You cannot have a testimony without the test. Tom is clearly giving his testimony. I'm an addict, 4 years clean. We will always be addicts, always in recovery and fighting every single day. Some days are super hard. The mental instability that comes with recovery is no joke. You have to actually feel everything and it can be so heavy some days. Tom puts everything out there about his mental health and addiction. I can relate so much to his battles. #hangovergang
My worst days sober beat the hell out of my best days drunk...no hangover in almost 5 years. Great reaction!!!! way to keep it honest and real. Thank you!!!
I haven't had a drink since Friday after hearing this song. I had been drinking myself to sleep daily since 2009 (and started way before that). I was crying my eyes out listening to it and just felt, fuck this. I need to change my life. Over 48 hours sober now. One day at a time.
@@Eazfb I am rooting for you! The change is worth the effort, and I know that working on myself isn't always easy, but regaining my love and respect for myself is truly priceless. Please do not hesitate to reach out if needed.
This had me in tears… November 2 is 3 years clean from shooting heroine and meth… i started from prescription pain killers for the second and third degree burns on my lower legs….I did that for almost 10 years and this was exactly how it was…. Withdrawals gave me seizures and almost killed me… this is beautiful… and is spot on what I went through as well…. This is yet another reason why he is my hero…
I have a 15 yr old daughter that has been battling severe anxiety and depression and she won't take meds because of all the side effects. And I support her on that
My daughter struggled with that all through high school. She Still struggles, but she wouldn't take the meds, either. You Can learn great coping skills to make life a little easier. Give her a great support system, and God be with your family. It Does get better with perseverance! #HOG
I am 46 years old and have struggled with depression anxiety and suicide for most of it. I have been on lots of the medication and what I have found that works best for me grows out of the ground and isn't legal everywhere but that's me. Tom has a song on his "First" album Deathreats called Side-effects that there isn't a video for that is one of my favorites. In my 46 years I have learned that life is precious and that the most important thing is to be happy as often as possible. Your Happiness > Money Your Happiness > other people's opinions It is your life to live your way. Don't allow others to speak for you. Be yourself. Enjoy it. To get out of a depression I have found that a routine, exercise diet, and sleep are essential.
There are natural solutions for that as well, I understand the idea of not wanting to use drugs that can be addictive, but also look into some remedies. She's too young for me to try to play doctor and want to say it, but there are medical cannabis options for that type of thing. Addiction is no joke, trust me I know. But mental health is also absolutely no joke, if someone has something that their brain can't deal with it can be bad. I'll pray for your daughter.
Watched his video a few hundred times alredy. I cry each time because I been there. I am 60 yrs old, had different addictions over the years. In the 80's it was acid, cocaine, and meth--at times. I was the acid queen of my town...bragging----no, just facts. In the 90's it was cocaine a grand a day p my nose--again wasn't paying for it, just profits. Also drank a fifth of mescal and half a case of beer a day during the 90's. I quit cold turkey--everything, except beer. Been sober since 1995 I still fight with it because the root cause of my addiction set of the PTSD. Recently, addicted to oxys and ativan after cancer surgery--that was just NASTY. Now, I have liver disease and with recent issues have been eyeing up the bottle again. Tom is amazing--he is so true in what he says. FACT. Tom is my fav ARTIST and that's saying a lot since I have been around since Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, etc. were rocking it.
This had me in tears… November 2 is 3 years clean from shooting heroine and meth… I did that for almost 10 years and this was exactly how it was…. Withdrawals gave me seizures and almost killed me… this is beautiful… and is spot on what I went through as well…. This is yet another reason why he is my hero…
I'm so glad our guy Tom has an outlet and he throws himself into his music! #HOG forever and a day! Riding with Tom till the wheels fall off and then we walk the rest of the way! Thanks for the reaction!
Tom had a mental breakdown 5 years ago. He quit cold turkey. Two week ago he kicked the last bad habit, smoking. I can relate to all of that, I've been there. That was deep. Thanks to you guys, this was a great reaction
I get it. After 20+ years being and addict and now 5 years sober, my entire life had to change. I miss my friends all the time. But.. It is what it is.
Did it twice .... Quit a 50+ k a year coke habit 10 years ago, quit smoking 2 years ago.... one last demon to slay.... but I really don't want to... I have to find some balance... I still want to be able to have a beer or a sctch on the porch now and then... I need some balance.
I just lost one of my closest friends of my life to an overdose. Going to his funeral tomorrow. I have 1 year, 8 months and 7 days sober. Rest in peace Matty. I know you fought so hard. I will forever miss you.
My father died at 43 years old of an alcohol overdose~ it actually says that on his death certificate. 3 years ago we lost my daughter’s boyfriend(I loved that kid like he was my own son) to a Xanax laced with Fentanyl overdose, he had been clean from Heroin for close to a year~ Now my 6 year old granddaughter will grow up without her daddy.. both my father and my daughter’s boyfriend had tried many times to get clean~ it’s such a struggle and the demons are real~ This song and the collab “Church” makes me sob About a year and a half ago my granddaughter was crying and begging for her daddy to come down from Heaven to see her JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT! ~ I cried for days
The fight never stops... someone who struggled with addiction will understand that. Not just with the substance itself but the thoughts that run through our minds... They never stop. Tom spoke out for the broken, beaten, & the dammed with this one. He spoke out for the CLEAN, ALIVE, & STRONG. 😭🖤
That's so cool! I'm literally quitting when this stupid pack is gone!!! You can do it!!! First 3 days are the hardest then it gets a little easier every day. When you really want to quite and you just tell yourself it's done your done its over!!! Lock that demon out!!! Dont listen to it! Then you will be good!! Much LOVE! 🧡💙💚💜💛❤ #HANGOVERGANG #TOMMACDONALD #HOG #NOVAROCKEFELLER
I’m not going to tell you it will be easy. I smoked for 35 years and threw them in the garbage 3 and half years ago. I still have cravings. It’s a mind thing. I’ll be praying for your success my friend. HOG for life
Great song! Brings back so many heartaches and memories. I’ve been clean for 4 years now and I’m living my best life; but, everyday is struggle. I don’t care what anyone says. Recovering addicts are some of the strongest people on this plant. GREAT REACTION!!!
