    Keep on keeping on! I am 29 years sober. I regret that my son and daughter had to go through having alcoholic parents. I feel strong, haven't been tempted yet, and I understand everything is a "yet". Be strong, I'm rooting for you.

    He’s obviously emotional in this interview and is evidently holding back his heart pouring out. I adore him. :)

    Hey Walker I have been clean and sober for 3yrs and 8 months. It isnt easy its a battle everyday but I know I will make it with Gods help and my family's help. My biggest supporter passed away on 12/2/2021 and ny last promise to him was that I would never give up or give in. I really love your music and it reaches me when im down. Please continue to write and perform awsome music. AGAIN THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO PUT OUT AWSOME MUSIC. MAY YOU BE BLESSED IN ALL OF YOUR ENDEAVORS. LOVE Heather B.

    He's just genuine. He's who he is and isn't afraid to admit it and talk about it. That's real, not like all of these fake artists just faking it for the money. Anything for the almighty dollar. Look how Walkers taken off like a rocket. Why? Because he's that hidden gem that's been found. And man is he shining. God bless him. We can all learn from him. Stay positive and patient and everything will work out for you.

    Walker, keep up the faith because it only get easier if your serious about it. I put my faith in Jesus. It seams like you are on the right track. Im a father also and it’s amazing how our kids can affect our own lives and the paths we will take to make sure they don’t travel the same roads we went down. I volunteered in celebrate recovery helping others for years, keep up the daily fight.

    This is exactly … EXACTLY what it is and feels like to battle a bad habit. I’ve gone through the same thing as well, where I’ve dreamt that I messed up and I HATE myself for it, then I wake up and I have to go touch my child’s face and hands to make sure I’m not dreaming.

  • @randyhawthorne7730

    If you want to hear what absolute honesty sounds like about addiction then listen to this man because he speaks nothing but truth. I've been battling some things myself for years that I told no one about and probably never will. That may not be the right thing to do but much like this man I'm just going to be honest.

    people are so different. I adore being alone. I try hard not to have to speak some days, and get upset if someone calls and ruins my streak. I adore my own company. Everyday is filled with learning. Not enough hours in the day to satisfy my curiosity about the world. People would be better served if they had more interest in the world around them and less focus on themselves.

    Walker, i came a cross your music at the perfect time it seems. Prescription and you broke up with me have kind of became my go to songs lately after my ex of five years walked out on me and my daughter. Just to find out that not even a month later she is dating someone else. They have been helping face the days.

    Why can't you make a CD that people can buy and play in the privacy of there home.I love Fancy like it's a pick me up song when things are so bad in the world. You can't turn on the news with out hearing so much sadness. I know what you are going through walker,if it's not booze it's drugs. Hang in there you have a family that is a good support system alot of people don't have that. God loves you. And who knows when you get tired of of singing Fancy Like songs there's always GOSPEL!! Stay strong 👍🙏.
