Because of BlaBlaBla, I haven't been able to access this account's admin for years. Now that I suddenly can again, I want to thank everybody for staying their best selves in the comments section. You folks give me what little hope I have. BTW, off speed for 35 years, dry for 25. Both times solo flights; nobody around to help. I'm living proof that it can be done.
(Nov 2017): This clip has become a kind of an online gathering place/support community for my fellow recovering-everythings, and those who want to recover but aren’t quite there yet. I see people reach out, but YT makes it very difficult for direct connections to be made. If you make a connection in the comments, and I receive a request from both parties at info@fooforah.com , I’ll be happy to put you in touch with each other. We're all in this together, even as we work on our own progress.
Cash pulls no punches with this song, written by Lew Dewitt of the Statler Brothers, about a subject Cash was all too familiar with himself--and the performance is unflinching and straight from the heart. From January 6, 1971. Thanks to gf530 for getting me the correct intel on this tune, and to Michael Lamont for suggesting edits in my remarks about the clip.

I will never sell my soul. I will continue to get up brush it off and try to find my true father 1 day.. God... is Good....
This comment is amazing, faith is something amazing and I have similar problems to you, hopefully we can both repent in time and gain forgiveness from our creator, god bless.
That's right never give in. Fight fight fight.

I am a crack smoker.. I hope and pray oneday i will stop and live life like a normal person...this song is saved so i can listen and be inspired to quit..pray for me.
We are.
Don't give up Seven 30. And find out if you have an underlying condition like depression or anxiety adhd add or bipolar, stuff like that. When I found the right antidepressant I was able stop drinking. Don't ever give up. Don't run from God let your addiction be a catalyst that pushes you closer to God. Your desperation -use it... drown yourself in the word RENEW YOUR MIND. Become so full of God that you gain the strength to overcome anything that is not of God. JUST NEVER GIVE UP! You are in my prayers!!
Keep trying
Only u can do it
I hope and pray you put down the pipe. Our Heavenly Father loves you so much! Cry out to him. 🤗
I admire Johnny so much because he’s willing to admit his demons.
I have 160 days clean from years of heroin and cocaine addiction! I've never felt better and more blessed! 💙💚💛💜 Keep me in your prayers!
You got it!
Unless you have been addicted to narcotics you will never understand that misery...
exacially
Thanjs Jerry couldnt of said it any better
So right ,I went on pain meds ,and then I understould my son
God bless and fight for your life
It doesn't only have to be narcotics for one to understand the misery. An addiction is an addiction. ANY addiction is painful and a heart tearing misery indeed.
Johnny Cash was a very special man!
I have 15 years clean, I lost everything more than once, id been to hell, prison & begged.
Every word of this song is true!!
Im glad to say i am truly blessed to be a successful, family man today!.
RIP Johnny! Thank you...
after a 40yr addiction i have 1 1/2yr clean from the needle,I can say Mr Cash is for real. R.I.P.
Grats keep on keeping on.
ONLY Jesus can make you not want that junk anymore, as He did w/ me and the bottle.
Respect
Good for you. God, Jesus, Johnny Cash ... whatever works.
Judy Carlock This post is full, so I am replying here because its the only place! I just wanted to say that most people on here that use the name of God are Christians. I am a Christian, worked as a drug counselor at a methadone clinic 1st job out of college. Now I am detoxing the 9th time off methadone! When you know the drug scene on the streets, reality, you don't turn to Buddah or Allah. No, Jesus understands and heals, and forgives.
THAT WAS JOHNNYS TESTIMONY OF HIS LIFE HOPING IT TOUCHES LOTS OF LIFE S OUT THERE IN DRUGS😇❤🙏😥😪😰BLESS YOU JOHNNY RIP JULIE TEXAS
I've been clean 38 years !! Not on my own strength but Jehovah God's strength and support from family and friends and those chasing
the same goal . Chose your associates wisely and listen to old country, and pray ,and anything is possible !!!
I cry my eyes out every time I hear this song because unless you've been through it, you have no earthly idea.... I pray every night that my son will not ever know the horrors of drug addiction. He is my heart and soul and to even think about him going through what I did to get clean scares the shit out of me... him being born literally saved my life so I pray I can return the favor and save his by telling him the truth when he's old enough to understand.... God bless anyone reading this going thru it.... I've been there and know what you are feeling!!!
