Yes, my friend it is hard, I've recovered from a 30 year addiction to meth amphetamine 3 years clean. Complete makeover of so called friends. No ONE takes care of you like you, let no other define you.YOUVE GOT THIS, MY FRIEND. I'M SENDING HEALING STRENGTH YOUR WAY. GOD BLESS YOU.
everyone scrolling through these comments: i don’t know you or your life. but i do know one thing. eventually it gets better. it’s slow and still hurts like hell sometimes, but one day you will be able to look back see how much you lived through, look at yourself now and see how much you would’ve been missing out on. you are beautiful, worth it and valid. you are here on this earth for a reason. it doesn’t matter if you are religious or not: something brought you to this point of life. all those horrible days you’ve had, you’ve made it through them. you will make it through this one too. there is going to be a day where you are okay. please please please be here for that day. you will get through this. i believe in you.
My love and compassion goes up for u girl, I also lost my child, my oldest daughter and then not even being able to figure out how to live again without her I lost my husband, my love of my life for almost 16 years!! I know God and he knows me! He has sent angels of mercy my way, when I believe with all my heart that I just won't make it through the day/night he sends his love in so many different ways! I have come to believe that he is calling his army home!!! We too shall meet again!!
I've never been an addict but feel this song to the depths of my soul. May God watch over and protect all in need of help and may a great wave of healing come to all..❤
Being an addict for myself is like being possessed with every ounce of your being and watching from the outside in. You continuously remain in the battle of your existence while being torn apart over how you are hurting everyone and destroying the world around you, while not understanding who you are, being lost alone and afraid even when surrounded by people.
Amen sister man! I needed that too!!! I believe and recieve and am ready to strap these boots straps up for God again! And that my health is restored to me I am no longer bound nor bed ridden!!! I pray for the sick and suffering and that strength finds y'all too! I appreciate your love Mrs. Donna!
"And the Cross is someone she has not met, not yet." That's a reference to Jesus. I pray everyone meets Him. We all need His Salvation, Grace, and the comfort that comes with that relationship.
I fight and pray for my son to be delivered from drugs. It's killing my heart to see what he is going through and more so what is doing or going to do to his family that he ask God for. God gave him a wonderful family. Pray pray pray God is our only hope.
Theresa, I feel and understand your desperation. I pray for your son and your family . I was on crack for around 20 years. Had a good job ,kids loving wife. My addiction took it all. .but the very first thing it took from me was my self respect. .some how God saw fit and gave me another Good woman and I spent the 1st 5 years of our marriage putting her through a hell she didn't know existed.i could go on and on with the war stories. .yes you're son is fighting a war between himself. .I've been in 14 rehabs, jail a few times. Rehabs didn't work for me and jail just took more of my soul. No addiction is all the same. .that's one reason why they have such a hard time with successful recovery. Because success in their world is measured in 28 day spans. People ask me now: "how long have you been clean "? And I always respond : just a few moments. I've been with my second wife for 19 years now. .what I'm trying to convey is : God literally sat me on the ground 1 day ( crushed 3 disc in my back ). Lying there I was overcome with a feeling of seeing my mortality. God was saying lay down and die or prepare to pay your Penance. Been paying it ever since. I'm sorry to tell you that your family will never be the same. Your son has to choose to live, ,he has to choose to fight through the doubt that he sees in all of you. He can live but he must take responsibility for his wrongs and fight himself everyday by never forgetting. .Rehab works for some. .some have to use other methods. .addicted to one substance doesn't make you addicted to everything. I wish you all the best. GOOD LUCK, ,stay strong
Stay strong and keep praying. My son had the same problem. He decided one day he wanted to quit .and he just did it. It wasn't easy but I know as a mom, praying is the best thing you can do.
I definitely wish I never judged only to find out for myself after my little brother committed suicide because of his addiction & the territory of rejection. Still blame myself. Nobody knows till they have been there. The world of addiction isn't pleasurable more like miserable.
@@feliciasolano6707not an addict but is the song basically meaning the drugs are calling her. I remember Richard Pryor said drugs called his name all the time. He mentioned how serious it was that you could be heading to the bank and get talked out of it by the drugs to go and get high
I have always thought that this song is also relatable to those struggling with mental illness or close to someone who is struggling. Unfortunately a lot of those souls always feel lost in this life and end up leaving too soon. Sending prayers and love to all of those struggling in anyway.
@@jamesromine8220bp1 is all this song is for me. The struggle is so tough, every day, caring, despite the harm and dispute the distance, and despite the shame. But. Here we are. It will all be ok.
I remember listening to this song in 2018 alot when I was high on meth everyday until I stopped in May of 2018. Man.. I am so Happy to be sober now. All is possible with God.
You may well have saved your life. A woman in her late twenties went back on meth after a half year of my a lot of work to get her off drugs. The day she got into a stranger's car instead of mine, and admitted she had bought meth was the end of our relationship. It is now 4 years later, and I heard she died of sepsis contracted using dirty needles. She was homeless after abandoning the trailer I watched her purchase and co-signed the lot lease for. R.I.P. Anna. Gone at 34, mother of two, at least they are being cared for my family.
My grandmother passed about a year ago, when i was going through her things afterwards i found a notebook with some of her favorite songs, this was first on the list and i forgot to listen to them till today. my grandmother lost her fight in a battle with drugs one that she had been fighting since she was a teenager, i miss her so much to this day it physically hurts right now. Im so sorry to anyone listening to this and struggling, but every single person in recovery is one more fuck you in the face of addiction so please keep trying.
