Hello. This song was actually dedicated to Poor Man's Poison's high school friend (Aaron Vryhof, my uncle). Its a good song, but I always cry reminded about him, and it hurts. I miss him like hell, me and the rest of the Vryhofs' (his family). I just wanted to explain that. Thank you, Poor Man's Poison, for this song, and thank you for reading.
He was a good person and piece of this small town we call home. We loved him dearly. It was actually Adam (his twin for the not Hanfordians) that came over and said that line, "He just wasn't stronger than the whiskey." I told him right then I was gonna make it a song. His response as we started making it and he heard it for the first time was, "Thats hard to hear, but if it helps even one person out there, Then you should put this song out". RIP Aaron Vryhof
My condolences… This song hits hard, and knowing the story behind it makes it even harder. I wish you guys all the best, and thanks for bringing this song to the light. RIP Aaron Vyrhof, you’ll always be remembered with such caring friends and family, and a part of you lingers within this song.
I totally agree. My brother-in-law just passed in December from alcoholism. His family begged, pleaded, prayed and tried everything they could to help him put down the bottle. In the end, he poisoned himself to death. His body just stopped working. He went into liver failure, pancreatic failure, kidney failure, and it is soooooo sad! This song could have little been written about him. It is so spot on. I’m sure there are endless people who can say the same. I love this song because it’s honest and it’s healing, lets people know the aren’t alone.
This song literally has me tearing up with every listen..I spent 20+ years drinking until I blacked out, making bad decision after bad decision, losing friends, family and what could have been amazing relationships.. but Noone or anything was more important than the liquor. Haven't had a drink in 2 years this month. Everyday is still hard with fighting the urge for that drink but the little things get me though.. this is the 3rd poor mans poison song that gets the eyes watering so I gotta thank you for making true music that speaks to people and causes true emotion.. that's what art is all about and you guys do it better than anyone.
Watched my brother go through this after coming back from Iraq. Hang in there! He’s been sober for a few years now, but we nearly lost him. Proud of you and him!
FUCKIN-A BROTHER!!!😎✊ THE "UNIVERSE" LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO BE CHALLENGED SO YOUR ABLE TO RISE ABOVE FUTURE PROBLEMS _AND_ BE ABLE 2 HELP OTHERS DO THE SAME!!! STAY STRONG MY FRIEND... MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY... YOU GOT THIS!!
4 months sober. It's been rough, especially over New Years Eve. Probably the first time I woke up without a hangover on new years day in decades. Discovered this band not long ago, and just had TH-cam continue to play their songs. Then this song came on. If you could see me now, I look like a man who's lost his dog. It was just the kick in the ass I needed right now. I am stronger than the whiskey. I'm never going back.
I'm so proud of you man. You kicked that demons ass! And if you ever do stumble, you'll be able to beat it again. There are always people cheering you on. Even if you will never meet us. Much love to you and your journey.
Next Friday marks one year sober. My wife and kids saved my life. I put them through literal hell for two years and they never turned their backs on me. This song hits and it hits HARD. You guys are so amazing and I love you guys. This song speaks volumes to me and helps push me through some harder days. Thank you so much.
“They’re broken down now as he lies in the ground” Watched my dad struggle with alcoholism for years before finally losing him. We tried so hard to help him. Every single lyric hits so hard. It breaks my heart that my experience and my dad’s experience are so common that this song could be written and so many people can relate to it. Beautiful song nonetheless and definitely one of my new favorites.
I'm sorry for your loss. I too lost a parent to this disease, shortly after nearly losing myself to it. It's difficult to articulate the kind of struggle it is, even to people close to you and/or the person. Love the song too, even though it hit's home in a terrible way.
I grew up the same way kinda, I was scared of him coming home, of the yelling and scared to ask him for help, scared to tell him when I accidentally broke something, there were quite a few times he had attempted to have me drink, course I was younger back then and thought it was cool and ok cause he did it, at the time he was my idol yet I was terrified of him. But now he’s been sober for iirc almost 3 years now. He nearly killed himself while drinking, he told his boss to go fuck himself, practically ruined his life, nearly froze to death, and then within 3 months of rehab, he was completely changed man, course he still hold some of his bad habits. But he’s getting better. Slowly of course.
I miss him... He wasn't stronger than the whisky, died with alcohol dementia and with the eyes as yellow as a sunflower. Even his family and friends wasn't enough. Wish you are doing better out there, my friend. Wish you better.
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey. . My dad passed away this morning, fighting cirrhosis and kidney failure from decades of alcohol abuse. I'll miss him dearly. Thank you poor man's poison for your music, helping me cope :]
It's a hard habit to beat, and an even harder mindset to beat. Personally, my alcohol and depression don't play nice together. Now don't drink unless it's a good mood and I have friends around. :)
Mate, I reckon I got the mood bit sorted, but it's tough when one is more or less always alone. Drives a fella mad. Turns out, not everyone has someone who still needs them. "You and me, we're more ghosts now than people." - Arthur Morgan, to Sadie Adler
My pop told me before he died "never touch liquor. It hooked me and no matter how I fight, I can't get free. Stay away" That stuff rings in my head forever.
@davidmcanespy6412 you alright there brother? Don't be afraid to reach out for help if you need it. There ai t no shame in it. This world is a better place with you still in it so don't give up.
This song takes me back to those late nights drinking by myself. That feeling despair. Get help if you need it folks. I never want to feel like that again.
First song that when i try to sing it, I cry, it is that good. The song deals with a topic that I normally see somehow glorified in other songs, addiction. In this case is alcoholism but you can really make a version of this song for almost every vice, ciggarettes, drugs, and others . The song is so damn down to earth that at least to me trying to sing it feels like my stomach sinks deep. I appreciate the fact that there are like, maybe 3 instruments involved in this song, it gives it more seriousness and makes it all the more grounded. I am kinda young, I saw myself in the song, and decided I do not want that future for myself, nor anyone who goes with me through life. Thank you guys, you are absolutely awesome
I lost my uncle back in 2017 to complications related to his intense alcoholism. He helped raise me after my parents divorced when I was young. I remember how hard we all fought to save him from the bottle’s grip. Long nights, hospital visits, constant interventions. I still cry when I think about the day he took his last breath. Sometimes I think back and wonder, what if I tried a little harder? What if I was a little stronger? Maybe he would still be alive today. Maybe I could have saved him. It’s a regret I will carry until the end of my life. To whoever is reading this, please never give up on the ones you love, even if they fuck up and make mistakes or are struggling with addiction. Never turn your back on them, because under all those bad decisions is someone who is suffering and trapped by their demons.
