Proud of you keep fighting and on days that are hard do it for us who haven’t found that strength yet and who we can look up too and know it is possible
You will make it! I believe in you! I'm on the same path at the moment. Trynna listen to this and other songs about addiction to handle the strong urge to relapse again!
I’m 2.5 years clean after a heroin/fentanyl addiction that overdosed me more than once, and almost destroyed my entire life. Three rehab attempts later and I’ve made it to the other side. I always felt so drawn to this song when I was younger, not realizing I would live it later on. Such a fucking powerful song, it makes me feel so much and remember so many things from active addiction, and makes me want to keep running as far away from it as I can.
One of her most underrated but damn dude this song gives me goosebumps and chills. These lyrics are so powerful and meaningful. Beautiful Job as always pink.
When I was a young kid I didn’t know the meaning behind this song, I just heard “I’m safe up high” and assumed she was talking about physically being up high on a building where other people can’t physically hurt her. But now as a teenager, listening to the lyrics breaks my heart. I’ve struggled and am struggling with addiction and these lyrics hit so fucking close to home, it truely brings a tear to my eye. She was singing from the heart in this song, you can hear the emotion in her voice and it hurts so bad when you relate. To anyone struggling with any addictions, just know it will get better. It will never happen straight away and it will never be easy, but you will get there. Keep your head up and stay strong ❤
Lol, seems like I am not the only one who heard this song as a kid not knowing the meaning of the song. Now I understand and have related to this, and still sort of do. "I'm safe up high, nothing can touch me" It gets better though, I believe.
I heard this song today at the grocery store, and I immediately remembered loving it as a child, but I had no clue what the words actually meant. Now hearing this, I not only like the rhythm but the words make it so much better.
As a former club promoter this song hits my heart, I remember the hazy days, partying all night, sleeping all day, being surrounded by questionable people and "yes" men, the nightlife can really eat you up, and refuse to spit you out until its absorb everything from you. I'm thankful I'm 5 years sober to the date.
Not a big Pink fan, but man, you gotta respect this woman. She has an amazing voice, and by god, she can write a lyric. I've been at most places she mentions in this song. I have been there, where the silence is the loudest thing you've ever heard, and you see the space you're in shrinking little by little, till surrounds you completely. And listening to this lyrics, it took me back 10 years ago when I was doing a lot of shit, and paying my personal price for it. Congratulations lady Pink! The good music, is the one that makes you feel something. I felt something with this one. And it hit hard.
Hang in there just keep doing the next rite thing and for me keeping sober is all about our recovery and what works for us individually.. for everyone #1 is support.without a support system in place and staying connected with then when I started to, let life's terms take ok very like working full-time b e I being to tired to call my mentor or meetings and working o n Sundays which is apart of my recovery and hanging out e I think certain family members are u nd time of year my dad killed himself /so within a few months I relapsed after 2 years of sobriety
I've been using for 2 1/2 years or so, and now that I'm adopting a dog I'm quitting; today is my first day of sobriety, and I don't want to go back. There were some good times, sure, but it cost me more than money. This had to happen sooner or later, but getting a dog kind of clinched it. To everyone struggling with their addictions, please remember that you aren't your addiction. I wish you all the support and care in the world, and that you succeed - you're amazing and just taking that step of realising you need to quit is pretty big. You can do this. I believe in you. Update: I've had a few screw ups, and the past few days the cravings been so strong... Does it ever go away? It's been, like, 5 months. I just wanna cry.
@@lunadashie4642 Aw, thanks, that means a lot! I did relapse but have been clean since June 13th and am doing great. Meditation has been helping A LOT.
2:48 This lyric explains me back in Highs school I had no friends, no relationship, nothing. I was always crying due to loneliness I had. After all the trauma I had before, nobody to comfort me away from home, I was left there alone. Sitting alone at lunch and being that one kid left there with no teammate. I still hate myself for not going to someone and starting a conversation, but I was afraid of being stabbed in the back. I need friends, I want to feel wanted here...
I understand but you can't always have someone, loneliness is something that not everyone deals with but what the best of us experience, everyone has to deal with things alone, but the toughest of us are always alone, and no I'm not saying that it's good to be alone or lonely I'm saying that not everyone gets the luxury of having someone there for you but this doesn't define us.
I'm struggling at the moment having a battle with meth I'm finally realising that this is not the life I want I wanna be a good person and not feel dread or guilt anymore I wanna be there person I was before all this mess I wanna be a great mum my girls can depend on trying to hide this from family and friends for years has me fucked. But today I made the decision no more I'm getting off this crazy ride. I have a beautiful family iam going to live a sober healthier life. Meth will not keep a prisoner anymore I'm walking away from it.
