My daughter has been clean for 287 days ❤ she had mentioned your song. This song hits me as a mother. Thank you for helping her. She's going to NA now and has a sponsor ❤❤
I'm really glad to hear this! I'm in work release right now and seeing a lot of people struggling with addiction.. You make sure to tell your daughter how proud and tell it strong because she is amazing. Addiction is no joke. To quit is to throw away the best feeling you've ever had and never get it again. Forever addicted. Good luck to you and her ❤
Thank you. I tell her every day and night. She's a fighter for sure. She beat that fentanyl addiction and she starts college this fall to be a drug addiction counselor. I'm proud of you too. ❤️
My addiction started when I was 13 I’m 28 now and It’s like you literally took the words from my soul that Ive been trying find my whole life to explain how I feel. Thank you.
Anyone who has been addicted to any type of pills or heavy drugs in general cant definitely feel this song in the soul 😔 been about 7 months sober now from Xanax, used to be heavily addicted and even tried to overdose by take a bunch of em and drinking shit tons of alcohol, thank to god I did not overdose and I’m still here 🙏🏽 I pray everyone can overcome addiction to drugs. And thank you Henry for making such a wonderful cover 🙏🏽
The emotion behind this remix is intense.. i can feel the dark place glooming around and see myseld sitting in the middle of it. Well done, dont stop what youre doing.
As a recovering fentanyl addict, this helps me keep going and reminds me of where I never went to be again. Too many mornings I shouldn’t have woken up…didn’t want to wake up. But I’m here and I’m trying. Bless anybody else out here fighting the good fight ❤
7 years clean. Meetings are there for people who need them. If you are still struggling, there is hope. Just keep trying. There are people who want to help you. You can do this. Stay strong.
@@Akio_melosdon't be rude, he's tryin to let them stand up, if all u wanted was to be left alone then stay down, some people needed that, Tysm @Ravynsrage
@Akio_melos Quite the truth and a devastatingly important one at that. My younger sister overdosed at 24 years old last year the Percocets she was getting were cut with Fentanyl. I moved in with her and my parents after she got out of rehab to try and help. The unfortunate thing is that no matter how much they look to you for help or how much you hold them at night whispering to God that you will try everything you can to if they don't want to help themselves your efforts becomes a bit mute. I left after a few months because it got to the point where I didn't know if I was helping or making it worse. I blamed the indulgence of my mother at the time and told her I'm not going to wait around and watch her die. She died 4 months later. I thought I was leaving for my own mental health but in reality I was scared and I gave up. I have my regret that I try not to dwell in. The things I would have done differently are not what I thought I would come to. Instead of scolding her, chastising her, trying to make her feel guilty for her choices I would have told her how beautiful she was and that I loved her everyday. I would have asked her for help with things that I certainly didn't need help with. I would have brushed her hair more bc I swear it was beautiful black silk. I would remind her how intellectually inclined she truly was and that being a dreamer isn't a negative quality regardless of whether or not anyone agreed with her. That when she smiled she did so with her whole face I never told her how much I needed that sometimes. I really don't know if she knew she was my favorite person in the world. ...I'm 33 I don't comment on RU-vid videos and this is indeed a first for me and I don't know if you love someone that loves something more than they do themselves Atm. Trust me sometimes it's better to keep someone in your heart and not your life. No one should suffer abuse for the sake of saving someone. Madison asked me when she was 15 years old after watching the perks of being a wallflower (her favorite movie) how to save someone. I was in my early twenties and didn't have a clue but I gave it some thought and I told her it would require all of you. I neither condone nor condemn that statement at this point in my life. One thing I do know though is that I should have used less of my ego and reasoned more with the heart. People almost always are trying to numb an emotion or trauma by numbing with substance. Trauma is indeed the gateway drug if I have ever seen one. Be mindful of that and even when it hurts love like it doesn't. Sorry to write a diary entry. Thiss has helped me a bit and the topic is both relevant and intimate to me Atm so thanks to anyone that reads it and takes something away from it
Have been drinking for six years now and started to do drugs two years ago. I'm eighteen this year and decided to stop taking drugs and alcohol and try to see how it goes. Thanks to you I have been able to get a better life and I hope that others will so to.
I just listened to this while I'm sitting alone at 2 am on a train... It feels like there's no way out. It eats u alive I've watched my world crumble around me and I can't seem to climb out of the rubble it's suffocating. This song made me cry and actually feel something for the first time in a long time... You did good and I'm glad you made it out. I guess there's still hope for some of us...
Update my partner passed away on Friday of an overdose my soulmate my daughters dad he was my everything. I don't want to be here without him.... I'm going to join him soon and get off this hell ridden earth. It's been nothing but suffering and pain and in ready to leave. This was my breaking point. It was a good ride until he left me here and I can't deal with this by myself.. his family cared about him but my family is gone my daughter was taken away and he's gone I have nothing left here... I think it's time for me to go and the count rate for the lives this disease takes will go up by 1
@@michou6410thanks man I still have a-lot of work to do with myself but I never felt more alive then I do today. 28 days at a in-patient center for a total of 54 days sober today !