So true. They are really crying out for help in desperation. My brother is in Tampa General Hospital ICU trauma/transplant ward. He has been in the hospital since Father's day. He was gifted a new liver by a selfless soul who was a donor. He would have died within a week if not for the transplant. But he still is not ok. He has fluid retention around and in his lungs and abdomen. He is on dialysis. He has been incubated 3 times. He is 6'5" and weighs about 180lbs. His normal weight is 220-230. He looks like a Holocaust victim. He cannot even get himself out of bed. He is 39 years old. And he did a cover of this song and I bawled my eyes out for half the day listening to it over and over. I wish so badly I would have done something before his cirrhosis got so bad.
My grandfather is drinking himself to death, and is a big part of why the whole family is falling apart. Somehow, this song brings a little bit of catharsis. Like, just... knowing that this isn't unique. Others relate. You're not alone. Thank you for this song.
My parents are both recovering alcoholics, this song hit way harder than I want to admit. It made me so unbelievably grateful. I'm sorry for those who aren't so lucky. You all are loved, take care.
I’m still working on being better about my drinking habit. It was a slow descent, and I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten before it was too late. I’m working on moderating myself a lot more, especially after listening to this song.
As one of the people still here after loosing my cousin who was my best friend in the world, let me tell you that it sucks to loose someone that way. Any way sucks but watching them slowly kill themselves while they won't even admit they have a problem is brutal. I would cut off my right arm with an old rusty saw just to have him back but it's too late now. I'm sure there is at least one person who would be stuck feeling just like I do if you were gone. He was only 33 too. There was a congenital issue that made the drinking worse on his liver but it can kill you very young if you let it take over your life. First step is admitting you have a problem, next is to ask for help my friend. God bless you and if you need someone to talk to hit me up.
This band has single handedly made me want to quit drinking. The bell has rung and the fight is on. Love your work...all of it. I cant find words to describe how much this song scares me. But i need it. Or this will be a short battle
they are my favorite band! and this song reminds me of my grandfather when he drank and drank non-stop... but he doesn't drink anymore because my grandmother passed away... if you feel bad, seek help. Greetings from Peru.
I have for the past few months been listen to PMP and I adore their music. Last night, I found this song. Every word and line of this song really resonates with me. This is exactly what my sister and I went through with my father. My mother as well, but she tapped out when I was 7 years old after years of effort and heartbreak as well. For years, my sister and I tried to tell him of the importance of him in our lives and how we need him. He refused (or was incapable) to change. He died in January 2020 from it. This song really captures the desperation between my sister and I. The frustration, the anger, the anguish, the heartbreak, and the fear of knowing where he was heading. It also beautifully shares his side, too. The trapped feeling he was experiencing, the pleas for help, the recognition and being hyper-aware of his situation without having the strength to change it. The reliance on others to carry him to safety, the pain of which he experienced to where he needed to drown them out. It really shows in a beautiful format how truly painful this situation is on everyone who is around it or directly involved. My sister just gave birth two months ago to what would be his first grandchild and he never know him. This song is beautifully written. It's amazing how powerful this song is and how similar this type of story plays out for all who know it. It's a gift and a reminder. Thank you for this song.
We are sorry for your loss. To be fair, as "beautifully written" this song is, your personal glimpse of reality, and the way you put that into words to help others, well... THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT! Stay strong friends.
Let's wish good luck to those who are trying to change their lives for the better, cheer for those who overcame alcohol, and have a moment of silence for those, who weren't stronger than the whiskey.
My friend showed me feed the machine one day and they were instantly up with my favourites, such a distinct style and wonderful voice that plays so well with their instrumentals.
You guys released this song as my family is attempting to help my mother in law with severe alcohol abuse. This songs hits really hard. Many don’t realize that this is exactly where that road leads. Thank you for keeping it real!
show her the song, show her how you feel, show her the road ahead and what she stands to lose; I hope you can pull her out of it, but don't waste 10 years of your life like I did, so much time waisted, so much I could have done without my mother leaching off of me. as much as it hurts, eventually, you need to rip that leach off, before you wither emotionally, psychologically, and financially.
I found this song a month or so ago and it has both helped and pained me every time I hear it. I lost my dad to alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and this song so painfully captures the cycle I saw him fall into. I don’t know how to describe to people who haven’t been in that situation because whiskey is one hell of an opponent. I’m heartbroken for everyone who has lost someone to it, and so genuinely proud of anyone who is strong enough to pull themselves out of its grip. Thank you so much for this amazing song
The sad softness of the "...again" reminds me of the feeling I had when my mum used to drink and how as a kid it felt as natural as wrong. Then I learnt what a vicious thing addiction is, calling out again and again until one wields. My admiration goes to those who got sober, or are getting there, keep fighting. This song is a beautiful anthem for people struggling with alcohol and the ones who love them, kudos.
Much soul and experience behind this song; take it from someone who has had his vices and lost people to vices, turn that sorrow to anger towards your vice and you'll overcome it so long as you truly want to end it. It will be hard, it will hurt, but so long as you power through like a solider climbing a hill shrugging off every injury, you'll make it; no vice is worth losing yourself and those you love.
My general rule is if the music gives me goosebumps you've become a favorite forever. Almost all your songs so far have done this. I already loved this song and the video is a nice touch for the message as well as good advertising with that glass xD
There he goes again Lost in the drink The bottle's half empty As he tries not to sink There he goes again He lost control again The drink takes him down Despair in his eyes As he tries not to drown There he goes again She says "Don't give in now" "We still need you" "I still need you around" He says "I don't know how" "But I still need you" "To save me somehow" There he goes again Worse for the wear Empty glass, empty stare And he tried to outrun his history And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life They tried In the end, it ain't a mystery He said "Show me the way, don't give up on me today" "See I tried" "If anybody's listening" But they're broken down now As he lies in the ground They tried They just weren't stronger than the whiskey There he goes again Slave to the drink The bottle's now empty As he tries not to think There he goes again She says "Don't give in now" "We still need you" "I still need you around" He says "I don't know how" "But I still need you" "To save me somehow" There he goes again Worse for the wear Empty glass, empty stare And he tried to outrun his history And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life They tried In the end, it ain't a mystery He said "Show me the way, don't give up on me today" "See I tried" "If anybody's listening" But they're broken down now As he lies in the ground He tried He wasn't stronger than the whiskey He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
This song makes me feel so much heartache. My father spent years sitting in the basement till the wee hours smoking cigarettes and drinking..he now has stage four lung cancer but now I see myself repeating history where I’m sitting in my back hall smoking blunts and drinking my whiskey while my husband falls asleep waiting for me. I feel like I’m stuck in this cycle and can’t break out no matter how much I want to. This song isn’t just a sad reminder of those years with my father and me waiting up for him to know he’s safe and a brutal wake up call for the road I’m going down Edit: year later and I’ve finally stopped relying on whisky to help me sleep..still want to drink but I know if I have it in the house it’ll become a nightly habit again..the struggles real but we shall persevere!