Jeff the barber. You beautiful son is well daddy has secret that you are guilty and will never be free of junkie it's the addiction and the death birth of creator is only 1%is strength 99%you stopped 💉 devil in your ♥️👀 junkies prayer is not a biblical message I know every lyric and bio on johnny cash. Praying is spiritual and if Is your spirit cash's prayer is optional for anybody narcotics alcohol pills ketamine krank red ox blood liquid 95%the strongest stimulating amphetamines product ever to be cooked by army doctors keep the soldiers from sleeping cause they are defenders of all conflict. Religious started every conflict of killing identity a different human race that society happily agreed to believe in jesus Allah Hitler Morman jobe. It's fucking all because history you me are the junkie with no strength to say I no enough to say I ain't messiah if it goes and the myth which truth not once junkie becomes the messiah he's the only one to stop history repeating itself I'm proud of you . Stan's tall . I m proud I'm still fighting however 17 I stopped sticking the steelinside my main vien knowing what I'm never free .memories will drag back to the lover that will leave is your wife your sol and sadly once you no junkie is a race that we created the amazing for is . I'm proud to be a heroin slave. I had money I has friends and feeders who we're feeding me to the pack of wolves like a spoon bubbly melting brown rock high Asian smack you trusted to be the saviour. No money heroin is waiting not gone all the pack under the pack leader Brown bubbling and waiting till you fight for your leader he now is waiting. Power is yours. Goodbye
so true that's why I don't like counselors that have never been there and did that and doctors that don't know what they're talking about I was a heroin addict I'm clean off heroin since 1997 thank God ,🙏🏽🙏🏽 when I went to jail I was having withdrawals and they lasted 9 weeks believe it or not but the doctor said I must have something in there if I was still sick I told the doctor you never been there you never did it if I had some I wouldn't be this sick learn you supposed to be a doctor supposed to know this stuff
@@jacquelinegongora216 big facts right there. Anyone tells you the withdrawal from H is short, it’s intense but if you can get thru a week you be ok…. They full of shit. That Jones you feel for a LONG TIME afterwards they tell ya oh that just the mental addiction the physical withdrawals are over… yeah ok. Anybody been thru it knows that mental afterwards is so strong it presents itself as physical symptoms!! If I’m keepin it a buck, I’ve been clean for over 10 years and there are still little things, triggers… a bent spoon, a piece of paper folded like a pack… still wets my appetite and I have absolutely no desire to ever do it again… MENTALLY!!! PHYSICALLY, it’s an involuntary response. So you are spot on, these hacks that never rode that pony have no fukn clue and never will.💯💯💪🏻💪🏻
Wish my sister could have told me how bad she really was with dope. Miss her everyday. R.I.P Christina. Trying to make you proud!
TheChrisG810 Her middle name wasnt Holley was it?
My sister christine died on my 13th birthday from an overdose
TheChrisG810 sorry man
I'm so very sorry...I got lucky and was revived after that I knew the jig was up...Eight months clean
@@isped74 Ohhh Honey! I'm so sorry. So VERY sorry. My son's little bro has been a great inspiration to him. 13! Find a way to make it a celebration still - in her memory.
Thank you for this song for I’ve felt the horror that comes after the thrill. I served two tours of duty in combat when I was in the Marine Core back in 03 when the shit had just hit the fan. I was a 50 caliber machine gunner on the front gun truck of Regimental combat team 7 along with RCT 5 and I did not keep count of nothing for there were many. I just followed orders and God brought me back home to my wife and little girl. When I returned from combat the Dr put me on Xanax’s and Valium’s both many of them and I stayed on them form that point in my life and also for the next 16 years. I would take them to try and just drown out the pain and sorrow I felt but over the years my tolerance got to be so much and I couldn’t ever get enough of them. After my 3rd overdose and I woke up 14 days later and came off the ventilator and was re trained how to walk again. Johnny the Lord God Almighty got ahold of me and he’s not let go of me till this day at this moment and I was blind but now I see and Gods power can help anyone overcome any drug or any hold that satan has on a man, even a die hard Marine like myself. Glory to God Almighty our creator and master. One more thing Johnny, the devil is very powerful and sneaky but he’s just a big ol pussy!!! Get behind me satan!!!! I no longer belong to you.
