One of the best quotes I've heard in many of these types of videos I've been watching that you say is, (not exactly word for word but), "I'd rather be sober, thinking about wanting to get fucked up sometimes, than be fucked up all the time thinking about getting sober." 🤯🥺🙏
I have 113 days clean from Alcohol and Cocaine, hearing you got sober as well has helped me get through some tough days, really proud of you Sam I know how hard it is, just for today man.
Look mane. This is legit. Fuck yes. 2 years sober Tuesday last week. 2 years ago I was sleeping on a couch for 8 years. Bouncing around from streets to the couch. Dude never in my wildest dreams I would ever believe 2 yeard after being sober. I have a house. Wife. An amazing son. Great job. Dude this shit is real man. More real than people want to believe. Keep it up. Even if it doesn't seem like its getting better. It does bro.
I had an overdose on cocaine when I was 18 and it was so hard being away from it, I lost all my “friends” and was alone but slowly I came back and I’ve been sober for 6 years which is almost when I started listening to you Sam, brother this video mean the world to me thanks for sharing it
Got my 4 month today. God bless u brother. I remember seeing u in like 2012 I think.. at the vibe lounge on long island. There was like 15-20 people there lol. I was doin diesel in the bathroom. Takin shots of jose at the bar with you. It took me YEARS and YEARS to walk away from the needle. The bottle. The xans and the blow. The crack. The pot... I never in my life been sober this long. Keep walking the righteous path sir. We ARE the message of AA
Sam, I’m a heroin addict struggling from the bottom again. I’ve got a little over a week sober and kicking Suboxone, which is one of the worst withdrawals I could have imagined. Seeing this video resonated different with me Sammy. You’re music has always been a comfort to me both in sobriety and while using. Thank you man fucking keep going. You helped this fan right now, not five years from now! All the love man, God (or whatever) bless!
Hope you still going strong bro, I went through the exact same thing. I am from Washington as well. I just put up a music video called Lost in a High, where I detail how I lost my close friend on my birthday to a heroin overdose. It just hit around 50k views, in a few weeks. I was sacred just like you to be so vulnerable, but it was the best thing I did. But the response I have got from people is humbling. I had a coke and alcohol problem as well as similar stories as you and being an artist. I have worked for myself for 7 years and that freedom is dangerous. I found this video just searching for people's stories, I recognized your name cause you're a northwest artist as well, I did some work with raz in the past. Wishing you the best homie.
As someone who sat in your little brother's shoes and watched my brother succumb to the illness that is addiction, I respect and appreciate you way more than I ever have before, Sam. You are a strong person and you give me hope. It would break my heart to hear that your brother had to watch you pass from that addiction, and I'm so glad to see you on the road to being healthy. Much love and respect, Sam.
I can’t believe how accurate and relatable everything you’ve expressed in this vlog has been to me. I just need to get right man and this is super helpful to see. I appreciate this a lot. I’m glad your passion and drive toward your music and art has came back, I’m glad you’re back dude.
Congratulations on finding something that means more to you than drugs and alcohol. 175 days ain’t nothing to scoff at. Be proud of where you are. Getting clean and staying clean was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I just achieved a year last week and it’s still and everyday struggle. Stay strong brother. You got this!
Love this. I'm early in my recovery journey, I have 39 days today. Thank you so much for opening up about your struggles, I'll see you in Seattle at the end of March!!
When I saw you were pursuing sobriety, I was so happy. I've been sober from benzo's for over two years. Relearning how to live without substances is difficult, but so worth it. Keep getting healthy! Can't wait for new music!
Thank you Sam, I appreciate you sharing this. Thank you so much for going through this and coming out the other side. Been following you since I was 16 (23 now) and when I found you I was stepping into the same shit with pills and cocaine. I can say that for 4-5 years from 14-18/19 I wasn’t really sober, and I didn’t smoke weed till 18, i was just fucked up on pills. Thankfully I’ve been sober now from all pharmaceuticals/coke for 5 years now, and haven’t looked back since. A little different recovery process but the outcome is still the same:changed lives. So fucking happy I found your music man cuz I’ve got a similar story to you, my younger brother and I loved littlemanbigcity because we’re about the same age apart as you and Charlie. Thank you for everything man you’ve really changed my life for the better. When I didn’t have friends I’d listen to your music, mac miller, and others and I’d have hundreds of hours of people who understood how I felt and thought. I’m grateful you’re here today man, trust yourself that you’re always exactly where you need to be. If you wanna hear about my recovery story it’s on my Instagram @patiencebuildskindness
Im 2 years sober and a big friend of Bills. I heard that song as well and was like uggggg haha. Im proud of you Lachow! You have my respect and I cant wait to hear the next album!