This is heartbreaking. We all have our struggles and vices, but we also have to, for the sake of the people around us who love us, be the ones strong enough to break the cycle. We all can be the reason for change. Also, never be afraid to ask for help. Be vulnerable, wear your emotions on your sleeve, and let the ones who care about you most be your strength because ultimately, you're not alone. As a fellow human being, we all care about you.
@@PoorMansPoisonthank you! A year later and I’m doing decent..can’t lie of course the craving is still there but we’re pushing and persevering..thank you for your music and helping me open my eyes to the path I was traveling down!
This video conjures up so many emotions for those who have seen it and many more for those who have lived it themselves. I pray those struggling are lucky enough to get that wake up call before you lose it all.
In the last month, I've lost a relative and a friend to cancer. Last Wednesday was the 2nd anniversary of my mother's death, again to cancer, and I've just heard that another friend has been diagnosed with throat cancer. To add to that, my childhood friend took his life last year. Despite months and months of therapy and grief counselling, I just haven't been able to process it all. I've gone all this time holding myself together to be there for other people. Tonight I put this song on and I just completely broke down. I've been crying for hours, like the dam holding everything back has finally burst. It hurts. It hurts so much. I've never felt pain like this before. but it feels like an incredible weight has been lifted. Thank you.
I didn’t experience this with my dad. He died in a car wreck that hospitalized me too. My mom fell heavy into alcohol and it almost got her and myself killed. I feel so lucky that she didn’t turn out like the father in this song and im so thankful I found this song when I was having a really hard time dealing with her. It took a lot but I managed to convince her she was indeed stronger than the whiskey. Thanks so much for your great music guys
This is one of the few songs I listen to that hit as close to home as it does. Both of my parents are heavy drinkers and it pushed me to the point of moving out at 16 the first chance I had, I'm 20 now and still haven't seen them since and only talk on occasional phone calls.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It is just so powerful, so real, so relatable. I haven't had a song grab me like this in so long I'd forgotten what it was like. You guys are easily one of my favorite bands, and I just wanted to say thank you for the music you make, and how it is so different from most of the rest of the modern music world. Looking forward to more whenever you guys release it.
This is a well written telling of the disease. It is a terrible disease, much worse than people think they know. I lost my way. It took a terrible event, 5 weeks in a coma, months of therapy/recovery and the strength of my wife to stop my drinking. I have not had a sip since. it will be 5 years in July. Drinking took my mother, on my son's birthday only 1 year after I quit. I hadn't spoken to her in months. Be endlessly forgiving and strong with someone you love that has this disease. Hate the sin, love the sinner. You really do not understand just how important it is for you to be there in that one moment. Be a seatbelt. Save a life. That person you love is still in there, I promise.
I love seeing music bring out the dark side of drinking. I've had my share of nights drinking alone just because I could. My fiancée was the first one to call me out on having a problem. She almost left me last year because every time I would drink, it put her through hell. Not that I'm a bad, abusive drunk, but I always went over the limit and blacked out, waking up wondering what happened. It's been a journey, but I'm able to set a plan for myself, go out and have just one or two with friends and family. The urge is always there regardless though. Anyway.. thank you for this song. Talk about a tear-jerker.
Latinos presentes, pidan subtitulos en español y den todo el apoyo a estos buenos cantantes! 😁👌 Que no se queden en pensar que su musica es de un solo pais!
I hate how much this personally hits I used to have an alcohol problem during my teen years even if I got over it. And even then, the part that feels worse is I have a friend with depression and a massive dependency on liquor. He's a dad, but thankfully he's getting help from the local Church and with a therapist
We lost my little brother to alcohol. This song gets me (emotionless bastard, just ask my wife) everytime. It is beautiful and it always reminds me of tom and the times we had. Thank you for this piece and the meaning that I have placed in it. You have helped give what my thoughts were words.
I'm 14, the fact this song (and providence) is my favourite is saying something about me. This song stopped me from drinking as a minor. I am grateful to have heard this song
Oh my absolute God. This hits so hard & so personal to me. I have cirrhosis & have lost my family because of that demon in a bottle. I’m working like hell to be okay & get them back. I’m 88 days sober but man this song REALLY touched me. I’m literally crying because I feel like it was written for me.
I cried when I first heard this song... It reminds me of my own father who I lost to alcoholism.... But that never meant he wasn't a good person. He would give the shirt of his back to anyone in need. But he would kill you where you stood if you put his family in danger.
I'm glad my father found God and stopped the bad route he was on. It was all for my sister and it makes me really proud of him he's been sober for a year now could have lost him to drug and alcohol abuse of 20 years. We was doing drugs and drinking since before I was born. Always going to help him when he needs it like he did for me. And to anyone who wasn't as lucky as me gof bless y'all and wish y'all gods love
I don't think a song has hit me quite as hard as this. The conversations are almost word for word one's my mom and I have had with my dad. It's both terrifying and encouraging to know others have had this same experience.
Wow awesome just awesome they need to be on the radio if my friend didnt show me this band u wouldn't know bout these guys great job 👍👏 keep up the good work
This song helped me realize how to grieve for my father. He’s not an alcoholic, but he is an addict. We fought like hell for his life and we also weren’t stronger than his versions of whiskey.
I am so thankfull to you guys, even now... You saved me and more I think, life broke me down and now I'm here, in the right place. Thank you so much even tho I am not from around, I almost died but it saved me. Thank you so much!
I'm an embalmer in a location with an above normal alcohol abuse rate. I've cared for hundreds of people who lost their lives to alcohol in various ways. I'll admit, I've become somewhat jaded, seeing the pain that families experience after, and seeing the terrible shape that the deceased tend to be in. Thank you for reminding me that the people in my care were trying.
This is part of my workout playlist. I make sure to time my heavy lifts to it. It makes me see the man who had no control, the man on his way to the grave. I tear up sometimes, but I push through the tears. I ain't that man anymore, I'm still not stronger than the whiskey, I still yearn for her touch. But for now we lift.
