I listen to this every morning. Im 2 years clean of meth, 3 years clean of heroin, 1 year clean of coke, and 9 months sober from a half gallon of whiskey a day. I honestly can relate to this. Every day I'm greatlul for that i don't use or drink.
Edit: Thank you for all the love. You are all my inspiration to stay sober. I love you all ❤❤
I honestly didn't know how much love and support I'd get from you all. Thank you all for the kind words and support! I wish i could just meet you all and give each and every one of you a big hug. I love you all! ❤❤👊☺❤🤗
Don Juan I’m happy for you congratulations
Congrats dude!
Good for you I got free by changing my circle of friends. Surround yourself with people that feed your sobriety not your addiction
Congrats
Keep up the WIN
@@poppyd9758 Yes! A thousand times yes! When you get sober, it makes your "friends" question their alcohol/substance use. 99% of the time they aren't ready to stop...then blame YOU for not being fun anymore. No one in that group really cared about my health. Got new friends now.
Heroin was my demon, I struggled for 5 year’s. It took me longer to mend relationships with family, & friends because I lost my self while taking them with me. My mom passed away it took me then to open my eyes to her wise words I needed to be the women I am today. Addictions are hard but you’re always bigger then those demons.
@@joelc302 you will get there! Keep your head up, & keep fighting.❤️
Keep your head up,hopefully things are good and stay good. I wish I could help anyone dealing with things.
Well honey fight the good fight I wish you the best
@@joelc302 Joel, please contact me if you need any information on resources. I've been clean for 6 years now, and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. There is a whole new life waiting for you, when you're ready. You can do it, you can start right now.
Congratulations to you Willow! I'm proud of you for not only getting clean, but making the choice to do so!
I was strung out on smack for about the same amount of time as you were. Was an alcoholic for the 7 years beforehand. Traded the booze for the drugs. I've been clean for 6 years now and it's so good. I just hope the damage I've done to my body hasn't taken too many years off of my life.
I have been sober from IV heroin addiction for 6 yrs now 🎉❤😊 I prayed to Jesus to please scare me away from the 💉!!! The next day I sat there for hrs and I didn't prick myself once and NEVER again after that 🎉!!! Please my brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering please turn to Jesus! For me, the hard times i went through with addictions and traumas brought me to Jesus! Usually, we find him at rock bottom! I survived all those OD's and scary situation's because God has a plan for me...Just like he has with all of you! God bless and know that its NEVER to late to turn to Christ no matter what you have done! 💯 Repent in Jesus name every night! Pray for your enemies because it brings them to the light! If i can do this i promise anyone can!! God bless you all ❤❤❤
Awesome to hear! God bless you!
Amen sister, praise God, I'm so glad he healed you and that your doing good, may he always bless you and protect you, I'm currently trying to get off weed and cigarettes for good, please pray for me🙏
So happy for you. God bless.
37 days sober and I’m finally finding myself again, I lost 10 years to it but I’ll never lose another day
😭😭😭
Hey man, ik I'm just some random ass dude on the internet but I hope you're still going strong and keep it up ❤
Lost 18 years, restarting from scratch with nothing.
@@SuperGameplayer21I slipped and fell but I’m back to day 2
@@TheGoatRoper one moment at a time friend.
10 months free of crack. wake at 5 and run, daily work outs. watch what I eat religiously. never been in a better state of being. mind body health. I shed a tear every time to this song. I'm effin proud of all of Us that climbed out that hell. love you Tom
Good for you bro keep working at it and keep progressing keep getting better dont even know you but im proud of you man hope you achieve success man just make sure you keep it up.
I'm going running on my lunch break... Like I have been for a couple weeks. You'll be in my mind while I run today. My man Kyle is healthy, clean, and kicking ass. Keep it up, sir.
My respect, man! Hope you'll go your way and stay clean.
Day 7 sober now myself and Tom's music and comments like yours motivate me to stay strong. Thanks for sharing and the best wishes 🖖
man you aint black !
So proud of you!! Keep fighting!❤
Alcoholic with 140 days sober today. That line “I’m finally someone that I know again” makes me choke up a bit. Rehab was the best decision I ever made.
amazing! I need to be one day sober before that.... Not giving up but it is so tough...
@@ssgtrom9739 hey I was a sgt 3rd ID. Take care of yourself brother. You have more friends in this world ten you even know exist! Reach out if you need me!
@@ssgtrom9739 I've smoked weed every day for 3 years(19 now) and started drinking hard a couple months back I've been trying to stop every day, this kind of music and all of these people keep me sane

@@kalesyvers3175 yeah i hear ya! but it's almost like i have to avoid this to just feel a little better in my climb to sobriety lol
10 years dry around about now. Gets easier n I'm thankful everyday I don't drink.
Keep on keeping on ppl wherever you.
Thanks Tom ✌🏻
Use to live that life. Truly that death. Now I’m reborn in Jesus and truly living life sober and happy
'' THIS IS THE WAR THAT I'LL FIGHT FOREVER'' hits hard every time ...
Hands down one of Tom's most IMPORTANT songs. This kind of stuff save lives when heard by the right person in the right time in their lives.
And u are right...
Yeap. I have over 10 years. This song is so inspiring I want to relapse so I can get fight to get clean again. 😁
Honestly, I miss selling as much as using. It was every bit as hard for me to give up too. I tried so hard to rationalize still doing it sober. Telling myself I could handle it now and would make even more money not putting it all up my nose.. even though I'd done it several times, and most definitely could *not* handle it.. ✌✌
You nailed it!!! This shit brings me right back to the day I put the needle down. I remember those demons coming out of me and playing this over and over. This song is a masterpiece for what it is. I don’t even listen to rap, but this is a masterpiece. I look back and can’t believe the shit I used to do and how far I’d go to get what I needed.