Hey Sam I'm a Washington state local as well and have always loved your music. Listening to your music was always relatable because I was struggling with a Coke and alcohol addiction as well. I'm not sober but I have managed to kick the cocaine and you still continue to be an inspiration for me. Thank you for all you do my man.
Good work brother! I relate to a lot of the stuff you said, and commend you for taking control of life! Keep your head up, never give up, always put your health first, and know that you have people that care about you and are there to support you!
Been listening to your music for a long time man, one of my favorite artist, you have some good talent. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be a huge artist with millions of views, stay strong Sam, keep pushing those beats.
On some of the realist shit in the world you’re an inspiration to not only me but to all the people who have listened to your music. From 80 bars to this you’ve made a huge impact on my life💯
I remember back in 2012-2013 getting so excited every time you released a new song. Pumped that we can start getting that feeling again. Stay strong & keep grinding.
Im at 122 days rightnow after relasping in the tail end of summer. I related to everything you said, besides the making music part but the feelings and mixing of substances for certain situations all of it. Used to think I was so damn smart lmao. I just became such a bigger fan with this video, you're an inspiration my guy. Keep up the great work
Dude congrats on that achievement! Keep up the hard work. There's a lot of people looking up to you! You're an inspiration to many. Keep making that beautiful music too man!
aye, love you brotha. don't recommend complete sobriety to anyone but also don't recommend any drug use to anyone. You do what YOU NEED to and we're (or at least i'm) here for you if you need us, stay strong brotha.
I have been a fan of yours since huckleberry came out, seen 3 of your shows in seattle, and it makes me super psyched to see you doing so good. Congrats on sobriety, and can’t wait for your next show whenever you’re ready!
So much respect for you for coming out so publicly Sam!!! Everything you said hit home 💯 for me. I’m a little over a year sober off of opiates... and Xanax. Shits hard but so worth it... you can do it! Funny thing you said about the song Ambivalent that I felt in my soul was the part about the lyrics saying , “No More Coke or Xanax for me, Alcohol, Marijuana and Pussy is all I need!” - I used to listen to this song and think that this was okay, or doable like you said. I now listen after getting sober and cringe as well. Like wow can’t believe you lied to yourself like that in the midst of your addiction. That part really hit hard for me man! You’re so not alone. And your right.... funny how when the drugs are gone the “friends” you thought you had are gone too. Shows you that they only ever wanted drugs. Proud of you for doing so well and waking up.... Good on you Sam!
I appreciate this video a lot. You're more than just "Sam Lachow, the guy who raps about weed, drinking, and a bunch of other drugs." You're telling your story through your music. That was your life then. I'm stoked to hear about your life now.
Very very strong to come on a social platform & speak about this . Go glad you made it out & so glad music is still coming . Keep pushing through the days ! Can’t wait to see you back in Seattle whenever the time comes ! ♥️
I'm so proud and happy for you. Thank you for opening up. And if those shows were half ass I'm stoked to see you perform sober. Little bit of an eye opener for me too.
Ayyye sending love from Seattle. It sucks when the only way you think you can have fun is by getting fucked up. I know that feeling of having to block people and having to rewire your brain. Literally. Thanks for sharing your story😊🎧🌧
Good shit man! I'm currently 4 days clean from opiates. It's been 7 years of it. I've always known from your music you were struggling. You've made an impact on my life and many others homie. One day at a time. Rootin for ya!
Thank you for the video Sam. We're all struggling right now but you managed to bring light to my situation. You're truly an inspiration to me and my family. I hope you can continue on the same course, and keep your nose clean and head held high. I'm looking forward to the new tracks brotha. Stay blessed g
I’ve been a fan since I found you 7 years ago and honestly I have more respect for you because of how much it takes to be honest like this. You’re an inspiration huckleberry. You should be proud of yourself for how far you’ve come. 🤘 thank you for making my days better.
I still show people your music here in Wisconsin almost daily. Always playing it in the smoke shop I work at, and people are always asking “whose that playing??” Glad to hear you’re starting a road toward getting yourself in a better spot. Cheers Sam. Keep it up, we all love ya
Ive grown with you since I found your music when i was 17 im 23 now have been clean from dope for a year now and i can honesly say youve helped me in ways you cant imagine. Thankyou bigg fan cant wait to see what comes out next!!!!
been a fan since banana goo pie, struggled with stimulant dependency also. im really proud of you man, youre on my best rap playlist on repeat. I completely understand the loss in ambition after long time use, im so glad youve gotten help this video really made my day i was hella worried about you since you posted 80 bars part 6 the end of that song had me worried about you for months. you have so much fucking talent we already lost mac miller, losing you would really be the icing on the fucked up cake of reality. Lady sunday was incredible.