I remember getting so drunk all the time just to feel something inside of me to the point I became extremely sick. Almost lost my life, and almost lost my chance at my caring wife of 2 years. It was time to put it all down and realize my responsibilities to the people that love me. It took a lot of effort to stop, but hearing this song it makes me realize the emotions that others felt being around me. I hope that everybody has someone who loves them enough to beat the bottle. You are loved and I believe in you💚
I was grooving to a southern Gothic playlist the other night. heard hell's coming with me and similar songs. 7 songs later this played & kicked me in the chest. I grew up without my father because he wasn't strong enough.
Such a heart touching song. Reminds me of my mom who ruined her life from drugs. I still remember how healthy and happy she was before using drugs and then only remembers her lifeless body,died due to drug overdose. It is hard to believe that she never let me and my sister to try drugs or alcohol. Always kept away and spooked us in childhood. Thanks to her,we never thought to consume it. Sorry for my bad English.
It's a cruel twist of fate that the cigarettes and lung cancer are what got my dad, he drank a handle a day like it didn't phase him and drove better drunk than sober. I miss him like hell and this song still hits me hard every time but I love this song and listening to you guys and I'm sorry for your loss.
So many of God's children suffer needlessly because of sin through the enemies deceit. God is for us with His whole heart and willing that none of us suffer (like Jesus did). We all need babysitting from Him we are His. May God bless more and happy Easter:)
This song always reminds me of my dad. Its not exactly the same, he died from heart complications at the hospital because he lied about being on meth. But the sentiment always really hits me, that no matter how much better he was doing without that stuff, or how he would make good money at a job that was working out without it, or how much happier i was to see him not all strung out, he still just couldn’t keep it up. When he died I was cleaning out his truck and had to have found a handful of 1 month sober chips, because he just couldn’t stop.
Love the song guys and the message as a kid I grew up with my dad and uncle get drunk and fighting every weekend now my dad's sober and my uncles walking the golden streets in the sky as he had a fatal stroke when I was 12
As person that experienced a close life long relationship with an alcoholic, they have to admit they have a problem and then fight the huge battle to recovery. I finally had to disrupt my financially secure life for peace and tranquillity after many years and walk away. It still breaks my heart. For all of you out there struggling with addiction or with a loved one, I feel your pain.
This song reminds me of when I almost destroyed the relationship with my Wife and children. I was in the military and abusing Medication to get high and my Wife was pleading me to stop. I was so high my son who was 3 at the time noticed something was wrong with Daddy. I remember he had tears in his eyes and he came up and gave me a hug and said "I love you Daddy." I broke down so hard and sobbed. I ended up going and getting help and am doing a lot better. I never want to be down that path again.
Это очень круто, сильно и вообще, вы один из моих любимых исполнителей! Группы, которые все еще выпускают музыку в потобном жанре (блюграсс, кантри) можно по пальцам пересчитать
This is an amazing song. I want to share it with my husband who just a month ago lost his brother to alcoholism. (I will have to wait until the rawness subsides a bit though) If you had released this song just a couple weeks ago, I would think that you had known my brother-in-law personally and had written it about him and his wife and son. It’s an exact description of his struggles. Thank you for this song! It is such an important message for people to hear!
I never got to meet my Grandpa. He was a drinker. He was at a party and dove into a pool, breaking his neck and paralyzing him from the shoulders down. My Grandma chose to stay with him, however; he became a Christian and gave up alcohol and lived several happiest years of his life before he went home to be with Jehovah in Heaven. This song reminds me of the stories my Grandma would share about bad experiences with him and alcohol. I know his life became very difficult after being paralyzed, but I'm glad. He gave up the alcohol and became a truly good man. I'm only sad I never got the opportunity to form a relationship with him.
Hello. This song was actually dedicated to Poor Man's Poison's high school friend (Aaron Vryhof, my uncle). Its a good song, but I always cry reminded about him, and it hurts. I miss him like hell, me and the rest of the Vryhofs' (his family). I just wanted to explain that. Thank you, Poor Man's Poison, for this song, and thank you for reading.
He was a good person and piece of this small town we call home. We loved him dearly. It was actually Adam (his twin for the not Hanfordians) that came over and said that line, "He just wasn't stronger than the whiskey." I told him right then I was gonna make it a song. His response as we started making it and he heard it for the first time was, "Thats hard to hear, but if it helps even one person out there, Then you should put this song out". RIP Aaron Vryhof
🙏
My condolences… This song hits hard, and knowing the story behind it makes it even harder. I wish you guys all the best, and thanks for bringing this song to the light.
RIP Aaron Vyrhof, you’ll always be remembered with such caring friends and family, and a part of you lingers within this song.
@PoorMansPoison it helps me every day 🙏
I’d drink too If your weird gacha ass was my niece too
Too many songs glorify alcohol and sex and never really talks about their dark side. I like the honesty in this song.
Sad I can't give you 10 thumbs ups for your words of wisdom!
@@alexandersarnov6307 helping you out by giving my thumbs up to the comment.
I totally agree. My brother-in-law just passed in December from alcoholism. His family begged, pleaded, prayed and tried everything they could to help him put down the bottle. In the end, he poisoned himself to death. His body just stopped working. He went into liver failure, pancreatic failure, kidney failure, and it is soooooo sad! This song could have little been written about him. It is so spot on. I’m sure there are endless people who can say the same. I love this song because it’s honest and it’s healing, lets people know the aren’t alone.
Fr
I was going to listen to CamiCats cover of
Pick Your Poison to lift my spirits, but after seeing this comment...
Today was the first day in a long time where I could say I was stronger than the whiskey.
proud of u my dude, keep going on
Congratulations! Let’s keep fighting 🙌🏻
Keep it up. You're still stronger.
That’s great how many days now have you been stronger count every day as victory friend
Keep it up. You got this
This song literally has me tearing up with every listen..I spent 20+ years drinking until I blacked out, making bad decision after bad decision, losing friends, family and what could have been amazing relationships.. but Noone or anything was more important than the liquor. Haven't had a drink in 2 years this month. Everyday is still hard with fighting the urge for that drink but the little things get me though.. this is the 3rd poor mans poison song that gets the eyes watering so I gotta thank you for making true music that speaks to people and causes true emotion.. that's what art is all about and you guys do it better than anyone.
Hang in there brother. One day at a time. You can do it, man!
Sister died from alcoholism. Vowed I wouldn't go the same way...
One day at a time!
8 yr bro you can if i can
Watched my brother go through this after coming back from Iraq. Hang in there! He’s been sober for a few years now, but we nearly lost him. Proud of you and him!
FUCKIN-A BROTHER!!!😎✊
THE "UNIVERSE" LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO BE CHALLENGED SO YOUR ABLE TO RISE ABOVE FUTURE PROBLEMS _AND_ BE ABLE 2 HELP OTHERS DO THE SAME!!!
STAY STRONG MY FRIEND...
MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY... YOU GOT THIS!!
Keep workin man, don’t touch that bottle and keep moving.
4 months sober. It's been rough, especially over New Years Eve. Probably the first time I woke up without a hangover on new years day in decades. Discovered this band not long ago, and just had TH-cam continue to play their songs.
Then this song came on.
If you could see me now, I look like a man who's lost his dog. It was just the kick in the ass I needed right now.
I am stronger than the whiskey. I'm never going back.
"If you could see me now, I look like a man who's lost his dog."
Song so powerful it turned you into Keanu Reeves.
Absolutely. Much love, friend.
Update. Over a year now. Not a drop. I am stronger than the whiskey.
@@Ohyeahduh Hell yeah! You're doing great!
I'm so proud of you man. You kicked that demons ass! And if you ever do stumble, you'll be able to beat it again. There are always people cheering you on. Even if you will never meet us. Much love to you and your journey.
Next Friday marks one year sober. My wife and kids saved my life. I put them through literal hell for two years and they never turned their backs on me. This song hits and it hits HARD. You guys are so amazing and I love you guys. This song speaks volumes to me and helps push me through some harder days. Thank you so much.
Good on you man and congratulations on a very difficult achievement.
Congrats on your coming around nad giving yourself a second chance.
Best wishes for you and your family pal.
Blessed are those who have loved ones who never give up its tough never give up one day at a time bless you and your family.
Congrats man, keep fighting it
I don’t know you, but I am so damn proud of you for getting clean and I’m so happy your family stayed by your side ❤️
“They’re broken down now as he lies in the ground”
Watched my dad struggle with alcoholism for years before finally losing him. We tried so hard to help him. Every single lyric hits so hard. It breaks my heart that my experience and my dad’s experience are so common that this song could be written and so many people can relate to it. Beautiful song nonetheless and definitely one of my new favorites.
I'm sorry for your loss. I too lost a parent to this disease, shortly after nearly losing myself to it. It's difficult to articulate the kind of struggle it is, even to people close to you and/or the person. Love the song too, even though it hit's home in a terrible way.
I grew up the same way kinda, I was scared of him coming home, of the yelling and scared to ask him for help, scared to tell him when I accidentally broke something, there were quite a few times he had attempted to have me drink, course I was younger back then and thought it was cool and ok cause he did it, at the time he was my idol yet I was terrified of him. But now he’s been sober for iirc almost 3 years now. He nearly killed himself while drinking, he told his boss to go fuck himself, practically ruined his life, nearly froze to death, and then within 3 months of rehab, he was completely changed man, course he still hold some of his bad habits. But he’s getting better. Slowly of course.
I feel ur pain my dad was a veteran who turned to the bottle to medicate his demons I miss him everyday
Hey Ms he was free of it in the end at least right…may have passed because it won so many times but he won the last fight ..I hope
I miss him...
He wasn't stronger than the whisky, died with alcohol dementia and with the eyes as yellow as a sunflower. Even his family and friends wasn't enough.
Wish you are doing better out there, my friend. Wish you better.
Eyes as yellow as a sunflower
So butifull yet so haunting
Who died?
Who died?
“I’m sorry” captain J. Price mw3
thats all they ever wanted to hear. im sorryh
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey. .
My dad passed away this morning, fighting cirrhosis and kidney failure from decades of alcohol abuse. I'll miss him dearly. Thank you poor man's poison for your music, helping me cope :]
Im so sorry for your loss
It's a hard habit to beat, and an even harder mindset to beat. Personally, my alcohol and depression don't play nice together. Now don't drink unless it's a good mood and I have friends around. :)
Damn man
You are doing good lad :)
Hold your head high my friend! Its the dose thats the poison.
I'm the exact same way dude. I don't like the feeling of getting drunk, and it absolutely makes me feel more anxious
Mate, I reckon I got the mood bit sorted, but it's tough when one is more or less always alone. Drives a fella mad. Turns out, not everyone has someone who still needs them. "You and me, we're more ghosts now than people." - Arthur Morgan, to Sadie Adler
My pop told me before he died "never touch liquor. It hooked me and no matter how I fight, I can't get free. Stay away" That stuff rings in my head forever.
So true
I lived in a bottle after the iraq war and my family tried but
@davidmcanespy6412 you alright there brother? Don't be afraid to reach out for help if you need it. There ai t no shame in it. This world is a better place with you still in it so don't give up.
This song takes me back to those late nights drinking by myself. That feeling despair. Get help if you need it folks. I never want to feel like that again.
First song that when i try to sing it, I cry, it is that good.
The song deals with a topic that I normally see somehow glorified in other songs, addiction. In this case is alcoholism but you can really make a version of this song for almost every vice, ciggarettes, drugs, and others .
The song is so damn down to earth that at least to me trying to sing it feels like my stomach sinks deep. I appreciate the fact that there are like, maybe 3 instruments involved in this song, it gives it more seriousness and makes it all the more grounded.
I am kinda young, I saw myself in the song, and decided I do not want that future for myself, nor anyone who goes with me through life. Thank you guys, you are absolutely awesome
Most underrated band in history right here,
You deserve 1000x the attention you get!
I lost my uncle back in 2017 to complications related to his intense alcoholism. He helped raise me after my parents divorced when I was young. I remember how hard we all fought to save him from the bottle’s grip. Long nights, hospital visits, constant interventions. I still cry when I think about the day he took his last breath. Sometimes I think back and wonder, what if I tried a little harder? What if I was a little stronger? Maybe he would still be alive today. Maybe I could have saved him. It’s a regret I will carry until the end of my life. To whoever is reading this, please never give up on the ones you love, even if they fuck up and make mistakes or are struggling with addiction. Never turn your back on them, because under all those bad decisions is someone who is suffering and trapped by their demons.
Thank you!
So true. They are really crying out for help in desperation. My brother is in Tampa General Hospital ICU trauma/transplant ward. He has been in the hospital since Father's day. He was gifted a new liver by a selfless soul who was a donor. He would have died within a week if not for the transplant. But he still is not ok. He has fluid retention around and in his lungs and abdomen. He is on dialysis. He has been incubated 3 times. He is 6'5" and weighs about 180lbs. His normal weight is 220-230. He looks like a Holocaust victim. He cannot even get himself out of bed. He is 39 years old. And he did a cover of this song and I bawled my eyes out for half the day listening to it over and over. I wish so badly I would have done something before his cirrhosis got so bad.
I’m glad my wife was there for me all those years ago. Made does this song hit personally.
My grandfather is drinking himself to death, and is a big part of why the whole family is falling apart.