Today is my Mom's birthday. I was learning this tune around the time she passed away so she never got to hear me play it for her. So I'm getting some flowers and loading up the dog and my guitar and we're headed to the cemetery for a one man show for my parents, grandparents, and my brother....But mainly for my Mom because this is her special day and I hope I pass the audition.
evan, I feel for you, but be satisfied with what you got with her, I never got to know my mama, I was little when she died suffering with her 11th baby, I was #9 and made it.
Im in rehab for the 1st timein my life. I've OD so many times its disgusting. 2 weeks ago was last time I'll ever drop again. Im on day 8 and completely miserable. Songs like this keep me motivated. I'm still here for a reason, and God will let me know what it is eventually. Addiction is a horrible disease but I'm not going to get beat by the Devil. God Bless
I never did anything... but my girl has done it all. She’s been an addict since she was 14. Now she is 28. That’s half of her life gone from her addiction. She quit cold turkey a few weeks ago after she found out she is pregnant with my child... she is my rock and I’m always there to support her. I love you Stephanie. I hope you see this comment when you come to this song later down the road. ❤️
Don't know you but my prayers are with you and your family. My daughter got sober for her baby... is still sober . I CAN BE DONE AND CONTINUE TO BE DONE . GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏❤
@@cyndismith5739 it is very hard some days, each day is worth it! stay strong! and know our community is here for us anytime we need them or they need us!
By God's devine Power of Glory,Grace,Love and Mercy I'm a month and 8 or 9 days away of celebrating 1 year clean&Sober.ALL THE GLORY GOES TO OUR LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER.THANK YOU LORD THANK JESUS One Day At A Time One hour at a Time One minute at a Time One second at a Time 🙏 ✝ ❤ ⛪
one of my faves. I am a heroin addict in recovery and this makes me cry every damn time. I've lost 4 good friends scince June to this disease. the overdosed and one committed suicide. please if you can't help an addict don't hurt an addict. Trust we hurt ourselves enough...RIP David, Wally, Dennis, Trish, and Sarah A. you are all greatly missed
***** thank you so much Phyllis for your support, understanding, and the fact you took time to respond rather than scrolling past thinking dumb junkie or something.... GOD bless you! Made my day fur real
Sarah Cadogan I'm praying for you rt now. My twin is a addict same as you Sarah.I'm hoping your ok in this fucked up beautiful world we live in. I hope you're still sober today and living to your fullest.
I lost my sister in law today. She battled addiction in many ways. Jessie was a mother, a daughter, granddaughter, good friend. And so much more. She had a heart of gold. She chose to end her life because along with addiction comes guilt and pain that you cause to the ones you love most. It's never intentional to hurt them. In that moment she felt it was the only way out. The simplest thing you can do is show compassion and just love and except people for that were only human and we all make mistakes. Life is so delicate If you feel someone is hurting or acting different please reach out suicide is real and it's never the answer
@@tamathanelson6879 ,hi Tamatha.I 2 am an addict, I dont knw if yr heard the term "needle fixation", well thts wht I had, I was addicted to heroin first blast wen I was 15years young! I have never overdosed myself,but seen my husband overdose serval times,only 2b hit with narcan frm ambulance paramedics, at a snap of the fingers he was "with it " again asking me wer mine hit was..which was stashed in my sock! Go 2 A&E ,2b discharged 2hours later! Back on street looking 4 more gear! We need a wake up sometimes,cos pleading and blackmailing an addict only turns them in2 a liar as well,I will be a sober addict as will yr son,4 the rest of our lives.sorry u had2 see wht u seen,speaking frm experience we addicts only want 2get high ...not get dead! Full well knowing all the risks,goodluck to you and yr son,may a bright future be yours,xx
This song leaks so many words.. It reminds me of my mother and i could still see her listening and see her passion while she sang this song not only did she battle with addiction but i battled with addiction myself and i knew it was bad cause i seen her and her struggles but i fell in the lifestyle anyway.. So now while i listen to this song i see how much connection i have with this song like she did it not only makes me sad but it also makes me happy cause i have came a long way from where i was and i thank her for watching over me in heaven.. Today is her bday and i just wanted to jam this song for her and i did just that thanks!
Congratulations on ur clean time is adifficult road but also a very rewarding one. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of ur mother. Prayers amd angels will be semt to comfort u. God bless u .........lanna
This song hits home so hard as an addict trying to stay on recovery side of the fence. I won't lie I've faltered more than I care to admit but I hate myself the next day or 2 just because of how much energy it drains. I pray everyday that make the right choices and do my best by my babies. This has always been one of my favorite songs even when I was you naive and didn't know what any kind of 'drug' was....oh to see those days again...only a brief thought as every journey has taught me a lesson and this lesson I'm still learning from but I feel the end of this journey coming and a new one crossing my path. I look forward to the new journey as I know it's only going to better me, or at least my knowledge and add to the lessons learned
We do recover I have been clean and sober for 11 years it gets easier to say no and stay sober Im so proud of people who can beat those demons its a fight worth fighting and its a fight we can win it takes a very strong person to walk away from a life of drugs i never knew how strong I really was until my mother passed november of 2019 and i stayed clean
I lost my 3 yrs son this month 13 yrs ago, this song hits harder now. I've always loved it since i was a child, always felt the depths of this song as a kid.
My father passed away of massive cardiac arrest when I was in school at the age of eight. I'm 47 this year and each year I take my Summer holidays starting on Father's Day. I miss my pop. :)
My best friend was addicted to self harm, its a different kind of addiction, but still a powerful one. She lost her battle with depression on 4/7/2020 at the age of 21. I feel so empty without her, she was like a sister to me for the past 10 years. It feels unreal to not have her here anymore.