God bless you brother and thank you for your service to our country.
Thanks for sharing! I have some of the same things happen to me.
Welcome home, Brother. Semper Fi!
Brother You have never belonged to Satan. He's just good at manipulating God's people into making them think that He does!
God Bless You mucker in Jesus Mighty name!
God bless you brotha, I hope your still doing well.
If you see someone struggling from addiction please reach out. It's the worst war in which we fight with. It's worse than any nuclear wars you hear abt on the news. Find faith in God and pray everyday for strength. NEVER GIVE UP even if you relapse.. drug addiction has no cure no matter how many years clean you always risk that one chance of falling into temptation. I never thought I'd touch a needle again after years of sobriety and I had one moment of bad judgement bc I was drunk and I'm back at Rock bottom. But God forgives all sin if you repent. Trust in God and always believe in yourself. To all recovering addicts- NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU RELAPSE YOU ARE NOT A PIECE OF SHIT. YOU DO MATTER! don't let ANYONE belittle you or tell you otherwise. GOD BLESS!
"YOU ARE NOT A PIECE OF SHIT. YOU DO MATTER!"
I love the way you put that! Do true that we're still people, druggie or not! We deserve kindness, dignity, love, and the basics in life!! We are worthy! And we're not pieces of crap! If only the people who judge us, and criticize us, and belittle us could see that we're still human, and we deserve a life just like everyone else!! I also sometimes remind myself of a George Jones song, "The only thing different in sinners an saints. One is forgiven and the other one ain't !" May God bless you in whatever you do!!
Amen
Thankyou Jesus for saving me and delivering me from drugs
I'm addicted to alcohol this hits me as hard a person with other addictions. Stay strong, we can do it!!
I play this video every so often to remind me when I get tempted to use that it simply isn't worth it. 5 years and counting since I put away the pills. I ate prescription pain killers and speeders like they were PEZ candy for MANY years, then would need a ton of downers to bring me down after flying high without sleep for days at a time. I'm lucky to even be alive and still have some of my intellect remaining intact after what I put my body through. The world needs more men like Johnny Cash in the spotlight today speaking out about the unimaginable cycle of horror so many of us were or are trapped in. There is a way out... it isn't easy, but there is hope!! There are people out there who care and know what you are going through to help you obtain that seemingly unattainable ticket to freedom.
Yes. YES. Fucking YES!
KLUNKET I hear you bro
Thank you for sharing part of your journey! I've been clean from opiates and cocaine since 5/1/17.. It's not as long as you, but for me it's huge! It's definitely the most difficult thing I've gone through..but it's without a doubt the most beautiful and rewarding journey. Thanks again for your words, it gave me hope. 💛💜💙💚
KLUNKET yup!!!! im hearing you mate.......keep it up brother
Amen brother, 4 years in March and loving it.. homeless to happiness is just a "f#$@ that" away.. I had help, HELP IS OUT THERE!
God bless you all. from a junkies' mom.
God bless YOU as well Mom. I have felt much of what you have, I'm sure. There is a horrible feeling that comes with our inability to FIX or at LEAST lead them to the right answers................. sigh
I hope and pray your child's addiction is destroyed in a very finite way without his life being taken. I've been told recently that GOD will keep the latter from happening as we pray just that. Bring 'em back Lord. Bring 'em back, stronger and wiser, and desirous of telling others so they may also be free.
oxo ALWAYS!
Jackie Bugdale god bless you
Thank you "mom" my parents neber cared havent seen them in over 10 years... its great to see support that some parents have
@@mattupton6813 sadly I too have the same lack of compassion caring and understanding from family friends and my 25 year partner 'soul mate' he's an addict too
May God Bless you and yours Jackie!
released from the devils claws 14 months :) he is still waiting with open arms to welcome me back to the misery. good luck to all on this wonderful journey
A sense of humor is not a bad thing to have on your side as you take your wonderful journey. :)
same to you my friend.