This gave me chills. Brought tears to my eyes. I love it. 💜💜. Madchild just dropped a great song called Alone also. Wasn't sure about Madchild at first but he is growing on me. #Hog for life
I'm a grateful recovering addict celebrating 10 years clean, after 15 years of an all consuming addiction to substance abuse ending with an IV speedballing habit. Thank you for speaking on the struggle we addicts fight EVERYDAY! The song speaks volumes and hit me hard. And THANK YOU Tom Mcdonald, for your candor and raw vulnerability with this record!! However, your voicing about our lifelong battle to make the next right choice, and your kind words of support, understanding, your sincerity and your encouragement is the highlight of this video. Thank you for being a voice for us, and utilizing your platform to spread awareness and inspiration! I truly needed this song from Tom, and you two managed to speak even louder to me!! #realtalk #onedayatatime #humanshelpinghumans
He wears his heart on his sleeve why those of us who actually get to know him stick with him. HOG 4ever 💕 Beautiful messages from you two! Thank you! ❤️
And also what many of us have gone through or are going through or will have to go through. Get saved by your angels or become one. The struggle is so real and I’m so glad we have Tom being so transparent about his struggles letting us out here know that we are not alone in the fight. Sometimes that’s all some need is to know they aren’t alone. Love the reaction!
I am supposed to be dead, but here I am 11 years later and yeah it's the hardest thing. This is raw and transparent. Tom speaks to us through his soul.
I love watching you two what a beautiful singing voice you have💕 I loved this song it’s very powerful you feel what he’s gone through very emotional. I’m so happy he’s made it to the top just being himself and being Honest speaking the truth!!
For those of you who've never dealt with detoxing or withdrawls, Sobriety isnt a joke.. Your body adapts to needing the alcohol or drugs. It warps your brain chemistry and habits turn into dependency. You'd think the worst of it is over when you get clean, but its not even close. Sobriety almost always leads to thoughts of suicide and nihilism (everything is pointless). The first year of being sober is the hardest by a fucking mile. The depression is insane. It does get easier with time, but not nearly fast enough. The battle with addiction is a life-long one, and I thank Tom for being vulnerable enough to release a song like this. -Former nurse of 10years and 12 year sober pain-pill addict.
Hit home.... its like a ballad to addicts and those who have overcome their addictions out there! Gave me chills, made me cry..... I love it when songs pull out emotions on that level!! Much love to you Tom for sharing! #HOG
As a person who has been in the hell of addiction and withdrawals... This hits.. Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. About 15 years clean and im never going back... 💪🏻
I love the both of y'all!!! Asia you are the best and so gorgeous!!! You are an angel ❤ and my gosh I wanna cry when I hear this song.. I have never done anything like what he use to do but I feel for Tom.. I respect this man so much! I'm blessed that I discovered him last year! The best thing that ever happened to me
im currently on day 47 of recovery from my addiction and about a week ago i found this song and his other song sober and i have been listening to them non stop because those 2 songs have so much in it i have really related to in the past 47 days and at this point i think i have the upperhand on this addiction and i wont let it take me over again i honestly don't remember the last time i was this happy and enjoying life i had a ROUGH childhood and it has taken its toll but that past wont define the rest of my life neither will that addiction im going to LIVE MY LIFE thank you for this reaction more people really do need to hear this song the message is something many people need to hear
I love Tom and consider myself hog. I'm really glad that he put out a video about his journey and pain that shows his struggle and will SAVE LIVES. I was getting slightly put off by the same subjects, being independent, money, persecution, etc., although the diss track of Dave is still one of my favorites, go figure. Love Tom, Nova, BJ and Asia. I know almost all of the words to his songs and think that you are all gifted and talented.
Unfortunately I fell for the "if you want to get off of those take these" now the withdrawals are worse then the original addiction...... Pray for me y'all Many blessings to you
@@RM-ti2bv I got tricked into suboxon that way. If I can give a suggestion, try kratom. It's a legal natural plant from Asia. It's what I used to get off pharma. It changed my life.
@@brianpigg3119 thank you very much brethren. Don't get very much inspiration being a loner, just trying to make My love ones proud of me. It's been a long road and know I have so much farther to go... But greedy as it may seem I do find a bit of peace knowing there are others traveling the same roads and some who aren't but still are willing to be others support, it helps with the courage.
Great song rundown once again! Thank you for sharing, and hat's off to you two for pushing through your emotional reactions to still give a heartwarming, objective analysis on the song and more so, the really challenging topic of people's struggle with depression or suicide. 🙏
I just actually lost a cousin to his entire body shutting down from alchohol abuse a few days ago. It's been a while that I have been struggling to go a day without a drink and after my cousin's passing I've been knowing it's a sign that I need to quit, and this song is dropping at like the perfect time for me, this is the perfect example of how Tom's music is that light that he is trying to share uplift and inspire others to be their best. I am so sorry for your loss of your friend ❤ Thank you for these reaction videos as well!
The sad thing about medication is, it only helps your symptoms, or makes symptoms worse, or affects other things or organs in your body, sometimes the side effects are worse than the actual disease. There is NO medication that is a cure for any disease. It's sad. Thank you for this reaction and your breakdowns. Thank you Tom MacDonald for being so truthful and putting real meaning in your songs. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
It's the little details that make this video so unbearably beautiful. When Tom is in bed, his lil Dggie is right by his side. My lil Chihuahua... he's a real ride or die buddy., been right by my side... 16 months since I was 4 yrs deep into a meth addiction. Luckily I found new friends online. #HOGFAM and #HMACKFAM and even Tom, Harry and all the reactors... love my new friends.
I never knew that... We already have alot in common, but we got even more in common then we thought ... I been an addict too. Not meth but heroin and pills... Almost 15 years clean... So if you ever wanna talk about anything or just vent. You know where to find me..
My daughter is 21 months sober off a 2 yr meth addiction. She was snorting pills 1st at 16... then went to heroin (snorting) DAILY. I sent her to rehab and she spent her 17th birthday and Mothers day in rehab. Said she would never go to a needle.. and she didn't. But 4 years later, in and out of my house, losing jobs.. OD'd. Went to jail for 3 months over personal caught with less than a gram. Came out clean and sober. Got 2 jobs and was going to meetings. Both jobs was killing her and she was exhausted and one night at the bar she waitressed at a guy gave her a line to "help keep her awake and give her energy." It was METH. As much as I thought heroin was gonna kill her and the devil... oh no.. meth was WORSE. In only ONE year she went from snorting to shooting it. Was down to 85lbs..was arrested 3 times and in and out of jail (30 days 2 times) and the last time.. she had an ounce she was selling and got busted for "Trafficking". $250,000 bond. Got her out and on an ankle monitor for a year. She hasn't been to court yet due to Covid. That was her wake up call.. facing 3-7 years now and a felony charge. Lawyer cost $10,000 to take her case. She is 21 months sober, in college and works full time. Back to 135lbs and is in a great relationship with a man who met her when she was strung out and rock bottom but wouldn't date her till she got clean. Well I have my daughter back now and her monitor is off and she's doing so good! I pray the court sees how far she's come since her arrest 2 years ago and the complete change she's made and that they just give her probation. She's worked so hard. 🙏🙏🙏
@@angelicajoy1 Wow . That is amazing.. Im so glad to hear she is clean and out of it. I used some amfetamin back in the day but wasn't really my thing. Was basically just taking it to not get sick cause i couldn't get heroine or pills. But a couple of times i got methamphetamine instead of just amfetamin and that shit was crazy. I really didn't like it. Didn't give me anything except a whole lot of scratches on my body and my whole face. it ws so itchy. It was so bad i was bleeding. And i got nothing but bad memories from that thankfully. Its a hell of a drug and im glad to hear this story that she got out. And i can see she got good people around her and thats really good. It looks like she has gone through the worst of it. The first year is always hard. But it never really completely stops cause addiction never stops. Its always on your mind. I been clean for years and still think about it. But im never going back. And it seems like she been through some stuff that make her not wanna go back too. And with a new boyfriend, job and new surroundings it looks like she is on the right track. And im really glad to hear that.. I'll be 🤞🏻 and 🙏🏻 for her and im sure that the judges are gonna see thst she is doing well now and just give her probation...