My wife lost her battle with alcohol/depression on June 7th 2020. We were married for 13 years. No matter what fight for them even when they don't want you to. She was a great mother and wife. That wound will never heal.
I'm just 14 and don't really know how talk to older people but...I know what having depression and things like that are like so, I really hope you're doing better. I'm really sorry for your loss, and I hope that you know that I'll be here for yah if you need it. 💖
I’m now over 9 months clean and I pray for everybody in these comments and anybody that’s ever struggled or been around substance abuse. Everyday is a new feeling and experience in life. No day is the same.
"She talks to Angels" Has been a song that I related to since i lost my baby son Armand. I lost my mind , pain was there in the waking of the dawn , till I closed my eyes to sleep. I wore, still do wear a cross I never got a locket of my son's hair . I lost my brother this march . didn't think of it till it was too late , to ask for some of his hair . I washed my brother's clothes and found his hair wrapped around some plastic!! Now I will have his hair put in a locket to wear with my cross and his picture. Around my neck . So amazing and mysterious how God works.
I remember listening to this song with my parents. Life was so beautiful in many ways. Now I'm a parent listening to this song with my daughters and feel it in my heart. It takes me way back in time.
these song came out while living in Tampa Fl...great songs! Minnesota is home now... see all of your comments bout losing someone u loved makes me think of my mom too..gone march of this yr.. keep your head up!
Ive lost some good people to overdose. This was a must learn song for me when I started to play guitar, damned if i can get through it without choking up. May God bless & watch over you during your recovery!
My son's dad died of an overdose. Loved this song as a kid . But now I understand the pain . And the realization of the song.. this song was his life. Now it's mine. I pull those shades down tight. And try to give a smile when the pain comes.i. also learning this song on guitar . Chokes us both up!
For all of us that look at the clouds and see the magic the hold. The ones who are misunderstood left out in the cold with the voices that guide them as their only friend. May we all be so lucky to find someone like me......Dedicated to the one I sit next to I pray he realizes what he means to me.
I've known this song for awhile. Never knew the meaning some it gives a different meaning to. To me it hits for sad lonely tired isolated and not loved at all .I just listened to it again after hearing the man Huntly sing it on the voice. so I read the comments I see yours IT MADE ME CRY. BC to me that's what it is exactly to me also my feelings relate ❤ things will get better
This has always been a song I've related to. In all of the ways and reasons it describes. Life is hard and lonely. Theres a smile when the pain comes! !
This song brings me to tears, I lost my beloved husband and father of our 2 amazing boys in Nov.2020 from addiction also. Every day I struggle with the guilt of what I should have done, could have done to save him. WHY GOD WHY HIM??? This year we will be married 23yrs. This song grabs me by my shaking hands and broken soul and reminds me that now I call out his name, MY ANGEL in the heavens. Everyone I spoke to would say it gets easier well whoever's thinks that is delusional. The pain well for me will always hurt just as bad or worse as time goes by.
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Amber. She’s free now, she has peace, no more addiction ♥️. I lost my 23 year old son in February 2017, he too battled with addiction.
Whitechina xo So very sorry for the loss of your daughter 💕. I pray you can recover from your addiction, your daughter would want you to go on a live a wonderful life ♥️. Stay strong
Hang in there. It’s painful. As life is. It will get better. I’m not sure if the pain lessens or we just get more tolerant of it. It does get better. 💕
My mother died as a result of addiction a little over a year ago. Its definatly a hard thing to cope with, this song is one of my favorite to listen to when thinking of her.
I lost my Mother to addiction. My oldest daughter read a book saying it takes three generations to wash away addiction from a family tree, specifically maternal. My grandmother also suffered, her mother gave birth to her daughters on the Choctaw Indian Reservation in Oklahoma.
Congrats to all of you in recovery ...your true inner strength is shining right now ...bask in your moment and shine ...to all of you that has faced loss due to addiction ..keep the memories alive
Amber I'm 11 years clean now sober and I'm so proud of you. It isn't easy but it does get easier when your working your recovery on a daily basis. Keep the good work lady!! I absolutely hear when you say you'd love to Chayce Beckham sing this song. He's the winner....👍😉❤🙏
Scattering my mothers ashes today. She lost the battle of addiction but she is free now and finally has the peace that she could never have in this world. ❤️🙏🏽
Congrats man probably not an easy feat! Shoutout from Canada and best wishes through this covid crap. Stay strong dude you've accomplished what a lot cannot!
Sometimes WE (in ourselves) have/or NEED to walk away from the ones WE LOVE because THEY are our crutch to keep doing what YOU DON'T want to DO in order to heal yourself ...even IF it's BY yourself!
I did not know that this song was out there until the day I found my mom and my best friend passed away on September 8 2017 she was addicted to pain pills for years and she accidentally overdosed and I found her and my world was gone and still is She was and now still is my angel 😇 I love her and miss her so much and I never will be the same again But this song is so beautiful and healing for me every time I listen to it I'm blessed to have had her in my life and I am blessed to have this beautiful message from the song Please don't dismiss the people in your life that are addicted with some kind of poison Love them and stay in their lives so you will be able to say that you have loved them and you are loved and appreciated by them Don't miss out of the time you have with them you will and won't regret it God bless them and God bless you always and forever
God bless 🙏all of you that are in recovery 👍for I myself have been battling this addiction for many yrs. Addiction is a horrible disease. It's a terribly rough ride. God bless & keep all of you safe,clean or not clean.✌️🙏🌹
Preach it Charles. So many people don't have the gutts to say what you just did.Stay strong, With all that is happening in the world I think we will be goin home soon.
