Sorry about your loss, as a mother of 1 former addict and 1 relapser. I am always wondering if, the call I get will be the last.. My son is in jail at moment, which I am ok with- means I can breathe for awhile. Without the worrying. My daughter is the one been clean awhile now, met a great fella and plans on getting her kids back. She spends every other weekend with them. She now works hard also.
Very lonely place to pass. Seen a few in my 28 years working in corrections. The saddest for me were young men committing suicide. Once a person goes to prison the never forget it. Prison is a kind of loneliness you never for get
This song saved my daughter. One night I sang this at a neighbourhood bar, it was Karakoe time. I dedicated to her. You see she is an addict. Her drug of choice at this time was anything she could get her hands on :( After I sang this song, she cried and held me so tight, she whispered she was ready for rehab!! My daughter has been straight since that day!!!!
An active cigarette smoker age 8, active alcoholic at age 9 and drug user age 10 and after over 40 years of use on more than off I am free of all the above. A three year active member of my church, an active volunteer in my church and community. A widow twice and mother of three adult children with one grandchild, and we are all, due to the grace of God, active in one another's lives. Thank you Jesus. Amen
Took my 14 year old son to see Black Crowes for his first concert. He is 40 now and still remembers the show. He returned the favor and introduced me to Tool in 2000. It changed me forever. Music has been our bond since our first concert together.
Amen. Music appreciation with my daughter got us thru 6yrs living in Saudi, then us living alone with only each other in the US for 4yrs trying to rebuild a life left a lifetime ago. No one can come between us...not even her father. We are still building, brick by brick and tucked mortar.😊
My husband died with 18 years clean. I sang this song to him when we took him off life support. I have stayed clean by the grace of god. He had 1 day more clean then me. I miss him so much.
Super Proud of you both . Strong Couple ,! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦 I want to say your very lucky to have had that time, and look at you , I’m so proud of you for staying strong inside,and your doing it,and setting a beautiful example,that this can be beat sweetheart. Hang tight ok. My name is Michele,if you need an ear ok. Your not alone ok. 🌈🌈🌈❤️❤️❤️💕
Started smoking cigarettes at 9, alcohol 15, weed, coke 17, Crack 25, heroin 29 clean 1 yr I'm 51!!! I've lived a hell of a INTERESTING LIFE, a life where i met some of the best AND worst people. But, am in a very good place now. May God be with everyone who is struggling! It does and can get better.
I did three tours in Vietnam got into drugs and alcohol really heavy. It almost destroyed me. By the grace of God, I was able to turn my life around; now clean.
Thank you service , you survive 3 tours in Vietnam , my real dad came back in 1971 or 72 and promptly left my 20 y/o Mom & Me . I get it 'War is hell '. But I met him when I was 21 & he ceased all contact with my late Mom & Me . Hence he is a Prick. Tom Jones is his name 'door gunner ' on a heli , US Army , 'guessing 70-72 or 69-71. JIC. Great job puttin down the D & Booze.
May God Shed his Grace upon everyone here who Listens and reads.. now 2023 heard this song from its beginning.. never once looses it meaningful significance it puts on one’s soul. 💯🇺🇸💯🌪🌎🙏👀
One of the most profound songs ever written. Saw them perform it on Saturday night live in 91. I keep coming back to it after all these years. It really hits some of us deep and always will.
Much love to everyone out there that's been- broken,alone,damaged,scared,hurt, lost + in pain, life never gets easier but it will get better we r all strong enough to survive what life brings
I just recently escaped an abusive, toxic, drug filled relationship and this song hits SO close to home, I cant help but cry. I had to live it in order to understand the meaning of this beautiful song ❤
Chelsea Grin Good job getting out. I got out 4 months ago. Stayed high 24/7, depressed, and blaming myself for being so judgmental on their behavior towards me. New start! We be us now and do what is good for us! We deserve that. I’m real happy for ya!🙂
Lying about being an orphan after you meet her family. Smiling when the pain from that syringe hits. The lock of hair from her son. The cross from Jesus whom she has not met, yet. This is the perfect song describing heroin addiction.
I’m not or was an heroin addict but been addicted to pain pills for 30 years. I’ve been talking to Angels my entire life just about. In the Catholic religion we have many angels to pray to. I swear my Guardian Angel has protected me in many situations. I love this song 👼
I met my girlfriend when I was a senior and she was a freshman last year, and although she doesn't use drugs, she does come from a broken, abusive home. I remember when she first started talking to me, I told her about Jesus and Christianity; I really believe after 18 years of my life of never having love or a girlfriend, I really believe Jesus put this girl in my life. She's my best friend and she's perfect.
If only you had known Me before the accident, cause with that grand collision came a great consequence.... 1998 by THE MOST HIGH did this by design.... pronounced dead for 2 minutes Kindred Spirits hospital.... MOST HIGH sent to violence rung of hell.... wasn't awake or aware.... MOST HIGH brought Me back... by design..... Your sins have been forgiven MY Son..... This was by MOST HIGH's design..... Five Commands For Fighting.... From God.... Faith in God.... I'm Jesus Christ and I'm a sinner.... Day Walker Eric
My dad took his life when I was 9. He would always play the Black Crowes in the garage and smoke a cigarette. This was his favorite band. I remember all the neighbors talking about how the could here the music all the way down the street. Long live dad❤️
I talk to angels Every Single Day. My niece died at 36 from Huntingtons disease. My husband who I spent more than half my life with passed. I'm lost...lonely and I thank God for my music 💔