Sam you've been my favorite artist for going on ten years now. The context of your raps are so relatable to me! The words you just spoke are so similar to my life, I've been trying for so long to kick the dumb shit even though I've had plenty of great times on it. It's time to change! Thank you man, you're the truth keep putting out slaps "popular man" is my favorite song ever! The shit you did with Nacho "cold" so hot or singing "wrong man" with my chick in the wip on road trips. Man I'd love to see you live if you're planning on doing a tour anytime soon I live in San Diego hopefully you hit SoCal just wanna feel the vibe in person!
Sam...ive been listing to you for years and I actually have seen you around town twice back in the day when I was still in Seattle. I knew you were struggling because I was too. I couldn't be happier to see you on this road. You seem so clear headed and present. I'm here for the new Huck. 🙏 I'm proud of you. & we are religiously bumping Lady Sunday and Bob n Weave. And it's okay to even take it one second, minute, hour at a time. 👌❤️
Your story resonates so closely to mine man. Big ups for being clean for this long - you can do this! Alcohol brings the blow cravings back - so beware
I'm honestly so proud of you sam, i went to your recent show in bremerton with the smoke bus, i was the guy who went up on stage with you and you got so hype and honestly you got ME off xans.. I've been listening to you since i was 13 and now I'm 23, we all love you so much man, so so so so proud of you 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Congrats on 170 days Sam. It takes a lot of strength to reach out for help. I have been a fan of yours for awhile and had a chance to see you at the shobox. Raz came out for a couple songs and it was a great time. I got clean and sober recently celebrated 9 months. I attend NA and AA meetings regularly but I'm so blessed today to be able to deal with life on its terms without relying on a crutch. Thanks for this video bro, I am proud of you! It makes a lot of sense to me now why I have been a fan, Real recognized Real lol. Keep coming back bro you're worth it!
Sam this is incredible. I've been a long time fan of yours and I know how hard this must have been to put out into the world. This definitely WILL help people and I love that you did this. Amazing.
Sam, dude.. I feel you grew up here in Seattle; more the north end but but somehow I put 3 years 10 months and 22 days together. It worked life was good I started drawing again. but then one day I flipped the switch shut AA out. Don't get me wrong I still go to meetings from time to time but its hard to swallow your pride and walk back in see all the faces I closed a door on for a while then they call on you to share. 90-90 saved me once you got me thinking its time to go back things haven't been good for a while. Between play pretend EP and this I'm reminded that I'm not special. thanks for sharing man I know how hard that is to do. An attitude of gratitude will never get you drunk... fuckin' clichés.
I relate to what you said about making art sober........ I had to adjust to performing sober. I thought I needed alcohol to perform, but sobriety made me more clear headed on stage and improved my performance.
Man I was listening to “secret to happiness” today and then i see this sometimes your best advice is your own good to see the change of perspective stay positive bro and keep make the best of music much love from Michigan
Glad to hear you’re doing well man. After losing one on my favorite artists recently I would hate to see it happen to another one. Keep the music coming and I’m looking forward to your next Seattle show!
I’m so happy for you man, i’m been following your music for about 5 years now and I actually met you once in Toledo. You are an amazing artist and an even better person and it’s amazing how you can open up about your story. your fans are always here for you and we are wishing for the best! 🧡🧡 keep making amazing music and keep being awesome
Sam! Been listening to your music since Brand New Bike was released.. I appreciate this Vlog so much. The honesty of it and the rawness of your open honesty. It’s crazy how we work our life around our addictions without even realizing we have a serious problem. So good to hear you’ve hit 175 days that’s tremendous!! Congratulations!! Your doing a great job. Welcome back, can not wait to see what you produce with a sober and clear mind. Thank you for sharing your story!! I’ll be celebrating 5 years in August! 🖤 recovery is possible.
That's awesome you clean and sober. I have 10 year's without a drink and 6 and half years without pills. I'm in college to become a drug and alcohol counselor.