@@gingerbroad7888 Hey. I am a Baptist and very far right Republican. I would be scared living in this world and not having the angels God sends to us. I am a handful so their with me all the time. I do talk to angels!!
6 years clean! Never thought it was possible to get off drugs but here I am! I’m a new believer of Christ and dealt with so much trauma and I’m happy being alive now. WE DO RECOVER!
This was one of moms favorite songs. I remember when I was about 11, my mom took me with her to a concert the black crowes were doing. when they played this song, my mom couldn't do anything but cry. she passed 4 years ago today to a nasty cancer battle. I made sure that this song was played at her funernal. even though its not my generation of music, the black crowes are totally one of the greatest bands out there.
It's all life ,high and low.It's hard to be a good driver , but turn arround if ya have to.try hard not to be a setting sun, further on up the road something else could take over, a strong mind is in us all ,we need to find it , especially if your in jail or the grasp of addiction.. the dabbling duck don't always float .
One day at a time, God sees the pain and the willingness each addict commits to in their recovery. 12 years clean; I've been given a new way to live. It wasn't easy the first 2-3 years but I wouldn't have missed a day of it for what I have now.
My mother was addicted to alcohol my entire life, at 44 she chose to fix herself, her liver count was good everything was looking up. She “found god once more” four months into recovery I bring my bf over to meet her. She had moved about and hour and a half out of state. We get there and she’s puking blood, I call 911. Turns out her esophagus tore, pouring blood into her stomach. She lost so much blood before making it to the hospital, I kissed her once before she left on her last ride. Wish I would have said more, told her how proud I was of her. I’m 23, and I lost my mother and best friend on June 6th, 2017, and my life has been changed. Fight your addiction, but don’t wait until it’s too late.
Mothers know when they are loved. She knew. Approving of someone's behavior and love are different and your mum would feel this and I am speaking as a mum. God bless you.
Rip she is an Angel on your shoulders.. Up there dancing with a free soul free from the demons if addiction... I'm battling right now.. I've been through many battles but this gonna be toughest But I no I can do it one last time.. detox here i come. 🇨🇮#2019 my year pls god..
My Grandmother had a Heart Attack yesterday, she survived it though. I won't forget that moment but during this time we thought she was going to die, she played This song, It was her favorite as a teen. Every day, I listen to this to remind me of her greatness as I am a 13-year old.
May God bless and keep all of you recovering from substance abuse. If you tell yourself you can’t overcome this you are lying to yourself. You can do anything you set your mind to, is it easy no but it can be done. God Bless
Speaking as a needle junkie who’s literally 15 days sober this song and yalls comments help here’s to hoping I make it in my recovery bc it’s hard
you be well
You'll be ok, get to a clinic. If you can't do that, CHOCOLATE AND A PILE OF KRATOM
Yes, my friend it is hard, I've recovered from a 30 year addiction to meth amphetamine 3 years clean. Complete makeover of so called friends. No ONE takes care of you like you, let no other define you.YOUVE GOT THIS, MY FRIEND. I'M SENDING HEALING STRENGTH YOUR WAY. GOD BLESS YOU.

Being an addict for myself is like being possessed with every ounce of your being and watching from the outside in. You continuously remain in the battle of your existence while being torn apart over how you are hurting everyone and destroying the world around you, while not understanding who you are, being lost alone and afraid even when surrounded by people.
you'd be way cooler on drugs. try them out
So kind . 😍
Amen sister man! I needed that too!!! I believe and recieve and am ready to strap these boots straps up for God again! And that my health is restored to me I am no longer bound nor bed ridden!!! I pray for the sick and suffering and that strength finds y'all too! I appreciate your love Mrs. Donna!

Pray in Jesus name he is delivered
Literally speaks to the soul of an addict , hits home.. #wedorecover
No doubt! The ones whom have no clue.....hope they never find out.
I definitely wish I never judged only to find out for myself after my little brother committed suicide because of his addiction & the territory of rejection. Still blame myself. Nobody knows till they have been there. The world of addiction isn't pleasurable more like miserable.
Literally what i just said

@@feliciasolano6707not an addict but is the song basically meaning the drugs are calling her. I remember Richard Pryor said drugs called his name all the time. He mentioned how serious it was that you could be heading to the bank and get talked out of it by the drugs to go and get high
Learning this song for me and a dear friend. I love you bud.
I dedicate this song to Leah Nicole Ballard, my sister, who just passed. Memorial service tomorrow. Prayers for her mom
Very sorry for your loss. May sha rest in peace. 🙏
Sending You All Love 💜🫶💜
I have always thought that this song is also relatable to those struggling with mental illness or close to someone who is struggling. Unfortunately a lot of those souls always feel lost in this life and end up leaving too soon. Sending prayers and love to all of those struggling in anyway.
It does 100% I too was adopted but my MOTHER didn't want me. Told me at 7 she hated me.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS. i SUFFER FROM BIPOLAR ONE DISORDER.

@@jamesromine8220bp1 is all this song is for me. The struggle is so tough, every day, caring, despite the harm and dispute the distance, and despite the shame. But. Here we are. It will all be ok.
I remember listening to this song in 2018 alot when I was high on meth everyday until I stopped in May of 2018. Man.. I am so Happy to be sober now. All is possible with God.