God bless 🙏 my Aunt Margaret who passed at 40 years..Too soon, and this was her favorite song. I'm 43 with 7 weeks in a large mass brain tumor diagnosis after a seizure. Im hoping for the best outcome, but sometimes God plants real messages ...I mean, since 35 God was telling me I'll be gone in my mid 40's. Kept telling my family I heard this spoken to me and I should prepare..God Bless you 🙏 ❤ and your family. Dont ignore 3 week headaches especially on one side of your head.. much love
Just lost my mamaw tonight to corona virus, she was a meth addict and had a very hard life but was a fighter. Your in a better place now and not in pain anymore. Rest in peace I love you mamaw 🙏❤
I found this song and played this for my wife , at the time she was having problems and struggling with being able to tell what was reality and what wasn't. She was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after us being married 13 years and having two kids. So I told her that those voices she heard in her head had to be angels because she was mine Sent From Heaven !!! so I found the song begin to play it, as she began to cry !!!
Angels and demons have always been real. Their existence is just denied these days. Angels infuse thoughts that are from God. Demons infuse thoughts from the devil. He hates God and seeks to hurt Him by turning people away from Him, convincing people He and the devil and angels and demons are not real (or worse, that God and the angels that serve Him are the bad guys, rather than Satan and the fallen angels, also called demons.) The devil tempts us to open doors to the devil through breaking the commandments and dabbling in the occult. He then can legally torment us. If she is Catholic, she can return to the Sacrament of confession and Mass and pray the rosary daily and adore Jesus and be liberated. If she is not, she is welcome to convert. Many of the Catholic Churches have become modernist which is not the fullness of truth and hence does not contain the full liberating power contained within the fullness of the Church’s teaching. God is good. He loves her. He sent His Son to be born, live and die for all people, and He also gave us a Mother in Mary- because, as children need a loving Father, so too a loving Mother… three Hail Mary’s for all who read this.
Jace Hudgens 🙏🏻 and, just be there for him💗He don’t need to hear anything right now! I’m sure he had heard enough, been judged, put down, etc. your brother is in a very delicate state right now and a not so bright place:( so, best to just Be there for him and be kind☺️ Mostly, never bring up the Drug subject to him!!!! Wish him the very best and pray that God will wake him up in his own way🙏🏻💜
this song is an absolute classic from the 90s .. life was so much easier then .. i myself am an addict & have been for the past 30 years .. damn .. life has passed so quickly
I'm a pastor first time seeing all these comments if any of you need to talk just just talk I'm here for you all and proud of you who is still going strong God bless
Hey man, I grew up in the church and I feel like God isn't all that worried that I enjoy heroin but I want to quit. It seems like the spiritual side of it is moot for me, but if I don't figure something out I'm not gonna make it. What say you?
@@lambot3g sounds like you are grabing the wheel and taking control of your own life, you have free will to do as you please but is it pleaseing to you and others is what must be asked...glad to hear your ready for a change
Anyone using music to heal yourself from what ever it might it be you are strong and you can get through it all. Music heals the soul along with a lot of other help, you all should be proud and hopefully you will get through
This is the first time since I've been able to listen to music since my Son passed away in 2018. My Son had a ton of songs saved on RUclips and it's taken me this long to start listening to them. And you're so right about music heals our souls!! Prayers to all out there in this world, it's not easy but my Son's famous words, "It is what it is."
This song always had meaning for me, but about 2 months ago I almost died...and I was in a void and I was begging Michael the archangel to let me stay...I am here still and so grateful to be alive! I have four sons and two nieces that need me here on earth. I am grateful for angels!
I talk to Him like I would talk to anyone else. I believe many people genuinely need professional therapy, but for me, I chose to have conversations with God when I lost my husband at 38 from a heart attack. Whatever works for people, I'm all for it.
No one can judge you but the good Lord and I've not heard of him hiring any help on the judgment department. Unless you have swim in what drowned me you'll never know my struggles my pain my failures... But thanks to our awesome God for not judging me just loving me and my owning and realizing I was an addict my music gave me the will to find some bits of strength to get up out the dark deep whole I was in. There was no where left to go but up. I am proudly a recovering addict now for 6 years years June 2 2018 Ive been clean of crack cocaine. Can I get a AMEN. 🙏🙏🙏💯🪷🪷
I am 13 months clean have taken hep c treatment and completed it 3 weeks ago. Was on a 5 year daily meth burn. I am 66 years old and free. Life is beautiful
I used to play and sing this song on acoustic (Open-E tuning) for my best friend's family after he passed away in 2009. Best friends since 1995. Life is short, I have a kid now, and I should get back in touch with them. Enjoy the time you have here. Take no time for granted. I lost so much time reminiscing when I could have been making better memories.
I WAS ADDICTED FOR 20 YEARS AND NOW GOD AND THE ANGLES AND MY FAMILY IN HEAVEN PLUS JESUS HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH A NEW START IN MY JOURNEY OF LIFE BY GIVING ME A NEW JOB,NEW HOME AND A CLEAN AND SOBER LIFE I PRAY FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE THE SAME CHANCE AS ME
When this was first released only drug I knew personally was weed. As I got older I got into other things (anything) honestly. Always loved this song. Now im 6 years clean from meth about 8 years clean from opiates & I still have a cross around my neck, except now we have met. I praise Jesus everyday for rescuing me from the depths of hell. Ill never go back.

