    I listen to this every morning. Im 2 years clean of meth, 3 years clean of heroin, 1 year clean of coke, and 9 months sober from a half gallon of whiskey a day. I honestly can relate to this. Every day I'm greatlul for that i don't use or drink.
    Edit: Thank you for all the love. You are all my inspiration to stay sober. I love you all ❤❤
    I honestly didn't know how much love and support I'd get from you all. Thank you all for the kind words and support! I wish i could just meet you all and give each and every one of you a big hug. I love you all! ❤❤👊☺❤🤗

    I have been sober from IV heroin addiction for 6 yrs now 🎉❤😊 I prayed to Jesus to please scare me away from the 💉!!! The next day I sat there for hrs and I didn't prick myself once and NEVER again after that 🎉!!! Please my brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering please turn to Jesus! For me, the hard times i went through with addictions and traumas brought me to Jesus! Usually, we find him at rock bottom! I survived all those OD's and scary situation's because God has a plan for me...Just like he has with all of you! God bless and know that its NEVER to late to turn to Christ no matter what you have done! 💯 Repent in Jesus name every night! Pray for your enemies because it brings them to the light! If i can do this i promise anyone can!! God bless you all ❤❤❤

Most can’t even do a day! See your stronger than you think !! I don’t know if you believe in God but pray he will help. God will never put on you more than you can handle that’s a promise it’s in the Bible. So you can beat this! It’s only the devil trying to keep you down he wants you to keep taking until you lose it all then your life.. Remember it can’t always be bad. You gotta hit the ground sometimes but guess what ?

      Read the Bible, talk to God, seek him and I promise he will deliver the strength to you to stay off the bs. Have true and real faith. I promise it's not silly, he is real, powerful and he will work in your life to get you back on his path. You can do this! You are strong, just live like yesterday no longer exists. You are new and each day is a new day to forget better yourself. Stay strong!
      Sometimes it's good to shed the old life. You may miss those friends now but they aren't what you need in your life. Take this time to get to know yourself better and find a life you can find happiness in without the drink. I lost everyone and felt so alone. With Jesus I lost that loneliness over time, I have found myself, a life I enjoy, and new friends. The true ones will come back around if they are there. My oldest friend is back in my life and now Jesus is working in his life. He could see the change in me and I think he wanted what I was feeling. I told him it's because I have found my Lord. I think he's coming around to learning he needs to seek Jesus himself. Try it. I mean what's the harm. A better life? A wonderful relationship with Jesus? Salvation?

      You maintain by realizing you are valuable. Every day adds up. 1 day turns into 2, then it hits 7days, and that's a week followed by 30days and that's a month. Then they just keep adding up till you hit a year, and then keep going. August makes 6 years me for me with no alcohol, and trust me there has been many temptations along the way, just have to hold the faith in yourself and God(if you believe)

    Drinking cost me a 17 year relationship, my dignity, pride, self respect and almost my life.
    1 year and 159 days later and I'm still counting days... but I'm also still breathing. Instead of counting Tallboys I'm counting reps in the gym. Instead of running from my problems I'm running miles.
    I don't have millions of dollars. Hell, I don't even have that many friends. But, for the first time in almost 2 decades I'm proud of who I am and where I'm headed.

But I also have other issues that contribute to the pain. So my doctor and I have been talkin for a long time about what to do, and I still don’t know. They say I can stay on it forever bc of the other issues causing the pain, but I never wanted that. We all just gotta figure out what’s right for us.

Suboxone saved my life from the constant battle with my brain chemistry from the severe opiod use disorder. Now i have to overcome letting go of that demon, (Suboxone) which is just as painful as the other.

      Congrats! My mother used to do these back when I was in 3rd grade and my brother was in kindergarten cause my parents got in a huge fight, my mom did all this and worst almost died! Had to live with my grandma for a year. Not having her kids made her wanna quit and so she did, she’s now going to be 6 years clean this year! So I understand how bad these hardcore drugs are and the alcohol as my grandma died last August from bad intestines from smoking and alcohol a whole ton in his early life. I’m happy for you! Stay clean times may be tough but it always gets better!

    I’m a 44 year old Christian tropical white mom. My tattooed up, son just gave his life to Jesus Sunday. I’ve spent the last week locked away with him while he detoxed from drugs and alcohol…he went through hell! Tonight after church he said, “I’m gonna start weaning off nicotine “. God shaved 10 years of self hate and self destruction of my son in 10 min on his knees.

    Man this song gives me chills. I lost so much throughout my addiction. My job I had for 15 years, Got arrested, went to rehab numerous times, lost friends, My family didn't want nothing to do with me, Overdosed, Blew through A LOT of money and just about lost my life. I've been clean now for almost 17 months off of Meth, Crack, Cocaine, Pills/Alcohol. I'm thankful that I decided to finally get well, I never gave up but it wasn't easy at all. To anyone going through it I understand and we do recover if you want it bad enough. Only you can do it though. Nobody's going to do it for you. Thank you for this song and it's a Masterpiece, I really dig it. God bless those struggling, I feel you, Don't give up, Never give up.

    Hey Tom. My name is Adam, I’ve been dealing with social anxiety my whole life. I’ve dealt with overwhelming shame and felt like I never belong. Your music is helping me find my voice and embrace who I am instead of running from him. This song is my anthem, I’ve cried to it multiple times because it gives me power that I haven’t had on my own and your bravery opening up about your issues is helping me do the same. This is allowing me to own who I am and release all the bullshit shame I’ve been dealing with. Love you brother keep doing what you’re doing you’re helping people for sure!

      Adam, there certainly is something truly amazing that takes place , when you hear music that comes from truth . Your inner knowing resonates so profoundly , it just sneaks up on you , and you realise that you have introduce yourself to Man who you now are . The letting go of all those things from the Man you thought you were , easily occurs when you are the Man you are today. To be in the present is never achieved by some . It takes bravery to release. To be or not to be that is the Question. I figured out To be is the answer, just like you have my friend.

    Hi Tom I am a therapist and I am contacting you because I have just come across your incredibly passionate, well timed, powerful testimonies regarding many important issues. I work with homeless men struggling with addiction and mental health issues and they continually told me to check out this rapper that talks about real life issues and doesn’t glamorize evil. As a disabled veteran and heart transplant recipient I found more insight and wisdom in your poetry than I have in many other areas. God bless you and your family 🕊

      Being in a group of armed people going into countries without an infrastructure for politicians who blatantly lied is like a bunch of lions fighting a single dog. Under this circumstances you even left as the loser. Does it feel like still being a man or did you finally realize that was pretty soft? Just wondering.

    on day 6 of heroin withdrawal. still can’t sleep through the night, took like 5 baths to try and calm my restless body but couldn’t find anything to calm my restless mind. scrolled through my TH-cam recommendations and my higher power placed this song here for me to listen to on repeat to remind me that the battle is never over but it’s possible to get through, it gets better and im not alone. don’t ever cry like I need to but this shit brought me to tears. i needed this. thank you.
