Never in a million yrs did i think a song i listened to in my youth would at some point become a reality of truth. Fortunately im far away from my addiction just for today
I've been clean 1 day. Boy is it rough. I feel like death walking. I'm going to try my best and stick to sobriety. Tired of ending up in the hospital or psychiatric ward. I know that there is so much more to life than being a slave to my addiction.
@@jasonbarnes6320 You're right, there is so much more to life. Day one is a pretty important day. Now you know you can do it for one day. Now that you know that you can be absolutely certain that you can do it today. You got this.
So many memories.. listen to this as a teen shooting up amfetamin, then in my 20's shooting up heroin. One year clean, still gives me the hoosbumbs listening to this
You know when you hear a song and the last 20 years of your life - what you can remember of it- flashes through your mind? I have a few songs that do that. I wish I could have truly heard those songs for the warning they were. So many dead now. Recovery is harder when you focus on the past. Just for today I'll focus on today.
"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present." -Alice Morse Earle/ ancient unknown origins (Though there is much debate over the origin of this quote, usually starting at Yesterday is History. Often credited to Eleanor Roosevelt. Though the origin of the quoteis ancient predates modern English. The earliest recorded is by St.Marher 1225.)
This one is also really good: Many people will walk in and out of your life, But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; If he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He, who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me.... You brought another friend.... And then there were 3.... We started our group.... Our circle of friends.... And like that circle.... There is no beginning or end.... Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
Me too. Especially trying to kick the addiction off heroin and opiates. It really hits home for me. I get depressed coming off of heroin and opiates tho. Been sober 3 days from heroin and opiates. 1st two days were hell. Today is a little better. Got some sleep meds and muscle relaxers and some kratom. I feel bout 75% better that 1st and 2nd day just trying to cold Turkey it.
Day one I’m not going to drink tonight I want to but I know I don’t want to more. I don’t know how I got the this point but my younger self would be extremely disappointed , i know I need to change before i push away what really matters to me.
A song of my youth however affects me so much more as an adult. The addict not being me but that of my mother. She has been in active drug addiction all of her adult life. She is 58 and has been sober for 7 months. While I'm happy for her I am still in recovery from her
Love, peace, and forgiveness. I hope you and your mom are well. Your feelings are totally valid. It is my hope that more people can see that nearly all addicts (no matter what the addiction) are trying to self medicate , often undiagnosed conditions. (I'm in no way saying pointing the finger at you about this, for the record, it's just a thought I wanted to share) There are various reasons for the lack of diagnosis, but often they stem from unaware of the symptoms, shame, taboo subjects (particularly when it comes to mental health), and generational ideals (men having to remain strong and not discuss their feelings, issues with medical coverage, the misguided and woefully incorrect notion that mental health conditions, medical "professionals" casting judgment and bias on their patients that equates to favoritism for some and terrible neglect for others... really there's so much more possible)
Just had my 1 year anniversary of being clean from perscription pain pills and herion. I remember listening to this song at my lowest point of my life.
Yeah it made me cry. Been 3 days clean. 1st two days were rough. Felt like death. Didn't eat at all. I got some kratom and muscle relaxers and valium yesterday. Feeling bout 75% better now. I know I can beat the opiate and heroin addiction. I'm so tired of being a slave to that stuff.
@@danseth5775 I feel u about on suboxone. However, I have a high hopes for u. When u r ready to kick the suboxone, ur will power will kick in. I tapered myself off the suboxone also... And I know u can do it too. 😊👍
I love this song. I know it’s about drugs but it makes me think of other addictions because it speaks of coping with pain and I think that’s what a lot of addictions are.
100%, right. They're coping with something. There's a rather larger statistical percentage of people who use drugs or alcohol are self medicating for underlying issues that are undiagnosed. Occasionally they are also self medicating for conditions which they have been diagnosed either because they can't afford treatment, are ashamed or afraid to seek it, or have tried to go about it through the proper channels and medication isn't affordable or they're denied proper medications because medical professionals judge them for some form of discrimination. Then you talk with 10 other people with the exact same medical problems and they are given the medications needed without a second glance. It's pretty messed up and sad.
That’s what all addictions are…. This is a beautiful song 😭I just want ppl to be more educated on the dangers of this stuff things like alcohol shouldn’t be normalized when so many of us are predisposed to addiction
The passion, pain, and raw emotion of this song!!! I may not do drugs or drink but I am an addict! I am 47 and I'm addicted to caffeine and nicotine! Been smoking since I was 17! When she says " If you don't have it you're on the other side" that resonates! If I'm low on or out of smokes and cash I restructure how I spend so I can make sure I get more. I've tried every drug except fentanyl, crack, and meth! And still cigarettes stuck!
I was listening to this on my mp3 riding my bike while going on the seashore in the period I quitt H....a very low point of my life, like we've all been there....but full of hope at the same time...like the first day of the rest of your life kinda....you know the story
What a Timeless and awesome talented Flemish - Belgian sibling song!!!! Proud of our own people who are simply genuine and gifted and NEVER GIVE UP!!! RESPECT AND LOVE
Listening to this song I can relate to. My habit was cocaine. In my lowest point of my life I was doing a gram a day. Living with an abusive boyfriend who would get high with me and take his anger out on me. One point of my life I wanted to die. But I survived, been clean for almost two years.
This band I seen open for Alanis Morissette. I could smell the pot in the air but wasn't using at the time. It came to fruition for me and I have struggled with addiction most of my life.
J’ai toujours adoré cette chanson depuis mes 14 ans sans savoir de quoi elle parlait…puis j’ai compris 😔 j’ai toujours baigné dans cet atmosphère et ce n’était pas le mien🙏✨💔
STR8 FYUR! 4 the only mold of feminine, divine perfection in this dimension! Thank you mommy and yes I will marry her. She is exactly like you and Sissy/Twanya!!!) ( So is your extraordinary grandson!!!) Until we get there! Love forever!!)
"Deeper you stick it in your vein" .... When I was a teenager in the early 90s I knew what this meant, but I didn't understand the depth of it. Never would have believed in a million years that just 10 years later (early 2000s) I would be slamming oxycotin into my veins or up my nose. Along with methadone and eating the gel of fentanyl pain patches (duragesic) I have so many flash backs with just that 1 sentence. Only those who went through it can fully understand. I got clean in 2008 and stayed clean all those years until January - April of this year (2022) 😮💨😔 I screwed up and started snorting Grey Death Heroin (mixture of heroin and all kinds of fentanyl analogues) I'm clean from it now, but I'm hooked on Suboxone instead because I wanted to get clean from the heroin and fentanyl. Unfortunately Kratom just wasn't strong enough to take on fentanyl withdrawals. That street fentanyl is no joke. I didn't know that it stores itself in the fat of the human body. Just like THC does... I waited 24hrs since my last dose of fentanyl and then I took a suboxone. Never again do I want to feel precipitated withdrawals like that!!!! That experience alone makes me want to never touch that street fentanyl again. The high lasted barely 45 minutes. Not like pharmaceutical fentanyl that'll make you feel high 4-6hrs. Definitely not worth the precipated withdrawal risk!!!
Never in a million yrs did i think a song i listened to in my youth would at some point become a reality of truth. Fortunately im far away from my addiction just for today
I can so relate but thank God I am clean just for today as well!!
You go girl! Keep fighting!
Just for today.

