends of mine stop using pretty much every drug out there (it was a REALLY long process). It took 3 or 4 years, but they're finally clean of Meth, cocaine, pot, and booze. Of course, it was a process of eliminating 1 at a time. Basically I helped them get off of Meth by detoxing them in my living room (that was a long couple days and a couple buckets of vomit later). After the meth crash, they tend to get a little violent. The coke habit was the hardest one though. Pot helped even them out while we were getting rid of the harder habits so I let that one go for a little while (sometimes you gotta pick your battles). Once you get them stable though, the pot wasn't nearly as hard for them to let go. They're now functional human beings. I won't say wealthy human beings, but they're not a massive drain on society anymore. I love them and they know it by my actions.
Are you "in real life" as cute as your digital self in these videos? Your voice is very calming. I like your reactions very much. Trust me, I'm not a stocker! Your reactions are just a breath of fresh air! No what I mean?
Most definitely here for this! This song helped in some of my hardest times, I had addiction issues that I was working on and I lost my daughter while I was trying to heal…. Made it even more complicated none the less and this song helped me a lot. Dax is another great artist who helped during this time. I know you don’t like rap per day but there are some great artists with great messages for their fans. Tom was the one who converted me to liking some rap as well, now I have a handful or two of rap artists that I support whole heartedly.
Alcoholism runs in my family. By the time I was old enough to actually buy it, I couldn't remember how many times I had gotten drunk. My metabolism changed and 3 beers could get me drunk. I managed to get on top of it by only allowing myself 3 shots every year at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve. But, the temptation is always there to add another.
Think of it this way, if you didn't pause to discuss something.... does it mean the video didnt inspire you to think of anything but mindless nonsense ? The entire idea of a reaction is to get YOUR insight to what you are feeling at the moment seeing the video (a REACTION) Tom brings out A LOT OF DISCUSSION about topics of substance . Video and levels are spot on , dont change a thing. Thank you for your time and honesty in the reactions ,never stop pausing and rewinding to get the meaning or understanding of something in a video to discuss it . Much love from the #HOG family . Best wishes
Nova is Toms anchor so she was everything Tom needed when he didn’t even want himself. Also if you think you’re emotionally prepared definitely have a listen to Cancer
Don’t quote me, be I believe the Tom and his ex story is, she cut herself, Tom tried to help her, when the paramedics/police showed up, he was covered with blood from trying to save her, and they assumed he did it
When was drinking I spent 200 a day in booze. 73000 a year over 6 years that was just booze. I spent money on stupid shit. My son is only thing that saved me. I quit drinking quit partying the only bad habit I have left is smoking and trying quit that.
Hog family for life I wasn't going to hate on this Girl but please do your Research before you try to do a reaction video. Sabre It means he locked himself in a room to withdraw and the only place to pee was in POP Bottles.. Ok I cant keep explaining this entire song to you but I am trying to help you People are fading away wich means they are losing people to addiction they are pulling away from there friends and family because those are the people that Fuel there addiction like you had to stop socialize with your friends because there going to be the ones getting drunk and influence you while you are trying to get clean . Yes could be relapse people that left the group. Ok that cup thing was weird
Your not supposed to take every word a rapper says as gospel truth. They're just story telling. Like writing a movie. It's gotta get the audiences attention and keep them interested. Duh 🙄 Also let's not make this stupid AI/Avatar bs a thing. I like reality. I like real ppl. There's a time for animation and this ain't it. Smh 🤡🌎