@@angelicajoy1 every single day you wake up might be the day you relapse. Has hard as it is to keep that in the back of your mind you have to do it. Every day you stay clean it becomes a lil easier to see drugs for what they are A VERY BAD IDEA. Everyday sober t becomes a lil easier to rationally asses the pros and cons of doing drugs again. And of course when viewed logically drugs are suck a stupid idea, so, dangerous, so coastally, so deadly, it becomes easier and easier to stay clean. I really hope she and I and everyone struggling can remain sober.
When I listened to this I choked up and I've gone through nothing like what Tom or other addicts have. Tom's gift is painting a musical picture that everyone can appreciate, then Nova puts a visual on top of the music and fully fleshes out the art.
I KNOW THIS COMMENT IS LONG BUT PLEASE READ IT Asia & BJ!!! I hope yall see this comment. I am the guy who commented on your live feed a while back and said thank you for making such cool content because I live in chronic pain and your channel helps distract me from it. I had to comment because of something Asia said about drs giving out meds. That is a huge misconception. When it comes to Opiates, Pain meds, doctors don't just give them out anymore. It is extremely hard to actually get those meds now. Patients have to jump through dozens of hoops to get help. Things like seeing a psychiatrist, do physicaltherapy, be randomly drug tested, do acupuncture and other things. The DEA has been going after pain management drs and finding any reason to strip their medical license so drs don't give them out anymore. Even to people like me who have diagnosed conditions. See I have a condition that goes by Severe endstage lateral bilateral degenerative arthrophy and severe endsatage aseptic necrosis with Femoral head collapse. This mean my femoral heads, hip bones, are dead and have been crushed. I walk around on broken hips. Ive had 6 drs ask me how I am even able to walk but I dont know how. My point is I have real medical conditions that are extremely painful and even I can't get meds and I have no history of drug abuse. On the news I saw a report of how opiate overdoses have gone up 30% in the last year. The question is why. See when people like me go to their dr and can't get the meds they need we have no choice but to turn to drugs off the street. These drugs are laced with other things like fentanyl. That is why so many people are overdosing. Its not the drs. Its the DEA and Medical Boards fault because they punish drs who are trying to help patients like me. Patients should never have to turn to the illegal drug market so that they can even get out of bed. Opiate hysteria has taken over our country and most people think its the drs that are causing the overdoses but in reality it is the lack of medication availability that is causing patientsto die from street drugs.
I hate to hear you are going through that and i understand. There are people abusing and it is a problem but there is also a huge pain epidemic going on too. Patients unable to get their pain under control (for some of us, there isnt a cure for what we are dealing with medically) have and still do commit suicide because they cant withstand the pain anymore. I hope you can find a doctor to help you soon and hang in there. There are people who understand out in this world. Much love. ❤❤
Awesome reaction to this you two! I’m with you Asia, this one was emotional. It is hard to see someone you care about struggling and because Tom is so open with his fans, I believe it makes us care for him more than fans of most other artists. Also wanted to say that you have such a beautiful voice Asia. I subbed to your Im Just Asia and checked out your music video. It is great. And thank you Asia, I needed that “I love you” today! ❤️ #HOG
I used to use alcohol and drugs to cope with my mental issues, it only led to psych wards and hospitals. Alcohol and drugs never helped one bit. I went to detox July 25, 2020. Best decision ever. Keep on moving forward to those who need it. -Trog
This song and video is how I feel everyday. I ended up moving out of the county I've lived in most my life to get away from all the garbage. Told my friends I needed a break from everyone one to work on myself. The real ones understood and are still my friend's. The others don't exist to me
@@JD-bc2rx gotta want it brother, ( not saying that you don't). I can say all the words in the world to you about how, if I can do it you can do it, Or it just takes time. Reality is, you gotta choose to make a change. Support helps. But not all support is good support. Get away from the enablers, and people who don't want to change or better themselves. Real, True family and friends will be there when you're ready, and will be there in the end. Hope I helped, even if just a little bit. I'm here if ya need to chat.

I just wanna say thank you to you guys for consistently talking about mental health and encouraging positivity and love. I just wanted to show love to you two and let you know that you def help me smile on days when its not always easy to do so. ❤❤❤
Tom Exposed his soul on this video just like he exposed his rage on his video "Don't Look Down" I feel your pain Bro. Peace be with you and Nova. May God Almighty Bless the both of you.
13 years off the bottle, ill never forget the DT's. Before going into detox they made you stay in a homeless shelter for the night. I remember shaking like a leaf, in a room full of gym mats. Just gotta keep the memory...
This song and many of other songs Tom has released will change lives. His pain is our pain, his fight our fight. Week after week he gives us all he has. Great reaction.
You have to love a true musician because the words they pour reach out and grab you by the throat where you feel the burn in you face a suddenly the tears come and then your heart is cleansed!!! You feel exactly what they feel! Or you relate and feel how the feel! That is talent! Michelangelo kind of talent! So much respect!
This song brought tears to my eyes. Thought I had heard it enough to be okay but as soon as Asia teared up I lost it. 😢🤧😢🤧. This is the deepest Tom has gotten. #HangOverGang
It's a little late but, my dad (who I saw as a Superman) told me when he saw me crying and I apologized said, "What are you apologizing for? You've seen me cry, am I not a man?" I assured him he's a real man and he responded, "Real men cry. Don't let anyone tell you any different." That was solid advice. I didn't even feel bad for crying when he eventually died. I carry it with me to this day.
He really put it all out there! I've not personally been through this, but recently lost a military buddy of mine due to an OD. This one hit hard!! Great reaction.