That's amazing I'm so proud of you for wanting to make a better life for yourself you deserve it and you got this I may not know you but what I do know is that it takes a certain motivation to get through addiction and it seems you have the perfect motivation so keep it up and keep strong I believe in you 1,000%
I was in high school when this song came out. I did feel her pain but then I thought to myself, it’s probably a “only-Hollywood-people” thing. Nearly 15 years later, I stumbled across the song today and I’m bawling out. I feel every word. I’ve never felt so understood. And seeing all the comments in here, knowing I’m not alone does help me feel something other than just the numbness. And I mean she released this song 13 years ago and she seems to be doing ok now, so there’s hope for us right?
Indonesian band has written this theme earlier in 90s, Slank "Sober". People thought that sober is abbreviation of "sobat berat" (best friend), but as English becomes second or third language here... People know the true meaning of sober, drug-clean
I still remember everything about this song, and just what it meant to me. It meant...me sitting in the car, literally right after my sister's picked me up from from jail, for a drug charge...and I turn on the radio and Sober had just begun.. it was insanely sad 😔
I’m not an addict but I should be , sobriety is too much even for me , maybe I can’t handle life but I have chemical highs and lows and the lows are terrible and you just want to be up , to all who struggle , I can’t imagine and I admire your strength because I couldn’t refrain if a substance made me feel good .
The way this song cuts so deep and the feeling and emotions behind it have helped me through my recovery and I pray for those who are still struggling that one day they will be looking back and realize how strong they are and how far they are going
The vocals are holly gauthier-frankel as fern walters Philip pheslosa as Arthur read michelle mcternan as rainbow dash and Shania McGowan as herself in the song called sober
I loved this song as a child and I couldn't tell you why. Now that I'm a recovering addict, I understand: This was a cry for help.. "How did I feel this good, sober" is something I've been struggling with. It's what I'm searching for.
I have seven years clean from meth/heroin/pills and then got into an abusive relationship with an alcoholic and started drinking to numb everything. 2 DUIs and i stop and keep starting back up. Alcohol is probably the worst thing ive ever been addicted to and this song is my daily listen hoping I can quit soon
Sun do be blinding, u do stay up for days. No sleep. It's Tough 💯 love this song. I remember me & my cousin would hear && have it on repeat back then. We'd just stay there quite. With ea other & not say a word. Just reply the song. Holding ea others hand. We both was tryna go cold turkey. Stay strong 💪.. love me some pink 💗
my best friend just passed away from drugs and I'm an Residential Aid at a substance abuse treatment facility. I feel like there's something I could have done I just talked to her in June and I got busy and wasn't able to answer her back. I feel like I could have helped her I'm so mad she didn't talk to me. Damnit drugs you took my best friend.
This song talks to me so much. I'm 24. And not gonna lie I'm going trough a rough patch right now. 🙃 I Made some dumb choices the past 5 to 6 months. And I wanna not do it anymore. It's so hard. I've lost myself:( 😕
This is how you know yall didn't grow up with cousins or family addicted to anything or seen it until you've dealt with it yourself. I remember being about 8 this song coming out and I knew exactly what it meant bc of my cousins n other family members and that's when I played it for them.
I'm 1 week sober tonight after smoking bud every single day for 15 years, I've lost sleep, my sanity more times than I can count this week, but it's getting easier, I'm still struggling to cope with bi polar with no buffer but I got this. For a better future and lots of 💸💸💸. Fuck NC it needs to be legalized everywhere! 🙃
I know this song is talking about addictions and drinking, but i feel it hits so hard because being around people basically gave me dopamine so f-cking strong, it felt like an addiction, but when I started to go through hormones and changes (already being forgetful and emotional), this heightened the emotions which made me quick to either anger or outbursts that made me lose majority of my friends which only came down to 3 or 4, but then finally taking a quick breath and taking time to actually think about how to handle difficult situations, I was able to try to talk them and make up for what i did, however i still want back who i once had, so still working to rebuild myself :] It also didn't help that i was a people pleaser and my toxic ex pushed me out of that but pushed me in the wrong direction- (Sorry if this is confusing, i have difficulties explaining things lol)
Every single word!💯 myself! Hits hard, in my now 2 months of sobriety! Especially hard to get through, when my baby brother was shot and killed July 2nd, 2023😢😢😢
I’m two weeks clean from a long struggle with addiction and I’m really trying to find out who I really am, not who the drugs made me.. It’s kinda scary. What if I like the person I am on drugs more than my real self? That’s my main concern
This song makes me cry cause I'm officially an addict. I use to do power here and there. I gave in to temptation one night at a party and now I can't stop. I was sober for about a year. I'm so disappointed in myself!
