  • Original music video from K's Choice for Not An Addict.
    Breath it in and breath it out
    and pass it on it's almost out
    We're so creative and so much more
    We're high above, but on the floor
    It's not a habit, it's cool
    I feel alive
    If you don't have it your on
    the other side
    The deeper you stick it in your vein
    The deeper the thoughts there's no more pain
    I'm in heaven, I'm a god
    I'm everywhere, I feel so hot
    It's not a habit, it's cool
    I feel alive
    If you don't have it your on
    the other side
    I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
    Oohoo (8x)
    It's over now, I'm cold, alone
    I'm just a person on my own
    Nothing means a thing to me
    Oh, nothing means a thing to me
    It's not a habit, it's cool
    I feel alive
    If you don't have it your on
    the other side
    I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
    Free me, leave me
    Watch me as I'm going down
    Free me, see me
    Look at me I'm falling
    And I'm falling.........
    It is not a habit, it is cool
    I feel alive I feel.......
    It is not a habit, it is cool
    I feel alive
    It's not a habit, it's cool
    I feel alive
    If you don't have it your on
    the other side
    I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
    I'm not an addict, I'm not an addict, I'm not an addict.

    Here in 2022 🙋🏼‍♀️ I heard this for the first time a few weeks ago..it changed me. I didn’t want to accept it, but after 10 years of substance abuse I made the call to get the help I need. I’ve been sober since 1/22/22. Reading these comments give me so much hope for my future. You are all amazing!

    One of my very best friends overdosed and died yesterday. She introduced me to this song. We used to belt it out on our knees at our sober house years ago. Now I listen to it alone.....talk about goosebumps. I know she will be with me every time I listen to this. Music is and was so near and dear to our relationship. RIP Kara K.

      Sorry to hear that. Truth is, that we all have some kind of demon that directs us how to go. Addiction is very obvious. We understand our weakness and see it as a way to forgo our own responcibility to try and change this dark world. We know it is wrong, but for some of us, this world is just too much to bare.
      This is a dog eat dog world and some of us are so sensitive to that insanity we must medicate to turn away from that hurting felt in us and expressed on to our fellow human. At least, that is the way for me. I know it is wrong, but I cant help myself.
      For you and your sister, I just can't say. For me, however, those calling light for dark and dark for light are trapped in a spiritual conundrum for which there is rearly reprieve. I am all alone in these United States. Our union is going to fracture again. Sorry for the spealing.
      Peace dear one. I plan to drink to the end. The pain has grown to much to bear and those that supply that incongruity are showing no sigh of backing off. Such is the way of life some times.
      Your post is beautiful. Today I think I can dring just a little less

      @@БорянаВанева Yeah... mostly self help bullshit. Life is shit. Yes, it is a pretty well crafted structure, the amount of combinations and diversity of structures, organisms, types of creatures and different things, it's all quite puzzling and technically amazing. Sometimes, some of these things feel nice, seem awesome and beautiful, it feels like it is worth it. Some music have that effect (not this one... this song is ok music wise, and the lyrics make it interesting and unique). But life is still shit. But our brain, well, most people's brain's, come equipped with some type of *care* , for things and people, on different levels. It's mostly NOT YOUR CHOICE. just like psychopaths don't choose to like to murder and mutilate people. When I was a kid I got impressed and traumatized easily. Even porn (when I was areal kid, like 9, 10 , 11) made me a little disturbed and traumatized. Nowadays I can watch a video of a person being mutilated to death and have no reaction at all. I mean, not any relevant neurochemical reaction. But still, I don't like it. I still find it all disgusting, I just find everything somewhat disgusting all the time. It is not that awful things don't disturb me, I sort of trained myself to get used to disturbing things, simply because they have always existed and are everywhere. That part of my brain is there, minimized to some extent, much less active. I kinda wish it would just go away and I felt zero empathy for anyone. And anyone who might think I have a problem should study a little bit, not too much, just a little bit, about world history, wars, capital punishment. Or simply go to certain places.
      Life is something that should have not existed. So many psychopaths have entered history as heroes. I wish I had no feeling about anything, like killing someone and fuck it, just like stepping on an ant and didn't even realize. Emotions are bull shit.

      Fent will never go away to easy 2 make. Either we offer safe NOT SUPER ADDICTING alternatives like suboxone that locks ppl in for like. Instead offer natural.poppy tea etc and put thr drug war money into rehabs amd programs to help those who want/need help. There will always be "junkies" who any substance will destroy their life, but the stigma means most addicts r functioning silent and scared. If we make ppl edicated on risks and offer safe regulated alternatives to adults and educate kids on why skydiving/ trying opioids is dangerous but as an adult u can take damgerous risks if you choose

      @@think4tomorrow79 They're fantastic. From this I bought the album, from the album, I got ALL their albums.
      I truly never understood it. There are so many bands out there with "one hit" but people never look past the song to see there are more hidden gems on the album (or other albums). It's a shame.
      Another band (though they are from the US) was Concrete Blonde. Awesome band with many great albums but "Joey" is the song everyone knows.

That was after it killed dozens of friends and family including my sister & brother. I guess you have to struggle through it to understand.

I'm a proud Mummy of a Gastroschisis Warrior, every now and then I play this song and I remember those days Cleary drowning in my tears, I'm happy to say I'm addicted to my faith.

      I was born with Gastroschisis in 1984. I always have been fascinated with other peoples belly buttons, because I technically never had one, just a scar. Did he ever have any complications with it in his life? I have lots of stomach issues and am afraid to have kids because of the scar tissue and the fact that they already stretched my skin. Anyway this is a good song, was addicted to it in HS!

    The struggle is real believe you me. For me it was self medicating because of underlying issues. However, I can say that I am on the other side of most of it now. Therapy, faith, Crossfit and eating healthy does wonders. For all those struggling know that you are not alone that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep strong and stay safe.

The guilt from my relapses makes me hurt so much when I listen to this song... but it helps keep me clean. Facing the truth is something drugs never allowed me to do. The truth is something I want now. Not something I run from anymore. Good luck everyone I know you can do it. Love is the answer!