This May marks 9 yrs clean for me. I still have that demon and fight daily to stay clean. My husband died 10 yrs ago this Sept. From drugs. Our daughter is now going to be 18 in July. I am thankful every day for my sobriety.
Just had a month clean from shooting heroin for 8 years, but relapsed but I'm not gonna give in yet I'll keep trying till I'm truly fixed
RIP Johnny Cash the Man in Black
amazing that they put that on in 1971..... i didn't have tv at that time but i am still surprised he got away with straight talk. Listen to your spirit within.. It will guide you.
I wish I could've met him; just once.
You have
Me too
you still can. repent and follow the Lord.
I was only 10years old when my father and I walked into a local gas station to get supplies for a fishing trip when a long black black bus pulled up and who other than mr cash walked in. My father while holding my hand was completely froze and began sobbing as he once struggled with drugs. Mr. Cash i vividly remember without hesitation hugged my father without uttering a word and said its going to be alright. I was lonly 10 years old and remember it so vividly. Mr cash was so kind and spoke with us about 20 minutes. My father ran a fishing charter business on the island on the east coast and my father and I took me cash fishing free of charge but at the end of the trip he presented my father with a check for 10,000 dollars even though the trip only cost $200. I went fishing with Johnny cash and mu father for 4 hours and it was the best 4 hours of my life. Nothing was said about his game or music we just talked about life and Johnny spoke about the lord Jesus Christ wich got me saved. This was in the summer of 1985. Thank your mr cash and God speed.
don't let me suffer that misery no more!!! 16 years of fighting the needle and the spoon. been 17 months clean and still sweat when i think about "my only friend". We all know its hard and the stigma of admitting it is even harder. We need to change that,and start saving lives not locking them up like i and so many others were
Amen, brother. It's gonna be another couple years, though, before DC makes mental health and addiction issues a priority again. Until then... we have US. :)
thank u!!! I'm going through some sig. other nonsense and need some encouragement, cause its always waiting for me
Cash is striking through your heart, as usual...It shows he really experienced what he's singing here...No one could do better
Can't believe I'd never heard this before! Wow. God Bless you, Johnny Cash!
Hey how are you doing today..?
This is from 1971. Many years later he later covered "Hurt," showing that he never forgot about such pain. Truly an American icon. God bless John Cash (his friends called him John, not Johnny).
and benzoes
y problems seem small compared to stories of others but I realize now addiction is addiction no matter what my addiction has been alcohol,opietes and benzoes its a nightmare coming off that mess and praise my higher power I'm still here to help others in due time
God Bless you Johnny Cash and everyone that has suffered with pain
My brother passed away in 2002 and I have been battling meth addiction I'm now finally sober I have 9 months and 29 day's by the grace of god I am in recovery and plan on trying to change the lives of those in this struggle in honer of my big brother ,RIP Jonny and RIP Jason Todd Hendricks ❤
Johnny speaks for us, a real man of the people. God bless you Johnny.
I'm going through detox now boy is this sop true
Feb 14 2021 I dedicate this to my forever Valentine, my late husband Sean. If loved could have saved him, he would have loved forever.
That is lovely. The day will come, in its own time, that you'll all rejoin the family circle and all this hurt will be gone. Bless you.
What a great musician and inspiration.
Hey how are you doing today..?
I have a little over 7months sober today…
I am very grateful and fortunate that I have this 2nd chance at sobriety. SO many good people are gone now and I’m still here.
I’m having difficulty understanding that…
The greatest voice of of times...RIP Johnny
Hey how are you doing..?

Hi Julie, I'm glad that there are other recovering addicts out there, who are willing to spread the word about the terrors of addict's withdrawal !! To me, the fear of addiction, is just as bad as knowing ISIS was coming to my hometown to kill us Christians !! Worse, maybe, because after they kill you, GOD takes care of you for eternity. THANKS, and stay in recovery !!!julie nabb
God bless you julie. ive also been on cocaine. Keep the faith and be strong
Please stop Yelling.
Everything's gonna be alrigh'!
julie nabb he is so awesome I'm in a rehabilitation center for veterans.and there's nothing I would trade for my recovery right now
If they played it everyday, people would become spiritually numb to it and they would lose the feeling for it.