Honestly my fave reaction by yall to date. Its always a great reaction but yeah this one..the best. I've been free of a heavy addiction since 2004. It about killed me, seriously. And this song, wow! It touched me deeply. I was in this place he talks about. Im good now. I can go days, weeks and even months without a thought about the drug. Some days the old pull calls out to me. I can say id never go back. That I know without any doubt. Thanks for this reaction. Peace, love and good vibes yall!
Right! As an addict 7 yrs off the opiates last week, this shit is a fight for the rest of my life!!! For 2 ppl like y’all that ain’t addicts, ur reaction to what the fight is like hit the nail on the head! I’ve never met or spoken to a non addict that understood what it was like more than ur reaction just was. Kudos to y’all God Bless
I was a drug addict for years then added alchol. Became an alcoholic and quit the drugs. My drinking just kept getting worse and worse. Then 3 years ago suffered cardiac arrest and was down for 37 min. Cpr the whole time shocked 4 times. Doctors expected me to be dead by morning and im still here. I love how he uses his addictions and storys to make songs. He really puts him self out there.
Addiction doesn't go away. You just control it. That's what's sad. If the meds had never been given to you then you never would know that feeling. The withdrawal experience will keep you away in many cases. Not to mention the damage to relationships. Gotta love that Tom has the courage to bring stuff up so others can benefit. Great reaction y'all!
I have mad respect for you. I didn't battle drug addiction, but I battled alcohol. I grew up with a horrible childhood myself. I joined the Army, and my alcohol addiction took off from there. It got worse in my early adulthood, and my life spiraled out of control, when I went to Iraq in 2003. I did, however, got kicked out for pot and alcohol, but I was able to rejoin the Army, four and a half years later. That wouldn't have happened, until my wife told me she was pregnant with my first child. I quit cold turkey. Now, I'm law enforcement, rejoined the Army, graduated from college (twice), and ready to retire from the military. I feel the pain.
Snowflakes 4 weeks ago, Don't Look Down 2 weeks ago and now Withdrawals this week. 3 in 6 weeks....Awesome. This one brings back many memories when I got clean 14 years ago
I have listened to this song at least 100 times today and the line that keeps stopping me is "I deleted all the numbers in my phone". When I gave up all of my vices I had to remove all those people from my life that I knew would lead me back down the road of distructuction to save myself. #HOG4LIFE
Not too long ago my 18 year old told me that she doesn't want to take medicine for her anxiety and depression because she doesn't want to be numb, she just wants to be happy. I was mixed with happiness at her maturity in seeing that the medicine does that but also I felt sadness that she is feeling that bad. I support her 100% in figuring out what she needs to do.
Such a great review you two! The best one ever imo. Also, for those on depression and anxiety percscriptions or feel they need them, they do have a few that don't have dependency side effects. Gotta be pro active and help each other navigate. ❤
It feels like with Tom's music he's on this journey. The haters keep trying to hold him back so he has to stop to push them away, which allows him to make progress with his life with stuff like this. The thing about addicts is it's not about the particular substance. It's a state of mind. Anyone who's gone through it will tell you it's ongoing, not just a part of their past. Tom's been channeling it into his music over the past couple years. He may not be throwing up anymore but the Hangover(Gang) always shows up for him.
Asia your absolute gorgeous smoke show ! Bj your lucky ! Love your take on tom can see and feel the emotions you guys have ! Everyone pretty much lost loved ones to addiction its a hard video to not cry to ! God bless
THIS SONG IS THE REASON WHY WERE HANGOVERGANG I FELT EVERY INCH OF THAT PAIN OVER AGAIN. TOM IS AN ICONIC LEGEND AND JUST REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT HE HAS HERE. MY SAVIOR MY DAD SAVED ME 20 YEARS AGO 3 WEEKS OF THIS HELL I HAVE A PARTY EVERY YEAR WITH MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS JUST TO CELEBRATE MY STRENGTH IN THIS WAR AND I ALWAYS LISTEN TO HIS SPOKEN WORDS TO SET THE MOOD NOT ALONE AND ANXIETY IS MY SHIELD AND ARMOR IN THIS WAR AND HES RIGHT WHY TAKE DRUGS TO GET OFF DRUGS NOPE I WILL INSTEAD KEEP HIS WORDS IN MY HEART" TOUGH TIMES DONT LAST TOUGH PEOLE DO) THEYRE FROM MY BIBLE OF TOM LOVE AND MUCH RESPECT TO ANYONE GOING THROUGH. THIS YOURE NOT ALONE WERE HERE FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS US WERE HANGOVERGANG NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS LOVE YOU GUYS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ASIA KEEP RISING YOU BEAUTIFUL QUEEN YOURE RESPECT IS COMMING
No matter how many times I here this song I get those chills. The emotions in this song are on point. 10 years clean this go around I was clean before relapsed now it's been 10 years Crack free
This really made me cry like a baby. I never did drugs or anything like that but it just hits me hard. 😔 and every time I’m listening to this music I cry. This is one of my favourite music from Tom. We have to appreciate his work and everything because he is a person too he can be to most lowest point sometimes. Life is hard for all is a sacrifice that never stops, you have always to fight to be strong like you never been before and yea I know it’s hard I have been to my lowest point and I am still sometimes those days even that I don’t do drugs or drunk. Only limit is you. Life offers so many doors but it’s up to you which door to open. I love Tom and that is why he is my favourite artist. And I hope everyone is doing good and we are here for you. Everybody is here for everybody.
I've suffered from addiction for many years and have bipolar disorder anxiety disorder PTSD been clean for 3.yrs now praise God and in regular therapy I haven't felt a song this real in so long all facts but it's possible to get better
And this why Tom needs the support, from us all!! He loves what he's doing, at 70,,, i love his music! He will always have my support! Been there!!!
You cannot have a testimony without the test. Tom is clearly giving his testimony. I'm an addict, 4 years clean. We will always be addicts, always in recovery and fighting every single day. Some days are super hard. The mental instability that comes with recovery is no joke. You have to actually feel everything and it can be so heavy some days. Tom puts everything out there about his mental health and addiction. I can relate so much to his battles.
#hangovergang
are you a Eminem fan because I am and I’m also a Tom fan…
My worst days sober beat the hell out of my best days drunk...no hangover in almost 5 years.
Great reaction!!!! way to keep it honest and real. Thank you!!!
Are you a Eminem fan because I am and I’m also a Tom fan …
For real, every time I think it might be nice to have a drink. All I do is remember the next morning and it cures that craving quick haha!
