My husband and I are gonna be 5 years sober on 11-21-24 this song is so relatable in alot of ways in my life my little brother is lost in his addiction I look for him everyday going through our town praying he finds his way out addiction is the worst ❤ I love this song it's perfect
I hear this and it's like a song to myself in my addiction. Today I'm 5 years & 9 months sober.... it's still a struggle, but I finally love me more than I loved getting high.
HELL YEA CONGRATS ON THAT.. this song Hits home . I been clean for 4yrs now.. everyday is a struggle. We jus gotta take it day by day. 24hrs at a time.. WE GOT THIS!!
to everyone in the comments i’m so proud of u for being clean! it’s a struggle and it’s a everyday fight but always remember u have that fight inside of u. it’s the wind in ur hair on a windy day and it’s the sun that beams down on u on a sunny day! u got this never give up u are more then ur addiction🤍🤍
Got me tearing up right now. If I can remember by then, I'm going to show my brother this song, when he gets out of prison next year. Hope he gets back into singing, as a means of healing. I'd love to hear him cover this. I think it'll resonate with him. "You tried to help me and it wasn't going through". And we do miss him. Always holding out hope for him. One day at a time, recovery is linear. I always remind him that he's loved, despite everything.
I lost my dad to addiction and this really hit me in the heart. Absolutely relate to this song. I will never be like him. I don't ever want to make my future kids go through eat I did
Makes me think of my dad… If only he loved us like he loves getting his next fix… it destroyed our childhood and family. He’s only worsened in older age… would send this to him if no-contact wasn’t the best way.
I felt that. My dad is the same way. I finally gave up on him this year. He's never been a good dad but keeps having kids with other addicts. He used to be a drunk until he couldn't drink anymore and then he went to drugs. He's almost 50 and will never change until it's too late. He has 5 daughters and not a good father to any of us. No contact is the best option I do agree.
I feel like this song can tug on so many different heart strings. I've never struggled with addiction, but I've always somehow loved someone who ends up, or already was an addict- parents, lovers, friends. This song makes me so sad but also brings me so much peace, having my feelings spoke into existence- and knowing others feel the same.
I shared this with my special person who is 10 months clean and he likes it helps him to remember to focus on the better sober life … thank you for sharing !
Got to send this to my mom who got sober in 2021. I'm so sorry to all of my loves that cannot, if you ever need anything just message here. I hear you, I know you feel like they don't love you because they can't let their "escape" go. But they're just learning to be a human too. But that also doesnt mean you HAVE to take it. I love you, kid.
@hadenwalker2877 Haden i am so sorry that is the life you walk currently. You are worthy, you are loved, and you are never alone. If you ever find that you need someone to back you, there will be a community waiting so long as your heart is in the right place.
Been my reality with a drunk abusive father until his liver couldn't take alcohol anymore then he went to every drug you can think of, had 4 more daughters he's not around for and ruining his life. He's almost 50 and will never let his "escape" go until it's too late. I had to give up on him being a father, I'm the oldest and the pain he has put me through physically and mentally is unimaginable. Sometimes you just have to walk away to keep your own peace even if it hurts. I've been putting off on getting married because I want my father to walk me down the aisle like he's supposed to but this year it finally hit me... It will never happen for me like the movies. No father daughter dance, no getting walked down the aisle, no getting handed over to my soon to be husband.. nothing because he won't stay sober and chooses that life over his children. I'm sure so many can relate and it's so sad. I literally get worried every phone call will be someone calling to tell me he's dead from overdosing. 😭
I second this thank you for your children’s sake I wish my parents could do the same for me 24 years and going strong and I wish for nothing more than to be loved by my parents the way they love drugs
As a mama who found recovery 4 years and 3 months ago, I imagine my 14 y.o hearing this and sadly relating. I hope one day she's allowed to make decisions for herself and comes looking for me because I owe her the world and I've been shut out completely and never given the chance to prove myself by someone I trusted to care for her while I was in prison. Instead she ran with her and left no way to communicate or find them😢😢
I'm here at 42k views... see y'all again in a few million. Some very powerful lyrics. Wow. God's grace be with you if you can relate to this song. It hurts....