I dealt with being a junky, 23 years of dope and 18 wheelers. I stopped driving and got my life, wife and daughter back Thank you lord for opening my eyes and thanks for keeping others safe as I was being stupid
Take 1 day at a time, love and strength and prayers for all who are fighting the devil's gravy! May the Lord guide u and help u through the day x god bless all x x x
I never heard this song such a powerful message I been free from the grip of addiction for 45 years I always play those tapes back one day at a time I want to tell every sick and suffering addict that it's possible there is no greater high that being drug free I hurt a lot of people along the way I lost my dignity but most of all i almost lost my soul but praise God today I have my family my child my self respect as a woman there no shame from my past because am a living testimony that God can take all the broken pieces of a shattered life and make the most beautiful masterpiece to the junkie you are loved beyond measure you are special and beautiful the most wonderful and beautiful life awaits you remember one is too many and a thousand is never ever enough may God bless you and break the chains of addiction in ypur life may his grace and favor fellow you along the road to recovery you don't do for anyone or anything you do it for yourself for only then can you stand tall my love to everyone junkie out there will be praying for all of you beautiful people Jesus loves you all ❤❤🙏🙏
Hello how are you doing today..?
Such a powerful song! A message that everyone needs to hear. They're asking for help in the only way they know how. We all need to hear this! Beautiful.
.
I listened to this song for 3 months straight coming off fentsnyl/heroin and crack about 6 years ago and WOW does it speak to me still years later
Well done! I was a heroin and crack addict for 22 years. Much love, David. 💛👊🏻
This song is so true!! Mr. Cash was so blessed with talent!
Oh, drug addicts, Jesus Christ came to save you too. Trust in Him and He will heal you. GOD's love for us is unconditional for all mankind.
No matter what this man sang of, he truly had a way with words. He is very much missed. RIP Johnny.
CLASSICAL TURNED country "Hurt"GO on through these years realizing now he is In another realm still here to enjoy musicals he sings on and on.
Come April 10th, I’ll have 2 yrs clean of all my garbage can addictions. Thank the lord above, that he gave me this chance. To enjoy this recovery. As I od’d 6 times and I don’t have another run in me. The next will be my last. I know this. Life’s so much better now!
love his soul Lord
I never heard this song before and it moves my heart and soul,,,thanks Johnny you’re soul is free among the stars ❤
WOW just saw this on TV (May 2020) and they cut the song off on GET TV. It went to "color bars" till the sone was over. This is a powerful song, and ground breaking for the time he did it on TV. Thanks for posting this here so i could hear the whole song.
I'm an addict. Have been for about 8 years know. Recently I have gotten better but if given the chance I can't seem to not get high. It's what's working for me now. And I hate myself for living to myself every damn night. When I say tomorrow I will be better. To no avail I always fall. I like to think I know what love is. But it's apparent as ever that I have no clue. I'm 27 years old and these posts and this song got to me. I never post like this, confession type posts. Normally I just cry. Change the song then smoke some more meth or weed or go get a cheap can of malt liquoror air duster or Percocet or whatever is available. But maybe this is a sign of my head and heart growing close. I just hope I will get to say what I need to say to the love of my life before I die..
Bang on....this is Real....ive struggled since I've been 13 & moved on to the nasty when I was 15 im 35 now & had & done every shitty stuff that comes with it,I'm a lot better than how I was but I'm kidding myself because I'm keeping my head up just above the water but I'm sinking inside with numerous addictions...its always there lurking...I'm going to get my shit together again try..try...try... R.I.p. Mr Cash ... kept it Real x
Ur a legend Jonny Cash
Just lost my cousin not even 5 days apart from his dad this past two weeks and it took his life sadly you will be sadly and deeply loved and missed David Jones love always ur cousin erykah
🙏🙏
The DEFINITION of a legend
I'm so strung out and this song gives me hope and hate love n pain. Eire32
Jesus says, "Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
He also says, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8
Please don't give up seeking God in prayer for deliverance. I will pray for you.
I like to say im an addict and i wish i was free from all this in jesus name i will never forget im still ur child
A flawed person, an incredible human being. I wish we had him today.
Jonny Cash,bleibst unvergessen. 🙏👍👌👏👏👏.