I haven't had a drink since Friday after hearing this song. I had been drinking myself to sleep daily since 2009 (and started way before that). I was crying my eyes out listening to it and just felt, fuck this. I need to change my life. Over 48 hours sober now. One day at a time.
@@Eazfb I am rooting for you! The change is worth the effort, and I know that working on myself isn't always easy, but regaining my love and respect for myself is truly priceless. Please do not hesitate to reach out if needed.
Best words ever 2 me from u TLB \m/
"I loved what I hated" is the most powerful line in this song to me. The battle is so complex.... I cried too @Asia. ML&R
This had me in tears… November 2 is 3 years clean from shooting heroine and meth… i started from prescription pain killers for the second and third degree burns on my lower legs….I did that for almost 10 years and this was exactly how it was…. Withdrawals gave me seizures and almost killed me… this is beautiful… and is spot on what I went through as well…. This is yet another reason why he is my hero…
I have a 15 yr old daughter that has been battling severe anxiety and depression and she won't take meds because of all the side effects. And I support her on that
My daughter struggled with that all through high school. She Still struggles, but she wouldn't take the meds, either. You Can learn great coping skills to make life a little easier. Give her a great support system, and God be with your family. It Does get better with perseverance! #HOG
I am 46 years old and have struggled with depression anxiety and suicide for most of it. I have been on lots of the medication and what I have found that works best for me grows out of the ground and isn't legal everywhere but that's me. Tom has a song on his "First" album Deathreats called Side-effects that there isn't a video for that is one of my favorites.
In my 46 years I have learned that life is precious and that the most important thing is to be happy as often as possible.
Your Happiness > Money
Your Happiness > other people's opinions
It is your life to live your way. Don't allow others to speak for you. Be yourself. Enjoy it.
To get out of a depression I have found that a routine, exercise diet, and sleep are essential.
There are natural solutions for that as well, I understand the idea of not wanting to use drugs that can be addictive, but also look into some remedies. She's too young for me to try to play doctor and want to say it, but there are medical cannabis options for that type of thing. Addiction is no joke, trust me I know. But mental health is also absolutely no joke, if someone has something that their brain can't deal with it can be bad. I'll pray for your daughter.
She needs to find the power in her self to beat that , and that power is there !! She dont need meds.
@@mohterrortime It's a lifelong battle
Watched his video a few hundred times alredy. I cry each time because I been there. I am 60 yrs old, had different addictions over the years. In the 80's it was acid, cocaine, and meth--at times. I was the acid queen of my town...bragging----no, just facts. In the 90's it was cocaine a grand a day p my nose--again wasn't paying for it, just profits. Also drank a fifth of mescal and half a case of beer a day during the 90's. I quit cold turkey--everything, except beer. Been sober since 1995 I still fight with it because the root cause of my addiction set of the PTSD. Recently, addicted to oxys and ativan after cancer surgery--that was just NASTY. Now, I have liver disease and with recent issues have been eyeing up the bottle again. Tom is amazing--he is so true in what he says. FACT. Tom is my fav ARTIST and that's saying a lot since I have been around since Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, etc. were rocking it.
Less years, same experience. Stay away from that bottle friend
Hang in there❤❤❤❤ Don't drink...no matter what!!
Beth Kelley …I feel like I just read my story….I quit it all and the struggle is real every single day!
Bawling....every time
I feel this so much. Anyone with first hand experience will feel this.
Absolutely 👍
Yep, I’m 52 and still fighting
Yup. It's a painful one.
@@bobakey6997 you keep fighting Bob…it’s worth it!
This had me in tears… November 2 is 3 years clean from shooting heroine and meth… I did that for almost 10 years and this was exactly how it was…. Withdrawals gave me seizures and almost killed me… this is beautiful… and is spot on what I went through as well…. This is yet another reason why he is my hero…
I'm so glad our guy Tom has an outlet and he throws himself into his music! #HOG forever and a day! Riding with Tom till the wheels fall off and then we walk the rest of the way! Thanks for the reaction!
Tom had a mental breakdown 5 years ago. He quit cold turkey. Two week ago he kicked the last bad habit, smoking. I can relate to all of that, I've been there. That was deep. Thanks to you guys, this was a great reaction
The withdrawals are the hardest part of getting Sober. You have to change your whole life when you get clean. People do not realize how hard that is.
I get it. After 20+ years being and addict and now 5 years sober, my entire life had to change. I miss my friends all the time. But.. It is what it is.
Did it twice .... Quit a 50+ k a year coke habit 10 years ago, quit smoking 2 years ago.... one last demon to slay.... but I really don't want to... I have to find some balance... I still want to be able to have a beer or a sctch on the porch now and then... I need some balance.
100% 3.5 yrs here
It's hard too, because it so often means leaving behind people.
Amen for real
Wow Toms music is so powerful, love him ❤️
I just lost one of my closest friends of my life to an overdose. Going to his funeral tomorrow. I have 1 year, 8 months and 7 days sober. Rest in peace Matty. I know you fought so hard. I will forever miss you.
I’m sure he is so proud of you ❤️.
@@jorelzapata468 Thank you
You 2 are such beautiful souls! Thanks for all the reactions + your amazing voice!!
My father died at 43 years old of an alcohol overdose~ it actually says that on his death certificate. 3 years ago we lost my daughter’s boyfriend(I loved that kid like he was my own son) to a Xanax laced with Fentanyl overdose, he had been clean from Heroin for close to a year~ Now my 6 year old granddaughter will grow up without her daddy.. both my father and my daughter’s boyfriend had tried many times to get clean~ it’s such a struggle and the demons are real~ This song and the collab “Church” makes me sob
About a year and a half ago my granddaughter was crying and begging for her daddy to come down from Heaven to see her JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT! ~ I cried for days
The fight never stops... someone who struggled with addiction will understand that. Not just with the substance itself but the thoughts that run through our minds... They never stop. Tom spoke out for the broken, beaten, & the dammed with this one. He spoke out for the CLEAN, ALIVE, & STRONG. 😭🖤
The doctors and pills destroyed my body and mind for years.. Hit me hard hearing this
Im so sorry to hear that... I had to learn the hard way too! Hope you are holding up and doing well! ❤️ -Asia
Same here. 9 months of "legal" painkillers turned into 20 years in the blink of an eye. Feels like my life was stolen. 5 years sober now
Are you a Eminem fan because I am and I’m also a Tom fan …
@@Shudaba are you a Eminem fan because I am and I’m also a Tom fan
All because we (I) was naive enough to believe that the drs were truly there to help, instead we got drug pushers just on pharmacy level
I literally want to play this song over and over, forever, until I quit cigarettes. This song is truly liberating for me. Hang over gang for life.
That's so cool! I'm literally quitting when this stupid pack is gone!!!