No... all is possible with you. Many people remain f'd up... why?.... God doesn't love them? You control your present and future.
You may well have saved your life. A woman in her late twenties went back on meth after a half year of my a lot of work to get her off drugs. The day she got into a stranger's car instead of mine, and admitted she had bought meth was the end of our relationship. It is now 4 years later, and I heard she died of sepsis contracted using dirty needles. She was homeless after abandoning the trailer I watched her purchase and co-signed the lot lease for. R.I.P. Anna. Gone at 34, mother of two, at least they are being cared for my family.
I love this song. I want this played at my funeral. I've been sober since 2008 and I am so grateful to be alive!
My grandmother passed about a year ago, when i was going through her things afterwards i found a notebook with some of her favorite songs, this was first on the list and i forgot to listen to them till today. my grandmother lost her fight in a battle with drugs one that she had been fighting since she was a teenager, i miss her so much to this day it physically hurts right now. Im so sorry to anyone listening to this and struggling, but every single person in recovery is one more fuck you in the face of addiction so please keep trying.
Today is my Mom's birthday. I was learning this tune around the time she passed away so she never got to hear me play it for her. So I'm getting some flowers and loading up the dog and my guitar and we're headed to the cemetery for a one man show for my parents, grandparents, and my brother....But mainly for my Mom because this is her special day and I hope I pass the audition.
evan morrow good luck man, praying for you. ❤
Thank you Alison
Brother or Sister.. in His eyes... you passed. Peace and blessings
😢
evan, I feel for you, but be satisfied with what you got with her, I never got to know my mama, I was little when she died suffering with her 11th baby, I was #9 and made it.
Im in rehab for the 1st timein my life. I've OD so many times its disgusting. 2 weeks ago was last time I'll ever drop again. Im on day 8 and completely miserable. Songs like this keep me motivated. I'm still here for a reason, and God will let me know what it is eventually. Addiction is a horrible disease but I'm not going to get beat by the Devil. God Bless
I went thru Rehab twice before it kicked in. That was in 1988. Hang in there man and God Bless You.
11 years my momma passed.. 11years it took me to find peace in this fact 11 more years and I'll look even more like my angel
I never did anything... but my girl has done it all. She’s been an addict since she was 14. Now she is 28. That’s half of her life gone from her addiction. She quit cold turkey a few weeks ago after she found out she is pregnant with my child... she is my rock and I’m always there to support her. I love you Stephanie. I hope you see this comment when you come to this song later down the road. ❤️
Congratulations and best wishes to the both of you.
I hope everything worked out well for you and her and for your daughter 🙏 ❤️
❤
Don't know you but my prayers are with you and your family.
My daughter got sober for her baby... is still sober .
I CAN BE DONE AND CONTINUE TO BE DONE .
GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏❤
I don't know anyone here but my prayers are for each and every one 🙏 it's hard I pray all can stay strong 😢🙏

Prayers to you through your journey 🙏💟💓
one of my faves. I am a heroin addict in recovery and this makes me cry every damn time. I've lost 4 good friends scince June to this disease. the overdosed and one committed suicide. please if you can't help an addict don't hurt an addict. Trust we hurt ourselves enough...RIP David, Wally, Dennis, Trish, and Sarah A. you are all greatly missed
Wish you all the best. You can beat anything, even heroine if you really want to !....I know it's a great song !
This stranger loves you, and hopes you recover well and have a strong and blessed life.
praying for your continued recovery
***** thank you so much Phyllis for your support, understanding, and the fact you took time to respond rather than scrolling past thinking dumb junkie or something.... GOD bless you! Made my day fur real
Sarah Cadogan
I'm praying for you rt now. My twin is a addict same as you Sarah.I'm hoping your ok in this fucked up beautiful world we live in. I hope you're still sober today and living to your fullest.
I lost my sister in law today. She battled addiction in many ways. Jessie was a mother, a daughter, granddaughter, good friend. And so much more. She had a heart of gold. She chose to end her life because along with addiction comes guilt and pain that you cause to the ones you love most. It's never intentional to hurt them. In that moment she felt it was the only way out. The simplest thing you can do is show compassion and just love and except people for that were only human and we all make mistakes. Life is so delicate
If you feel someone is hurting or acting different please reach out suicide is real and it's never the answer
I saw my son overdosed, purple, dead, with a needle in his arm. Thank God, he came to and is clean now. Still struggling , but so far , good.
@@tamathanelson6879 ,hi Tamatha.I 2 am an addict, I dont knw if yr heard the term "needle fixation", well thts wht I had, I was addicted to heroin first blast wen I was 15years young! I have never overdosed myself,but seen my husband overdose serval times,only 2b hit with narcan frm ambulance paramedics, at a snap of the fingers he was "with it " again asking me wer mine hit was..which was stashed in my sock! Go 2 A&E ,2b discharged 2hours later! Back on street looking 4 more gear! We need a wake up sometimes,cos pleading and blackmailing an addict only turns them in2 a liar as well,I will be a sober addict as will yr son,4 the rest of our lives.sorry u had2 see wht u seen,speaking frm experience we addicts only want 2get high ...not get dead! Full well knowing all the risks,goodluck to you and yr son,may a bright future be yours,xx
🙏💜😇
I’m just starting my recovery after 72 days pray for all who never stop trying
This song leaks so many words.. It reminds me of my mother and i could still see her listening and see her passion while she sang this song not only did she battle with addiction but i battled with addiction myself and i knew it was bad cause i seen her and her struggles but i fell in the lifestyle anyway.. So now while i listen to this song i see how much connection i have with this song like she did it not only makes me sad but it also makes me happy cause i have came a long way from where i was and i thank her for watching over me in heaven.. Today is her bday and i just wanted to jam this song for her and i did just that thanks!