Day 3 kicking dope. *update*. I’m still clean and I have also wrote a song recovery related: ruclips.net/video/sF4SnWJPOos/видео.html
Day 1. Im fuckin dying bro! I can't fuckin wait to have my soul backkkk!!!!!
Damn, stay strong y'all.
@@holymountain-trading8439 Im still clean!
Good to hear man! Stay with it, you're doing excellent!
As am i!!!
This is the kind of man that could actually help a addict because he's been there and felt all the pain a addict goes thru
What a true but sad song he was the only man could have sang this song and no for fact about drugs I am sure he has saved others. God Bless this soul!
I’ve never been an addict. Reading these comments breaks my heart. No words I’d offer can encourage you. I’m not that good. I was saved from this by the grace of God. Even if you don’t believe in Him I’ll still pray for you. Please try to stay clean. You see it has touched my life through my eldest daughter. I couldn’t stop her. So I know my words fail. Stay strong is all I can offer.
Damn. This song fits my situation to a tee. Pot at 15.. ,Xanax at 18, ..Percocet since 2009 and still going strong.i can't kick it. 120 a day and still need more. God i beg for your help.. Amen
So many AMAZING souls. All caged within a capsule of which they can't control. ❤
20 year's in the shadows of giving misery her company, I've pissed so much away. I just relapsed after 6 months of really giving myself a taste of sobriety.
I lost my baby brother in July of 2016 He had cancer but that's not what took him he died of oxycodone and xnanx combined. He had done drugs like that even before cancer came. R I p Brother.
I have his son now in the same position only he shoots heroin. He's in jail now and I thank God for that.
Just need prayers that this will rehabilitate him. God Bless all that struggle.
It's around 2 years now since I freed myself from the misery of alcohol abuse. Its not been easy but then again anything worth fighting for is never easy.
I'm no country fan and only heard this song whilst looking for Big John.
God bless you all and keep fighting.
this is still relevant today more than ever, i'm an IV fentanyl addict that relapsed after 3 years clean when covid started and i am just now starting to detox and it's really rough. I am urge anyone thinking about picking up or relapsing to reconsider. This is a nightmare
As I live in a house of addicts, over ten years sober and clean, I came to take care of their father downstairs, and see their addiction's in full force fighting over money of his that comes tomorrow. For pills and coke and weed. The insanity never ceases with drugs and alcohol. If the addiction doesn't outright kill you, your body will fail younger than it should've. Good luck, stay sober.✨
Thank you for the true words bless my baby as she misses hers as I have nothing left
My son was on drugs but now he in prison it's off on this thing but I and thank God that he's there because I've got an older son is deceased because of drugs this song brings in a lot of Tears but I would never give up on my children thank you for this song
I felt this song on a personal level.
May God give me strength to live clean
Amen
We have no strength of our own brother. That is why Someone went to the cross for us. Johnny overcame the devil when he saw the light. Watch him sing 'I saw the light' and 'The old rugged cross' Bless you. Know that He is close and powerful to completely save.
@@deonboshoff8191 Amen
6 years sober from being a heroin junkie. Johnny's story,like many others touched me, now I work with people who battle every form of addiction. I do it for the lord. There are way to many sheep on this earth with not enough shepherds.
Let's show the love for each other and never give up on each other and never give up on each other or are would or I kids much love 💝😘
Thank you cash you knew exactly how i feel Sir God bless you.🙏
Oh Lord I have fought alcohol and drug abuse all my life now that I know the Lord all things are possible who go to the Lord 🙏🙏
GOD BLESS you Mr Cash.in tears listening to this.Comforts me to know we both love Jesus.Give him a big hug from me xxx
The shakes and shivers are over
I imagine when Johnny got to heaven, the gates opened up with Jack standing on the other side saying well done brother, well done.
This man has sang about the lives of free, imprisoned, addicted, veteran and holy men. A true American idol. R. I. P. Johnny
and he's BEEN each of these things too, I believe. :D He will always be an example to the world in so many ways. rip jc
Yet look how they treated him!!! Even to this day, they call it "the opioid epidemic" ..still NO 1 HAS SANG 1 SONG TO REACH the young kids, adults to help them. They condemmend this man, HE NNEDED A MEDAL!!