Yes me too. I've been through so much in my life and this song just helps me get threw all the scars that still are left over from all the pain from others that caused so much damage and hurt in my past relationships in this life.
I've always felt a soul connection w/ this song I was given a hard life I made even harder to live. Not just in addiction but surviving what helped me to become one .I've now got 18yrs sober shocked ,proud and grateful everyday
I feel the same way about this song. About a month ago a neighbor of mine played this song loud enough I could hear it by my apt. I just stood by my garden silently, just taking this song in
My daughter was killed in a car wreck and I wish I could talk to Angels. My drug to help me deal was Cocaine; I needed to be numb. I quit the Cocaine but the pain remains the same. I just love this song ❤
She is with you. Just breathe and allow signs to talk to you in message. There is no such thing as death. Transition to a dimension of unconditional love. Peace be with you ❤️
This song has so much meaning to me as I was the best mother I was able to be up against the Satan I don't even believe in yet he blackmailed my family against me including my very own children. It drove me to addiction and from that point, I became just THAT. I don't know no lover. I was abandoned by every soul I ever loved and it has gone on and on. All I ever had for each and everyone of them was LOVE. I LOST ALL TO A NARCISSISTIC CYCLE. I didn't know which end was up. But I never expected to lose my grandkids too. Yes!!, I talk to Angels and they know me by my name. I AM OF DIVINITY AND IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME?? IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
Sometimes, everything we love is taken from us. It’s God knocking. He wants us to let Him in so HE can comfort us, but not many of us do…not many of us know Him enough to trust Him…. You, like so many others, made the mistake of turning to drugs for comfort instead… It’s considered an idol when you put other things above Him…. We’re not allowed into Heaven at the end of our lives if we have idols, or things we trust more than God. You must give them up sooner than later so you can enjoy His Graces here while you still walk on earth. May God bless you and keep you. Amen.
I do not believe God will turn his back on his children due to an addiction.. That's a very sad thing to say.. So anyone that died of an overdose gies to hell. I don't think so. We are all God's children.
40 days clean today and looking to find that true self of mine to keep and hold on to forever. Have finally found the hope and desire to carry on and move forward in my sobriety and recovery. Re-Learning to live life again which is a hard feat, but it's getting better every day. Grateful to be sober today. Have faith in 'you' and life will work itself out
God, such a classic song. I'm not gonna lie, but when I'm hanging out with my country friends and songs like this and from Skynyrd, Bad Company, etc start to play, I get a feeling that hits the soul. Drink one, smoke one, share one, teach one, know one, because in the end we are all one. Human. Blood is the same color as the Biblical Nile.
I'm 63 and I've never felt a single song as deep and Kind of hard as this one. But man! It's like he just reached in to my soul .with this one it feels so real. And I know that you should feel good music but this is the best and worst of all together I've ever heard . You the man. Love love love you and your music jelly roll. And God bless you and your family. ❤
My daughter and I shared a love for music. She lived a few states away. Monthly I would send her a song and less regularly she would send me one. She committed suicide in Aug 2023 at the age of 36. I sent her this song a couple of weeks before that. She replied she had always loved it. My sweet angel!!!
Homeless people are wasting time begging for money when they could be volunteering in the community or creating businesses instead. Let’s change that with the Universal Basic Income. Or by abolishing money. Let’s give everyone over the age of 13 a guaranteed minimum income of $1,500ish USD/month! Mining
We are all talkin to angels and good for you getting it takes a real trooper I kind of gone thru the same but finally came to my senses also I am proud of you and sorry for your lost
Idk why I'm sharing this really but, my mama dedicated this to me the day I got out of Prarie view at the age of 15 for cutting and pill popping. I come from a long line of addicts on my dads side of the family. I'm 24 now with an amazing life clean and ni self harming, when things get tough I find myself on this song. No matter how hard things are you're strong and things will get better!! ❤
My daughter went thru self harm. That was the MOST HELPLESS feeling I've ever had. I had prepared myself for boys, sneaking out, partying etc but she skipped all of that and went straight to the end game. She was 13. Her first puppy love has just dumped her that week.. She blamed me because I told her he was a good kid and she trusted me and I let her down... Her friend two doors down committed suicide on Sunday night.. Just hours after playing in our yard.. But there's more to her story.. Then she had her first cycle on Monday. She found out her friend died when it was announced at school over the PA system in a very cold manner. She went to the bathroom to be alone when her very recent ex told her "I wish it was you that died"!!! She went to the girls bathroom, (Thank God she didn't use the single stall room..) she broke the mirror and took that broken glass and started hacking at her wrists. She meant it... No hesitation cuts... All deep but thankfully she mixed the vein a friend of hers came looking for her and found her sitting In the floor, crying and covered in blood
@@Susan-oz3eg oh my gosh Susan!! I'm so sorry for what u are going thru & what ur baby is going thru right now! I kno exactly what she us going thru unfortunately self harm of every kind was my path for far too long. The best advice I can give u is the pain is going to be for awhile she is going to need to cry & scream & say things ur not going to understand bc of not only the things she is going thru in life but the hurt that she must feel to hurt herself that way is so deep it doesnt just go away any time soon. A lot of ppl r going to try & tell you how to help her. I kno I am& i don't kno u but I kno that pain & I would try to get her the best help possible there is a place called Mercy Ministries that is a place for girls a Christ based place they help girls with cutting. Eating disorders & ect. . . if you need to talk or want to talk more... I'm here.. im Lace by the way! 🙂God Bless I'm praying for you& your family!
Mallory Rodriguez I can relate to you because I was a cutting 10 pulse years I fell off the wagon two days life is struggle I lost my identical twin she was 39 that was the worst day of my life the one I trust you with my secrets I was molested at the age of two until I was 16 You’re a beautiful young lady and you can do this to you soon God bless you
Clean six months, best feeling ever on my life!!!been messed up since I was 15, when I lost my brother, he was my best friend, all we ever had was each other, with an abusive so called dad!!! Jeffery Lee Mask I miss you like crazy, and you always knew I loved you!!!
Love this song so much! I lost My Momma in 2005 to that monster called CANCER! I think of Her every time I hear this! No She wasnt an Addict nor am I but I do talk to Her every night and She My Angel!!! #loveandmissmymomma!
11 years sober. Best decision I ever made and worse hell I have ever been thru. Prayers and love to everyone struggling. You have the strength in you. I promise.
This song brings back good memories. This used to be one of my moms favorite songs.. my father and step mom never really talked about her death or gave anything to us to help us heal.. at least I have this. ❤ I miss you, mom.
Black Crowes...the first band I ever saw live (they didn't play this song, but I can't also forget "too hard to handle")...it was in 1991 when they opened for AC/DC, Metallica, Mötley Crue and Queensryche during the "Monsters of Rock" Tour in Munich...
Just wanna put a prayer out there for us low life's. Could you imagine feeling the pain makes everything better. Lord bless those in suffering and carry the weak in mind. Fill with love and help us to love ourself again. God bring us peace, Lord Jesus, Amen.
Herb Jr some of us hurt so deep that pain is the only thing that can ease the pain we are going threw. if that makes sense to you but you have had to been really deep to understand a statement like this. either way best wishes in your journey called life.
My grandma dedicated this song to me bc I took bad path around the age of 14 took me 3 years to get my life back. I'm 20 and lost her in January. She always told that she wanted to be present when I get married and have kids. My bf proposed a 2 weeks ago so it has been really hard and at time I think about going back to my addiction but I know she's watching over me 😔❤
I commented 13 months ago when I had a little over a year clean from a 10 year opiate/heroin addiction. August 8th 2019 I celebrated 27 months! Never lose hope #wedorecover
Donna West People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing. That’s why i recommend it daily! Congratulations, you opened the gates of hell and you let yourself out! You’re an amazingly beautiful person!!
If you were a teenager in the 90s, this will take you back. Back to a better more simpler time. A time when life was so great. Here's to the 90s, best of times, best of music.
This song holds a special place in anyones heart who has ever been there and lived to talk about it. Stay strong. There is a life after addiction. I am living proof. 25 Years Clean. On a more humble side of things, it took me a number of tries to get there. Never stop trying !!!!
My husband loved this song he said it reminds him of his Mom..He,s.with his Momma now and he is in the arms of his angel.I wished you were still here Curt. But the Good Lord was ready to take you home
To EVERYONE who is clean and sober, I dont know you, I dont know your story. All l I do know is that you are beautiful, amazing, and I am DAMN PROUD OF YOU!!!!
Been alcohol free for over ten years and it took a drunk pissing all over himself in a jail cell and a prayer to God to take this from me and he did,right then and there,it's a feeling I can never forget,thanks again Lord
I was raised by my Grama, too. My Grama liked this song, even if she was never an addict. She still understood sorrow and pain and she said this song was like a balm for the sorrowful soul. Grandmothers are the best thing God ever made. I am so glad you are getting time with your Grama - that means the world. It really does. Cherish every single second with her and never stop telling others about her. You are her legacy. I'd listen to anyone's stories about their Gramas, good or bad. I guess I just miss mine. Love and hugs, sweetheart!
Angels sure do awaken the truth in our hearts.❤️Good or bad we are awoken at one time or another.Good or poison remains in our control.God Bless those who are struggling.🙏This song is chilling.This truth is as real as it gets..
I'm almost two years clean, methamphetamine is one hella drug and took my grandma's last day in earth from me. instead of spending time with her I was gettin high. 11-13-15 .
My Wife is very sick, we have been married 11 years and have been together for 12. She sent me this song when i left the hospital the other night and just broke down in tears. I love you so much Tammy your the most beautiful person God has ever created and I've been such a lucky man to have had such a great life with you. In my soul we are together for eternity. Husbands please dont take your time for granted, enjoy every moment, the happy, the sad, and the beautiful. Tammy I love you more than the oceans 💗💕👫💘
Ryan Ward, I understand. What was important one day, doesn't matter the next. Priorities changing every day. I feel for you brother. Can't have happy without sad. Nothing is warm without cold. peace
geoffreyjones2000 Thank you for the kind words friend. Just trying to keep myself together and try not to think why theirs so much pain in this world.

