I honestly just go to toms videos to read his fans comments.. you guys have all collectively helped me stay alive to this fucking day . Thank you all so much you will never understand how a few kind words help sometimes. Love and Respect.
This is bills girl Shelley. Not bill. How ya doing? Love yourself, find out why you don't and know you are worth loving . drugs/ alcohol are only a bandage for the pain heal the pain, removes the bandage. Have a great day!
This shit hits so hard. Respect to y’all tellin your stories. We are all here listening, relating, and realizing your genius. Thank you for inspiring me and people like me to keep going. ✊🏽
I can't fully relate to this song. He inspires me so much to keep going and don't look back at everything I've left behind. Thank you so so much Tom!!!!!
Long post.... please read and then listen to this song.... I heard this song for the first time today and my eyes flooded with tears because it really hit home when I was reminded of ALL that I had overcome. YOU CAN BEAT ADDICTION!!!! It's a battle.... but it IS a battle you can WIN. THIS LYRIC..... 'After I cheated on people I needed and lied trying to hide the guy that I was..... then I got sober.... the madness was over.... now I'm proud of the man I've become.....' THIS IS HOW I WON most of the battles...I say most because 'this is a war you'll fight forever....' but these are the keys to winning those battles IMHO. 1) Seek out and find God..... He is there and no matter what you have done in life.... He is always there waiting patiently for you to come to the end of yourself so that He can give you the life that you own your own couldn't give to yourself. When I was making the changes....I said to myself and to God....'God....a million times I have tried and done it my way.... and a million times....I have failed. Ima give Your way a shot.....I know Your way is better....I get that..... but I've never really given You a chance to die me..... and I want my life to be better.... not just for me..... but for those family and friends who love me.... I'm tired of suffering.... and I know they are mentally suffering from my addictions too. So..... I'm ready God.' Lyric from song... 'I'm finally someone I know again.....I stated climbing of the the hole I was in....fighting demons and I know I'll win.... it's time for me to mend these broken wings.....' 2) Lose all the phone numbers and the friends and people you were hanging with who are STILL going down that road. The road of chaos and destruction..... the road that leads to mental and physical sickness and abuse that also breaks the hearts of friends and family that love you but feel helpless. But don't just cut those friends off.... PRAY for them too!! Just because you cut them off doesnt mean that they are horrible and terrible people..... it simply means that you are getn out of the game and you don't need ANYTHING that that causes you to remember the old life that you're trying to get away from. 3)That also means staying out of bars and places that remind you of the times you were getting high that brings back the memories. All it takes is one loose thought..... one visit for old times sake.... it can lead you BACK to the road that was killing you and your family and everything you loved and should love. I was watching an episode of COPs..... the officers were arresting a dude for possesion of meth.They were going through the process and the man being arrested said... 'man....I been sober for 3 years....' The officer was kinda stunned and said.... '3 years?? Dude....what happened?.....' The man replied..... 'I went back to the old neighborhood and was hanging out with the old crew I used to run with..... now I'm going back to jail.....' The officer genuinely felt bad for the guy but said.... 'well.... you get to start over today my friend.... sobriety is something worth having and fighting for.....' You see... the devil knows all the little tricks..... and you have to be intentional and aware in every situation..... you let your guard down and BAM..... you are back to the addiction.....as Tom says in the song.... 'This is a war that I'll fight forever.....' 4) You are NEVER more than one thought away of becoming sober. Once you start the journey of getting sober....you WILL find that life is just as much fun sober as it was when you were getting high. And as more time goes by being sober..... you will SEE and KNOW that life is WAYYYYYYY more fun sober than the fun you thought you were having while addicted. Not only more fun.... but waking up in the morning sober is truly awesome.... you have no terrible feelings of you telling yourself.... why did I do that and why can't I stop it....i hope they aint mad at me..... or.... I'm better off dead. That stuff is real and depression from all the guilt and negativity in your mind is on the way if it's not already there. But being sober....you just wake up ready to tackle the day with energy you thought you'd never have again. You will still face problems..... that's just life. But when you're sober.... you only have to deal with that specific problem in front of you.... you don't have to deal with the problem AND your addiction..... There was a coach at Northwestern....Gary something.... don't remember his last name but he was being interviewed because traditionally Northwestern was not a contender for the BigTen title.... let alone a National title. He was going up against Big Ten powerhouse Nebraska.....Both were undefeated..... the interviewer asked.... 