Congratulations on ur clean time is adifficult road but also a very rewarding one. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of ur mother. Prayers amd angels will be semt to comfort u. God bless u .........lanna
Keep smiling....she would want you to xxx
❤
This song hits home so hard as an addict trying to stay on recovery side of the fence. I won't lie I've faltered more than I care to admit but I hate myself the next day or 2 just because of how much energy it drains. I pray everyday that make the right choices and do my best by my babies. This has always been one of my favorite songs even when I was you naive and didn't know what any kind of 'drug' was....oh to see those days again...only a brief thought as every journey has taught me a lesson and this lesson I'm still learning from but I feel the end of this journey coming and a new one crossing my path. I look forward to the new journey as I know it's only going to better me, or at least my knowledge and add to the lessons learned
amazing
Keep going darling
Keep it honest. Keep tying
Love ya for hel
P
😮been sober 13 years and this song and many others have kept me sober
God led me to this song!!! Blessings to everyone💪🙏
I’m 26 days sober and in treatment rn and I feel amazing! Love this.💞 a friend just sent me this song!
❤
We do recover I have been clean and sober for 11 years it gets easier to say no and stay sober Im so proud of people who can beat those demons its a fight worth fighting and its a fight we can win it takes a very strong person to walk away from a life of drugs i never knew how strong I really was until my mother passed november of 2019 and i stayed clean
I lost my 3 yrs son this month 13 yrs ago, this song hits harder now. I've always loved it since i was a child, always felt the depths of this song as a kid.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@mctavish23 🤍🤍🤍
Sorry for your loss. I also lost my son a week before he was due, in August. Sending you lots of love.
Been clean 4 years
This song is so powerful
There is real power in the name of Jesus to break every chain
To Him be the glory forever
Amen 🙏
May Jesus heal all of you suffering and recovering! Amen!
Amen!!!
@Jackie Striegel ueah right
James , it's not that easy, Jesus only shows us the way, We have to walk ourselves
Oh ye of little faith
Thank you man!! Much needed!!
this was my mom's fav song when she was a live it kills me to listen to it but somthing made me come here I miss u so much mommy RIP
I'm very sorry for your loss...I guess we all have songs that remind us of people who have left us ! .... Take care. :)
+mirrorro77 thanks this month make 11 months shes been gone I just miss her so much this song was a ever morning.must for us
my dad passed away a week ago on friday this was also his favorite song. I'm crying as I listen to it but I feel like he is here with me.
Extremely sorry for your loss. You have a friend in me and you're never alone.
My father passed away of massive cardiac arrest when I was in school at the age of eight. I'm 47 this year and each year I take my Summer holidays starting on Father's Day. I miss my pop. :)
This song is powerful for people in recovery like myself.... I've always found it soothing
❤
This thread is beautiful....gives me hope for humanity.
My best friend was addicted to self harm, its a different kind of addiction, but still a powerful one. She lost her battle with depression on 4/7/2020 at the age of 21. I feel so empty without her, she was like a sister to me for the past 10 years. It feels unreal to not have her here anymore.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My father in law lost his on 4/7/2017.
My wife lost her battle with alcohol/depression on June 7th 2020. We were married for 13 years. No matter what fight for them even when they don't want you to. She was a great mother and wife. That wound will never heal.
Im so very sorry I hope your healing ,I know you will never forget ,I hope your healing ,God Bless you !
So sorry for your loss.
I'm just 14 and don't really know how talk to older people but...I know what having depression and things like that are like so, I really hope you're doing better. I'm really sorry for your loss, and I hope that you know that I'll be here for yah if you need it. 💖
I’m now over 9 months clean and I pray for everybody in these comments and anybody that’s ever struggled or been around substance abuse. Everyday is a new feeling and experience in life. No day is the same.
Damn right Amber, WE DO RECOVER. And who ever didn't step in and help US, watch us climb that Mountain and, ACHIEVE!
My brother passed. The same day he told.me.he finally understood why I liked older music. While this song was playing ..
Beautiful song. Beautiful lyrics. 6 years off the needle and this song has been played more times than I can count now.
❤
"She talks to Angels"
Has been a song that I related to since i lost my baby son Armand.
I lost my mind , pain was there in the waking of the dawn , till I closed my eyes to sleep.
I wore, still do wear a cross
I never got a locket of my son's hair .
I lost my brother this march .
didn't think of it till it was too late , to ask for some of his hair .
I washed my brother's clothes and found his hair wrapped around some plastic!!
Now I will have his hair put in a locket
to wear with my cross and his picture.
Around my neck .
So amazing and mysterious
how God works.
This song speaks to many people, in many different ways ❤
❤
I remember listening to this song with my parents. Life was so beautiful in many ways. Now I'm a parent listening to this song with my daughters and feel it in my heart. It takes me way back in time.
❤
I lost my aunty a few years back and this song always makes me think of her. :( rest in peace.
❤
these song came out while living in Tampa Fl...great songs! Minnesota is home now... see all of your comments bout losing someone u loved makes me think of my mom too..gone march of this yr.. keep your head up!
Ive lost some good people to overdose. This was a must learn song for me when I started to play guitar, damned if i can get through it without choking up. May God bless & watch over you during your recovery!
My son's dad died of an overdose. Loved this song as a kid . But now I understand the pain . And the realization of the song.. this song was his life. Now it's mine. I pull those shades down tight. And try to give a smile when the pain comes.i. also learning this song on guitar . Chokes us both up!