I lost my mama from accidentally over dosed I feel you so much I was going to play this at her service but my sister and niece held her service without me and said that I killed her they are addicts and they want to hide the truth about her addiction and they're not going to anything but to try to make it invisible to everyone else but I'm not going to hide it and they won't talk to me and my family are afraid of me cause I'm going to speak to the truth about what they are and not talking to me anymore I don't care they have done a lot to me and it hurts but alone I am just praying for them I would never do anything bad to them I love them I will always love them all but yes addiction will bring heartache and I have been praying about it and you I feel you on that loss and my prayers are with you and your family God bless you and your family God will bless you and help you with the heart ache I know that for sure but sometimes it takes a lot of time to finally see that blessings on you and the pain it won't ever be able to make it go away but trust me I know that you will be in The healing and I promise you will be able to make sense of it all and my friend I love you and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers God bless you all and hope is what you hold on to and Faith
@@melindawilkerson5350 The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy!! Thats why we must surrender to Jesus Christ!! Then he will do good works in us...and turn your life around!!
Mom of 2 angels, 10 years clean of heroine, pain pills, and cocaine. After having babies it really changed my life. I thank God and still talk to angels , if you are struggling this is a message of light and love and know you are gonna be ok ❤❤❤
I'm struggling but.... I'm gonna be ok. I walk over 3 miles each way 6 days a week to get off heroin. I move nearly 400 miles away only to find the same thing I was on in Dallas. I decided I was sick of slavery and wasn't gonna do any longer. Funny thing is I started getting clean and my life is falling apart now. Anyone know why that is?
I'm a addict of alcoholism and I'm 120 Days clean an a structure fire fighter and heading to college again for thermal engineering with HVAC and I'm a national wildlands fire fighter keep pushing to your dreams y'all your not alone ❤
My husband was a heroin addict and died in prison at the age of 37 still miss him and now I'm almost 75. God bless you all 💔
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know your pain.
Sorry about your loss, as a mother of 1 former addict and 1 relapser.
I am always wondering if, the call I get will be the last.. My son is in jail at moment, which I am ok with- means I can breathe for awhile. Without the worrying.
My daughter is the one been clean awhile now, met a great fella and plans on getting her kids back. She spends every other weekend with them. She now works hard also.
Very lonely place to pass. Seen a few in my 28 years working in corrections. The saddest for me were young men committing suicide. Once a person goes to prison the never forget it. Prison is a kind of loneliness you never for get
💗
So sorry for your loss
This song saved my daughter. One night I sang this at a neighbourhood bar, it was Karakoe time. I dedicated to her. You see she is an addict. Her drug of choice at this time was anything she could get her hands on :( After I sang this song, she cried and held me so tight, she whispered she was ready for rehab!! My daughter has been straight since that day!!!!
To get clean is nothing short of a miracle!! To stay clean is the grace from above!!!
Awesome, thanks 4 sharing... spiritual experience. Sounds like her spirit was touched.
Well done
Loves to yall
Legendary man I'm so happy to hear that 🙌👏❤🙏