Really going thru it right now... Makes me think of my partner and my dad. Why can't they get sober for their kids 😭 if i can cuz i love my kid so much why cant they ..il never understand it. Song on repeat rn😢
My brother couldn't stop and died at 32 😢 I miss him every day, my partner is also the same and I can feel him slipping away from me every day 😢 its the saddest thing. I'm sorry you're going through all this. The song is absolutely amazing! I can't stop listening to it. I don't get why they can't stop for children, for love etc. It's frustrating but it's very complex I think. I keep looking at the heroine rat experiment, have you come across it? If you haven't have a look it's interesting. X
I wish I could send this song to my brother. we lost our parents. I know he still struggles. I miss you Joey, if you see this, I share this song to you.
@@sheepghostie of course ❤️ remember around the world you have people rooting for you no matter what you can push through this I hope tines get better for you
My parents put me and my 3 siblings in this spot right now. I cry every time man this is a gem 🥲🥲 if you’d reach out I’d like to add a part not good with alot of music but from my soul man . Idk probably sound like a weirdo
This song has been making me think about my "dad" more and more. I haven't spoken to him in years. He is a stranger. He chose alcohol and women over his children all our lives. I hate him but I wish I didn't. Crazy how unfair life is to kids and then we have to become adults who are trying to figure life out without the guidance of the people who should have been there.
Just heard this while drinking my Jack Daniels... mid song I chased a roxy with another shot, and in the final minute of the song I was packing my bong. Shit...
Felt so hard. They haven't left but it feels like at any minute they might get to that point. Not being able to help the one you love the most is the worst heartbreak of my life.
It's sad I've been in both spots I've been the one takin the pills and Ive been the one to witness what I did to her and how she felt this song is me 7 years and I still think about you everyday and what pain I caused you and how u felt watching me going unconscious night after night
It’s like I’m singing this to myself. But as long as I’m taking the pills, I can’t hear me cry and I don’t love me as much as I like getting high and I’ve drank pint after pint till many wells have gone dry. Yee Haw by c’mon let’s roll some smoke! RED WHITE AND BLUE NECK
If you had of wrote this 3 years ago I would of related my family member was addicted to drugs and overdosed and I’m so greatful that he didn’t pass away I’m so sorry for people ❤️
I keep begging my biological mom to get clean from fentanyl and she blocked me through all my apps I’ve tried contacting her on.. my heart is absolutely smashed and broken.. I don’t have anymore parental figures and it’s breaking me down..
I've died to many Time's and he's say's something bout weed I been smoking for 7 years plus st8 tobacco and weed only for that long and down for since I was 14 born in 03 if any 1 relates feel free to give to talk to any 1 love you guys and ladies
About to send to my mom…. I love her but just hate these things she does… praying for everyone & sending hugs & love to everyone who needs it !!!! It’s not gonna be easy, set boundaries but let them know you love them every day you can !!! It’s something we can’t understand… ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Absolutely. I always remind my brother that we love him and are rooting for him and willing to help when he really wants it and wants to put the effort in but know that we have to set boundaries. He knew that before he relapsed. I told him before my son was born (when he had been sober for some time), he couldn't be around us, unless he were sober, because I'm not bringing my son around that, I refuse to have him deal with that. So he knows my boundaries. He's currently in prison but gets out next year. I know it's not guaranteed but I hope being away for the time he has been and still has to be, will do him good and I hope it can be a fresh start for him. He doesn't have to be alone. We still love him. I hope my son can get to know him one day, the real him. He's only met him once, he was like 9 months old, at that time.... he's almost 2 years old now. He'll be 3 or about to be 3 by the time my brother gets out. Already so much time lost, don't want to lose anymore or lose him as a whole.