Me, right now. Hits goddamn hard.
Not just Tom's song
4 days sober from iv meth use. Going to rehab. Been so depressed and discouraged but I'm not giving up. This song inspires me.. good luck to all recovering addicts we can do it
You can do it I promise.. the first days are the fuc&ing worse. It does get better a little more everyday.. hell you got 4 days clean!! Be proud darling do you know how amazing that is?? Most can’t even do a day! See your stronger than you think !! I don’t know if you believe in God but pray he will help. God will never put on you more than you can handle that’s a promise it’s in the Bible. So you can beat this! It’s only the devil trying to keep you down he wants you to keep taking until you lose it all then your life.. Remember it can’t always be bad. You gotta hit the ground sometimes but guess what ? That’s when you bounce back up!! Never forget that. God be with you and I wish the best for you!
Stay strong
Stay strong, Tom’s music is great for recovering, passion and motivation 👌 keep pushing every day, focus on tomorrow because it’s an opportunity to do better 🤘
@@yournamehere3679
His songs give me hope and some of his songs makes me think.
Cheering you on. I was strung out for 3 years on meth. Please know in your heart of hearts that the depression and all things related to WD are a temporary thing. Stay strong, it can (and will) be done.
Suffered a seizure from an alcohol/pill withdrawal, found Tom Mac Again after not listening to him from so long.
This song helped me get thru the days I was in the hospital. Thanks to these Peeps singing, you Helped Me!!!
This song speaks truths in so many ways. Truly a masterpiece

Hi Tom. I’m an alcoholic. And thanks to your song. It inspired me to stop drinking. And get a better hold on my life. I have 2 beautiful kids and an amazing partner and the last thing I want is to lose them because of my drinking. Thank you for an amazing song to help me turn my life around.

@@Potato-Actual easy peasey :)
I’m a 44 year old Christian tropical white mom. My tattooed up, son just gave his life to Jesus Sunday. I’ve spent the last week locked away with him while he detoxed from drugs and alcohol…he went through hell! Tonight after church he said, “I’m gonna start weaning off nicotine “. God shaved 10 years of self hate and self destruction of my son in 10 min on his knees.
I just subscribed!
I've binged this guy for two days now.
This is is what music should do, break you down bc you relate, and build you up bc you know your not alone.
Only 2 days lol. Love me some Tom!!!
What do you mean only 2 days? Addiction 2 days or 2 years is a step towards being sober. Never been a addict but ive watched people suffer lose their kids and watched someone i loved be put in the ground cause of their addiction. I wosh they were able to say they were 2 days sober.
@@haileyreeves4584
He meant, "you've only binged Tom's music for two days?!?"
No one is talking about addiction.
My bad. 😂 idk what i was reading but it was 430 this morning.
@@haileyreeves4584 get to sleep insomniac. 👀👀
Hey Tom, I'm a 65 year old man and I gotta say YOU are the poet laureate of this age. Don't ever stop.
I feel the same way!! I've never been a rap fan but man this is so good. Relating to millions
Ys, I am 60 and I am loving him .
Turned 66 yesterday and never listened to anything or anybody like Tom. Been sober 30 years. Still think I'm going to relapse every day.
@@christopherdrzik6784 Happy Birthday! You're one month older than me. 06.30.1955
So is twenty one pilots but I see your point :) he’s amazing-
Marry this girl.
Make her a mother.
Make yourself a father.
Our countries(ya canada US bretheren) deserve to have yalls offspring.
Love you Tom, Love you Nova
Best peice of advice I have ever gotten is this... Never Quit Quitting... no matter how many times you fall.. Never Quit Quitting!!! 9yrs clean from everything I could get my hands on. I couldnt find any more veins. My lungs on the verge of shutting down. Sick kidneys. Liver damage like most of us. 4yrs sober also. Me and hubby made it out alive by the grace of god. We do recover. Please dont give up we need you!! You are loved! You are worth it! Never Quit Quitting💜💜💜
Jesus Christ. This is music with value.
Amen brother.
I think he'd be happy to see that its helped people God Bless have a nice day.
Amen!
And that's not even blasphemy bro
You're a gem! And that does not count as blasphemy.
My man!
DAMN TOM WTF!!!! I'm an old man and this had me crying like a baby. My God right from the heart.
That’s powerful music for you
I hear ya.....This is the most brutally honest, music from the heart I've ever heard.
Everyone's got their 'shit'. No one here is going to judge you.
It took me 10 years to deal with a part of my life
Music transcends time.
The realst out there tom is the goat
Tom's got his demons, like we all do. But he uses them for his lyrical genius, instead of letting his demons use him.
We thank God for your past which made you a better man. ♥️
This song hit home, started drinking when I was 17 and deal with depression. I drank for 17 years daily. Suicide attempts, mental breakdowns, showing up to work drunk, constantly hung over, drinking before I could leave the house to see anyone, my addiction was part of me for so long. I just hit my one year sobriety in April, this song gives me hope to keep going on the hard days.
Edit: Thank you so much for all your kind words and support! It means so much!
Amazing! Keep going, you got this 😊
Thank you so much@@ariaalarie828
👍🎊🥳Congrats! Way to go! I'm proud of you, you can do this!
