Jacob Bryant - This Side of Sober (Acoustic) 

To the ones not sober: I've been clean off meth since 10/09/2020. If no one else believes in you. I will. Have hope. You got this. Life can be truly amazing no matter who you are you or who you have been. I promise it's easier than you think. Just don't look back❤️

Dear Addict, If your reading this, then you still stand a fighting chance to beat your demons. Please put that drink or drug down and don't let yourself just wither away. Don't let that one last time be your last time. Stand up Soldier, fight the good fight, spread your beautiful wings, and fly. I promise you that whatever your going through can be fixed with sober time and therapy. Don't let this disease talk down to you anymore. Your worth a million times more than your disease is telling you. Yes, dear addict, you are Priceless and Nobody, I mean, Nobody Can EVER replace You. Somebody, whether You believe it or not Loves You more than you will ever know. So please, Dear Addict, Put that poison down and try. You can do this. And if you believe that NoOne believes in you, than I give You permission to Name Me NoOne, because I for One, believe in You. You are in My Heart and You are In My Prayers. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

"If I can just make it home, today will make 29". Fought back tears to that one. Day 30 today.

Started drugs at 15 I’m now 33 with three years sober. Never thought I would live long enough to see 20 let alone 30. God bless you all if I can do it anyone can❤

292 days sober today. Never thought I'd know what it was like to live a happy life again! #RECOVERYISPOSSIBLE

35 days today. God grant us all the serenity..

My son’s father just died in February. He was only 33. Our son is 3. He was my best friend… my soul and heart. I miss him so much. He introduced me to Jacob Bryant and upchurch… today we had mass at the cemetery… gosh do I miss him so much. I’m so worried about his mom Carmen. Please pray for her and for our family. 💜💜💜

143 days today! The urge is gone and I have found peace I absolutely LOVE this song!!!!

Day 5 on my dads floor trying to kick heroin again it hurts like hell but so worth it I had 5 yrs sober and relapsed it’s time to be who I am meant to be

A judge was my savior. The state wanted 25 years for habitual criminal for multiple DWI's. Instead of putting me back in prison she gave me one last chance to change my life under intense probation. 8/28/2008 was my last drink or using. I have a long record but thats the past. I don't ever forget where I came from because it is easy to fall back in. Rather have a bad day sober then a good day high.....

1 year sober today, and this song hits a nerve today. I am so grateful for the second chance I've been given and the life i have today. For anyone in sobriety or wanting to get sober, i want to tell you one of the many quotes that has gotten me to where i am today. No one said it was gonna be easy, they said its gonna be worth it.

15 months sober and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Praying for everyone struggling with the devil

I came back to this video to finally be able to honestly say: I got one year today.

I had 5 years off hard drugs. After my divorce alcohol became the battle and I'll say for sure getting clean and sober the 2nd time around is brutal. No pink cloud. Nothing but pain. If you're sober, stay sober, through anything.

2 years sober down the drain. One shot turned into 1000. Now on my way to the hospital for a medical detox. ITS hard to outrun the devil.

Been sober over year now . Sobriety is everything alcohol promised me .

663 days sober! It is possible I believe in you!

I truly hope everyone who really wants to get sober here does. I'm proud of y'all. It's hell to go through it's worth it I promise. Yhall got this 🦾

can't believe this isn't on radio. laying here at 3am in tears listening to this... addiction is such a powerful thing. Over 10 yrs sober, now married with kids, highly successful, living the "American Dream"... but ONE SLIP was all it took. I forgot the #1 rule. Once an addict, always an addict. Amazing song

Today my hunny celebrates one year sober. I’m looking for a song to play for him, but this has me crying. I’m so proud of him for staying strong and making it this far after all he’s been through. One year sober from heroin, meth, and more. I couldn’t be more proud.

If you are listening to this song and you are sober but on the edge keep fighting do what you know works. Getting sober again after relapse has proven to be much harder than I tricked my self in to believing it would be.