'Coach..... what do you think gives you the best chances of beating Nebraska?' The coach replied... and he was a dry don't care about being on TV kinda coach like our Coach Holley..... but he said.... 'Eliminate mistakes.....if you eliminate your mistakes on the field....you only have play one team...' So be sober.... and only fight the problem in front of you instead of fighting the problem of your addiction and the other problem. If you eliminate YOUR mistake of addiction..... you only have to fight the problems that everyday life hands you. Being sober is beautiful..... yeah you still deal with the worlds crap.... but at least you're not creating new regrets that you will have to live with. You will be battle tested.....but be battle READY! Just remember..... you have to be intentional with your sobriety every.... single....moment.... there's no saying.... 'I've beat it.....I can hit cruise control now and be just fine....' That.... my friends.... is a big fat lie. Don't let your guard down..... remember..... the devil knows ALL the little tricks.... and he is just waiting for you to get comfortable. After all.... his primary goal is to defeat, kill and destroy the family unit.... by using all or just one family member. Be courageous.....I had a father figure tell me once..... 'It takes a heckuva man to do drugs..... but it takes a HELLUVA man to quit drugs.....' It's a battle.... one that will last a lifetime..... but..... this is how I got sober..... and I hope it helps someone else overcome addiction. Too much is lost because of addiction.... bounce back from it.....YOU CAN BEAT ADDICTION!!!! Love to you all.... and heres another Lyric from this song that really hit hard.... but it IS so true and uplifting that I have to share it..... 'When you fall down and the world's closing in....... you CAN get up again.... up again.....' I hope yall listen to the song.... it is positive and gives hope to any and everyone......
I screenshot your message to keep with me. Wow…. I feel like God used you to speak to me this morning. Thank you for taking the time to lay that out there.
Started smoking weed at 8. 10 years later it was coke and meth im 34 years old going on 2 years sober. After almost losing a leg to a chainsaw I was smoking a bubble all the way to the hospital. After leaving the E.R. I met the most wonderful lady that gave me hope I haven't smoked meth since I went to the e.r. that day. Quit cold turkey never thought that would have been possible. You just have to have the well to change I'm working a fast food job now doesn't seem like much but it means the world to me.. thank to everyone who gave me a chance in life
Everyone, please remember that you are loved, appreciated, valid, important and never alone. You are loved beyond belief but you just don’t know it. Everyone is an amazing and beautiful human being. I’m so proud of every single one of you.❤❤❤
hope you made it to a year, as your comment was a year ago; if you didn't make it a year, and you see this comment, know it isn't too late to start now. I'm here for you, even as a complete stranger. I am coming up on 7 years clean and if I can do it, I know anyone can. Just always keep fighting.
Haven't had a song make me cry in ages lost my younger bro three years ago to drugs and still fighting my own demons thank you Tom for the gospel of your life mad respect !!!
thanks for this.I watch as my daughter falls apart making the mistakes many of us make. it's hard I want to save her,but I kow that she has to want help . before she accepts help and I can't force her to stop the things she is doing I can only hope and pray that she will choose a better way.
I’m 48 and losing a brother 45 to meth. I was there 15 years ago, homeless, lost, dirty, mind phucked. There is another way, one way, the truth, the light and life. Hard to cut someone off, I pray he comes around too …
Been clean off cocaine and percocets for 2 months. Use to listen to this in my dark times and cry to be sober. I feel great and shit is just going to get better
Been 1yr sober feels great fought my demons and won I can get the things i lost back and live the best life I can with my family... Im having a baby he's due date is September 6 can't wait hope everyone can have a great recovery
5 years sober and tom and nova have helped me more then they will ever know and more then I can ever thank them for but I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart if it weren't for you guys I would be alive your lyrics have pulled me out of some very dark places
Reminds me of my son and his struggle for many years. It breaks my heart that addiction exists. There is a way out, I'm thankful my son found it! Love you son!
This song gets me every time I hear it it makes me think of the times I regret but if it wasn’t the mistakes I’ve made I wouldn’t have found myself and know who I really am and I’m proud of it. You gotta walk through hell to get to heaven.