You can do it!!! First 3 days are the hardest then it gets a little easier every day.
When you really want to quite and you just tell yourself it's done your done its over!!! Lock that demon out!!! Dont listen to it! Then you will be good!!

Great song! Brings back so many heartaches and memories. I’ve been clean for 4 years now and I’m living my best life; but, everyday is struggle. I don’t care what anyone says. Recovering addicts are some of the strongest people on this plant. GREAT REACTION!!!
Tom said he just needs a reason, he found that in music. 1000’s or others found their reason in #TomMacdonald

This gave me chills. Brought tears to my eyes. I love it. 💜💜. Madchild just dropped a great song called Alone also. Wasn't sure about Madchild at first but he is growing on me. #Hog for life
I liked him so much in sober
I'm a grateful recovering addict celebrating 10 years clean, after 15 years of an all consuming addiction to substance abuse ending with an IV speedballing habit. Thank you for speaking on the struggle we addicts fight EVERYDAY! The song speaks volumes and hit me hard. And THANK YOU Tom Mcdonald, for your candor and raw vulnerability with this record!! However, your voicing about our lifelong battle to make the next right choice, and your kind words of support, understanding, your sincerity and your encouragement is the highlight of this video. Thank you for being a voice for us, and utilizing your platform to spread awareness and inspiration!
I truly needed this song from Tom, and you two managed to speak even louder to me!!

Beautiful messages from you two! Thank you! ❤️
Love you guys! This song made me cry. I felt this in my soul. I can't stop listening to it. Bless you all and Tom. #HOG
Tom is saving lives with his music. This man is amazing. Love ya'll's reactions.
And also what many of us have gone through or are going through or will have to go through. Get saved by your angels or become one. The struggle is so real and I’m so glad we have Tom being so transparent about his struggles letting us out here know that we are not alone in the fight. Sometimes that’s all some need is to know they aren’t alone. Love the reaction!
I am supposed to be dead, but here I am 11 years later and yeah it's the hardest thing. This is raw and transparent. Tom speaks to us through his soul.
Love tom loved this song. Stay strong tom #hoggang
I love watching you two what a beautiful singing voice you have💕 I loved this song it’s very powerful you feel what he’s gone through very emotional. I’m so happy he’s made it to the top just being himself and being Honest speaking the truth!!
For those of you who've never dealt with detoxing or withdrawls, Sobriety isnt a joke.. Your body adapts to needing the alcohol or drugs. It warps your brain chemistry and habits turn into dependency. You'd think the worst of it is over when you get clean, but its not even close. Sobriety almost always leads to thoughts of suicide and nihilism (everything is pointless). The first year of being sober is the hardest by a fucking mile. The depression is insane. It does get easier with time, but not nearly fast enough. The battle with addiction is a life-long one, and I thank Tom for being vulnerable enough to release a song like this.
-Former nurse of 10years and 12 year sober pain-pill addict.
Hit home.... its like a ballad to addicts and those who have overcome their addictions out there! Gave me chills, made me cry..... I love it when songs pull out emotions on that level!! Much love to you Tom for sharing!

As a person who has been in the hell of addiction and withdrawals... This hits.. Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
About 15 years clean and im never going back... 💪🏻
Just celebrated 13 years....I’m not going back either! That was HELL!!

I love the both of y'all!!! Asia you are the best and so gorgeous!!! You are an angel ❤ and my gosh I wanna cry when I hear this song.. I have never done anything like what he use to do but I feel for Tom.. I respect this man so much! I'm blessed that I discovered him last year! The best thing that ever happened to me
im currently on day 47 of recovery from my addiction and about a week ago i found this song and his other song sober and i have been listening to them non stop because those 2 songs have so much in it i have really related to in the past 47 days and at this point i think i have the upperhand on this addiction and i wont let it take me over again i honestly don't remember the last time i was this happy and enjoying life i had a ROUGH childhood and it has taken its toll but that past wont define the rest of my life neither will that addiction im going to LIVE MY LIFE thank you for this reaction more people really do need to hear this song the message is something many people need to hear
Tom is a truth teller, his experience is spot on for how addicts have to deal with this hell every day, every hour, minute, second, of their life.
I love Tom and consider myself hog. I'm really glad that he put out a video about his journey and pain that shows his struggle and will SAVE LIVES. I was getting slightly put off by the same subjects, being independent, money, persecution, etc., although the diss track of Dave is still one of my favorites, go figure. Love Tom, Nova, BJ and Asia. I know almost all of the words to his songs and think that you are all gifted and talented.
Tom Macdonald is my hero!
Superman isn't real. TOM MACDONALD IS!
This is coming straight from his heart and pouring into our souls. This is amazing! #HOGfamily
He explains exactly what I went through when I quit my pill addiction. Those withdrawals were the hardest thing I ever had to deal with.
For real bro. Hardest struggle of my life
Unfortunately I fell for the "if you want to get off of those take these" now the withdrawals are worse then the original addiction...... Pray for me y'all
Many blessings to you

Great song rundown once again! Thank you for sharing, and hat's off to you two for pushing through your emotional reactions to still give a heartwarming, objective analysis on the song and more so, the really challenging topic of people's struggle with depression or suicide. 🙏
I just actually lost a cousin to his entire body shutting down from alchohol abuse a few days ago. It's been a while that I have been struggling to go a day without a drink and after my cousin's passing I've been knowing it's a sign that I need to quit, and this song is dropping at like the perfect time for me, this is the perfect example of how Tom's music is that light that he is trying to share uplift and inspire others to be their best. I am so sorry for your loss of your friend ❤ Thank you for these reaction videos as well!
The sad thing about medication is, it only helps your symptoms, or makes symptoms worse, or affects other things or organs in your body, sometimes the side effects are worse than the actual disease. There is NO medication that is a cure for any disease. It's sad. Thank you for this reaction and your breakdowns. Thank you Tom MacDonald for being so truthful and putting real meaning in your songs. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank you for the great content you guys create. You should be proud!
It's the little details that make this video so unbearably beautiful. When Tom is in bed, his lil Dggie is right by his side. My lil Chihuahua... he's a real ride or die buddy., been right by my side... 16 months since I was 4 yrs deep into a meth addiction. Luckily I found new friends online. #HOGFAM and #HMACKFAM and even Tom, Harry and all the reactors... love my new friends.
I never knew that... We already have alot in common, but we got even more in common then we thought ... I been an addict too. Not meth but heroin and pills... Almost 15 years clean...
So if you ever wanna talk about anything or just vent. You know where to find me..