This was absolutely amazing Sam, your music is amazing and always has been. But getting sober man. That shit is crazy impressive! I‘ve dealt a lot with the issue of being in my own head as well. And has had me in places where all I wanted to do was be high to take the pain of anxiousness away or the fear of who people might perceive me as away. I vape bud every night to relax and go to bed but I constantly have to slow myself down so I don’t use too much and get depressed. Hearing you not being depressed inspires me cause this last year in the hard moments where you feel numb, all I’ve wanted to do is smile and feel loved by someone. And the less weed I smoke the more I feel I have a genuine smile. Seriously man you’re inspiring this has gotta be the coolest thing ever man again props to you man.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this with us. I made the decision today I don't want to drink again. I just got done having a absolute shit weekend and had the eye opening experience that if I don't quit doing something that's killing me and not helping my situation I'm going to end up in trouble or worse. Low and behold I get a recommendation from you about the very thing I came to terms with this morning. I wish you the best on your continued journey and I'm happy I can say I legitimately want to start mine. With already loosing Mac Miller, I'd be upset to see a musician I also have great respect for falling victim to the same demons we all face that comes with being human. Life is tough but we don't need to make it harder on selves. Mad love Sammy
I've always liked your music man, but THIS is what I needed to really hear from you. I've been trying to get sober, I joined a drug and alcohol treatment program, I quit smoking cold turkey three months ago. I've been tricking myself though. I take my u.a. on Saturday and then go out Saturday night and drink and do blow. Once a week.
One of the best quotes I've heard in many of these types of videos I've been watching that you say is, (not exactly word for word but), "I'd rather be sober, thinking about wanting to get fucked up sometimes, than be fucked up all the time thinking about getting sober." 🤯🥺🙏
I have 113 days clean from Alcohol and Cocaine, hearing you got sober as well has helped me get through some tough days, really proud of you Sam I know how hard it is, just for today man.
Love you jake! Keep it up
Look mane. This is legit. Fuck yes. 2 years sober Tuesday last week. 2 years ago I was sleeping on a couch for 8 years. Bouncing around from streets to the couch. Dude never in my wildest dreams I would ever believe 2 yeard after being sober. I have a house. Wife. An amazing son. Great job. Dude this shit is real man. More real than people want to believe.

Takin shots of jose at the bar with you. It took me YEARS and YEARS to walk away from the needle. The bottle. The xans and the blow. The crack. The pot... I never in my life been sober this long. Keep walking the righteous path sir. We ARE the message of AA

Sam...ive been listing to you for years and I actually have seen you around town twice back in the day when I was still in Seattle. I knew you were struggling because I was too. I couldn't be happier to see you on this road. You seem so clear headed and present. I'm here for the new Huck. 🙏 I'm proud of you.
& we are religiously bumping Lady Sunday and Bob n Weave.
And it's okay to even take it one second, minute, hour at a time. 👌❤️
You got this Sam, fans are always there for support brother
Your story resonates so closely to mine man. Big ups for being clean for this long - you can do this! Alcohol brings the blow cravings back - so beware
I'm honestly so proud of you sam, i went to your recent show in bremerton with the smoke bus, i was the guy who went up on stage with you and you got so hype and honestly you got ME off xans.. I've been listening to you since i was 13 and now I'm 23, we all love you so much man, so so so so proud of you 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Much love Sam! Glad to have you back. I've got a story similar to that too man. Its rough, could be worse, but it does get better.
Congrats on 170 days Sam. It takes a lot of strength to reach out for help. I have been a fan of yours for awhile and had a chance to see you at the shobox. Raz came out for a couple songs and it was a great time. I got clean and sober recently celebrated 9 months. I attend NA and AA meetings regularly but I'm so blessed today to be able to deal with life on its terms without relying on a crutch. Thanks for this video bro, I am proud of you! It makes a lot of sense to me now why I have been a fan, Real recognized Real lol. Keep coming back bro you're worth it!
“I’d much rather be sober kinda wanting to get fucked up sometimes than fucked up wanting to sober”... Amen 🙏🏻
Much respect bro, very sincere video and makes me like you even more as an actual person not just the music.
This is big. Your story makes me appreciate you so much more. So much respect for you man. This will help so many people🙏🏼💕
We’re glad you’re safe. Keep up the good work.
LOVE YOU LACHOWDER
Your just human man, we all are. Glad your doing better. Keep up the music, your fans been missin yeah.
Sam this is incredible. I've been a long time fan of yours and I know how hard this must have been to put out into the world. This definitely WILL help people and I love that you did this. Amazing.