I just lost a battle today. I keep making bad decisions over and over again. It’s hard when you’re just trying to cope with the pain but keep making it worse for yourself. It’s an endless cycle that only gets worse over time. I need to do better cuz I can’t keep living this way. I don’t see it ending so well otherwise
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it because it makes me think of my dad. He was an alcoholic since I could remember drinking every day loosing jobs using all the money on alcohol and being in and out of jail and he was never really there for me and then he got sober he's been sober for I think 2 years now and my dad listens to this song all the time and I never took the time to listen to the lyrics until a few days ago and the lyrics made me realize that is was the addiction that was controlling him and making decisions for him and sometimes I wonder if he feels how tom does and I always thought he never cared about my sister and I but I'm starting to realize the alcohol and some of the other drugs were just controlling him
Aye thank Tom any mad for this track, woke me the fuck up, put me on the right path, Tom saving peeps and not knowing, keep this real shit coming, you’re Saving lives
Shout out to the people like me who didn't think there was anything to live for if they got sober. We get better one day a time. Jan 27, 2016 was the start of the rest of my life
If it wasn't for my wife and my parents and my grandparents, I would probably be dead or in prison (like my father) right now. My drinking started out as just a way to decompress after work, but it didn't take long before I started to rely on it for everything...family gatherings, my dog being put down because of his condition, working with the public...any reason I could find. Ive been sober since the end of May 2021. Almost a year after I wound up in the hospital for half a week to detox. That first year was so hard, especially since I quit my job to go work at a new one, but I wasnt able to start that new job due to my drinking getting the better of me and landing me in the hospital. Now I'm at a job that I love, I like the people I'm around, and they all know that I won't be hanging out to have a beer after work. And theyre understanding of my struggles. But mt wife...i dont deserve her. She put up with it for multiple years after we moved in together. Took me to the e.r. multiple times when I was having panic attacks from my alcoholism. I wish there was a way I could make all that time up to her, but for now the best thing I can do is stay sober, and take any curveball life throws at us in stride with her. She's been my best friend for over a decade and I hate to think where I would be without her.
Been six months clean no more alcohol feel like when I listen to Tom he helps me keep pushing threw even when times get hard just play his music and it reminds me imma worth it
Oh ay oh ay ohhh 😭 life has been hard I know it gets better this is the war I'll fight FOREVER 😭❤❤ Lost my dad to a meth overdose 2 yrs ago on Thanksgiving day and August 2021 my brother got sentenced to 15 yrs for meth distribution .. I've lost everything to this crap time and time again. Life is hard and so are relapses.. but I know what I truly want and it's to be sober . Everytime I relapse I start to hate it more and more being miserable and lost is not how I'm going out ❤ thanks for this song it hits really hard for me man
I dedicate this song to my younger bro he's just 19 years old this February ,,and we are still fighting for him to quit😢😢💔💔 ,,we as elders, we are trying our best in order to safe him but 💔 I don't know, what will happen next 😢😢
Man this song hit hard because I’ve been thru 90% of this. I made it thru it all after I almost offed myself. If you’re reading this, don’t end your story early, live to tell people how strong you were baby. It gets better I promise you
Man this song always gets me, I started using meth when I was 14 and heroin soon after. My dad went into a coma so I did all I could to escape who would’ve guessed I’d spend 8 years in that place, if your using all I gotta say is use clean needles, don’t start shooting pills or get a filter unless you want collapsed veins and abscesses and there’s ALWAYS people who care about you and want you to succeed.
Found out today of the passing of a brother of mine. Makes you realize how fast things can go from being "fun" to a life of regret real quick. Don't turn on your addict friends because when you go to turn back around they may not be there.
I was a coke head and the mental state of coming off that was hard enough bit I got thru it. I've popped/snorted/shot everything under the sun into my veins and I loved uppers so much I hadda come down at some point and got addicted to D.Just in like an hour away I'll be 6 days clean.!!! Been doin this shit since I was 14... all sorts of drugs I'm now 25 and I'm actually letting go. No more shooting, no more scars, and I can make myself into something now. I thank the Lord for keeping me alive as far as I have been. Never thought I'd make it to 20yrs old. Now it's 5 years later I'm still alive and it all hit me to grow tf up.! Best wishes to all u new sobrietyers. Don't count the days, make the day count.!