Somehow, this song brings a little bit of catharsis. Like, just... knowing that this isn't unique. Others relate. You're not alone.
Thank you for this song.
I'm sorry, you're loved and I send my best to your grandpa wherever he is.
@justalilmurderous he's still alive, and has gotten a touch better. But I no longer talk with them.
Update, and it's a sad one.
Family has continued to fall apart, and today my grandfather passed away.
We just weren't stronger than the whiskey.
I would pay an unholy amount to see yall in concert lol
Me too! Certainly on my bucket list.
I will pay an entire bank worth of money.
They stopped doing concerts years ago, but yea, they are amazing and if they do tour again, you'd bet I'd be there
would you pay the devil twice as much?
Same here-
Absolutely love the way they produce their songs and the thought they put into each one-
My parents are both recovering alcoholics, this song hit way harder than I want to admit. It made me so unbelievably grateful. I'm sorry for those who aren't so lucky. You all are loved, take care.
I’m still working on being better about my drinking habit. It was a slow descent, and I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten before it was too late. I’m working on moderating myself a lot more, especially after listening to this song.
Me too brother struggle everyday and I'm still not there but somewhere in the back of my head I'll know it'll get there one day
As one of the people still here after loosing my cousin who was my best friend in the world, let me tell you that it sucks to loose someone that way. Any way sucks but watching them slowly kill themselves while they won't even admit they have a problem is brutal. I would cut off my right arm with an old rusty saw just to have him back but it's too late now. I'm sure there is at least one person who would be stuck feeling just like I do if you were gone.
He was only 33 too. There was a congenital issue that made the drinking worse on his liver but it can kill you very young if you let it take over your life. First step is admitting you have a problem, next is to ask for help my friend. God bless you and if you need someone to talk to hit me up.
This band has single handedly made me want to quit drinking. The bell has rung and the fight is on. Love your work...all of it. I cant find words to describe how much this song scares me. But i need it. Or this will be a short battle
This and debvils price are two that i listen to almost daily. They remind me to keep fighting
Best of luck to you.
Stay safe, I believe in you.
praying for your success! Keep fighting. Don't give up 💯
they are my favorite band!
and this song reminds me of my grandfather when he drank and drank non-stop... but he doesn't drink anymore because my grandmother passed away... if you feel bad, seek help. Greetings from Peru.
Never stop making songs. I love how your songs have some deep, bitter but meaningful messages
I have for the past few months been listen to PMP and I adore their music. Last night, I found this song.
Every word and line of this song really resonates with me. This is exactly what my sister and I went through with my father. My mother as well, but she tapped out when I was 7 years old after years of effort and heartbreak as well.
For years, my sister and I tried to tell him of the importance of him in our lives and how we need him. He refused (or was incapable) to change. He died in January 2020 from it. This song really captures the desperation between my sister and I. The frustration, the anger, the anguish, the heartbreak, and the fear of knowing where he was heading. It also beautifully shares his side, too. The trapped feeling he was experiencing, the pleas for help, the recognition and being hyper-aware of his situation without having the strength to change it. The reliance on others to carry him to safety, the pain of which he experienced to where he needed to drown them out.
It really shows in a beautiful format how truly painful this situation is on everyone who is around it or directly involved.
My sister just gave birth two months ago to what would be his first grandchild and he never know him.
This song is beautifully written. It's amazing how powerful this song is and how similar this type of story plays out for all who know it. It's a gift and a reminder.
Thank you for this song.
We are sorry for your loss. To be fair, as "beautifully written" this song is, your personal glimpse of reality, and the way you put that into words to help others, well... THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT! Stay strong friends.
@@PoorMansPoison where did y’all go?!
@@PoorMansPoison Please make songs again
Let's wish good luck to those who are trying to change their lives for the better, cheer for those who overcame alcohol, and have a moment of silence for those, who weren't stronger than the whiskey.
As someone who has lost loved ones to the bottle thank you. This song hurts in a good way. Alcoholism runs in my family as well as depression.
Literally found y'all this morning, already a huge fan
Lol oh youre in for a treat!!
My friend showed me feed the machine one day and they were instantly up with my favourites, such a distinct style and wonderful voice that plays so well with their instrumentals.
@@zc8211 thats the first song I heard to and I was hooked.
Same. I was listening to my mix on here and providence showed up on it
@@sarahbear2032 I feel like almost everyone's first pmp song was feed the machine
You guys released this song as my family is attempting to help my mother in law with severe alcohol abuse. This songs hits really hard. Many don’t realize that this is exactly where that road leads. Thank you for keeping it real!
show her the song, show her how you feel, show her the road ahead and what she stands to lose; I hope you can pull her out of it, but don't waste 10 years of your life like I did, so much time waisted, so much I could have done without my mother leaching off of me.
as much as it hurts, eventually, you need to rip that leach off, before you wither emotionally, psychologically, and financially.
This song really hits hard when you realise it’s not just a song, it’s a story
I found this song a month or so ago and it has both helped and pained me every time I hear it. I lost my dad to alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and this song so painfully captures the cycle I saw him fall into. I don’t know how to describe to people who haven’t been in that situation because whiskey is one hell of an opponent. I’m heartbroken for everyone who has lost someone to it, and so genuinely proud of anyone who is strong enough to pull themselves out of its grip. Thank you so much for this amazing song
The sad softness of the "...again" reminds me of the feeling I had when my mum used to drink and how as a kid it felt as natural as wrong. Then I learnt what a vicious thing addiction is, calling out again and again until one wields. My admiration goes to those who got sober, or are getting there, keep fighting.
This song is a beautiful anthem for people struggling with alcohol and the ones who love them, kudos.
Much soul and experience behind this song; take it from someone who has had his vices and lost people to vices, turn that sorrow to anger towards your vice and you'll overcome it so long as you truly want to end it.
It will be hard, it will hurt, but so long as you power through like a solider climbing a hill shrugging off every injury, you'll make it; no vice is worth losing yourself and those you love.