I WAS A HEROIN USER BEAT WHEN I GOT PG WITH MY SON, WHO IS NOW TURNING 3 APRIL4,2019!!!! THANK GOD I GOT AWAY FROM IT.

What a blessing! 🙌🙏👐💖✝
Have you ever listened to the words of "The Man In Black"? I've heard it maybe only a few times in my life, but the other night I listened to the words & WOW!
His wearing of black wasn't for the purpose of being down n all; it was a commemorative kind of thing...in honor of.... well, go listen & or read it! :D
Oh Lord Jesus be with those that are fighting demons of addiction...lay your hands on their bodies and help them through...give them strength comfort and peace...I ask this in your precious name Lord Jesus Amen...
Amen
May it be so.
Amen it's very difficult
Ricky Hall I'm sure that it is hard...stay strong in the Lord and faith he will see you through...Amen
Amen
I am sober today. I still listen to this song. It reminds me of what awaits me if I make a bad choice. Even though being sober is difficult and can be boring it's still better than being sick and suffering.
Hope you're still sober. If so, I just wanted to encourage you to stay strong. That misery you're talking about....... it's still right where you left it. I'm in the thick of it now, actually. For your sake, please never come back to this experience.
Gosh truly truly hope you make it
I’ll take being sober any day over being an alcoholic and IV heroin user right out of high school. Though I do sometimes think of heroin as an ex lover I can’t believe is gone . Then I remember she is gone for good for a reason.
❤️🩹
I'm with you too! The same awaits us if we ever forget! Lost Soo many, too many! They say I was lucky to get through it and I know I was but I still don't have my dear friends and it hurts all the same. 😢
"This sickness inside me, it tears at my soul"
Truer words have never been spoken.
Amen to that
I agree that's what it does, addiction mutes your soul
He knew what he was singing about
I'm praying 🙏🏼 for you please Pray 🙏🏼 for me cause I'm fighting to your not alone

Clean since the 3rd January heroin methadone Valium still the drink 2 go God bless us all keep it up mate
25 years on methadone off it now worse withdrawals iv ever experienced 12 wks of pain,but I still have the odd bag,but with no script(methadone)I got to do it hard core,,and I'm fxxking sick of it,if only I was never put on 25 years ago I would have stop cos the rattle is horrific. Never give up that's my advice.
You know he sings about things that he doesn’t actually know about but this is something he actually I believe knows about first hand. Only because I’m familiar with most every lyric he’s speaking of this one may not be as catchy as Folsom prison. Rip Jonny ca$h and defiantly appreciate my 4 years of sobriety.

fent changed the game
Ive been a drug addict since i was 19, methadone heroin and valium, im now 45, Johnny Cash totally gets it. What a great man, im so glad we have his music..Thank you, Johnny.
I've been a drug addict since I was 17.im 38 nxt wk I'm on methadone the last 15 yrs but 3months I've not done no pills and I'm lowering my methadone thanks 2 1 special man who's giving me love, love that I have never know. ❤️
Find out about sublocade. My heart goes out to being so young. My husband has been battling addiction for last 14 years, it's sad to see his life passing him by. He just recently found someone who will cover the monthly cost of it, thank God bcuz it's not cheap. I wish you all the best.
Remember the Creator loves you deeply, even though our fellow man may kill, lie, steal and cheat.
You are a valuable person.
Every moment in life is precious, treat it like it's your last drop of water.
Life changes rapidly every second and hurls rocks at you, but you will be able to get back up, even if you couldn't dodge them.
Mankind is both a beautiful, fragile, yet treacherous creation.
Mankind is beautiful because everyday someone is born, someone is enjoying life, but we close our hearts to eachother, we can lust after many things.
But if we clear our blocked path, blocked by greed, we will be able to slowly and painstakingly, yet amazingly walk anywhere we please.
If one has had a hard life, it isn't over, in this life, or the next, the Creator will reward you.
Because of this never give up on your dream, dreams are memories that are yet to be remembered.
God bless you, and I will keep you in my prayers! 🙏
Im on my 4th day of opiate withdrawal .. im 24....its too difficult .. this song saved me from relapse .. im done with drugs .. Thank you Johnny and all my fellows may God be with you ..