Took my 14 year old son to see Black Crowes for his first concert. He is 40 now and still remembers the show. He returned the favor and introduced me to Tool in 2000. It changed me forever. Music has been our bond since our first concert together.
Tool is one of the best bands in music history.
I agree! An amazing band, just saw my 15th show in Biloxi in January.
Amen. Music appreciation with my daughter got us thru 6yrs living in Saudi, then us living alone with only each other in the US for 4yrs trying to rebuild a life left a lifetime ago. No one can come between us...not even her father. We are still building, brick by brick and tucked mortar.😊
I think of my sister when I play this song she was a alcoholic for al out of years thank God for his grace
My husband died with 18 years clean. I sang this song to him when we took him off life support. I have stayed clean by the grace of god. He had 1 day more clean then me. I miss him so much.
So very sorry for you Mary:(
May the good Lord Bless you with abundant Love and Peace

Same to you. God bless
One of the most profound songs ever written. Saw them perform it on Saturday night live in 91. I keep coming back to it after all these years. It really hits some of us deep and always will.
Much love to everyone out there that's been- broken,alone,damaged,scared,hurt, lost + in pain, life never gets easier but it will get better we r all strong enough to survive what life brings
U will to moretti no contact orders to detective cousin
Yes. ❤️

I have been all of the above and what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
Never gotten better never will been same before I can remember
I just recently escaped an abusive, toxic, drug filled relationship and this song hits SO close to home, I cant help but cry. I had to live it in order to understand the meaning of this beautiful song ❤
Chelsea Grin Good job getting out. I got out 4 months ago. Stayed high 24/7, depressed, and blaming myself for being so judgmental on their behavior towards me. New start! We be us now and do what is good for us! We deserve that. I’m real happy for ya!🙂
I'm so sorry you went through that. :( I sincerely pray for the ultimate happiness and love for you. Sending you warmth. 💜
Good luck girl you deserve a good life.
111 m.o
I’m in the same situation
This song touches my soul.
Yes. Me too.
Lying about being an orphan after you meet her family. Smiling when the pain from that syringe hits. The lock of hair from her son. The cross from Jesus whom she has not met, yet. This is the perfect song describing heroin addiction.
I’m not or was an heroin addict but been addicted to pain pills for 30 years. I’ve been talking to Angels my entire life just about. In the Catholic religion we have many angels to pray to. I swear my Guardian Angel has protected me in many situations. I love this song 👼
I lost my lovely son to depression in 2013 shortly after his 21st birthday. He is my angle and I talk to him every night !
Bless your souls so heartbreaking. Love n hugs.
So sorry 😐
Bless your souls.
I’m so sorry! ❤️
Thanks for the kind comments! He is with me in everything I do.
I met my girlfriend when I was a senior and she was a freshman last year, and although she doesn't use drugs, she does come from a broken, abusive home. I remember when she first started talking to me, I told her about Jesus and Christianity; I really believe after 18 years of my life of never having love or a girlfriend, I really believe Jesus put this girl in my life. She's my best friend and she's perfect.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU AND HOPEFULLY Y'ALL ARE STILL GOING STRONG!!! ONE DAY AT A TIME TAKE CARE STAY SAFE AND GOD ✝️ BLESS 🕊️ 5JAN22

I lived through these times!! Addiction was and still is rampant!!💕💕💕
Beautiful song ❤❤
Hello from Scotland l!
How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day today?
I found this song and played this for my wife , at the time she was having problems and struggling with being able to tell what was reality and what wasn't. She was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after us being married 13 years and having two kids. So I told her that those voices she heard in her head had to be angels because she was mine Sent From Heaven !!! so I found the song begin to play it, as she began to cry !!!
So sweet 🥰 is she doing ok now?
💚💚💚
May God wrap her in his arms.
It speaks to me the same way I’m also schizoaffective
Angels and demons have always been real. Their existence is just denied these days. Angels infuse thoughts that are from God. Demons infuse thoughts from the devil. He hates God and seeks to hurt Him by turning people away from Him, convincing people He and the devil and angels and demons are not real (or worse, that God and the angels that serve Him are the bad guys, rather than Satan and the fallen angels, also called demons.) The devil tempts us to open doors to the devil through breaking the commandments and dabbling in the occult. He then can legally torment us. If she is Catholic, she can return to the Sacrament of confession and Mass and pray the rosary daily and adore Jesus and be liberated. If she is not, she is welcome to convert. Many of the Catholic Churches have become modernist which is not the fullness of truth and hence does not contain the full liberating power contained within the fullness of the Church’s teaching. God is good. He loves her. He sent His Son to be born, live and die for all people, and He also gave us a Mother in Mary- because, as children need a loving Father, so too a loving Mother… three Hail Mary’s for all who read this.
I just pray that my brother will sober up from heroin. Pray for him
Jace Hudgens 🙏🏻 and, just be there for him💗He don’t need to hear anything right now! I’m sure he had heard enough, been judged, put down, etc. your brother is in a very delicate state right now and a not so bright place:( so, best to just Be there for him and be kind☺️
Mostly, never bring up the Drug subject to him!!!!
Wish him the very best and pray that God will wake him up in his own way🙏🏻💜
Same...