I'm going through an addiction with pain killers and trying to gove my 3 kids everything so i dont spend the money on it its hard and the days I cave into it this hits. This fucks with emotions I didn't know I had! You hear about everyone else but never hear a musician write a song so relatable! Hope anyone gets through, 90% of the battle is admitting you have a problem the rest is this. We all will work out there! Shout out to everyone struggling we got this!
Bro, I heard this song on TikTok not too long ago and couldn’t get out of my head for real. I’m recovering heroin addict and did it for about 10 years and 36 now I know you’re young but you can feel the pain in your voice man and I can tell that you’ve been through it. I hope you keep your head up brother this song is legitimately amazing like I put it up with one of the grays. Good shit keep up the good work man seriously good vibes coming your way. Love!
I was using fetty for years and felt nobody understood the pain of it I’m happy to say I’m 41 days clean and sober and finally found something to listen to that connects with me thank you
proud of you man, I'm almost 2 years sober of fent and heroin. I took the methadone route and am almost done tapering and have no desire to do drugs anymore. I smoke weed still instead of taking the ssri and insomnia meds they want me on
I found my sister and her bf was on fetty and he overdosed luckily I was able to get there in time to give him naloxone im proud to say they are now 96 days clean
I've kicked Xxanax, Cocaine, Fentynol, Wax/Weed, Alcohol, and lastly just kicked Vaping/Nicotine not really because i wanted to but due to catching pneumonia related to vaping. All in the last 5 months. All u need is the desire to genuinely want to quit. A few resources and surround yourself with like minded people. It can be done. And whatever you're going through too shall pass. 😊
Withdrawing from fentynal as we speak.I lost my fiance, i lost my dog, my family and my home. I sit up at night making pictures of her look as pretty as I possibly can because she didnt deserve what happened to her. Right now, I'm in a steamy shower, cold sweats completely breaking down to a song a kid probably close to half my age wrote. I wanna go back. So. Fucking. Bad. I can't though and wonder if I'll get a 10 or 20 year sentence. I wish I had this song so long ago. Who ever needs to hear it, please stop before you lose everything you love. You will lose everything and you'll never be able to go back.
I'm so sorry for your loss and your struggles! I feel your pain. My mom died from alcohol, and I lost a lot of friends to addictions. My best friend overdosed on fentanyl. I myself struggle with addiction to heroin and alcohol for the past 10 years, overdosed 3 times, thanks God I'm alive. 🙏 I'm taking kratom for the past 5 years. It helped me to get off other substances. I will pray for you. You are strong, and I believe in you! The first step is realizing you have a problem, and you do. Good luck ❤
The withdrawals are the hardest part. To put mine in a blunt way I literally pooped my pants and vomited st the same time. I'm currently 19 months sober. You can do it. It gets better ❤
I broke contact with my drugaddicted little brother months ago when he attacked me physically and spat on me. Loved this song and could relate. After months we finally spoke today and this song was partly why. We decided the past is the past and now that he is and trying to stay sober we Will try a Fresh start. Lyrics can make a difference, it reminded me of all the good parts and hos struggles. and hopefully my brother can stay sober ❣️
I’m 42 years of age and there is so much that I can relate to with this song I use to feel the same way every morning not wanting to wake up and pop another pill then my life turned around when my young son was born he saved me from the life I was living in this song is amazing ❤
I wish people could understand the feelings that comes with addiction when they haven’t been thru that struggle. Iv been sober for 2 years now and this still hits deep fr.
This song definitely hits home for alot of addicts qnd people who used to to use drugs i used to be one until i overdosed in nov of 2023 the story of how my daughter found me completely broke my heart and then right there i knew i had to do better
there are just no word to explain how your voice, this song, makes me feel, not too many artists can convey the raw emotion, standing ovation for you young man, iv been clean and sober for 29 years haha longer then you have been alive, but you never forget, never forget the self loathing, the hate for yourself for what you have done to your family and friends when addicted, cant wait to buy tickets to your concert. thank you and i really mean thank you for sharing with the world your amazing talent
Been going thru dirty perk 30 addiction and I was getting sober heard this and realized why I was getting sober thank u so fucking much brotha saved me from relapsing fr fr
When I first listened to this song I started crying bc it just describes me and how I’m actually doing. And I’m just tired of pretending that I’m happy even though I’m dying inside. I’m turning 15 in a few months and I’m already addicted to things I shouldn’t be. 🙃💔
Get off it now before it’s too late . Before you know it you’ll be 28 like me still dealing with it and haven’t done much in life since the addictions started
I was too proud to stay on it forever, people told me i couldn't get off it, them doubting me got me off that shit. I remember i told my uncle "i need to get a job and i need your help because i can't be drug tested" he told me "then maybe you need to decide whats more important, or maybe you already have". I'll never forget that. Decide whats more important now while your future has the most potential, because you won't get a chance to later. I used joining the army, which was always my dream to take the first step away from it.