Embrace all the days of your life ahead clear headed and aware. It will all work out. They wont all be easy, but I'm not sure life is suppose to be always easy.
Thank you!@@heavenhelpus9084
I just got out a month ago from doing four years in state prison, due mostly to the lifestyle that comes with addiction. I've been clean now for years. This song reminds me of how I feel on the inside, and I'm not alone. I'm proud of who I've become. Thank you, Tom MacDonald *and MadChild. This is my new anthem.
👍
no you are not
This video needs to be shown in every Rehab, AA and NA meeting. As a recovering Alcoholic I can relate to every single lyric. Thanks Tom!!!
I pray for my addicted son soon to be 40. Drugs are his life, along with lying cheating stealing. I miss him. I tried to get help for him but he has to want the help. 😢
I lived it I am 42 and finally got sober after being addicted to opiates and coke for 26 years and I am a week sober now and counting and plan on changing my life
You are not alone. I wish you peace. Best wishes.
@@tobytobias136 thank you. My son was in jail and mandated to a program, now 7 months clean and sober. He is 4 hours away from 'home' and seems to be doing ok, full time job, AA meeting 6 nights a week. I've visited twice. He has to stay through April of next year (14 month program). I thank you for your kind words. Drug addiction affects anyone that loves the addict.
@loganconner5036 thanks. I will never give up but I know this is the Lord doing a work. The Lord has given him chance after chance - TODAY my son is 8 months clean and sober and in a program and has re-dedicated his life to the Lord. It is all by the grace and mercy of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! ❤️Thanks be to God ❤️
This brought me to tears, even tho I've never struggled with this internal war myself. To anyone that's had to pull themselves from the darkness, I'm proud of you.
Thank you......
This means alot..
Thank you
❤
Thank you 😊

@William B i know tis rather ironic of all days to have my wake up call. Makes it super easy to remember
...
Thank you so much 🥰
Beautiful message Tom ~ Nova is so passionate, Thank you for bringing it ! I lost my brother to a Heroin overdose you speak to all of the lives lost and you are helping so many ! After listening to all of your music I do believe you are a disciple for our time ❤🙏🏻✝️🙌
I have listened to this beautiful song and "withdrawals" every day. Almost a year sober with a couple of relapses. I prayed so hard on my knees shaking ,crying for God to deliver me from this pain, tired of the seizures and blackouts. Suboxone saved my life from the constant battle with my brain chemistry from the severe opiod use disorder. Now i have to overcome letting go of that demon, (Suboxone) which is just as painful as the other.
Thank you for these truly honest and well versed songs. I haven't heard anything hit addiction so accurately as this. HOG always❤ my hopes to be around for many more albums since every single day is a fight to live.
Save A Life by Tom is also so powerful. Keep fighting, i wish you well.
@kenny bob Thank you! Ill check out that one as well.
I’ve had this song on repeat nonstop. I might only be 13 but I’ve been through people telling me to kill myself, my best friend ended her life. I’ve watched my mother fall apart and not care about me anymore. I’ve almost ended my life. This song makes me tear up because it showed me that I’m not alone. I’m gonna keep fighting till my last breath.
Hello I do not know you but do not give up this fight you have so much to live for I promise you when you look back a year after being sober you'll say my God all the things I didn't see that were right in front of me
@Me thank you so much this means so much to me 💖
@@johnpuckett899 thank you so much! I love how everyone is so nice in this comment section and people actually understand me
Never give up!!! Im sorry for your loss.
I dont know how you feel about God but ill pray for you. Your life has value and I wish I could help more but I just wanted to stop and show some love God Bless keep going. I'm sorry for your loss btw
Who else teared up while listening to it
This song has been what I listen to when I need to remind myself how I was 15 year’s ago, and see the progress I’ve made in the last 6 years after I had destroyed everything my family
For sure. And there's been quite a few Tom MacDonald raps that have struck some chords, emotionally and otherwise. I am thankful for his brilliance and what amounts to nothing less than compassion.
I sure did tear up well just cried it hit home I have been in program for 2 and a half years. I have some set backs i have learned so much about myself everytime. The battle is real and it is a fight the rest of your and my life..Stay Strong. I really love this song
I'm not crying ....you're crying lol 😂
Whoa ah oh ah oh
I got baptized today and I'm happy to find Jesus in my life I'm clean and sober sober sober sober
where did you find Jesus? can you introduce me to him, please?
@@brandonpeacock6106 what's your name I will pray for you
@@brandonpeacock6106Find a meeting. Remember, try to stay sober for today so you can find that meeting. If staying sober for today is to hard. Try staying sober for this hour. Find a 12 step meeting. There's plenty of people "around the table" who know exactly what you're dealing with and can help you achieve your goal of sobriety.
May God bless and give you strength in your journey.
That's amazing! ❤ Much love and God bless you on your journey through life. #HOG for life!
I have twenty years sobriety, I never say that I won't, I don't trust myself, I am always in recovery. Everyday you learn something new, everyday you find something that relates. To everyone struggling find your song and never let it go. Music helped me in so many ways. I have been so traumatized that my anxiety levels are all over the charts, but it's okay. I'm all over the place but I'm okay, it's okay. With love, honor, strength,and respect; it does get brighter.
Jesus can help you with the assurance that you won’t go back. He loves you and want to continue helping you. Come to him and he will give you the ultimate rest. Matthew 11:28
Currently in Rehab, i play this song every morning. To everyone fighting this battle everyday dont ever give up YOU MATTER!