You can do it, my friend! 30 years off meth after 10 years on, and I am a weak, weak man. It can be done!! Please comment again when you are celebrating your first month!
Praying for you.
I haven’t ever heard this song either but on second line I just started balling like a lil baby. I too struggle daily, almost six months clean & I slipped up 5 days ago... I know it’s going to kill me dead, I knew better than doing it, I no running strong 25+ my next may be my last..
So I pray for strength... prayers to all, and to all may God Bless you.
Praying you are clean 🙏
Hey, hope you're doing alright. If youve fallen off, keep going! You're capable of saving your life and living your dreams.
Grateful recovering heroin addict. 🙋🏻♀️
Clean + Serene since 3/1/12.
God bless you im 24 years old and suffered from addiction to oxycodone im sure it's no measure to your suffering but though i dont know you i love you and pray for you. I've been clean 5 years. Stay strong. Love you.
Hallelujah.
Love you
Keep up the fight from ireland
Where ya from?
As a little girl I used to pretend Johnny was my dad. He grabs my heart with his voice.
So did I.
RIGHT; If this song saves one person, it's worth it !!
rightpatch1 rest in Peace
Yes! Amen! The help starts with touching just 1 person in the vicious cycle. Johnny Cash had been there, he can speak on it with power and conviction. A simple but very deep meaningful song. I give the utmost respect to the legendary man. I just wish I could have known him personally. God Bless!!!!!
@David hill Evidently you've never experienced addiction or had a close Family member die from addiction!!
Prayers for you!
@David hill i had alcoholic father as well, and 2 daughter's that are full blown, has crushed me,!!!!
Been clean from drugs and alcohol for 7 years after 35 years of being lost sobriety is great 👍
The soul of an addict is as sick as his body and mind, every day l pray for the still suffering addict.
Opiate withdrawal is a terrible thing to go through.
And such an overwhelming pride fills one, when going through the countless addicts who've recovered especially from H and other Opiates in the comments section. I can't stop upvoting! :D
Lee Spinks im a recovering addict...been sober for almost six yrs since july 13 2012. I dont regret it...it made me who i am today

Michael Scott same here recovering oxycontin addict and yeah it definitely turns us into better people
Jennifer Reesor Congrats Jennifer :) keep it up no one wants to go back to that shithole of a 'life' we had back then. Constantly worrying about getting sick n who ur gunna have to finesse or rob.... Its a hard knock life. :P
I'm so Proud to say I am 11months and 11days Clean and Sober today!!

Amen
Thank you
Thank u Jesus .please hear my cry Lord .Change the way i think lord please take this from me .My family needs me Amen
@@MyInnerChild81 may your prayers be heard and your body cleansed of its poisons. I pray with you.
Amen.
I really needed this! Been a junkie for 7 years.. Many failed attempts to get sober. A few months here and there.. But this time is different.. Because its life or death now. I can no longer remotely function as a human if I use.. So the next time I use will be my last. And I dont want to die... One week clean yesterday.. just have to make it through today. Ill worry about tomorrow when it comes.

How ARE things Joe? I hope you found the miracle you needed! Please share with us.
is there some way to message each other privately???
I love this so it reminds me of the pain I used to go through.
I used for 26 long year's. the needle was my master.
I got clean in 2014 and have been clean since.
when I was withdrawing I listened to this song and cried I wanted to die.
I now work in a rehab and get paid to help people.
Awesome story!!
Lee Spinks Lots of respect bro! Keep working hard you'll realize theres way more to life than drugs
Lee Spinks how do u get a job at a rehab? i quit myself and want to help people like us
Lee Spinks that is fuckin great man, I've been an addict for 20 years and am 38 years old! God be with you!
This is to "I'm in hell", I don't know you or pretend to know your situation, but I do know addiction(long time addict to pain pills and coke) and I also know the pain from losing my best friend to suicide many years ago(Dec 1998). I was able to overcome addiction in Feb '04. You may be blinded from it at the moment, but you are worth much more than you see. I'm praying for you and that the hell will pass. It will pass and when it does, you'll see that you've got so much to offer. Don't rob this world of the greatness you can become or the originality you can create.
Been clean off pain pills for 5 years now. Everyday is a struggle especially when you battle depression . This truly is a good song !!!