This is me and my son Austin I didn't show him the beauty of the world because I was an addict and so sailfish I taught him all the ends and outs of the game now we are sober for 2 months life is so great GOD is good
This song hurt me but its the realest truth out there I'm 10 months sober from my addictions just wish my sister can fight her addiction she will eventually fight it when she wants too just sad to see her in the addiction shes in
This is really good! Great words, good beat and background vocal mix. I love it. Addiction is hard to break, but can be done. Never thought I'd have a problem abstaining if I wanted too. The Ex was right. I'm not Johnny hardcore alchy, but drink too much for my liking. How I ended up with this habit... took years to progress but now it's got its talons in me. I'm winning though. 7 years of trying and it's finally paying off. From a typical 5 drinks per day (sometimes 15, rare occasions for a few months 20) to 2 or 3 in the last few weeks. Today is day one of (trying) to go totally sober, after stepping it down over the last month or so. Sober feels SO MUCH BETTER. WTF was I doing wasting my life on this crap? Live and learn! Upward and onward! Thank God for his help. I didn't think I needed it, turns out I was wrong about that too. LOL
I'm struggling on so many things right now I don't know how to find the light at the end of the tunnel but I know this song and a select few of others are hitting hard right now, helping me continue trying, continue on without giving up or trying
Spent 10 years addicted to oxy, every days a battle to stay sober. It’s hard not being able to take any pain killers because I will slip quicker than that cocaine drip. This song has really helped me over the past few months
3.5 mos off fent it's a real miracle to wake up and not poison oneself and be able to live life outside that box. I've lost one friend in the past month, you can live life many ways but to be chasing your isn't living at all. Counting the hours and all for pain that we never let out so we numb. Until we become the reason we want to get clean and not for externals we would never achieve it.
I remember, when I was 11-12 my mom who was an alcoholic, she would always blast this song and I would always think “I would never relate to this, I will be clean and healthy no matter what.” Now I’m 15 and I was a heavy marijuana addict and I’m proud to be sober again 🩷
This is real!!!!!! I can relate to what you're saying Tom. Wow it really feels like you're in my head. It hittttttted me.... Yeeeeeeeee stand strong for the people who are fighting this addiction battle. 🤘😀
Life does get better! I’ll be praying for you because I can just tell you’ve been through so much and the only cure is God. He loves you so much and I hope you find him because when I did my life was filled with peace ❤️
Two everyone thay has been impacted in anyway from the demons of addiction you can win the fight just never give up the more you fight the harder it gets then one day you see the chance or the devil shows his self and you tell him no you realize then and there your a fighter and you are winning SOBER is a new life style
Man alcohol has got me good, I have four kids and every morning I wake up I think what station to get my whiskey from after work. Wish I could get help but nothing seems to work. I work hard and provide for my family but I’m getting tired and I’m only 35. I see me going down hill faster now. How did you climb out the hole?
Tom I have to say THANK YOU for helping me to not Kill myself for failing 😭I forgot to get UP AGAIN, UP AGAIN, UP AGAIN. Funny when in L D classes for remembering things it's a 3 x rule. If you say it 3 x's in a row you are supposed to remember it. So now I can never forget it. You are so very wonderful 😘. I'm a follower and tell others about you quite often.
I'm working on 4 years. Sobriety date 4/24. I got divorced and moved into an apartment and the address is 4/24. God's still has favor through trials if you don't give in! 💯🙏💋

There is so much brutal honesty in this song. You couldn't write these lyrics unless you've lived it.

It's a constant battle, I win some I lose some, but I'm winning more and more every day. This song hits.
💯 Then I got sober, the madness was over.
That part!
Addiction can be beaten but it's a fight you will face every single day. Thank you

if this is what the future of rap music is .... im so fucking happy. tell your story. were listening.
Amen. Thank you
This song gets me every time I hear it it makes me think of the times I regret but if it wasn’t the mistakes I’ve made I wouldn’t have found myself and know who I really am and I’m proud of it. You gotta walk through hell to get to heaven.
I just lost a battle today. I keep making bad decisions over and over again. It’s hard when you’re just trying to cope with the pain but keep making it worse for yourself. It’s an endless cycle that only gets worse over time. I need to do better cuz I can’t keep living this way. I don’t see it ending so well otherwise
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it because it makes me think of my dad. He was an alcoholic since I could remember drinking every day loosing jobs using all the money on alcohol and being in and out of jail and he was never really there for me and then he got sober he's been sober for I think 2 years now and my dad listens to this song all the time and I never took the time to listen to the lyrics until a few days ago and the lyrics made me realize that is was the addiction that was controlling him and making decisions for him and sometimes I wonder if he feels how tom does and I always thought he never cared about my sister and I but I'm starting to realize the alcohol and some of the other drugs were just controlling him
Aye thank Tom any mad for this track, woke me the fuck up, put me on the right path, Tom saving peeps and not knowing, keep this real shit coming, you’re Saving lives
Shout out to the people like me who didn't think there was anything to live for if they got sober. We get better one day a time. Jan 27, 2016 was the start of the rest of my life
It's hard being sober but I have been doing it over eight years it will be nine this year and I can still relate to this song
Good
This song smacks of both pain and hope, Loss and truly finding one's way out... I need to get clean...