This dude got me through A LOT. My hat's off to you for staying strong. Thank my higher power for giving the world Tom, Nova and Mad
Finny,i play this every morning as well
Hope ur still playing and being strong
@J D why wouldn’t u ???
I know this is late as fuck but... U can have a phone at the rehab you're at? Lol I've never been to one like that... Anyways, keep it up bro.. you can do this!!! I been clean from heroin for close to a year and a half and if I can do it than anyone can.. you got this bro
IM GETTING CLEAN NOW THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE ..THE STRUGGLE IS ENDLESS BIG UP TOM MCDONALD AND MAD CHILD NOT AFFAID TO SHOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE , IM GOING TO BE LITENING EVERYDAY HES MY HERO
Good luck my friend. I was there once ..Oxys and Opanas had me in a strangle hold. I did beat it thank God. Stay strong..you can do it.
@@christopherclark5604 thanks bro appretiate it
@Stu thanks man yea getting there over the worst anyways
I will add to my comment that it didn't happen overnight. Was on Methadone for a year...which was just another addiction and then Suboxone after that for 2 more years.
@@christopherclark5604 yea same was onit for 8 years methadone think thats why its taking a while👍 well done bro cause it is hard
This song means so much to me. I'm battling sobriety. 30 days now . I think about drinking every day. Fuuuckkk. I hate my life don't know how to change. Have no more friends. No one calls me no more because I'm sober. How do I maintain?
Read the Bible, talk to God, seek him and I promise he will deliver the strength to you to stay off the bs. Have true and real faith. I promise it's not silly, he is real, powerful and he will work in your life to get you back on his path. You can do this! You are strong, just live like yesterday no longer exists. You are new and each day is a new day to forget better yourself. Stay strong!
Sometimes it's good to shed the old life. You may miss those friends now but they aren't what you need in your life. Take this time to get to know yourself better and find a life you can find happiness in without the drink. I lost everyone and felt so alone. With Jesus I lost that loneliness over time, I have found myself, a life I enjoy, and new friends. The true ones will come back around if they are there. My oldest friend is back in my life and now Jesus is working in his life. He could see the change in me and I think he wanted what I was feeling. I told him it's because I have found my Lord. I think he's coming around to learning he needs to seek Jesus himself. Try it. I mean what's the harm. A better life? A wonderful relationship with Jesus? Salvation?
I don't know you and never will, I'm proud of you for being sober
You maintain by realizing you are valuable. Every day adds up. 1 day turns into 2, then it hits 7days, and that's a week followed by 30days and that's a month. Then they just keep adding up till you hit a year, and then keep going. August makes 6 years me for me with no alcohol, and trust me there has been many temptations along the way, just have to hold the faith in yourself and God(if you believe)
im with you Tom, Nova and Madchild...im fighting for my life right now....thank you for this song.
I hope you’re okay man, keep going!!
Checking in on you. Hoping you’re still going strong.
Is it just me or has "rap music" as we knew it, just evolved. Thank you Tom and Nova. You two are extraordinary.
Well said! Totally agree!!
Hey Tom. My name is Adam, I’ve been dealing with social anxiety my whole life. I’ve dealt with overwhelming shame and felt like I never belong. Your music is helping me find my voice and embrace who I am instead of running from him. This song is my anthem, I’ve cried to it multiple times because it gives me power that I haven’t had on my own and your bravery opening up about your issues is helping me do the same. This is allowing me to own who I am and release all the bullshit shame I’ve been dealing with. Love you brother keep doing what you’re doing you’re helping people for sure!
Adam, there certainly is something truly amazing that takes place , when you hear music that comes from truth . Your inner knowing resonates so profoundly , it just sneaks up on you , and you realise that you have introduce yourself to Man who you now are . The letting go of all those things from the Man you thought you were , easily occurs when you are the Man you are today. To be in the present is never achieved by some . It takes bravery to release. To be or not to be that is the Question. I figured out To be is the answer, just like you have my friend.
stay strong brother, remember, it's all mental and you control your mind
Small amount of zoloft will help.
@@xdsmastermia No. Don't say that. Chemical imbalance.
Keep your head up and keep on keeping on then give it all you got you can do this 💯
Needed to hear this today. 10 years 6 months sober now. But days like today I wonder why. Life just continues to kick me in the gut. So i come here and remember why. Thank you Tom and Mad and Nova. Sometimes I need a reminder why. Whoever needs to hear this... I love you. ❤️ you matter so don't stop fighting
I hear you man. Currently sitting in water, feeling the shit from last night.
10 years is hero shit.
This song helped me get through 14 days of detox and withdrawal . Bless you guys thank you 🙏
I lost my husband to alcoholism . He was 42 yrs. old . He simply didn't have the strength to overcome it . My heart goes out to everyone battling addiction / depression . Love to all ❤
I'm so sorry. :( * hugs*
My dad struggled with alcoholism (and smoking) and managed to get sober after many years but still had an addiction to sleeping pills because of his insomnia. People can be so cruel to people who struggle with addiction when the cause/starting point is always past trauma, mental health issues etc. My dad lived through the horror of the end days of WWII as a little boy.
Im so so sorry. I need to fix that same issue... So easy to drink a 12 pack plus daily... It's hard. I've had a good life, but this appears to have taken over unfortunately. I'm 35 right now.