My brother is an addict too man. I understand your pain. I will pray for him. It'll be alright.

this song is an absolute classic from the 90s .. life was so much easier then .. i myself am an addict & have been for the past 30 years .. damn .. life has passed so quickly
💗
I hear you. Completely.
I feel you homie. We're gonna be okay....one day. Much love 🖤🤍
I'm a pastor first time seeing all these comments if any of you need to talk just just talk I'm here for you all and proud of you who is still going strong God bless
You're a cool dude for wanting to help people.
Music is from the heart to heal hearts and minds
I would like to talk.
Hey man, I grew up in the church and I feel like God isn't all that worried that I enjoy heroin but I want to quit. It seems like the spiritual side of it is moot for me, but if I don't figure something out I'm not gonna make it. What say you?
@@lambot3g sounds like you are grabing the wheel and taking control of your own life, you have free will to do as you please but is it pleaseing to you and others is what must be asked...glad to hear your ready for a change
Anyone using music to heal yourself from what ever it might it be you are strong and you can get through it all. Music heals the soul along with a lot of other help, you all should be proud and hopefully you will get through
Everyday !
I really like this song.
YES, The right music lifts my spirit. I struggled my entire life. One for another.. I am free today.. HALLELUJAH
This is the first time since I've been able to listen to music since my Son passed away in 2018. My Son had a ton of songs saved on RUclips and it's taken me this long to start listening to them. And you're so right about music heals our souls!! Prayers to all out there in this world, it's not easy but my Son's famous words, "It is what it is."
Music is saying what you want to convey to yourself and others.😁 it feels good.😎 you can connect.
This song always had meaning for me, but about 2 months ago I almost died...and I was in a void and I was begging Michael the archangel to let me stay...I am here still and so grateful to be alive! I have four sons and two nieces that need me here on earth. I am grateful for angels!
Who here talks to God? And really deeply talk to him ?
Write Him a letter every day. God loves hearing from you.
@@ellenbalcer2944I send her emails
Don't have to, it's heard as I think it. Does anyone really believe otherwise? Experienced from my pov. Known, and never lost.
I talk to Him like I would talk to anyone else. I believe many people genuinely need professional therapy, but for me, I chose to have conversations with God when I lost my husband at 38 from a heart attack. Whatever works for people, I'm all for it.
AMEN!
No one can judge till they walk your path.... only GOD ~ THANK GOD!!!
MsAmos61 preach
If there was such a thing as a god, and for some unknown reason that god cared about judging people, your comment might be true. As is, ummmm, no.
No one can judge you but the good Lord and I've not heard of him hiring any help on the judgment department. Unless you have swim in what drowned me you'll never know my struggles my pain my failures... But thanks to our awesome God for not judging me just loving me and my owning and realizing I was an addict my music gave me the will to find some bits of strength to get up out the dark deep whole I was in. There was no where left to go but up. I am proudly a recovering addict now for 6 years years June 2 2018 Ive been clean of crack cocaine. Can I get a AMEN. 🙏🙏🙏💯🪷🪷

It's always so great to be free!
18 months clean. I am the luckiest man who still talks to Angels! Believe in miracles. Lean into the power deep in the ❤ of it All.
I used to play and sing this song on acoustic (Open-E tuning) for my best friend's family after he passed away in 2009. Best friends since 1995. Life is short, I have a kid now, and I should get back in touch with them. Enjoy the time you have here. Take no time for granted. I lost so much time reminiscing when I could have been making better memories.
Welcome to OUR club. On January 19th, 2023. I had 10 years clean! We take it one day at a time. Congrats!!!!!!
To everyone commenting about their struggles. You are strong. And will make it through. You are loved.
Keep your hearts open to Jesus Christ. He does healings . trust beleive and LOVE ... 😃
Touch of Grey by the Dead really helped me through a tough time
Thanks man

Now im 6 years clean from meth about 8 years clean from opiates & I still have a cross around my neck, except now we have met. I praise Jesus everyday for rescuing me from the depths of hell. Ill never go back.

Yes me too. I've been through so much in my life and this song just helps me get threw all the scars that still are left over from all the pain from others that caused so much damage and hurt in my past relationships in this life.

Me too 😆
You guys are rock stars! Ill never forget this comment.
One day at a time! Way to go❤️
demi? is that you?
I've always felt a soul connection w/ this song I was given a hard life I made even harder to live. Not just in addiction but surviving what helped me to become one .I've now got 18yrs sober shocked ,proud and grateful everyday
I feel the same way about this song. About a month ago a neighbor of mine played this song loud enough I could hear it by my apt. I just stood by my garden silently, just taking this song in
Great Job. 14 years clean myself.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT 35 years clean and sober here...
Sometimes we have to lean into the pain. The only way out is through. We are miracles.
The song just Hits right.. brings me back to the better time of the 1990s. But we are today 31 years for me and congratulations on your 18
My daughter was killed in a car wreck and I wish I could talk to Angels. My drug to help me deal was Cocaine; I needed to be numb. I quit the Cocaine but the pain remains the same. I just love this song ❤
She is with you. Just breathe and allow signs to talk to you in message. There is no such thing as death. Transition to a dimension of unconditional love. Peace be with you ❤️
This song has so much meaning to me as I was the best mother I was able to be up against the Satan I don't even believe in yet he blackmailed my family against me including my very own children. It drove me to addiction and from that point, I became just THAT. I don't know no lover. I was abandoned by every soul I ever loved and it has gone on and on. All I ever had for each and everyone of them was LOVE. I LOST ALL TO A NARCISSISTIC CYCLE. I didn't know which end was up. But I never expected to lose my grandkids too. Yes!!, I talk to Angels and they know me by my name. I AM OF DIVINITY AND IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME?? IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
how do you find which end it up
I pray for your healing and for a future filled with more love and grace ❤️
It sure can never say never. Classic song. Hope things get better for you xx
Sometimes, everything we love is taken from us. It’s God knocking. He wants us to let Him in so HE can comfort us, but not many of us do…not many of us know Him enough to trust Him…. You, like so many others, made the mistake of turning to drugs for comfort instead… It’s considered an idol when you put other things above Him…. We’re not allowed into Heaven at the end of our lives if we have idols, or things we trust more than God. You must give them up sooner than later so you can enjoy His Graces here while you still walk on earth. May God bless you and keep you. Amen.
I do not believe God will turn his back on his children due to an addiction.. That's a very sad thing to say.. So anyone that died of an overdose gies to hell. I don't think so. We are all God's children.
40 days clean today and looking to find that true self of mine to keep and hold on to forever. Have finally found the hope and desire to carry on and move forward in my sobriety and recovery. Re-Learning to live life again which is a hard feat, but it's getting better every day. Grateful to be sober today. Have faith in 'you' and life will work itself out
Five plus year here, a lot of my friend and family are still lost in the booze and what have you. Goood luck on your journey.
Good luck Tom x
Keep on keepin on. Sobriety is AWESOME!
U can do this.
Hope you're doing well!
God, such a classic song. I'm not gonna lie, but when I'm hanging out with my country friends and songs like this and from Skynyrd, Bad Company, etc start to play, I get a feeling that hits the soul. Drink one, smoke one, share one, teach one, know one, because in the end we are all one. Human. Blood is the same color as the Biblical Nile.
You seem like a cool person. Keep that shit up
Well said man. Probably the best way ive ever heard that said man.
And music is the soul man!
And everything in the world is right.