My general rule is if the music gives me goosebumps you've become a favorite forever. Almost all your songs so far have done this. I already loved this song and the video is a nice touch for the message as well as good advertising with that glass xD
There he goes again
Lost in the drink
The bottle's half empty
As he tries not to sink
There he goes again
He lost control again
The drink takes him down
Despair in his eyes
As he tries not to drown
There he goes again
She says
"Don't give in now"
"We still need you"
"I still need you around"
He says
"I don't know how"
"But I still need you"
"To save me somehow"
There he goes again
Worse for the wear
Empty glass, empty stare
And he tried to outrun his history
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
They tried
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today"
"See I tried"
"If anybody's listening"
But they're broken down now
As he lies in the ground
They tried
They just weren't stronger than the whiskey
There he goes again
Slave to the drink
The bottle's now empty
As he tries not to think
There he goes again
She says
"Don't give in now"
"We still need you"
"I still need you around"
He says
"I don't know how"
"But I still need you"
"To save me somehow"
There he goes again
Worse for the wear
Empty glass, empty stare
And he tried to outrun his history
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
They tried
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today"
"See I tried"
"If anybody's listening"
But they're broken down now
As he lies in the ground
He tried
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
This song makes me feel so much heartache. My father spent years sitting in the basement till the wee hours smoking cigarettes and drinking..he now has stage four lung cancer but now I see myself repeating history where I’m sitting in my back hall smoking blunts and drinking my whiskey while my husband falls asleep waiting for me. I feel like I’m stuck in this cycle and can’t break out no matter how much I want to. This song isn’t just a sad reminder of those years with my father and me waiting up for him to know he’s safe and a brutal wake up call for the road I’m going down
Edit: year later and I’ve finally stopped relying on whisky to help me sleep..still want to drink but I know if I have it in the house it’ll become a nightly habit again..the struggles real but we shall persevere!
This is heartbreaking. We all have our struggles and vices, but we also have to, for the sake of the people around us who love us, be the ones strong enough to break the cycle. We all can be the reason for change. Also, never be afraid to ask for help. Be vulnerable, wear your emotions on your sleeve, and let the ones who care about you most be your strength because ultimately, you're not alone. As a fellow human being, we all care about you.
hey, any updates? hopefully you have tried to fight back against the addictions.
@@PoorMansPoisonthank you! A year later and I’m doing decent..can’t lie of course the craving is still there but we’re pushing and persevering..thank you for your music and helping me open my eyes to the path I was traveling down!
I can't stop listening to this and the whole E.P
This video conjures up so many emotions for those who have seen it and many more for those who have lived it themselves. I pray those struggling are lucky enough to get that wake up call before you lose it all.
In the last month, I've lost a relative and a friend to cancer. Last Wednesday was the 2nd anniversary of my mother's death, again to cancer, and I've just heard that another friend has been diagnosed with throat cancer. To add to that, my childhood friend took his life last year. Despite months and months of therapy and grief counselling, I just haven't been able to process it all. I've gone all this time holding myself together to be there for other people. Tonight I put this song on and I just completely broke down. I've been crying for hours, like the dam holding everything back has finally burst. It hurts. It hurts so much. I've never felt pain like this before. but it feels like an incredible weight has been lifted. Thank you.
Y'all are honestly one of my favourite bands these days. I hope y'all can keep making great songs like you have been
I didn’t experience this with my dad. He died in a car wreck that hospitalized me too. My mom fell heavy into alcohol and it almost got her and myself killed. I feel so lucky that she didn’t turn out like the father in this song and im so thankful I found this song when I was having a really hard time dealing with her.
It took a lot but I managed to convince her she was indeed stronger than the whiskey. Thanks so much for your great music guys
This is one of the few songs I listen to that hit as close to home as it does. Both of my parents are heavy drinkers and it pushed me to the point of moving out at 16 the first chance I had, I'm 20 now and still haven't seen them since and only talk on occasional phone calls.
I'm sad because I discovered this band a few months ago. Where have you been my entire life? 😭
Another fantastic song. Good work lads. Lot of meaning and soul behind this one.
Such a sad and such a beautiful song.. I really love this new EP... please keep playing and making your awesome music :)
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It is just so powerful, so real, so relatable. I haven't had a song grab me like this in so long I'd forgotten what it was like. You guys are easily one of my favorite bands, and I just wanted to say thank you for the music you make, and how it is so different from most of the rest of the modern music world. Looking forward to more whenever you guys release it.
This is a well written telling of the disease. It is a terrible disease, much worse than people think they know. I lost my way. It took a terrible event, 5 weeks in a coma, months of therapy/recovery and the strength of my wife to stop my drinking. I have not had a sip since. it will be 5 years in July. Drinking took my mother, on my son's birthday only 1 year after I quit. I hadn't spoken to her in months. Be endlessly forgiving and strong with someone you love that has this disease. Hate the sin, love the sinner. You really do not understand just how important it is for you to be there in that one moment. Be a seatbelt. Save a life. That person you love is still in there, I promise.
I love seeing music bring out the dark side of drinking. I've had my share of nights drinking alone just because I could. My fiancée was the first one to call me out on having a problem. She almost left me last year because every time I would drink, it put her through hell. Not that I'm a bad, abusive drunk, but I always went over the limit and blacked out, waking up wondering what happened. It's been a journey, but I'm able to set a plan for myself, go out and have just one or two with friends and family. The urge is always there regardless though. Anyway.. thank you for this song. Talk about a tear-jerker.
As a 15 year old I take this as a warning

Que no se queden en pensar que su musica es de un solo pais!
Each Friday we listen to you guys all day and thank you guys for such lovely music much love from South Africa
I hate how much this personally hits
I used to have an alcohol problem during my teen years even if I got over it. And even then, the part that feels worse is I have a friend with depression and a massive dependency on liquor. He's a dad, but thankfully he's getting help from the local Church and with a therapist
We lost my little brother to alcohol. This song gets me (emotionless bastard, just ask my wife) everytime. It is beautiful and it always reminds me of tom and the times we had. Thank you for this piece and the meaning that I have placed in it. You have helped give what my thoughts were words.
I'm 14, the fact this song (and providence) is my favourite is saying something about me. This song stopped me from drinking as a minor. I am grateful to have heard this song
Oh my absolute God. This hits so hard & so personal to me. I have cirrhosis & have lost my family because of that demon in a bottle. I’m working like hell to be okay & get them back. I’m 88 days sober but man this song REALLY touched me. I’m literally crying because I feel like it was written for me.
thanks, you made me cry... love all your songs guys
I cried when I first heard this song... It reminds me of my own father who I lost to alcoholism.... But that never meant he wasn't a good person. He would give the shirt of his back to anyone in need. But he would kill you where you stood if you put his family in danger.
I'm glad my father found God and stopped the bad route he was on. It was all for my sister and it makes me really proud of him he's been sober for a year now could have lost him to drug and alcohol abuse of 20 years. We was doing drugs and drinking since before I was born. Always going to help him when he needs it like he did for me. And to anyone who wasn't as lucky as me gof bless y'all and wish y'all gods love
He just picked a worse route.
I don't think a song has hit me quite as hard as this. The conversations are almost word for word one's my mom and I have had with my dad. It's both terrifying and encouraging to know others have had this same experience.
