As a best mate all i can say i gave space always loved and was happy to have a go to them i trust my bro with my life ill forever back step forward step no matter what be proud of my bro we both did the dumb shit i just had less addictive personality to me ill never have a problem with what he did did it too i just had a better resitence and all i van do now is be a better example and love my best mate for him my partner loves when he comes to visit because its when i get to really be me with no judgement and thats what i guve him too ues better off than me these days and im proud of him my mrs hates that we keep her up all jight talking but loves our friendship
A long time ago I had a cousin in this very predicament he was drinking heavily and doing drugs he and his family came over to my house to hangout and play poker at one point I understood I had to take him aside from everyone and have a heart to heart conversation with him I said brother do me a favor look in the dining room you see everyone in there if you continue down this path you'll hurt not just yourself but everyone there but also think about your mom and siblings and how much it'll effect all them do you remember what the reaction was when everyone heard your brother died imagine how they'll feel if you put them through it again if not then the only choice is to get yourself help he got the help needed and is living happily to this day
I am glad to see you touched on this one, Ray. It needs to be talked about by people who have been there and know it. Those who have pulled themselves from the abyss have a right and a responsibility to preach on it. Much love, bro.
This one hits close to home. Wow. As I have said before loving someone who got caught up in addiction is hard. I remember the conversations. Some turned to hugging it out and others turned to arguing. That's why I say in my experience pointing fingers does not help anyone or the situation. Beautiful song & beautiful reaction Ray 💖💖💖💖 Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on this subject. It may help someone going through it. Much love 💖💜💙💛 & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
I was on the addict side and my friend was killed before I got out of jail and rehab..... I never got to say sorry to him and thank him for whooping my ass. THIS ONE HIT ME.... I thank him in my prayers every morning and night

We’re all from Worcester, MA, where opiate addiction & OD related deaths are super high. Mics an incredibly talented musician/lyricist, who raps about important & sensitive topics, as well.