God is finally giving me a stable life without drugs and alcohol a new life praised be jesus and Mary
3 years sober...Never looking back.
Love your honesty
Beautiful.... when I lost it all and I never surrendered. Thank you friends for putting it into such a beautiful way
Keep fighting yall,got 5 years clean on Wednesday. Being sober in this wack ass world is hard work. Keep Grinding on
This song gives energy to the spirit and supports to stay sober ❤
If it wasn't for my wife and my parents and my grandparents, I would probably be dead or in prison (like my father) right now. My drinking started out as just a way to decompress after work, but it didn't take long before I started to rely on it for everything...family gatherings, my dog being put down because of his condition, working with the public...any reason I could find.
Ive been sober since the end of May 2021. Almost a year after I wound up in the hospital for half a week to detox. That first year was so hard, especially since I quit my job to go work at a new one, but I wasnt able to start that new job due to my drinking getting the better of me and landing me in the hospital.
Now I'm at a job that I love, I like the people I'm around, and they all know that I won't be hanging out to have a beer after work. And theyre understanding of my struggles.
But mt wife...i dont deserve her. She put up with it for multiple years after we moved in together. Took me to the e.r. multiple times when I was having panic attacks from my alcoholism. I wish there was a way I could make all that time up to her, but for now the best thing I can do is stay sober, and take any curveball life throws at us in stride with her. She's been my best friend for over a decade and I hate to think where I would be without her.
The story's hit you hard af.👌
Been six months clean no more alcohol feel like when I listen to Tom he helps me keep pushing threw even when times get hard just play his music and it reminds me imma worth it
Oh ay oh ay ohhh 😭 life has been hard I know it gets better this is the war I'll fight FOREVER 😭❤❤
Lost my dad to a meth overdose 2 yrs ago on Thanksgiving day and August 2021 my brother got sentenced to 15 yrs for meth distribution .. I've lost everything to this crap time and time again. Life is hard and so are relapses.. but I know what I truly want and it's to be sober . Everytime I relapse I start to hate it more and more being miserable and lost is not how I'm going out ❤ thanks for this song it hits really hard for me man
I dedicate this song to my younger bro he's just 19 years old this February ,,and we are still fighting for him to quit😢😢💔💔 ,,we as elders, we are trying our best in order to safe him but 💔 I don't know, what will happen next 😢😢
I have my scars I'll always remember that shit just hits home every time
This so sooo 🔥 ❤❤❤
7 years sober ❤ music like this saved me.
Sober from alcohol for 30 days. Checked myself into rehab and it was the best decision I ever made.
damn this gives me goosebumps, ohh that hook's lit😨
Man this song hit hard because I’ve been thru 90% of this. I made it thru it all after I almost offed myself. If you’re reading this, don’t end your story early, live to tell people how strong you were baby. It gets better I promise you
Man this song always gets me, I started using meth when I was 14 and heroin soon after. My dad went into a coma so I did all I could to escape who would’ve guessed I’d spend 8 years in that place, if your using all I gotta say is use clean needles, don’t start shooting pills or get a filter unless you want collapsed veins and abscesses and there’s ALWAYS people who care about you and want you to succeed.
Thank you so much Tom for this song 😭
I was crying .. I'm so blessed to have found you
Found out today of the passing of a brother of mine. Makes you realize how fast things can go from being "fun" to a life of regret real quick.
Don't turn on your addict friends because when you go to turn back around they may not be there.
I was a coke head and the mental state of coming off that was hard enough bit I got thru it. I've popped/snorted/shot everything under the sun into my veins and I loved uppers so much I hadda come down at some point and got addicted to D.Just in like an hour away I'll be 6 days clean.!!! Been doin this shit since I was 14... all sorts of drugs I'm now 25 and I'm actually letting go. No more shooting, no more scars, and I can make myself into something now. I thank the Lord for keeping me alive as far as I have been. Never thought I'd make it to 20yrs old. Now it's 5 years later I'm still alive and it all hit me to grow tf up.! Best wishes to all u new sobrietyers. Don't count the days, make the day count.!