And I know that you should feel good music but this is the best and worst of all together I've ever heard . You the man. Love love love you and your music jelly roll. And God bless you and your family. ❤
My daughter and I shared a love for music. She lived a few states away. Monthly I would send her a song and less regularly she would send me one.
She committed suicide in Aug 2023 at the age of 36.
I sent her this song a couple of weeks before that. She replied she had always loved it.

Hello from Scotland l!
How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day today?
@Kathy Roberts. That’s the power of a good song what’s your favorite song
26 days clean today and do I ever know the feeling of painting my eyes black and smiling when the pain comes God is great 1 day at a time
how's it going now Charlie ???
Charlie Mynatt hang in there Charlie. It's worth it! cheering for you, Man!
Charlie Mynatt ...You got this Charlie
Idk why I'm sharing this really but, my mama dedicated this to me the day I got out of Prarie view at the age of 15 for cutting and pill popping. I come from a long line of addicts on my dads side of the family. I'm 24 now with an amazing life clean and ni self harming, when things get tough I find myself on this song. No matter how hard things are you're strong and things will get better!! ❤
My daughter went thru self harm. That was the MOST HELPLESS feeling I've ever had. I had prepared myself for boys, sneaking out, partying etc but she skipped all of that and went straight to the end game. She was 13. Her first puppy love has just dumped her that week.. She blamed me because I told her he was a good kid and she trusted me and I let her down... Her friend two doors down committed suicide on Sunday night.. Just hours after playing in our yard.. But there's more to her story.. Then she had her first cycle on Monday. She found out her friend died when it was announced at school over the PA system in a very cold manner. She went to the bathroom to be alone when her very recent ex told her "I wish it was you that died"!!!
She went to the girls bathroom, (Thank God she didn't use the single stall room..) she broke the mirror and took that broken glass and started hacking at her wrists. She meant it... No hesitation cuts... All deep but thankfully she mixed the vein a friend of hers came looking for her and found her sitting In the floor, crying and covered in blood
@@Susan-oz3eg oh my gosh Susan!!
I'm so sorry for what u are going thru & what ur baby is going thru right now! I kno exactly what she us going thru unfortunately self harm of every kind was my path for far too long.
The best advice I can give u is the pain is going to be for awhile she is going to need to cry & scream & say things ur not going to understand bc of not only the things she is going thru in life but the hurt that she must feel to hurt herself that way is so deep it doesnt just go away any time soon.
A lot of ppl r going to try & tell you how to help her.
I kno I am& i don't kno u but I kno that pain & I would try to get her the best help possible there is a place called Mercy Ministries that is a place for girls a Christ based place they help girls with cutting. Eating disorders & ect.
. . if you need to talk or want to talk more... I'm here.. im Lace by the way! 🙂God Bless I'm praying for you& your family!
Mallory Rodriguez I can relate to you because I was a cutting 10 pulse years I fell off the wagon two days life is struggle I lost my identical twin she was 39 that was the worst day of my life the one I trust you with my secrets I was molested at the age of two until I was 16 You’re a beautiful young lady and you can do this to you soon God bless you

11 years sober. Best decision I ever made and worse hell I have ever been thru. Prayers and love to everyone struggling. You have the strength in you. I promise.
Chriskhnke
Absolutely right
I like you
Congratulations!
This song brings back good memories. This used to be one of my moms favorite songs.. my father and step mom never really talked about her death or gave anything to us to help us heal.. at least I have this. ❤ I miss you, mom.
OMG God bless you and help you
❤
Black Crowes...the first band I ever saw live (they didn't play this song, but I can't also
forget "too hard to handle")...it was in 1991 when they opened for AC/DC, Metallica, Mötley Crue and Queensryche during the "Monsters of Rock" Tour in Munich...
Just wanna put a prayer out there for us low life's. Could you imagine feeling the pain makes everything better. Lord bless those in suffering and carry the weak in mind. Fill with love and help us to love ourself again. God bring us peace, Lord Jesus, Amen.
Herb Jr
some of us hurt so deep that pain is the only thing that can ease the pain we are going threw. if that makes sense to you but you have had to been really deep to understand a statement like this. either way best wishes in your journey called life.
Amen
thank you
Thank you so much for your heart felt words, Herb Jr. God bless you and have a great Labor day weekend!
Herb Jr Amen ♡♡♡ "I" LOVE YOU..😇😇
This song goes out to my daughter. Jessica. D on the streets of Knoxville TN. PLEASE COME HOME.