I was the same way. my mom told me it was okay, it's not. run. run away as far as you can from qyoure "friends " don't push you're family away. and just get clean now before you're 25 and wasted and ruined 10 years of your life on drugs and fake love
3 years clean from pills hang in there everyone there’s another way of life if you want it. Believe in yourself and never give up I took pain killers through my whole 20’s survived 2 overdoses and luckily I’m not there today and we won’t go back love u all
@@thepoeticdistress_8713 take it day by day. Get that poison outta you booze is the most acceptable but harmful drug of them all. It’s the worst you can do this. Once you eliminate the booze the first month is tough but once you gain the social skills again and confidence it’s a wrap
Man I just started. Literally 28 hours in. Shit sucks. I'm sick, cold sweats, can't sleep for more than an hour but I'm going to do this. Been on them for about 6 years now and I hate what I've done with myself. I see these comments and it gives me hope
bro this is it! You’re life finna change from this song 🎵 ❤ honestly well deserved you may not know but this song helps a lot of people so I couldn’t imagine anyone else who should be in the spotlight more this is the type of message the world needs right now 😢
This song hits home for me so much, my addiction started with popping pills when I was 15 and each year it got worse and worse moving on to something different all the time that would take the pain away. Waking up needing more and not having it. Going through withdrawals and in so much pain. I got clean when I was 19 I am 24 now and I haven’t went back since. Everyday is a struggle because of the cravings. But this song really reminds me of how I felt everyday wanting to get clean. I love it because it makes me understand why no is the perfect answer.
Found this from your no auto tune video on Facebook. These are both good, but the clear vocals are great brother. Good song man I'll be adding it to my playlist
For how simple the song is, it does a great job conveying the emotions of a drug addiction. 9 years clean from 3 years of 30s and heard one verse of this song and its made me seek it out. I can feel these lyrics and his emotion in them. Well done
I was diagnosed with cancer at only 26 with 4 baby’s and a husband across the country in the military… The amount of drugs they put me on made me a person that wasn’t reality. My daughter’s first birthday I sat in the hospital tears running down my face being poked and prodded but yet numb to the touch. Now I fight to get off of them. I fought cancer I won but this, getting off what they hand fed me. This is the hardest battle.
6 days, no blues. This is exactly how I've felt for so long. This song, along with "I'd rather overdose" really opened my eyes. Now I've got 6 days 🤷🏽♂️🔫
You touched my heart the way you sang about how much your dad meant to you just wish I had been able to tell mine before he passed God my heart hurts but thanks for such a meaningful song x
Have 5 years sober i was heavily adddicted to xanax would also smoke weed daily drink and alot alot other drugs but xanax was the worst i would wake up in the morning and take 5 just to start the day and that was the start im sober know and so happy but it never gets easy ever just stay strong people
As a fellow struggling addict I feel this in my bones, i am in recovery but fuck man this shit kills me every day I think about it and how happy I was when using, I want that happiness again but know I’ll never have it.
Bro I’ve never really been addicted to drugs like that but ik there’s a lot of people that r and I wanted to say I’m sorry for everyone that’s going through pain and wanna be happy and u think drugs is the only way out but trust me there’s other ways keep fighting don’t let it win u guys r a fighter and warrior just think about y’all’s family and the good memories with them I suffer with depression and want to just be happy but listening to this makes me cry every time I love ur music ur a great kid ur awesome u help and helped a lot of people realize that there’s a better way stay sober and keep fighting don’t ever give I’ve had friends and family addicted to drugs and it breaks my heart me every time I see them just keep ur head up stay safer and keep sending these messages to the world ur a hero bro I love u man ❤❤❤❤❤
This song is what my life has been like this past year when I was going through stuff and thought drug where the answer and now I struggle to live a day with out using drugs
Went cold turkey from fet hardest thing Ive ever done and I was a tanker in the military. I still think about it every day but I see my daughter and remember why I quit. If you're going through it remember you got this and life will get better just hold on to the things you love and what makes you happy.
As someone who's beat addiction and someone who's lost some to the battle, this song brought me to tears 💚💔 keep writing dude! You got a gift for sure 💚
I think this is the first song I heard in years that gives me full body chills and makes me tear up everytime.. Hits to close to home with., makes me think of everyone that lost the battle and all the times I should of lost the battle myself.. 3 year clean from drugs, but still fighting with alcohol to this day😔
Bro this hit home hard, I started smoking weed at 10 with my moms partner and from there on life spiralled down as I hit more and harder drugs as I grew up and this song explains the struggle of addiction so well I think we can all relate on a majorly deep level ❤🔥💯
I overdosed last Christmas and i have been sober for 8 months now and with it coming around again, makes it really hard, but this song reminded me of why I do what I do just wanna be happy again yeah