So sorry for your loss
I'm a struggling alcoholic myself... I can't speak for him but please know that we try and try and fail and fail over and over again. He most assuredly died trying to make everyone around him happy even though he was miserable. Rest well
This is the music that saves people’s lives. Thank you.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Which is why the cabal doesn't support it.
I’d rather kill myself than listen to another song
@@ethanwineberg2243 Then why are you on his page listing to the song? YOU are the snowflake he’s talking about
@@ethanwineberg2243 Well, that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla.
My addiction wasn’t drugs or alcohol but it was self harm. Anytime this song comes on I cry, the line “this is a war that I’ll fight forever” hits hard. I remember when I first heard it my support worker told me about your music while I was in a psych ward 3 years ago and I still continue listening to ur music ❤️
Sorry to hear I take it u suffered abuse when young. Pardon my intrusion I spent half my life loosing the fight with addiction and now am dying. Please keep strong.
It's hard u can beat it though. I did
I showed this song to my mom when I quit the stupid things I had been doing not knowing that I was gonna lose her soon after due to health issues. I was already done being dumb but losing her really sealed the deal for me. For my mom
For God and for my self
I will never go back to that.....
Thank you Tom Macdonald
Thank you Madchild
You guys inspire so many
This song has saved my life, saved me from losing my kids and is helping me fix my mended marriage. This is the realest song I’ve heard in my life.
Congrats! My mother used to do these back when I was in 3rd grade and my brother was in kindergarten cause my parents got in a huge fight, my mom did all this and worst almost died! Had to live with my grandma for a year. Not having her kids made her wanna quit and so she did, she’s now going to be 6 years clean this year! So I understand how bad these hardcore drugs are and the alcohol as my grandma died last August from bad intestines from smoking and alcohol a whole ton in his early life. I’m happy for you! Stay clean times may be tough but it always gets better!
-From ur average 14 year old. 😁❤️
Brandi majors ; I feel you beauty! Exact same story! Forever grateful to be sober 3.5 years, & my kids finally have the real me back!!! ❤️ proud of you girl it’s harder then people who haven’t been there to understand! Forever proud of you hun! Xo meghan Arns St. John’s Newfoundland
I hope this is true. Keep it up!
@@billybobbobson3797 100% true. I’ve got better things to spend my money on like my kids
Really? A song did that?
RUclips needs a heart option. You have no idea how much strength and how much of a difference music like this makes in people's life. Keep it up Tom. Much love.
Right
Man this song gives me chills. I lost so much throughout my addiction. My job I had for 15 years, Got arrested, went to rehab numerous times, lost friends, My family didn't want nothing to do with me, Overdosed, Blew through A LOT of money and just about lost my life. I've been clean now for almost 17 months off of Meth, Crack, Cocaine, Pills/Alcohol. I'm thankful that I decided to finally get well, I never gave up but it wasn't easy at all. To anyone going through it I understand and we do recover if you want it bad enough. Only you can do it though. Nobody's going to do it for you. Thank you for this song and it's a Masterpiece, I really dig it. God bless those struggling, I feel you, Don't give up, Never give up.
August last year i stopped taken fentynol and it was the hardest thing to do. I was sleepy af but couldn't sleep for 16 days and nights. I started hallucinating so much to the point i was talking to both my father and step father which both have passed away. I still think it was really them. Now if i see a blue pill i get sick to my stomach thank God. I still need to work on my drinking. I'm very blessed to be here today. I wish we could get rid of the ingredients to make that nasty ish. To the ones that are still addicted i know it's hard but you can do it. I love all of you brothers and sisters around the whole globe. 💙
I'm 73 days sober today. I listened to your song every morning while I was in rehab before I meditated. I have no words to describe how much this song helped me thru one of the darkest times of my life. Thank you doesn't cover how grateful I am for this song.
I hope you are still sober.
Hellz yea and are u still sober? Give us an update.
@@redsoxfan0923 that's what I wanna know too! And it's ok if she relapsed as long as she got back up and is kicking its a$$
I'm gonna do this too. I'll die otherwise
@@laurieb3703 I'm going into the seventh week clean and sober! It's so worth it I've come out of the Fog I've lived in for the past 27 years! One day at a Time
I lost my mother to Suicide back in July of 2010.. Already in deep in my substance use, it put me in a place I almost never recoverd from, so I enlisted in the Army. Now that I have become a citizen again, working as an LCDC at a Treatment Facility. I am in Process groups like these three times a day.. this made me cry like I haven't cried since a child. It brought back so much I have long sensed tried to forget. What an amazing song. Thank you, God bless.
Mannn its amazing how certain music can unlock certain feelings of the past dont it?
7 months sober here.
welcome back to the world sir. you know they say the only way to go when you are at rock bottom is up so please keep going up. and thank you for your service.
Keep going strong and I'm so sorry about your mom.
Stay strong
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God. I owe Him everything. I pray all addicts find their way home 🙏🏼 if not for themselves, for their families and people who love them. ❤ I pray I may never see another relapse. Crazy when you're scared of yourself. You can't run from that 😔
Jeez, I’m a huge ass man & I’m sobbing at reading the comments of all the people praising their sobriety journeys so far! Stay strong. Fight every day. It’s the best war to win.
486 days for me...after 20 years of abusing everything...this song made me feel like going another 486 is easily possible, thank you guys for this
Congrats, it gets better, I promise. Just keep holding on.
Proud of you!
742 the demons never stop knocking on the door. Loosing my son put me in a hard spiral south but I bit my lip put my head through the wall, pulled up my socks laced up my boots and walked through the fire. Never give never give in. Dont do it for any one but you and the ones you love.you have a friend here find me we can talk and get you through the low. The high is better here with you without the vise.

