I am the addict. I am the person who chose drugs over the people I love most. My kids. I walked away from my whole family out of selfishness and weakness. This song took me to rehab. Not my kids, not my mum, not nothing else. A fu*king song. I'll always be eternally thankful for whatever it was that Joyner and JR put in this track that was the catalyst for me wanting to quit my 22year long meth habit.
Hey congrats! I'm almost 3 years with no drinking and just over a year without cocaine, you can do this! One day at a time....Joyner would be proud to read your comment if he could.
Fight that fight n get better bro. U gotta get sober but the love for urself and others that u gain from here on will keep u that way! See the good and be the light n the darkness! U got this!
When you lose the feeling of joy or happiness due to the mental battle you’ve had within yourself from hardship, or loss, or hurt it completely changes the direction and outlook of anybody struggling with it all. Some people don’t have the same mentality as others and most of us are forced to desensitize ourselves from the pain. Every step you feel less and it’s easier to go without the feeling than to repeat the feeling of losing it all again
When Joyner said that’s the part he hate and love at the same time letting people go and know how to turn it off I felt that deep but the only thing about that we still can feel the pain of letting people go cause we loved them so much but you had to let them go
That song hits. And i can't remember if DMX said it on drink champs or breakfast club, essentially see people for who they are and if you allow them in, then dont cry when the natural nature comes out. Im using my words and man when i heard the song "i didn't go" with symba as well! Loved it. His songs do truly hit and years ago my big bro DJ put me on him when he did that "Backwards" i had to listen to it 4 times to be sure and been listening since. Keep moving forward people, they say dont forget history, i say dont forget memories cause memories are stronger than history. History can be rewritten, memories can't! Peace world
I heard Joyner lucas and jelly roll new song today and sent it straight to my sister after 18 years of using i can finally be happy for her since she called me and said she is getting help and i told her font do it just for us you gotta do it just for u and the kids we gonna stand by her no matter what im just happy she finnaly woke up
I feel this so damn hard. Like I just hit that switch last month, and it's like nothing happened, but I keep getting reminded of it. Little things here and there.
I had to do this and so did she. It hurt like hell but I knew it was right, I'm sure it was for the best to this day but I sincerely missed them for so long I feel off even thinking about it now.
Thank you again, Joyner. It's so relatable to my what I'm going through with my daughter. Because of her addiction, I love her but had to let her go. Thank you
of this generation of MC's he is my favorite without question. always has a topic that hits home to love someone and let them go it's like allowing party of yourself to die but realizing that you will be whole later You just got to make it from now till later. and you have absolutely no idea when later is That's why it hurts so much the uncertainty
as you approach 50 years old you may have those feelings FLOOD back and you will not be able to shut them off again. Filling you with regret or other emotions you then have to figure out. be aware.
Counting the days until I get to see you finally!!! I feel like it’s gonna be an emotional experience because this album is extremely deep. Much love to everyone! 💙
I asked my wife a week ago on if she could think of a reason I'm numb when someone I know and care about dies. She's been with me for 18 years and knows how many people I have lost in that time period and I've told her about most of the people I lost prior. Friends & Family. It's a few hundred people most of them I grew up with and to many died way to young and 4 people I lost in the past 3 weeks but I don't feel sadness, depression or anger so I cut everyone out to try and figure out how this is possible. My wife said that with the number of people I have lost I have become number and it's not that I don't care I just don't understand or comprehend how to process this right now but one day it's going to hit me like crazy and I won't be able to stop the emotional flood that comes with it
Its one of the hardest things ine can do in life......but everyone can, some have a quicker switch then others......it may take yrs, it may take months it may take days....for some it can be instantly.....doesnt mean you dont still live them but sometumes yiu cant watch the one you love self destruct befirw your eyes, ir use you to that end......sometimes the best thing for both is to let them go
Unfortunately it is possible and sometimes we have to let them go so we can get past them choosing that lifestyle. I am the oldest and I have 3 siblings completely whipped out. One sister just left rehab a few days ago,and this song is/was our conversation 😢 💔
Anybody who’s either been an addict or dealt with one, ya, that’s gonna happen. 100% I’m an alcoholic and almost everybody gave up on me. That’s a real ass song.
He got a point, I’ve become numb to the world, I swear I love my children & future wife but I literally feel no emotion twords them or my siblings. I watched a child get attacked by his dog and I felt nothing, I was literally looking at his gashed eye & the old me would’ve felt something for the kid but now I have to make a physical effort to not seem like I’m a emotionless robot. Only thing I’m scared of is if I became violent & ending up on a violence spree.
Pain is all I know and yes you just get use to it. My switch works on everything thing and and every one else but one person and it’s killing me. I just don’t know why I can’t turn it on Thanks babe I hope it was worth it Women have no idea the damage cheating causes
I’m a 26 year old woman who’s 5 years clean! I have a 16 month old and am so proud of my self for getting my life perfect and back together before bringing my child into this world. I think that the most selfish loser thing you can do is do drugs after becoming a parent where a life is solely relying on you! I pray for everyone affected by addiction especially the children!