16 day's sober...I got this and this song definitely helps me along the way.

Hope you're doing ok now
Congrats brother
stay clean Bro
Good luck bro
I hope your doin well👊🏻
reminder: not every addiction has to be a substance
Cell-phones
For sure! Freaking texting! I am a truck driver and texting is way more worse than Covid!!

Day at a time...
Sounds like a cliche, but I'm 11,000 days in sobriety, started with one.
Hang with like minded people, help others, and don't let go
How many days sober have you been now? ❤

This band I seen open for Alanis Morissette. I could smell the pot in the air but wasn't using at the time. It came to fruition for me and I have struggled with addiction most of my life.
You've struggled with addiction to weed most your life? Or are you referring to other things?
@@ColdSun87 many other things. Substances/alcohol.
You here because marijuana? Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck d*ck for coke.
It is not a habit, it's cool. I FEEL ALIVE
If I don’t have it I’m on the other side
Many yrs of doin herion this song is so deep
I love this song
Love this song
agreed
Unfortunately in the depths of being a helpless alcoholic so it hits home.
So .... how you doing these days?
Rest in peace mamacita, i'll see you on the other side.

Bad ass song here
I'm not an addict maybe it's a lie
4 months sober from meth:3
All lyrics has an impact of my whole personality, im a methbone and a pothead, But you’re on the other side bro you won’t get it
This song intro sounds so depressing
It's reality...
It shows how it all starts then leads to heroin
❤
I don't do drug no more my mom things I still do it fuck it feels so bad man fuck this
When do i get credit for the things i created and gave to them? Why do i still have to pay in the reality i made?
I bet old freshwater Fritz wishes he had a labia.
Yer I am✌🏻👍🏻
I don’t 😂i
.
Loool
You don't have to spell ' oohhooooo oohhooooo
We can hear that ourself , so cringe dude
People came here to hear the song not hear ur rehab stories
🤨🤨🤨
Absolute toss.....
WTF are you talking about? Don't read the comments then. We all need help sometimes.
Why? Hearing sober stories inspires sobriety. Maybe you're not ready and that's ok one day you will be. ❤️