3 years sober. This made me cry from the truth and it described me perfectly. Thank you so much.
Going through this shit right now, I listen to this everyday for motivation. Thanks love!
Good luck! Keep on keeping on, on day at a time 🙏🏻
I hear you sister!! Me too! We can do this!
I know it's hard, it'll be the hardest thing you will ever do, you just gotta take it one day at a time. I was a heroin addict for 6 years. I never thought sobriety was possible, I thought I would die a heroin addict. I stole from friends and family, from the time I would wake up, until the time I would pass out heroin was my only focus. I have been sober for 8 years now, and I am still paying for some of the things I did. Good luck with your sobriety. It'll be the best decision you'll ever make.
Joel Christian try methadone for awhile bro saved my life over 20 yrs ago... stay lowest dose as possibly and only for 2 yrs tops. The constipation alone will kill you. 🙏✌️
@@phillipadrey539 Thank you, you need support, thats why people relapse. Encouragement and kind words go a long way.
2 and a half years clean from heroine and meth. Started both at 15. Thank you Lord for delivering. Now I help others find there truth.
I’ve been clean from self harm since November 2019. Yes I know this is about drugs but it makes me proud that I haven’t self harmed
EDIT: unfortunately relapse self harmed again on 16th December 2020
Crystal Martin thanks for the info
Crystal Martin thank you so much for all the support much love 🥰
Congratulations, glad you have found a better way to cope with life. Keep it up and stay strong king 👑
it doesent matter if it from drugs or alkohol . addiction is addiction
Hope your still doing well!
I’m 17 and was addicted to coke when I was 12 because of where I lived it was available, I’m just over 2 and a half years sober from my second relapse and this song was the only thing that helped me stay away from it during the pandemic and it’s still helping today. Thank you Tom, you’ll forever be one of my heros
Keep going! Your doing great ! I’m proud of you!
Stay strong you deserve the best
I know it's easier said than done, but take one day as it comes brother. Your stronger than you know
You can do it, RandomGaming. You stay sober. You ever need someone to talk to, I'll be there for you. :)
AMEN
If you aren't moved by this your heart ain't beating........
God loves us all and is with us even at our weakest...................
Every time I hear it... chills....
This touches deep down man. As a Veteran that's been fighting with depression for years this is a great song. Thank you.
I only lasted 3 days being sober but tomorrow is another day and this song gives me strength 🙏💪 Thank you.
U can do it. Just remember, if u dont start again, u wont have to stop again. Love and prayers for u 💞👍 #HOG4LIFE

Listen bro time is the enemy, love is your savior
@@nickhayden2299 Thank you for your encouragement. I really needed to hear it ☺️
that moment when the universe hands you a sign through others words or actions...
this is what I needed. I been contimplating making a big move in my life, and hearing this was like a sign from the universe. Tom, Nova and madchild, sending all y'all much love and respect from Kentucky USA. forever a fan💖
You can do anything you put your mind to. Good luck Jay Kay! I'm saying a little prayer for you now. AMEN!
True freedom shall soon be yours. You got this.
I'm getting signs from all directions at the moment.. I wasn't thinking while the song was playing ( was watching Nova play her part) Then I roll down and see the 1 line of your comment - Knew it was a sign, then went to like it, but it's sitting on number '22' and that's the one number I see on repeat, everywhere I go and actually have for years now! 2 Signs from you to change and this song the 3rd now :o) Good Luck with your new being xxxx
leanne lovesmusic goodluck to both of y’all on yalls journey. Remember you don’t have to do this alone. It’s a hard fight but everyday it’s gets alittle easier. Proud of yalls decision on this. I’m two years sober now and I couldn’t be happier with the progress
Or maybe God?
16 months sober until today 😢 Gonna dust myself off and start over tomorrow.
Dont worry about that small shit the wagon is still there get back on. Life is better sober.
It's not about the Person you used to be .... it's about the person you are today !!!
on day 6 of heroin withdrawal. still can’t sleep through the night, took like 5 baths to try and calm my restless body but couldn’t find anything to calm my restless mind. scrolled through my RUclips recommendations and my higher power placed this song here for me to listen to on repeat to remind me that the battle is never over but it’s possible to get through, it gets better and im not alone. don’t ever cry like I need to but this shit brought me to tears. i needed this. thank you.
If you have access try kratom! Its natural, hits the operat opiate receptors, and can seriously help worth withdrawals and recovery.
You got this. Your strong and will win
Stay strong it will get better
Good luck w that
You are going to be a H head you're entire life.
@@kevinplaugher9681 no no it doesn't.
Heroin addicts are always an addict.
We're proud of the man you've become too Tom and madchild. When your doing good, people hate. When you're doing bad, no one notices. At least one fan cares. Know that.
Damn, the realest truest sh*t I've ever read.
Here to add to this choir
Im here to say i care too..yall keep up the great work..shine bright...and dont let the hate pull u down...
Me too Tom!!!❣️❣️❣️
This was the first song i heard from you, it meant alot to me! I been clean and sober for 4 yrs and 7 months! I been threw alot of this, its crazy!!! Thank you for writing this!! Respect brother! 🩵🙏🫶🤜
❤
So proud of u, Tom!!! I love your music so much you've helped me more than you'll ever know brother I am 4 years clean now I get teary eyed every single time I listen to this song such a masterpiece
I remember saying, “How do people actually go through a day NOT high? They can’t actually be happy.” Going on 7 years clean from heroin.. I am happier than I’ve ever been 🙏🏻❤️ God is good 🙌🏻
Amen God is Always Good.But not to those that blaspheme Him and mock him with tattoos of Upside down Crosses like this student of Babylon.Time is short for the "Illuminated".Glory to Jesus Christ!