Wow awesome just awesome they need to be on the radio if my friend didnt show me this band u wouldn't know bout these guys great job 👍👏 keep up the good work
Discovered this band through a youtube short audio, no regrets. This babd is so freaking underrated. Im surprised they haven’t blown up more
This song helped me realize how to grieve for my father. He’s not an alcoholic, but he is an addict. We fought like hell for his life and we also weren’t stronger than his versions of whiskey.
This song makes me cry in at least 3 different ways, thats the mark of a masterpiece
I am so thankfull to you guys, even now... You saved me and more I think, life broke me down and now I'm here, in the right place. Thank you so much even tho I am not from around, I almost died but it saved me. Thank you so much!
I'm an embalmer in a location with an above normal alcohol abuse rate. I've cared for hundreds of people who lost their lives to alcohol in various ways. I'll admit, I've become somewhat jaded, seeing the pain that families experience after, and seeing the terrible shape that the deceased tend to be in. Thank you for reminding me that the people in my care were trying.
Found you guys from "Hells coming with me" recently, been obsessed ever since.
Perfect 🇧🇷
This is part of my workout playlist. I make sure to time my heavy lifts to it. It makes me see the man who had no control, the man on his way to the grave. I tear up sometimes, but I push through the tears. I ain't that man anymore, I'm still not stronger than the whiskey, I still yearn for her touch. But for now we lift.
Miss you my guy
You played a real good role as the memeber of the popular band Poor man,s poison
We all will miss you🥲😭
I have to say i started listening to pmp just a few months ago with feed the machine and i really cant get enough. I LOVE YOU!
I remember getting so drunk all the time just to feel something inside of me to the point I became extremely sick. Almost lost my life, and almost lost my chance at my caring wife of 2 years. It was time to put it all down and realize my responsibilities to the people that love me. It took a lot of effort to stop, but hearing this song it makes me realize the emotions that others felt being around me. I hope that everybody has someone who loves them enough to beat the bottle. You are loved and I believe in you💚
I really like how these guys are making country music that's about something.
I was grooving to a southern Gothic playlist the other night. heard hell's coming with me and similar songs.
7 songs later this played & kicked me in the chest. I grew up without my father because he wasn't strong enough.
Powerful message there boys. Great job. Adrianna, the boys & I says hey. 👊🏼
Such a heart touching song. Reminds me of my mom who ruined her life from drugs. I still remember how healthy and happy she was before using drugs and then only remembers her lifeless body,died due to drug overdose.
It is hard to believe that she never let me and my sister to try drugs or alcohol. Always kept away and spooked us in childhood. Thanks to her,we never thought to consume it. Sorry for my bad English.
It's a cruel twist of fate that the cigarettes and lung cancer are what got my dad, he drank a handle a day like it didn't phase him and drove better drunk than sober. I miss him like hell and this song still hits me hard every time but I love this song and listening to you guys and I'm sorry for your loss.
So many of God's children suffer needlessly because of sin through the enemies deceit. God is for us with His whole heart and willing that none of us suffer (like Jesus did). We all need babysitting from Him we are His. May God bless more and happy Easter:)
Dang this song gives me the chills!
Please keep releasing music i love them please dont quit
I haven't had a really good cry in a long time, thank you
This song always reminds me of my dad. Its not exactly the same, he died from heart complications at the hospital because he lied about being on meth. But the sentiment always really hits me, that no matter how much better he was doing without that stuff, or how he would make good money at a job that was working out without it, or how much happier i was to see him not all strung out, he still just couldn’t keep it up. When he died I was cleaning out his truck and had to have found a handful of 1 month sober chips, because he just couldn’t stop.
Love the song guys and the message as a kid I grew up with my dad and uncle get drunk and fighting every weekend now my dad's sober and my uncles walking the golden streets in the sky as he had a fatal stroke when I was 12
As person that experienced a close life long relationship with an alcoholic, they have to admit they have a problem and then fight the huge battle to recovery. I finally had to disrupt my financially secure life for peace and tranquillity after many years and walk away. It still breaks my heart. For all of you out there struggling with addiction or with a loved one, I feel your pain.
This song reminds me of when I almost destroyed the relationship with my Wife and children. I was in the military and abusing Medication to get high and my Wife was pleading me to stop. I was so high my son who was 3 at the time noticed something was wrong with Daddy. I remember he had tears in his eyes and he came up and gave me a hug and said "I love you Daddy." I broke down so hard and sobbed. I ended up going and getting help and am doing a lot better. I never want to be down that path again.
Это очень круто, сильно и вообще, вы один из моих любимых исполнителей! Группы, которые все еще выпускают музыку в потобном жанре (блюграсс, кантри) можно по пальцам пересчитать
Wow guys! I'm a late comer to your stuff. This hits like a hammer.
This song gets me through every day man
This is an amazing song. I want to share it with my husband who just a month ago lost his brother to alcoholism. (I will have to wait until the rawness subsides a bit though) If you had released this song just a couple weeks ago, I would think that you had known my brother-in-law personally and had written it about him and his wife and son. It’s an exact description of his struggles. Thank you for this song! It is such an important message for people to hear!
I'm listening now. Hell's coming with me made me aware of your presence, please make more songs.
Lost my dad to his vices this year. I don't know if anyone misses him but me, but this one hit pretty close to home.
You guys and this song are great. After losing my mom I’m in the thick of it now but I’ll get through.
Alcoholism runs in my family on boths sides.
I almost lost my dad to the bottle.
I struggle myself but I swore to myself to never go down that path.
I've never been this early for a video. It was posted 16 minutes ago
...thank you
I really love your music guys ...but this one hits me so hard
Holy Shi….. this is so deep
Well done PMP, you guys are changing the world a song at a time 🤘🏼♥️
Swore an oath when I was really little to never ever start drinking. Absolutely no regrets about staying sober.
I did the same. I also include smoking.
@@aliamvickersfan2388 Mood
I never got to meet my Grandpa. He was a drinker. He was at a party and dove into a pool, breaking his neck and paralyzing him from the shoulders down. My Grandma chose to stay with him, however; he became a Christian and gave up alcohol and lived several happiest years of his life before he went home to be with Jehovah in Heaven. This song reminds me of the stories my Grandma would share about bad experiences with him and alcohol. I know his life became very difficult after being paralyzed, but I'm glad. He gave up the alcohol and became a truly good man. I'm only sad I never got the opportunity to form a relationship with him.
Unfortunately I'm not stronger than the whiskey, but I'm glad I found this band
Keep trying.
Great lyric video for a great song
Sitting here bawling. I’ve seen this so many times it hurts.
Amo suas músicas!!!!!