I have to say it is alot of positive comments on here. Good people make good comments. Bad people bash others. So the love is amazing. I am sober for 16 days . Over a month from being drunk. I'm looking forward to 30 days clean. And more. I have recently found out I have Chronic kidney disease. It's not cureable but it can be managed to live a healthy life. I'm 39 years old. My fiance is 59 and she has been thru her struggles also. I pray the good Lord puts us back together. As it was the alcohol that tore us apart. Jesus is the first part to being sober. Trust and believe. He is our savior. He gave his life so we wouldn't have to. Remember that.

Not a country fan myself but the message is solid. Over 5 years myself. To anyone out there struggling with addiction, you are NOT alone. I don't know you but that doesn't matter. We're all human and here together. I wish you the very best in any rd to recovery you seek. Please seek that rd, you are loved.

Everyone shares when their sober but how many in active addiction still listen to this music? I had 6 months and relapsed 2 months.

Six months clean. About to leave Salvation Army ARC. God is good

73 days clean and sober. Love this song

I remember sending this song to my dad, and I thought oh he prolly thinks I’m clean cause I’m listening to this song. Boy was I wrong. I wasn’t fooling anyone and neither are you. Today I’ll celebrate 4 years clean august 5th and today my family can rely on me. My momma can sleep and my dad knows I’m clean and doing my best each day. My parents are proud of me and I’m proud of me. We do recover and it’s so worth it. I think often “it could be worse” or “man I’m glad I’m not homeless and wishing I had $20l right now. A bad day today is better than a good day getting high. We do recover and so can you! We love you! Go to a meeting! Call someone! Let this be your sign !!

15 days sober today itscares me that I've gotten this far.

Love this song. Ive been clean from pills and alcohol for 15 months. Its still a stuggle on the daily. Anyone that is struggling. Keep your head up and take it one day at a time.

This song needs to be on the radio! It could help so many.

I have to say hes saving good country music. In my opinion. Im 41 years old. County has gone away.

I'm now a year and a half sober dealing with PTSD and anxiety from the military and this song has helped me get through it and calms me when I'm having an attack or the thought to drink again his music has helped me a lot and I am thankful he made this song cause it's still hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but it gets better as time goes on

This song brings tears every time I listen to it, I have been 2 years 7months and it is the greatest thing since my children were born.

Here in rehab because of hearing this song ! This made me recognize I am this song ! Enough said !

I'm only on my second day of being sober and trying to find inspiration. Thank you for this song. Thank you for the comments too So I can read everyone's story.

I was sober for a year until covid hit. First month they lockdown the US. No gyms to go to, to ease the notions. All I did was work come home, eat, drink, sleep, repeat. 😏 I stopped last month October 1st, and going back to CrossFit.

Just finishing up day 2 of being sober. Dui and a car crash, potentially losing the love of my life, and sitting in a cell was a wake up call that things needed to change. Gonna listen to this each day as a reminder

83 days today. Fighting the good fight 💪🏼

A fellow addict got me hip to this song in rehab and this has become part of my routine Today is day 34 and this song keeps me motivated

Anyone whos an alcoholic and struggled with bad circumstances can relate to this one. I like this guy, he's got some talent.

my favorite verse is "its hard to run away from the devil when he is sitting in your shoulders" its so true

6 days sober today…this song hits right at my heart…brought tears to my eyes

Been clean off hard drugs for 2 years and setting here drinking a beer crying my eyes out. 😢😢😢

I lost my stepdad two years ago to this day and it's been hard to put the bottle down ever since but your song has been helping me thank you

If you are reading this and no one told you they love you. I wanna say I love you. If you feel like giving up, don't, keep fighting. Remember one day at a time. You will be fine as long as you Don't put the first one in. I'm proud of you.

I was addicted to prescription drugs for 10 yrs I woke up looking at my grandson smiling St me I new then I had to quit I threw all drugs away that was 4yrs ago.

I’m on 8 weeks sober from heroin and methadone, still having withdrawals but I’m doing it!!! I won’t stop!!!

After almost 17 years of drinking, multiple times of AA, losing loved ones, being broke out stealing for another drink, working dead end jobs. Spent 4-5 days literally dying, finally able to get sober something I never thought would happen. I loved drinking more then I loved my life. It's a real eye opener and it's hard but I DID IT!!!

10 mths clean and Sober,Thank you Jesus for another chance.Amen.Hang in their,we can do this.