Keep it up homie :) praying for you!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Amazing
Thank you guys for all the love ❤️❤️🙈🙂
We are all in this together. Never give up.
30 years...I had 30 years October 23, 2019. Still need reminders now and again why I don't fall back. Thank you Tom for this. We needed it today. Love to all in recovery.
October 30th was my 4 years! Keep it up man!
3 and a half years sober for me. Alcohol
7 years this April. Keep up the fight folks!!!
Had a slip in 2018 so back to just over a year. 15 over-all. For those that need the message.. Slips happen. You just get back up and start again.
Quiters
Jk. I just drink in moderations. You know 2-3 on a Friday Saturday maybe 5-6 playing some pool. It's called spirits for a reason. But some people just shouldn't drink. I'm a happy buzzer. Cheers y'all much blessings ♥️👍🤣😂
Tears 😢 I’m feeling the pain and wish everyone to be freed from their addictions. Proud of you Tom for inspiring us to change through your story and thank you Madchild the line of your dog who stood by you through it all and then died had me choked up with tears. No one will ever understand the love dogs have got their owners unless they own one or as I say my dog is my family. My pug Simba would give up his life for me to protect me . ❤❤❤ he is my true family and loyal friend
My friend is getting help in the hospital for doing drugs and wanted to end his life. His girlfriend and I have been wanting him to get better. He is a warrior no one understands the nightmares someone has to deal with so they fall into drug use. From past pains and such no one knows the pain of addiction until it happens to them. He is doing something many dont do he wants to get better wants to be better dad and a better person. We love him for trying and for fighting so long.
Never in my 38 years on this earth have i related to an artist as much as this man!!!
same
Same here. Same age too
Agreed
I was thinking the same thing...I'm feeling ALL this dude's work
Right 100% I totally agree on the same way I love him.. Music powerful for anyone that's in is or was never active addiction drunks alcohol ex❤️ many years I was a full blown black out drunk and drug addict. So amazing that you can turn your life around I never thought I could I was in the darkest of darkest days and I'm so proud to say glad to say I am sober 😁❤️ God bless us ❤️🙏❤️🙏 all always Amen I'm 34 now 😁❤️
"I have my scars I'll always remember. I lost it all, and never surrendered."
Lost everything, made it to state prison twice by the time I was 23... been clean 4 years, married with my second child on the way, and I graduate from nursing school in 3 months... Never give up. Love this song! I love these two! True talent
Congratulations! Keep up the great work!
Same. Prison twice before I was 23. I didnt get visits or money on my books either bits. Came out with nothing but an outfit both times. Same when I left my ex wife.
God bless you so much!!!!!
Wow..amazing.
Gratz dude, i been clean off dope for 6 years
Who's Watching in 2024
Me😁
Same here.. My sister went through this & like the song she came through it & said what Tom's lyrics say.. A fight she'll fight forever & she truly did until cancer took her from us... But she sure did get through it & won the fight!!! ❤
Timing is everything. I needed this reminder today. 13 years - "this is that war that I'll fight forever". Thank you for the words and the video. This song is fucking EVERYTHING. 🖤
🖤🙌
@@jwalch1 One day at a time, always. Thank you
Salute
timing is everything indeed.. soo manny songs I find on youtubes underground, just when i needed it, they say,, god works in mysterious ways..
Suck it up buttercup
Been going through this for 90% of my life! Awesome that someone brought it to the light instead of glorifying getting high and drunk! It's not a fun life and it gets lonely fast! You rock Tom!!!!🤘
Keep following the lord and keep in your recovery Tom is amazing and real as hell he a inspiration to my life
3 years sober and never felt better. ❤
It's ok to ask for help... Dont be afraid of the pain. My brother wasn't strong willed enough to make it. Hes been gone a year now. I miss him everyday. 🕊️
I had a 24hr/day crack habit for over 7yrs. I'm currently in a recovery program (Sober date 5/04/23
. I thank God everyday for helping me get sober and erase my mental obession. Getting sober is just the beginning. I'm practicing spiritual principles before personality in all of my affairs. I pray daily for those still suffering. ❤Cheri
Amen! You will do it, keep it up!
Drinking cost me a 17 year relationship, my dignity, pride, self respect and almost my life.
1 year and 159 days later and I'm still counting days... but I'm also still breathing. Instead of counting Tallboys I'm counting reps in the gym. Instead of running from my problems I'm running miles.
I don't have millions of dollars. Hell, I don't even have that many friends. But, for the first time in almost 2 decades I'm proud of who I am and where I'm headed.
At 40 years old you could say half my life is behind me. I say the better half lies ahead.
❤💜 this!!
Life only has one gear and that's drive. If you don't have a Reverse gear you might as well not think about going back in time. Keep it in Drive and live the way that brings you happiness and love yourself because you just did the near impossible by escaping hell. Keep it up Ramsay happy to hear your story and the changes you've made!!
Ill be sober 6 yrs in oct and im still counting
Congrats keep up the good work!!
Brother, keep moving forward. There are always more reasons to keep going than there are to give up.
Stay strong and true to yourself, and you will never fail.