The guitar is just incredible- I never got good at playing those harmonics.
I've been through addiction and I lost a son. This song really hits close to home.
lost my son 2019 quit drinking same year
Condolences & neither here nor there but like ur handle @@sophisticatedmorons
@@jasonprice5307 thank you sir #sophomore
❤
For all of us that look at the clouds and see the magic the hold. The ones who are misunderstood left out in the cold with the voices that guide them as their only friend. May we all be so lucky to find someone like me......Dedicated to the one I sit next to I pray he realizes what he means to me.
I've known this song for awhile. Never knew the meaning some it gives a different meaning to. To me it hits for sad lonely tired isolated and not loved at all .I just listened to it again after hearing the man Huntly sing it on the voice. so I read the comments I see yours
IT MADE ME CRY. BC to me that's what it is exactly to me also my feelings relate ❤ things will get better
This has always been a song I've related to. In all of the ways and reasons it describes. Life is hard and lonely. Theres a smile when the pain comes! !
❤
Such a long time ago this song came out. Yes I remember so well my favorite when came out
Lost my mom today, this song always makes me think of her... Who knew you could actually feel a broken heart ♥
We hope your are ok FM.
I know. It’s just en empty pit in your chest
My condolences. She would be very proud of you today.
sorry for you loss I lost both of my grandads recently
FIBRO MOM ... I cried with you tonight. God bless you.
This song brings me to tears, I lost my beloved husband and father of our 2 amazing boys in Nov.2020 from addiction also. Every day I struggle with the guilt of what I should have done, could have done to save him. WHY GOD WHY HIM??? This year we will be married 23yrs. This song grabs me by my shaking hands and broken soul and reminds me that now I call out his name, MY ANGEL in the heavens. Everyone I spoke to would say it gets easier well whoever's thinks that is delusional.
The pain well for me will always hurt just as bad or worse as time goes by.
❤❤❤
This song is for my daughter, Amber, who lost her battle with addiction on June 29,2019
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Amber. She’s free now, she has peace, no more addiction ♥️. I lost my 23 year old son in February 2017, he too battled with addiction.
May your daughter rest in peace. God bless you and your family 💗💗
I to lost my daughter, but not to addiction which lead me to my substance abuse
I'm deeply sorry for your loss, sending positive energy your way.
Whitechina xo So very sorry for the loss of your daughter 💕. I pray you can recover from your addiction, your daughter would want you to go on a live a wonderful life ♥️. Stay strong
My mom was an adict rhis song makes me cry. She died last year and its like 6 days before her death date
Hang in there. It’s painful. As life is. It will get better. I’m not sure if the pain lessens or we just get more tolerant of it. It does get better. 💕
God bless you. I pray you are hanging on well. I've lost all of my immediate family and do know what it's like on the anniversary of their passing.
So sorry for your painful loss.
My mother died as a result of addiction a little over a year ago. Its definatly a hard thing to cope with, this song is one of my favorite to listen to when thinking of her.
I lost my Mother to addiction. My oldest daughter read a book saying it takes three generations to wash away addiction from a family tree, specifically maternal. My grandmother also suffered, her mother gave birth to her daughters on the Choctaw Indian Reservation in Oklahoma.
Never knew this song was about addiction, I just love this song❤
❤
The pain referenced in this song is addiction
This is Cole Blevins. Congratulations! Stay Strong! God Bless You & Those That You Hold Dear To Your Heart!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Congrats to all of you in recovery ...your true inner strength is shining right now ...bask in your moment and shine ...to all of you that has faced loss due to addiction ..keep the memories alive
I've read these comments many many times. God bless all and Happy Easter 2023 ❤
best concert I ever seen The Black Crows @ The Rave in 2010! They played for at least 1.5 hours straight jamming the whole time!
Amber I'm 11 years clean now sober and I'm so proud of you. It isn't easy but it does get easier when your working your recovery on a daily basis. Keep the good work lady!! I absolutely hear when you say you'd love to Chayce Beckham sing this song. He's the winner....👍😉❤🙏
Almost 2 to years here to God bless.
Congrats
My guides brought this through for me. X well played guides and what a beautiful message. Blessed be x
Yeah it's pretty good. Makes me think about my mom. I carry so much pain in so many ways for so many different reasons but it never goes away
Scattering my mothers ashes today. She lost the battle of addiction but she is free now and finally has the peace that she could never have in this world. ❤️🙏🏽
Been battling for forty years special song
Same. WOW!
Recovery is possible.... This song gets me everytime.
I lost my son who was 19 years old in a tragic accident a little less than two weeks and this song is me
❤
I've been clean from meth since 2005. I hated not being able to differentiate, between reality/fantasy I actually quit cold turkey.
Been clean about the same time. Good job honey.
Branden McGuire Wonderful
Hey if nobody told you, I'm proud of you. I've seen how it changes people, I have a family member...well, you already know. You are so strong, friend.
Started my journey of recovery in 2010 and I’ve never looked back
Congrats man probably not an easy feat! Shoutout from Canada and best wishes through this covid crap. Stay strong dude you've accomplished what a lot cannot!
Sometimes WE (in ourselves) have/or NEED to walk away from the ones WE LOVE because THEY are our crutch to keep doing what YOU DON'T want to DO in order to heal yourself ...even IF it's BY yourself!
I’ve never been an addict, I’m only 18. But a lot of my family is or has been. This song speaks.
one of my favorite songs and always will be
I love this song it's one of the best and I believe in angles 😍
Powerful song! Love it!