Personally ive always felt calling it a disease doesn't excuse anything... we still hope if not, expect our friends and family members who suffer from cancer or any other disease to see Dr's, get treatment, and do what they can to get better .... the difference being we give understanding when not every day is a good day, we stick by them, support them, hold their hair when their sick, a cold cloth on their forehead when fevered... if we showed that same level of support; not this whole enabling it and excusing everything bs that's been happening more and more (and as a Canadian believe me I'm all too aware of how incredibly dangerous so called safe sites and supply truly are).. we don't walk away from the women we love whos going through her 3rd round of chemo ... yrs of laying out in the sun having caused a melanoma the size of a small plate attach itself like its the dark shadow of the devil on her sholder... we dont walk away from the grandfather unable to catch his breath long enough to say goodbye as the 70yrs of smoking claim all the other words you will now never get to hear... instead we do everything we can in hopes of gaining whatever time we can... making the best of the days their bad decisions haven't stolen yet... if we showed the same support and consistency towards actually getting better.... the lives we'd safe... the memories we'd gain... the pain we'd alleviate... would be everything Much love and mad respect to all those who haven't given up... hope, strength and love to those still trying to try❤️❤️ I promise no matter which side of the coin your on, the answers to Jelly's question are the same..
Damn. 3 minutes and 26 seconds in and read your comment. That hit close to the bone. I have loved and lost more than one person in my life to addiction. What they tell you on the news (here in America anyway) is not even half of it. It's very one- sided now. You get half truths but never the whole of it. Never all of it. Anyway what you said is very true. It is hard, very hard, to love someone who is addict. Anyone who has that experience knows exactly what I mean when I say the heartbreak you feel is daily. Because you love this person and it hurts to see them hurt themselves the way they are doing. I do know that people turn to certain substances for a multitude of reasons. I don't judge. But having gone through that struggle with someone I love who is now sober (a year in give or take) I have more understanding now and in a way I too had some healing to do. It's a lot to get into. I don't even know how to put it all down because there's layers to it. But I am grateful, deeply grateful, to still have my loved one here on this earth with me. I appreciate what you said because I know there are people that will read it and will be able to relate and know that they are not alone in how they feel or what they think on the matter.
@sammy_the_uncool2702 🫂🙏🫂🙏🫂 I'm sorry for you loses and yet so incredibly happy for you and the friend still here... mad l9ve and respect to you both ... right so right it's not easy on anyone! So happy you're able to find some healing.. these are the messages that give hope 🙏 ❤️
Much love from Sudbury Ontario Canada this song hits close to home got 5 years clean off hard drugs and had these conversations with the ones I love and so thankful they never gave up on me
Beautiful voice is right. So much truth from his heart. Stacy is right. This is powerful. After many attempts to try to "help" my mother I had to finally say goodbye to her. Broke my heart .....she committed suicide a year later. Her memory is always with me.
You can only understand what you've personally gone through... But that does not mean we disregard how the people who are affected by your actions react to your actions... Always 2 sides to a coin.
With much redpect OG he didnt say if u font belive in ur self nobodys going to belive in u. He said if u dont belive in urself u will never belive that someone could ever belive in u.❤❤❤
Vibe, I had no idea about your struggle. We are hit in the head with two perspectives here, but no answers. It's complicated. But I love how you laid out the first steps towards sobriety and what it might look like. No doubt that landed. You're a powerful example of hope. So, thanks for sharing even though you don't like to talk about it. Much love ❤Sue
I think it's because the people that are around u wanting to know what's wrong could also be the cause in the past and u don't want them feeling what you feel or you don't want to argue with a lot of the family for speaking your mind which also causes u not keep quite and it spirals cos the more they try to help the more u feel like u can't speak about it cos they will know what caused the pattern.
Bro your response to this was on point. It took my wife to literally slap some sense in me. When I seen dude stealing his money I immediately seen myself and it broke me. I’m sober now and I never want to go back to those dark days
nobody will know the grips that drugs and alcohol have on so many. i became an alcoholic because it was the only thing that took the panic attacks away. its a struggle every day to stay clean.
I lost my pops to drugs, and honestly he was a good man and a great father but in the end he just couldn't beat his demons. After he passed, I got heavily into many different substances so I decided to make the hard decision and go to rehab in 2017. It was hard, very very hard, nearly lost my life in the process. I'll never forget, and to touch on what you said about "how you will go right back to the normal you without drugs, but it's a process" I vividly remember when I was fully sober for the first time in years. I was talking to another person at the rehab and I had a moment of clarity and said out loud, "I really don't even remember what being sober felt like, to me it still feels foreign and strange" He just looked at me and said, "Look man, you ARE sober, and it's a process, but eventually you will remember how it felt before all the drugs." Here I am today 7 years clean and yeah... Hard to articulate just how this feels now, if you know you know. Anyways man, as always, I love watching your reactions. Always real and feels like when you look off to the side and talk, and as silly as it sounds but it feels like you are talking to me, talking to us. Much love my friend 👊🤍
This track been kicking my a55 since it dropped frfr 🥺 Only track packing as hard of a punch as this one atm... maybe even a little harder is HONESTAV's song I'd Rather Overdose...
they have the financial finality, but not the personal responsibility to marginalize them as people. I've left 4 sister's behind ɓç they judged me, I'm back and healed, but their "legal" crutches sicken me. how is being a functional alcoholic and/or gambler hold court and laud their perfect crrutches over me. 😢😢❤❤😢😢
I love how ray just makes you feel like you at home if that makes sense

Preach!!!
I love that jelly roll is singing this song with this message knowing that he has his battles with addiction
So powerful and your Vibe light is 🔥🔥🔥

It always bugged me whenever I was in treatment and they said addiction is a disease. It’s a choice, I chose to keep going.
Congrats on hitting 100k 🎉❤
As a recovering addict with 6 years clean, i dont consider addiction a disease personally. An illness, sure.
You give me Joey Coco Dias vibes mean this in a great way