It never get easier, and it never goes away, but I think you have realize that you are stronger than your addictions and that you can make the right choices. Keep being that example the next person in your shoes will need.
I was a junkie for 24 years and I'll have 2 yrs clean on Oct 6th. I used anything I could get my hands on. I was an equal opportunity abuser. Glad to be sober today
Keep up the good work
It takes a soldier to stay off the needle
Lolol. “Equal opportunity abuser.” I love that. Perfectly describes my past as well. Keep up the good fight bro
Amen brother. I've been sober for over a year now.
This is inspiring I'm struggling to get clean myself I keep relapsing though I'm trying to find the strength to keep at it but the detox is horrible ain't gonna lie but I have particular reasons why I need to get clean. Sorry for the long dialogue but wanted to say glad you made it to the other side of addiction and keep up the good work
My name is Shelby Anna Ruml and I AM SO GREATFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR MUSIC Tom Mcdonald AND Miss Nova R. THANK YOU
This shit is as real as it gets..Anthem for my life and if you dont feel this one your not a human..best shit ever...somsthing everyone can sing it together and watch the tears roll down and just a uplifting lyrical masterpiece of a song..
9 years clean. 🙋♀️ "When I lost it all and never surrendered." This song hit me so hard I had Niagara falls running down my face. I appreciate you all making this amazing song. ❤
This is real shit. I'm 50 & recovering from Alcohol, Opiates & Coke. You can't write shit like this unless you been there. I've always been into metal, blues & a little country, but Tom & Nova produce some of the realist, well spoken & straight forward points I've ever heard. Drugs, Political, Preferences, all the tough shit to throw on the table. And the words are FAIR, unlike the media. He doesn't intend to piss off anyone, but doesn't care if he does. That's truth. Balanced truth. They could be doing opera or bluegrass, it wouldn't matter. Their msg would still scream out loud. Thank you for what you do. We ALL (yes I said ALL in 2022) need the words you say. You ARE making a difference. Love from NC... Jordan
I hope you FREE-ING good though and never slip too many sips, s-word can cut deep.
kind regards alls
PREACH!! YAAASSSS 🙏🙏🙌🙌
What does “free-ing” mean?
Also how dose one slip to many sips? (Your words not mine) I’m also curious What “s” word do you speak of that cuts deeply? I’m genuinely confused
I'm the same,metal,classic rock, my bro n law turned me on too him an he has inspired me an thats not easy. I'm a jaded formal alcoholic, drug didn't matter,anything to kill pain. Your right,this cat has lived it not like the fake wanna bes who sing words wrote for them. Ironically one of my demons I stopped now keeps me going. I'm not dying of stage 3 lung cancer an end stage emphysema. The pain gets to be too much an if I want to get out of bed to spend time with my wife an kids,I got to break an take pain killers but it's all how you do it. Stay strong.
This is my 3rd time getting clean I'm at 7 months I'm stay sober this time there is nothing in my way to climb to the top amen
Sober 73 days. Unfortunately lost my husband a month ago, he couldn't fight the battle but I'm going to win the war for him.
some people are born lucky, some are born fighters ;) never surrender, never back down!
Sorry to hear about your loss. But I hope you keep fighting, and I hope you keep winning!
Tom, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart..I was told to listen to this song and I’m proud to say I’m home from detox and rehab, 30 days clean off benzoes..Your my inspiration, I can’t thank you enough, you’ve changed my life for the better!
Benzo. You have seen Satan.
Congrats
Same!!! 5 bars a day. Dr prescribed. Now clean and happy. F big pharma! Congrats to you!!!!!!
Been there also. It was hell withdrawing like close to heroin detox which I also am familiar with but due I take no substance anymore as my health is not good.
@@me124 for me benzos were way way harder to withdraw from than heroin.
As a recovering depressive I've come to understand preventing suicide isn't about chasing good feelings, but remembering you still have good to do.
You're alive for a reason, don't short change humanity, you still have work to do.
I don’t owe anybody fuckall, and nobody owes me anything, except my uncle borrowing money from me :/
From Tom’s song “Angels” “heavens got enough angels, stay here on earth” 💕
I've learned this lesson recently myself. I thank God everyday for the challenges. I've got mountains to climb again, and I can't ask for more than that.
🥺
Yeah, I love listening to Angels. Have tried to check out 4 times and I always say the 5th time will be the last. Wannabe is another good one. Somedays are tough. Thank God for music.
Thank you Tom and Nova. I am 31 yrs sober. It does get better but the war still goes on and I am still winning. Songs like this help in the hard times in the middle of the night when there isn't a meeting to go to. Thanks for sharing your straight
Great song! I have been sober since 1988. I do not miss who I was, as I was not a good wife, good mom nor a good daughter. I thank the Lord for stepping in and helping me to become the woman I am today and continue to become tomorrow. I have the scars, but they will not define me, they will remind me how far I have come and a testimony to others that we can be transformed from death to life. We don't have to be the victim. It's not just a victory, but it is being an overcomer.
Shout to all my recovering addicts ..the ones who fought for it all back .. and r.i.p to the ones who didn't get the chance
I always pray for the ones picking up for the first time tonight and the ones who will pick up for the last time tonight. Every 8 sec. A addict will die. Stay strong. I believe in you
My brother Adam never got the chance ): this year will be 3 years since he passed and it hurts everyday
yeah.
Still climbing back out of the hole but doing better, just wish I could find work , and now w Corona virus. I'm screwed
We all are. Ican buy fn food but glad to say they closed the boarders here and cut me off from dope ;)