My daughter is 21 months sober off a 2 yr meth addiction. She was snorting pills 1st at 16... then went to heroin (snorting) DAILY. I sent her to rehab and she spent her 17th birthday and Mothers day in rehab. Said she would never go to a needle.. and she didn't. But 4 years later, in and out of my house, losing jobs.. OD'd. Went to jail for 3 months over personal caught with less than a gram. Came out clean and sober. Got 2 jobs and was going to meetings. Both jobs was killing her and she was exhausted and one night at the bar she waitressed at
a guy gave her a line to "help keep her awake and give her energy." It was METH. As much as I thought heroin was gonna kill her and the devil... oh no.. meth was WORSE. In only ONE year she went from snorting to shooting it. Was down to 85lbs..was arrested 3 times and in and out of jail (30 days 2 times) and the last time.. she had an ounce she was selling and got busted for "Trafficking". $250,000 bond. Got her out and on an ankle monitor for a year. She hasn't been to court yet due to Covid. That was her wake up
call.. facing 3-7 years now and a felony charge. Lawyer cost $10,000 to take her case. She is 21 months sober, in college and works full time. Back to 135lbs and is in a great relationship with a man who met her when she was strung out and rock bottom but wouldn't date her till she got clean. Well I have my daughter back now and her monitor is off and she's doing so good! I pray the court sees how far she's come since her arrest 2 years ago and the complete change she's made and that they just give her probation. She's worked so hard. 🙏🙏🙏
@@angelicajoy1 Wow . That is amazing.. Im so glad to hear she is clean and out of it.
I used some amfetamin back in the day but wasn't really my thing. Was basically just taking it to not get sick cause i couldn't get heroine or pills. But a couple of times i got methamphetamine instead of just amfetamin and that shit was crazy. I really didn't like it. Didn't give me anything except a whole lot of scratches on my body and my whole face. it ws so itchy. It was so bad i was bleeding. And i got nothing but bad memories from that thankfully. Its a hell of a drug and im glad to hear this story that she got out.
And i can see she got good people around her and thats really good. It looks like she has gone through the worst of it. The first year is always hard. But it never really completely stops cause addiction never stops. Its always on your mind. I been clean for years and still think about it. But im never going back. And it seems like she been through some stuff that make her not wanna go back too. And with a new boyfriend, job and new surroundings it looks like she is on the right track. And im really glad to hear that..
I'll be 🤞🏻 and 🙏🏻 for her and im sure that the judges are gonna see thst she is doing well now and just give her probation...
@@angelicajoy1 every single day you wake up might be the day you relapse. Has hard as it is to keep that in the back of your mind you have to do it. Every day you stay clean it becomes a lil easier to see drugs for what they are A VERY BAD IDEA. Everyday sober t becomes a lil easier to rationally asses the pros and cons of doing drugs again. And of course when viewed logically drugs are suck a stupid idea, so, dangerous, so coastally, so deadly, it becomes easier and easier to stay clean. I really hope she and I and everyone struggling can remain sober.
Damn! I need more Asia singing! That was a sweet opener!
When I listened to this I choked up and I've gone through nothing like what Tom or other addicts have. Tom's gift is painting a musical picture that everyone can appreciate, then Nova puts a visual on top of the music and fully fleshes out the art.
I KNOW THIS COMMENT IS LONG BUT PLEASE READ IT Asia & BJ!!! I hope yall see this comment. I am the guy who commented on your live feed a while back and said thank you for making such cool content because I live in chronic pain and your channel helps distract me from it. I had to comment because of something Asia said about drs giving out meds. That is a huge misconception. When it comes to Opiates, Pain meds, doctors don't just give them out anymore. It is extremely hard to actually get those meds now. Patients have to jump through dozens of hoops to get help. Things like seeing a psychiatrist, do physicaltherapy, be randomly drug tested, do acupuncture and other things. The DEA has been going after pain management drs and finding any reason to strip their medical license so drs don't give them out anymore. Even to people like me who have diagnosed conditions. See I have a condition that goes by Severe endstage lateral bilateral degenerative arthrophy and severe endsatage aseptic necrosis with Femoral head collapse. This mean my femoral heads, hip bones, are dead and have been crushed. I walk around on broken hips. Ive had 6 drs ask me how I am even able to walk but I dont know how. My point is I have real medical conditions that are extremely painful and even I can't get meds and I have no history of drug abuse. On the news I saw a report of how opiate overdoses have gone up 30% in the last year. The question is why. See when people like me go to their dr and can't get the meds they need we have no choice but to turn to drugs off the street. These drugs are laced with other things like fentanyl. That is why so many people are overdosing. Its not the drs. Its the DEA and Medical Boards fault because they punish drs who are trying to help patients like me. Patients should never have to turn to the illegal drug market so that they can even get out of bed. Opiate hysteria has taken over our country and most people think its the drs that are causing the overdoses but in reality it is the lack of medication availability that is causing patientsto die from street drugs.
I hate to hear you are going through that and i understand. There are people abusing and it is a problem but there is also a huge pain epidemic going on too. Patients unable to get their pain under control (for some of us, there isnt a cure for what we are dealing with medically) have and still do commit suicide because they cant withstand the pain anymore. I hope you can find a doctor to help you soon and hang in there. There are people who understand out in this world. Much love. ❤❤
Awesome reaction to this you two! I’m with you Asia, this one was emotional. It is hard to see someone you care about struggling and because Tom is so open with his fans, I believe it makes us care for him more than fans of most other artists. Also wanted to say that you have such a beautiful voice Asia. I subbed to your Im Just Asia and checked out your music video. It is great. And thank you Asia, I needed that “I love you” today! ❤️ #HOG
I used to use alcohol and drugs to cope with my mental issues, it only led to psych wards and hospitals. Alcohol and drugs never helped one bit. I went to detox July 25, 2020. Best decision ever. Keep on moving forward to those who need it.

This song and video is how I feel everyday. I ended up moving out of the county I've lived in most my life to get away from all the garbage. Told my friends I needed a break from everyone one to work on myself. The real ones understood and are still my friend's. The others don't exist to me

a true artist can show his soul this is like seeing a beautiful painting for the first time good vid guys mad love

Tom Exposed his soul on this video just like he exposed his rage on his video "Don't Look Down" I feel your pain Bro. Peace be with you and Nova. May God Almighty Bless the both of you.
So many of Tom’s songs hit it home right in my heart. Always speaking truth.
13 years off the bottle, ill never forget the DT's. Before going into detox they made you stay in a homeless shelter for the night. I remember shaking like a leaf, in a room full of gym mats. Just gotta keep the memory...
This song and many of other songs Tom has released will change lives. His pain is our pain, his fight our fight. Week after week he gives us all he has. Great reaction.