I always cry when I hear this song. I’ve fallen many times but I’m still trying. That bottle ain’t got nothing but empty hope, lies and pain. Less than a week and I’ll be 30 days sober💪🏽💜 YOU GOT THIS! YOU MATTER! I LOVE YOU BROTHA/SIS

I dropped tears for this song, then dropped more for the comments, my battle aint over, god bless those of u who found a way

I'm 46 days clean and sober today. I'm grateful to have made it back. The longest I've seen sooner for a few years.

I used to sing this song before I started using and now that I started my recovery it’s been since September 24 since my last use or drink I have a whole new understanding of this song

Tomorrow marks 1 year I got clean from alcohol. So proud of what I accomplished and overcame ❤❤

I just survived a severe crash because my stupid ass was drunk. They told me there’s no way I should’ve lived through it. God had his hand on me. To everyone fighting this battle with me, we can make it.

My son is currently struggling with addiction...I needed to hear this ..I keep wiping tears and replaying this song

This song is a true eye opener.. Life has become unmanageable...

"If I can just make it home today will make 29" that part gets me every time.

If you are reading this and you are sober. I'm proud of you and me... God Bless

I needed to hear this tonight, I got clean off hard drugs 3yrs ago but I never got sober and didn't realize it was a problem until recently..

68 days sober and I want to thank my sponsor for providing me with this artist and song! It's a true inspiration Thank you! It's hard to believe I am doing this after 27 years of being a real alcohol! AA has changed my life for the best version of me!

Beautifully done! I’m fortunate enough to be friends with the writer of this song and I know he’s proud of the life you e been able to breathe into it. ❤️💫🎶

You probably won't see this man.... But you're my all time favorite country artist of all time. And i know people say this. But most the time I've never believed it. But honestly man your music seriously helped me get through detoxing and withdrawals. I have been on the receiving end of the devil myself. And i can relate to your music you write. Your struggles with yourself and God and the devil. To name a few that sounded just like a story of my life. Was your song Amen. Especially that one and Baptized By The River. Your song This Side Of Sober. Also Save My Soul and This Side Of Sober. I can even relate to your song Just Enough Jesus. I've given into the devil in my life more times than not. But I finally started fighting the devil back for my life. And believe me the struggle is more real than most know. But when I hit rock bottom man. I started praying hard and reading my Bible every day. And I remember the voice of my grandmother. And the things she would tell me about Jesus. And through my struggles I heard your music. And I immediately was stopped in my tracks. And I thought this is a real dude here that plays from the heart. And this man really understands what it's like to crawl himself out of a dark place. And fight the devil to find his way back to the light just like me. And you are the most talented one I've heard in this time. Country isn't what it used to be. But you are set apart for sure.... Waylon Jennings is my all time favorite. And i put you right there with him. And I have used your music as motivation. And i seriously thought to myself. This is a man that I'd like to meet and talk to. I'd love to hear about your struggles and your darkness. And I'd love to hear what motivated you to dig deep inside yourself. And what gave you the strength to fight your way back to the light. Because I know addiction is a hard thing to fight and overcome. God bless you and your family. I look forward to seeing you in concert one day or something. Much love and respect to you. And thank you for your amazing voice, your motivational words, and just for understanding what it's like to be a good man that has struggles within himself and God. You'll never know how your music has helped me.

Dedicating this to the love of my life. He is on the hard road ALONE. Wish he knew how strong he really was in my eyes. To anyone with addiction issues, this is your song. Someone gets it, someone understands your NOT alone!

7 months sober now off booze and meth this is such a beautiful song it made me break down the last time I relapsed I was up all night listening too music and seen this and I balled like I hadn't in a long time but I'm better than I have been in a long time.