I met after your concert late 2017 and you just are glowing in the video. Love seeing how happy you are in your Instagram videos with your dog too. 🙏🏼
Sam, dude.. I feel you grew up here in Seattle; more the north end but but somehow I put 3 years 10 months and 22 days together. It worked life was good I started drawing again. but then one day I flipped the switch shut AA out. Don't get me wrong I still go to meetings from time to time but its hard to swallow your pride and walk back in see all the faces I closed a door on for a while then they call on you to share. 90-90 saved me once you got me thinking its time to go back things haven't been good for a while. Between play pretend EP and this I'm reminded that I'm not special. thanks for sharing man I know how hard that is to do. An attitude of gratitude will never get you drunk... fuckin' clichés.
I relate to what you said about making art sober........ I had to adjust to performing sober. I thought I needed alcohol to perform, but sobriety made me more clear headed on stage and improved my performance.
Man I was listening to “secret to happiness” today and then i see this sometimes your best advice is your own good to see the change of perspective stay positive bro and keep make the best of music much love from Michigan
Glad to hear you’re doing well man. After losing one on my favorite artists recently I would hate to see it happen to another one. Keep the music coming and I’m looking forward to your next Seattle show!
I’ve always loved your music and rocked it all these years. It ain’t easy, but we are proud of you. You got this sam.
super brave of you to share and I think this info will definitely help fans/viewers etc. Been a fan, still a fan, thank you for sharing
tears in eyes at "child-like passion"
I discovered you randomly on Spotify suggestions. I really enjoy your work. You're a talented dude. Keep up the good fight.
Mad respect for doing this Sam, glad to see that you're getting better! Keep doing what you're doing man. I can't wait for some more new music.🙏
I’m so happy for you man, i’m been following your music for about 5 years now and I actually met you once in Toledo. You are an amazing artist and an even better person and it’s amazing how you can open up about your story. your fans are always here for you and we are wishing for the best! 🧡🧡 keep making amazing music and keep being awesome
Very Real and honest Sam. Been a fan for close to 10 years now. Excited to see what your future holds. You seem to be on the right path 🖒
I was wondering where the ol huckleberry been! Glad your on the right path my friend. It takes balls to do that!
I've followed your entire career. I'm proud of you man. Keep it up!
And here we are.
Sam, my fucking god, we are one in the same and I needed this so badly right now. 🙏
Sam! Been listening to your music since Brand New Bike was released.. I appreciate this Vlog so much. The honesty of it and the rawness of your open honesty. It’s crazy how we work our life around our addictions without even realizing we have a serious problem. So good to hear you’ve hit 175 days that’s tremendous!! Congratulations!! Your doing a great job. Welcome back, can not wait to see what you produce with a sober and clear mind. Thank you for sharing your story!! I’ll be celebrating 5 years in August! 🖤 recovery is possible.
Good to have you back sam
That's awesome you clean and sober. I have 10 year's without a drink and 6 and half years without pills. I'm in college to become a drug and alcohol counselor.
This was absolutely amazing Sam, your music is amazing and always has been. But getting sober man. That shit is crazy impressive! I‘ve dealt a lot with the issue of being in my own head as well. And has had me in places where all I wanted to do was be high to take the pain of anxiousness away or the fear of who people might perceive me as away. I vape bud every night to relax and go to bed but I constantly have to slow myself down so I don’t use too much and get depressed. Hearing you not being depressed inspires me cause this last year in the hard moments where you feel numb, all I’ve wanted to do is smile and feel loved by someone. And the less weed I smoke the more I feel I have a genuine smile. Seriously man you’re inspiring this has gotta be the coolest thing ever man again props to you man.
SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS
I believe a lot of us needed to hear this, thank you man.
proud of you! powerful first vlog.. Can't wait to hear your next project
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this with us. I made the decision today I don't want to drink again. I just got done having a absolute shit weekend and had the eye opening experience that if I don't quit doing something that's killing me and not helping my situation I'm going to end up in trouble or worse. Low and behold I get a recommendation from you about the very thing I came to terms with this morning. I wish you the best on your continued journey and I'm happy I can say I legitimately want to start mine. With already loosing Mac Miller, I'd be upset to see a musician I also have great respect for falling victim to the same demons we all face that comes with being human. Life is tough but we don't need to make it harder on selves. Mad love Sammy
Proud of you bro! Keep it up! Plenty of great music awaiting!
Amen Sam! Kudos on your hard work. I know its not easy bro.
Keep it up man! I'm struggling to but we'll make it through!!
I've always liked your music man, but THIS is what I needed to really hear from you. I've been trying to get sober, I joined a drug and alcohol treatment program, I quit smoking cold turkey three months ago. I've been tricking myself though. I take my u.a. on Saturday and then go out Saturday night and drink and do blow. Once a week.