You have to love a true musician because the words they pour reach out and grab you by the throat where you feel the burn in you face a suddenly the tears come and then your heart is cleansed!!! You feel exactly what they feel! Or you relate and feel how the feel! That is talent! Michelangelo kind of talent! So much respect!
Hit me up in my feelings too early when it dropped this morning 😭
Asia , love your singing awesome voice, bj, really seems down to earth ... guess you have another sub. Much love
Oh and about medication, just remember it's more profitable to treat than to cure. That's the sad truth about most things in Healthcare
This song brought tears to my eyes. Thought I had heard it enough to be okay but as soon as Asia teared up I lost it. 😢🤧😢🤧. This is the deepest Tom has gotten.
#HangOverGang
It's a little late but, my dad (who I saw as a Superman) told me when he saw me crying and I apologized said, "What are you apologizing for? You've seen me cry, am I not a man?" I assured him he's a real man and he responded, "Real men cry. Don't let anyone tell you any different." That was solid advice. I didn't even feel bad for crying when he eventually died. I carry it with me to this day.
He really put it all out there! I've not personally been through this, but recently lost a military buddy of mine due to an OD. This one hit hard!! Great reaction.
You just gained a new subscriber… this is the realest & most raw reaction video I have ever seen! Kudos & mad respect
This one hit me so hard on a very personal level. Love you guys.
Asia you have such a beautiful soul!!! Just be you girl, be emotional, I felt the exact same way!
If it helps one person to make a call or to reach out. Then it was all worth it for Tom to speak his truths. 🙏
#Hangovergang 4Life
Honestly my fave reaction by yall to date. Its always a great reaction but yeah this one..the best. I've been free of a heavy addiction since 2004. It about killed me, seriously. And this song, wow! It touched me deeply. I was in this place he talks about. Im good now. I can go days, weeks and even months without a thought about the drug. Some days the old pull calls out to me. I can say id never go back. That I know without any doubt. Thanks for this reaction. Peace, love and good vibes yall!
Right! As an addict 7 yrs off the opiates last week, this shit is a fight for the rest of my life!!! For 2 ppl like y’all that ain’t addicts, ur reaction to what the fight is like hit the nail on the head! I’ve never met or spoken to a non addict that understood what it was like more than ur reaction just was. Kudos to y’all God Bless
This song hit me so hard when it came out. So glad y’all shined a light on this song. I think it’s crazy important.
Keep singing Miss Asia, my 7 yr old granddaughter loves your voice. Thank you for inspiring her!
I was a drug addict for years then added alchol. Became an alcoholic and quit the drugs. My drinking just kept getting worse and worse. Then 3 years ago suffered cardiac arrest and was down for 37 min. Cpr the whole time shocked 4 times. Doctors expected me to be dead by morning and im still here. I love how he uses his addictions and storys to make songs. He really puts him self out there.
Addiction doesn't go away. You just control it. That's what's sad. If the meds had never been given to you then you never would know that feeling. The withdrawal experience will keep you away in many cases. Not to mention the damage to relationships. Gotta love that Tom has the courage to bring stuff up so others can benefit. Great reaction y'all!
I have mad respect for you. I didn't battle drug addiction, but I battled alcohol. I grew up with a horrible childhood myself. I joined the Army, and my alcohol addiction took off from there. It got worse in my early adulthood, and my life spiraled out of control, when I went to Iraq in 2003. I did, however, got kicked out for pot and alcohol, but I was able to rejoin the Army, four and a half years later. That wouldn't have happened, until my wife told me she was pregnant with my first child. I quit cold turkey. Now, I'm law enforcement, rejoined the Army, graduated from college (twice), and ready to retire from the military. I feel the pain.
great song really... love the part he says iv had too much fun its over now... i can relate to that..
Snowflakes 4 weeks ago, Don't Look Down 2 weeks ago and now Withdrawals this week. 3 in 6 weeks....Awesome. This one brings back many memories when I got clean 14 years ago
#HOG4LIFE cried my ass off. To real.
been sober 16 years now but this still hits
I have listened to this song at least 100 times today and the line that keeps stopping me is "I deleted all the numbers in my phone". When I gave up all of my vices I had to remove all those people from my life that I knew would lead me back down the road of distructuction to save myself. #HOG4LIFE
Not too long ago my 18 year old told me that she doesn't want to take medicine for her anxiety and depression because she doesn't want to be numb, she just wants to be happy. I was mixed with happiness at her maturity in seeing that the medicine does that but also I felt sadness that she is feeling that bad. I support her 100% in figuring out what she needs to do.
Such a great review you two! The best one ever imo.
Also, for those on depression and anxiety percscriptions or feel they need them, they do have a few that don't have dependency side effects. Gotta be pro active and help each other navigate. ❤
Such a powerful song! Thank you guys for your reaction!
It feels like with Tom's music he's on this journey. The haters keep trying to hold him back so he has to stop to push them away, which allows him to make progress with his life with stuff like this. The thing about addicts is it's not about the particular substance. It's a state of mind. Anyone who's gone through it will tell you it's ongoing, not just a part of their past. Tom's been channeling it into his music over the past couple years. He may not be throwing up anymore but the Hangover(Gang) always shows up for him.
Tom is a gift to the world. Real, meets Poetry, meets Music.
Asia your absolute gorgeous smoke show ! Bj your lucky ! Love your take on tom can see and feel the emotions you guys have ! Everyone pretty much lost loved ones to addiction its a hard video to not cry to ! God bless
Haters can't hate on this one. It's kind of an anthem for others going through the same thing. Great reaction y'all!!

No matter how many times I here this song I get those chills. The emotions in this song are on point. 10 years clean this go around I was clean before relapsed now it's been 10 years Crack free
This really made me cry like a baby. I never did drugs or anything like that but it just hits me hard. 😔 and every time I’m listening to this music I cry.
This is one of my favourite music from Tom. We have to appreciate his work and everything because he is a person too he can be to most lowest point sometimes. Life is hard for all is a sacrifice that never stops, you have always to fight to be strong like you never been before and yea I know it’s hard I have been to my lowest point and I am still sometimes those days even that I don’t do drugs or drunk. Only limit is you. Life offers so many doors but it’s up to you which door to open. I love Tom and that is why he is my favourite artist. And I hope everyone is doing good and we are here for you. Everybody is here for everybody.
Glad I'm starting work a little later than usual so I could catch this. Great reaction. Tom never disappoints.
He never does!! This one is definitely one to touch beneath the surface and he did exactly that! Thanks Jim! ❤️
I've suffered from addiction for many years and have bipolar disorder anxiety disorder PTSD been clean for 3.yrs now praise God and in regular therapy I haven't felt a song this real in so long all facts but it's possible to get better