❤ Love This Song. Speaks #Truth #Facts #Real And Today is Day 63. God Bless you all

I first heard this song 6yrs ago and it's helped keep my from stumbling so beautifully written For anyone reading this whether you have 30 yrs 20 months or 5 hours I'm proud of you :)

A 41 year old man here, veteran, has father of 2 boys and a wife of 18 years it’s really amazing what memories, thoughts and “just one drink” will do to a man/soul

My dad had a really bad Deman on his back he’s sober for 6 months now and I pray I never loses him again💔

I been listening to this song for the last 4 years and I relate to this song on another level .I can’t seem to get pass a couple weeks not drinking .hardest thing is being sober .but I don’t get drunk I just space my beers

431 days sober it's been a long bumpy road but now I can say I out ran the devil

I am almost 3 months sober! It was over a year but i had a 3 day relapse and had to start over but thankfully i am able to jump back on the wagon again! Never give up! Even if you slip, dust yourself off and get back up and keep moving foward!

Just found this song. I’m three years sober taking it one day at a time

Wow man. I'll have 6 years sober in March. One day at a time. Did AA for a few months then decided I wanted to do it by myself. That devil still appears out of nowhere sometimes, but somehow I keep on keeping on. I went from a fifth and a case a day to nothing. If I can quit so can anyone reading this. You're not alone, you got this!

I tried quitting for years and failed EVERY time until one day I begged my lord and savior Jesus Christ to heal me and give me the strength and he took all my addiction away, if anyone reads this PRAY ask him to live in you and give your life to him and he will save you!

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!! This needs to be played on every radio station

I’m still struggling I have four children a beautiful fiancé and all the stuff we could want we live a good life but I hear this song and it makes me realise my problem and makes me wana kick it but it’s so hard. Proud of all of u that have !!!

I got 73 days and god is blessing me everyday to stay sober but that doesn't fix the hurt. Only therapy and love from my family...so much has changed I'm pooring tears as I wrote this ...bc my hole life is changing and things I never believed would happen did...doors are opening for me ...thank you to my higher power...

It hard when ur sober cause every problem u was running from is still there and its in ur face just keep trucking life is beautiful

What an amazing song, as a recovering alcoholic with 8 months sober. This song really hits home for me. THANK YOU Jacob

Just hit 4 years clean from meth. 05/20/20 listen to this song anytime i start getting in a dark place. Always pulls me back to where i need to be 😊

Pick up a year clean on July 8th. Great song for a recovering junkie. 👌

Staying sober is hard takes lots of praying,dedication and meetings I can relate to this in so many ways!!

i have been a few yrs sober now from drugs God is alive and breathing inside everyone of us i love you all

amazing. reminds me of old school Brantley Gilbert. 💗 perfect

I'm a 17 year old teenager. as a recovering addict and alcoholic I can relate to this song so much. 💖 my favorite lyrics of this song "if stupid was a shirt my sleeves would be long."

Dont ever give up ...one second or one day whatever works for you. God loves u

When he says "if stupid were a shirt my sleeves would be long" i honestly felt like I could relate

im a recovering addict/alcoholic and this is the shit I love for! knowing people relate and knowing they are something their hope is amazing! God is good and it is possible!❤

This song gives me chills. I'll be 11 years clean from heroin this September and 10 years without alcohol in Nov. I have so much gratitude and love in my heart for my second chance at life. Unfortunately, my sister suffered from the same "devil on her shoulder" and she passed away September 12th 2014. I miss you, Lisa. ❤

Man this song really hit home. So damn true. This song is making a larger impact than u can even believe. A friend told me about this song and me and her both listen to it at least once a day. Keep it up man

You can see the feeling in his eyes with this song. What it means to him and how much he's singing from his heart. Nice song!

One day at a time, I'm on the right side of sober :). Amen!

This June will mark 2 years sober..and this song was my number 1 song to go to in my early sobriety ..still give it a listen to when I'm having rough days..keep your head up guys..it all gets better just gotta put the work in 😁👌

I could listen to this over and over. Love it!!!!! This is what country sounds like.

14 whole days of soberity. Haven't had a drop. And every day I tell myself "just make it through today".

My substance abuse group listened to this song one day, and ever since then every time I want to relapse I listen to this.

As an alcoholic. With a devil tattooed on my shoulder. This song hits hard

Dear addicts, If you have any days under your belt you run with that (EVEN IF ITS 1 DAY!). Appreciate yourself. I was so close to a year and let my relationship ruin it I wasn’t strong enough. Wish I felt the way I felt after that 90 days. We are strong. We just have to do it.

this my new favorite song I got 68 days clean and sober today