I always come back to this song, always gives me strength bro these lyrics are potent
I listen to this song once a day. Keeps me motivated
Snap
This is me and my son Austin I didn't show him the beauty of the world because I was an addict and so sailfish I taught him all the ends and outs of the game now we are sober for 2 months life is so great GOD is good
This song hurt me but its the realest truth out there I'm 10 months sober from my addictions just wish my sister can fight her addiction she will eventually fight it when she wants too just sad to see her in the addiction shes in
Your music makes me glad I'm pushing myself to be a better person
I was a meth addict from 14 to 19, I'm 23 now, getting my life back on track slowly, this song hits home.
I cry when I hear this song
This is really good! Great words, good beat and background vocal mix. I love it.
Addiction is hard to break, but can be done. Never thought I'd have a problem abstaining if I wanted too. The Ex was right.
I'm not Johnny hardcore alchy, but drink too much for my liking. How I ended up with this habit... took years to progress but now it's got its talons in me. I'm winning though. 7 years of trying and it's finally paying off. From a typical 5 drinks per day (sometimes 15, rare occasions for a few months 20) to 2 or 3 in the last few weeks.
Today is day one of (trying) to go totally sober, after stepping it down over the last month or so. Sober feels SO MUCH BETTER. WTF was I doing wasting my life on this crap? Live and learn! Upward and onward! Thank God for his help. I didn't think I needed it, turns out I was wrong about that too. LOL
Very good bruh.
Keep doing your works and you'll become sober sooner.
Best of luck for ya.
Bye
I'm struggling on so many things right now I don't know how to find the light at the end of the tunnel but I know this song and a select few of others are hitting hard right now, helping me continue trying, continue on without giving up or trying
Spent 10 years addicted to oxy, every days a battle to stay sober. It’s hard not being able to take any pain killers because I will slip quicker than that cocaine drip. This song has really helped me over the past few months
3.5 mos off fent it's a real miracle to wake up and not poison oneself and be able to live life outside that box. I've lost one friend in the past month, you can live life many ways but to be chasing your isn't living at all. Counting the hours and all for pain that we never let out so we numb. Until we become the reason we want to get clean and not for externals we would never achieve it.
I remember, when I was 11-12 my mom who was an alcoholic, she would always blast this song and I would always think “I would never relate to this, I will be clean and healthy no matter what.” Now I’m 15 and I was a heavy marijuana addict and I’m proud to be sober again 🩷
Recover loudly ...Mrs.B sojourner recovery 💋
This is real!!!!!! I can relate to what you're saying Tom. Wow it really feels like you're in my head. It hittttttted me.... Yeeeeeeeee stand strong for the people who are fighting this addiction battle. 🤘😀
On the 15th of july i'll be 7 months sober.
Good

Damn this hit hard
Alcohol sucks, 75 days sober today after 9 years of heavy use. If you’re reading this keep going.
That was beautiful!
Two everyone thay has been impacted in anyway from the demons of addiction you can win the fight just never give up the more you fight the harder it gets then one day you see the chance or the devil shows his self and you tell him no you realize then and there your a fighter and you are winning SOBER is a new life style

This song and everytime by madchild and ceekay jones hit hella deep.

My fav song rn
Man alcohol has got me good, I have four kids and every morning I wake up I think what station to get my whiskey from after work. Wish I could get help but nothing seems to work. I work hard and provide for my family but I’m getting tired and I’m only 35. I see me going down hill faster now. How did you climb out the hole?
One step at a time
5 years clean and sober now
i love this
Tom I have to say THANK YOU for helping me to not Kill myself for failing 😭I forgot to get UP AGAIN, UP AGAIN, UP AGAIN. Funny when in L D classes for remembering things it's a 3 x rule. If you say it 3 x's in a row you are supposed to remember it. So now I can never forget it. You are so very wonderful 😘. I'm a follower and tell others about you quite often.
Shit man I know everyone goes through demons but shit this song captures them all. It’s hard to hide the pain, sober or not
Wow l like this song ❤
I'm working on 4 years. Sobriety date 4/24. I got divorced and moved into an apartment and the address is 4/24. God's still has favor through trials if you don't give in! 💯🙏💋
5 months clean and sober today!
I love this song! 😊😁😁
