For the majority of my older two kids life, I was addicted to pills. I didn’t seek them out, I got cancer. They were prescribed… but I turned them into an escape. And in doing so, I escaped my babies lives too. I’ll never be able to give those years back to them, or myself. But bc of brave souls such as you, I can at least try to make amends now. Please never stop sharing your self with the world. You don’t even realize the lives you change. I love you. Thank you.

    My wife almost let alcohol take her away from us. It wasn't pills, but it felt the same either way. This song pulls every one of my emotions out of me, seeing the looks on our kids faces, trying to reassure them that everything would be ok. But damn this song hits hard. Everything did turn out ok, thank god.. we stayed vigilant and didn't give up until we were able to get her the help she needed and she has now been sober without a drop for 3 years.. our life is still getting better as days go on.. Sometimes seeing this video is therapeutic in it's own way.. a reminder of how bad it can get, but I'm here to say that there is still hope that things can change. The other thing ill say is that you can never give up on someone struggling with addiction or alcoholism. They're struggling with something else and the addiction is the indicator. I hope if someone is on the side I was on and isnt sure what to do, they'll read my comment and know that there is hope. Never give up.

      If he did I fully respect him, I’m being honest if this was my mom I could never forgive her as she died doing and buying drugs which the money could be better spent on my well being. Fortunately I’m 17 healthy about to go University from support by the best mother in the world, love from the United Kingdom

      @@r.m7034 what a messed up thing to say, really. I mean, I get what you mean, but don't you understand the gravity of peoples pain? There usually is a reason behind abusing.. Shitty thing to postulate, you couldn't forgive someone for being too weak for their own emotions

      Oliver J. It’s just my own personal opinion bro, that you should sacrifice a lot of things for your kids from small things like cigarettes to big things like drugs so that your child grows healthy and if you can’t you shouldn’t have a child or should send him to a safe environment. I get some people in the world are struggling and find it hard to refrain from these actions but in my opinion if you have a child you should no question, because if you do drugs and struggle that’s fine you can screw your life over but if it’s harming others then there’s a problem.if you disagree with me that’s fine bro and take care

      And you know, it's not like parents who do drugs doesn't want to quit. Have you heard plof physical dependence? Altered brain chemistry? Withdrawals? Shit like that happen, when you do pills and what not. Quitting drugs, isn't just a dance of flowers :-)

Everyone has to go through pain in order understand what happiness truly is. If u don't know pain then u don't know happiness because when u go through shit, u learn to appreciate the good times more.