Thank you. Its my daughter.
Debra Adams did she ever come home...my prayers are with you I did that to my family for years and now as a mother I could not imagine the worry
Yes she is home an so bad She is lYing in floor. Want uncover her head. I need prayers. Please
and at least she's alive many don't make it home that's a blessing in its self
“She’ll tell you she’s an orphan, after you meet her family”. What a lonely place to be. 😢
My grandma dedicated this song to me bc I took bad path around the age of 14 took me 3 years to get my life back. I'm 20 and lost her in January. She always told that she wanted to be present when I get married and have kids. My bf proposed a 2 weeks ago so it has been really hard and at time I think about going back to my addiction but I know she's watching over me 😔❤
I commented 13 months ago when I had a little over a year clean from a 10 year opiate/heroin addiction. August 8th 2019 I celebrated 27 months! Never lose hope #wedorecover
I knew a Donna west in the 70s... sister didn't make it
Donna West People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing. That’s why i recommend it daily! Congratulations, you opened the gates of hell and you let yourself out! You’re an amazingly beautiful person!!
@@parr40 One day at a time 🙂❤
❤️👌❤️!Yes
well done. thats awesome
If you were a teenager in the 90s, this will take you back. Back to a better more simpler time. A time when life was so great. Here's to the 90s, best of times, best of music.
falhei como nunca no video
Amen 🙏 to this ❤
I was there, a teenager in the 90's! Loved the Crowes since way back, finally got the chance to see them this summer. Amazing!!
AMEN!!!!
I miss it so much!
I still see his Ghost, warning me, when my time shall come, thy Kingdom come, as Earth as in Heaven.Amen brother. Bucky.
Uncle Chris has done things with music I’ve never really seen from anyone else & extremely underrated imo
13 months clean from a 10 year opiate/heroin addiction. Thank you Jesus for your grace ❤
God bless.
BLESS YOUR HEART--you will be in my prayers--stay strong
Donna West so happy for you
@JOSH WILDE Official why question what has nothing to do with you??? Thanks though 👍
🙂
This song holds a special place in anyones heart who has ever been there and lived to talk about it. Stay strong. There is a life after addiction. I am living proof. 25 Years Clean. On a more humble side of things, it took me a number of tries to get there. Never stop trying !!!!
My husband loved this song he said it reminds him of his Mom..He,s.with his Momma now and he is in the arms of his angel.I wished you were still here Curt. But the Good Lord was ready to take you home
This song got me through so much shit...thank you....
Beautiful song ❤❤
Hello from Scotland l!
How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day today?
To EVERYONE who is clean and sober, I dont know you, I dont know your story. All l I do know is that you are beautiful, amazing, and I am DAMN PROUD OF YOU!!!!
Been alcohol free for over ten years and it took a drunk pissing all over himself in a jail cell and a prayer to God to take this from me and he did,right then and there,it's a feeling I can never forget,thanks again Lord
Meagan. God bless you! 🌼
We all have to cross that road together stay strong and love our lord jesus
Love is the answer pray for one another and never back down
Thanks
My grandma is 14 years sober and clean. If she wasn't she wouldn't be raising me.
You go granny and thank you!
God bless you and your grandmother! May you both be blessed beyond measure!
I was raised by my Grama, too. My Grama liked this song, even if she was never an addict. She still understood sorrow and pain and she said this song was like a balm for the sorrowful soul. Grandmothers are the best thing God ever made. I am so glad you are getting time with your Grama - that means the world. It really does. Cherish every single second with her and never stop telling others about her. You are her legacy. I'd listen to anyone's stories about their Gramas, good or bad. I guess I just miss mine. Love and hugs, sweetheart!
This has been one of my favorite songs for so long....its just one of those songs I cant describe how it makes me feel....❤
Angels sure do awaken the truth in our hearts.❤️Good or bad we are awoken at one time or another.Good or poison remains in our control.God Bless those who are struggling.🙏This song is chilling.This truth is as real as it gets..
Beautiful song ❤❤
Hello from Scotland l!

I lost my Maureen over 11 years ago due to an overdose. RIP Baby ! God Bless all of you who are struggling with addictions, or who have gotten clean !
im so so sorry addiction almost got me i was one of the lucky ones
I lost my mama from accidentally over dosed I feel you so much I was going to play this at her service but my sister and niece held her service without me and said that I killed her they are addicts and they want to hide the truth about her addiction and they're not going to anything but to try to make it invisible to everyone else but I'm not going to hide it and they won't talk to me and my family are afraid of me cause
I'm going to speak to the truth about what they are and not talking to me anymore I don't care they have done a lot to me and it hurts but alone I am just praying for them I would never do anything bad to them I love them I will always love them all but yes addiction will bring heartache and I have been praying about it and you I feel you on that loss and my prayers are with you and your family God bless you and your family God will bless you and help you with the heart ache I know that for sure but sometimes it takes a lot of time to finally see that blessings on you and the pain it won't ever be able to make it go away but trust me I know that you will be in The healing and I promise you will be able to make sense of it all and my friend I love you and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers
God bless you all and hope is what you hold on to and Faith
💔💔
God bless you.......one day you will once again see her... Love is all you can take with you!

I'm struggling but.... I'm gonna be ok. I walk over 3 miles each way 6 days a week to get off heroin. I move nearly 400 miles away only to find the same thing I was on in Dallas. I decided I was sick of slavery and wasn't gonna do any longer. Funny thing is I started getting clean and my life is falling apart now. Anyone know why that is?
I'm a addict of alcoholism and I'm 120 Days clean an a structure fire fighter and heading to college again for thermal engineering with HVAC and I'm a national wildlands fire fighter keep pushing to your dreams y'all your not alone ❤