I would have to agree!
I’m not addicted to anything and I can so resonate with this song. Thank you guys for showing me a new perspective.
I LOVE THIS SONG I TRY TO LISTENING TO IT EVERYDAY
IT'S A SONG THAT NEVER GETS OLD
LOVE 💘 IT
Been clean 4 years and have a 4 beautiful children. There is light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to want it! Bless you all
I did not know that this song was out there until the day I found my mom and my best friend passed away on September 8 2017 she was addicted to pain pills for years and she accidentally overdosed and I found her and my world was gone and still is
She was and now still is my angel 😇 I love her and miss her so much and I never will be the same again
But this song is so beautiful and healing for me every time I listen to it
I'm blessed to have had her in my life and I am blessed to have this beautiful message from the song
Please don't dismiss the people in your life that are addicted with some kind of poison
Love them and stay in their lives so you will be able to say that you have loved them and you are loved and appreciated by them
Don't miss out of the time you have with them you will and won't regret it
God bless them and God bless you always and forever
❤
You brought tears to my eyes,may the creator bless you and watch over you dear!
that song is so awesome you rock black crows!!!!!
God bless 🙏all of you that are in recovery 👍for I myself have been battling this addiction for many yrs. Addiction is a horrible disease. It's a terribly rough ride. God bless & keep all of you safe,clean or not clean.✌️🙏🌹
At life's lowest, we can be at the feet of Jesus. Yesterday is gone, today is the promise of redemption. No baggage, just love! John 3:16
Preach it Charles. So many people don't have the gutts to say what you just did.Stay strong, With all that is happening in the world I think we will be goin home soon.
I appreciate where your comin from and still can connect to this song.. you must not be Baptist.
@@gingerbroad7888 Hey. I am a Baptist and very far right Republican. I would be scared living in this world and not having the angels God sends to us. I am a handful so their with me all the time. I do talk to angels!!
6 years clean! Never thought it was possible to get off drugs but here I am! I’m a new believer of Christ and dealt with so much trauma and I’m happy being alive now. WE DO RECOVER!
Love this song. The words are very true...
I pray for you all in recovery. Thank God i have never been there but this IS THE BEST DAMN BAND THERE EVER WAS!!! YAAAASSSSS!!
This was one of moms favorite songs. I remember when I was about 11, my mom took me with her to a concert the black crowes were doing. when they played this song, my mom couldn't do anything but cry. she passed 4 years ago today to a nasty cancer battle. I made sure that this song was played at her funernal. even though its not my generation of music, the black crowes are totally one of the greatest bands out there.
now you can talk to that beautiful angel... your mom
It's all life ,high and low.It's hard to be a good driver , but turn arround if ya have to.try hard not to be a setting sun, further on up the road something else could take over, a strong mind is in us all ,we need to find it , especially if your in jail or the grasp of addiction.. the dabbling duck don't always float .
One day at a time, God sees the pain and the willingness each addict commits to in their recovery. 12 years clean; I've been given a new way to live. It wasn't easy the first 2-3 years but I wouldn't have missed a day of it for what I have now.
A masterpiece, period.
Yes my angels..we DO recover! Blessings from our Heavenly Father. X
I wish my family would get off of the drugs. They used to be such beautiful souls. I miss them so much!
Been clean quite a while and this song WAS me. Thank you God for helping me find peace without drugs !!!!
We do and can "RECOVER"
Yes BELIEVE
Are u sure? I hope so!
I think an angel or God or a voice from the great beyond talked to me in my sleep. Sobered me right up. It's been seven years of a better life
My mother was addicted to alcohol my entire life, at 44 she chose to fix herself, her liver count was good everything was looking up. She “found god once more” four months into recovery I bring my bf over to meet her. She had moved about and hour and a half out of state. We get there and she’s puking blood, I call 911. Turns out her esophagus tore, pouring blood into her stomach. She lost so much blood before making it to the hospital, I kissed her once before she left on her last ride. Wish I would have said more, told her how proud I was of her. I’m 23, and I lost my mother and best friend on June 6th, 2017, and my life has been changed. Fight your addiction, but don’t wait until it’s too late.
Mothers know when they are loved. She knew. Approving of someone's behavior and love are different and your mum would feel this and I am speaking as a mum. God bless you.
@@ronnykuitert2738 omg im so sorry
Rip she is an Angel on your shoulders..
Up there dancing with a free soul free from the demons if addiction...
I'm battling right now.. I've been through many battles but this gonna be toughest But I no I can do it one last time.. detox here i come. 🇨🇮#2019 my year pls god..
I’m so sorry to hear that it makes me emotional 😭 I wouldn’t know what to do if I lost my mother 😢😢😥😥😥I’m praying 🙏🏼 for you
My heart is crying for many different reasons, peace and love.
My Grandmother had a Heart Attack yesterday, she survived it though. I won't forget that moment but during this time we thought she was going to die, she played This song, It was her favorite as a teen. Every day, I listen to this to remind me of her greatness as I am a 13-year old.
Been waiting for nearly three years …. I'm getting old.
May God bless and keep all of you recovering from substance abuse. If you tell yourself you can’t overcome this you are lying to yourself. You can do anything you set your mind to, is it easy no but it can be done. God Bless
I love all the comments I have 73 days sober we can recover
My best wishes for YOU ...
One day at a time brother!!!!
💜💜💜💜💜Much Love..
Hope you are still doing well.
Prayers for you on your journey 🙏💟💓
I think it was a message for someone in the future. Thanks
