My mom overdosed many times, she finally lost.. maybe won to some. I was a little girl, always seeing her struggling to be happy and at peace; she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Most messed up too. She tried to be happy sober, but she couldn't. Lost touch over some years when my friends parents took me in at 13. Last 10 years of her life she looked 30 years older. April 4th, 2 years ago my little sister found her on the bathroom floor, fetal position. Cold and alone but free. Cause of death: fentanyl/ lethal levels of neurontin/ lethal levels of benzos...I spoke at her memorial service, and it was hard to find words to honor her life, as I'd only ever known her sadness.. depression, and nodding out. I spoke of her beauty, her beautifully manicured natural nails and hands. Her amazing smile, and her eclectic love of amazing music, from classic rock to Otis Redding. I always swore I would never be sad or depressed, or angry and alone like her.. older I get, the more I see myself in her. Patterns are a bitch. Had I heard this song before today, I would have just played it as her eulogy. It stopped me in my tracks. I thought of her, of everyone that I know and don't know in the struggle. I cried. And cried😳 it brought out emotions that I keep buried. Idk why I wrote a book here, sometimes it's just better to let it out to a bunch of strangers on TH-cam who may or may not relate.. anyway, new favorite. Not much makes me feel anymore, so I have a genuine appreciation for music that does 😍 Thinking of everyone that can relate to this song, in one way or another.
A lot of people are in the same situation. You should be proud of all your accomplishments! My full condolences to you and your family! May GOD BLESS YOU and give you comfort at your most hardest days when you think about your Mommy and why she had a rough life and everything else that comes to mind that questions your life! Stay SUPER STRONG, YOU GOT THIS!!! Sending you huge hugs and I hope you find yourself HAPPY!!🥰💚
As you can see many people can relate to your story. I am a recovering alcoholic, I know it's not the same as meth. But alcohol is a bitch too. I have been sober for 30 years. Anyway, you sound like you have your head on straight. Keep it that way. You know what can happen when you let your guard down. Personally, what has kept me clean is a healthy dose of fear. I know if I just tried to drink in moderation I would be right back to where I was in 1989. You can help others as well. God bless you.
Christie I hope you get this I can relate it wasn't my mother I'm very blessed to have her but I did lose family to this horrible disease of alcohol and drugs I myself have been sober since April 8th 1993 you got this girlI've lost a lot of family to this I lost lots of friends to this it sucks 😔😿😢😔😔😞😿😞 but you got this Christie you're beautiful loved and blessed you're a strong woman Satan is a liar my God Don't Make junk I love you Sissy I'm praying for I hope you got a sponsor a female sponsor what the steps and help others you got this girl 💗😂😂 amen one more time for my sis Kristie you are beautiful loved and blessed and my God our God Don't Make junk most importantly honey he will never leave you nor forsake you and he's always 125 thousand percent got your back now can I get an amen sister all right I love you sis peace out 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎😎😎

I knew a girl like this , it was the summer of 1980 . She never made it to 30 and now I am 54 and I still think of her every day and wonder what could have been .
@@tylershelton2697 aye man I do too well she already has but aye go to her say I think me and you should both try to go to God yk both of y’all together doesn’t mean you have to go to church bc js bc you go don’t mean nun the relationship with God gotta be between you Nd him Nd Jesus no one else repent Nd go to him and don’t be scared know God got you man and your girl don’t gotta trust in me but trust in him
One of the best songs ever made. Addiction is hard to overcome, nobody needs to do it alone... Being sober, is one of the best thing I ever decided to do for myself.
The struggle is real. Been clean for 10 years and still have my moments. When i hurd this song i new it was meant for me and it helps with the struggles. This song will never get old and i was so glade to get to see them in concert back in september
Nothing worse than watching the one you love fade away from addiction...leaves you powerless and suffering right along side them. Good luck to all who fight their demons daily.
This song reminds me of my dad... he’d be doing Crystal since I was young and when my brother was born. This also reminds me of my ex too who has the same addiction... I wish I could talk to them the same again.
I don’t know anyone personally going through addiction like this but… this is one of the most beautifully written and heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard. I can’t stop listening.
My mother struggles with addiction, it's taken everything from her (she doesn't even look the same anymore)she not the same person anymore. This song will always make me think of her & where I could've been as well. I am 6 years sober thanks to my Grandma and siblings and my boyfriend. I hope one day she decides enough is enough and we will get to spend what little time we have left with her on solid ground. But like I said even when she is sober she isn't even the same person anymore, the damage is unfortunately always going to be there , she has had multiple strokes. I don't think we will see that day. But I have hope. I cry Everytime I hear this song and avoid it most days because of that. This is a song I feel so deeply in my soul it's just unmatched. Thankyou to the artist. & Thankyou to everyone who decided to be vulnerable and share their story.
I fight my own addiction. Been clean 4 years. But I've lost so many. The love of my life is still out there running. I expect the call any day hope she finds her way out before this song is for her.
Tonya Smith you gotta away from it. Its evil no way around it. And once you go down that road once and you get off it you can never go back down it. You already know where it's gonna lead. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Eric Storks ive been clean of crystal meth for 3 yrs. it was the worse and hardest thing to come off of but i got through it. and i did it with all the help of my kids and my family.
Gary Bunch ice was a bitch to come off of. Like you my son saved my life. Hope your still staying strong. Can never look back. That road will only take us 2 places and either will have our children waiting.
@@shandipickett great. Very happy you are. Lost a few around me that were not close, one who is and trying to get her straight. It will come, just don't take anyone to have someone. Take care lil darlin
You are a warrior, not many say they have been to hell and won. I just seen this post was from 2 years ago and reading that you commented a short time ago keeps my faith humanity.. prayers for you sweets!
You're not alone baby. I'm almost 40 and this song breaks my heart so much reminded me of who I used to be. And who are potentially still am. Keep fighting. Even if you're alone just know that you're worth it for yourself. Took me too many years to understand that.
I’m currently working on my sobriety staying clean and keeping strong are very hard, but what makes my mind stay strong is thinking of my little boys who needs their Daddy strong and healthy. God Bless all stay strong, fight the fight. I Love You All.
Keep pushing!! I know it's been a year, and hope you are still on the path!! I had 6years sober in November! Best decision of my life , things get hard of course and I'm not perfect but I keep pushing for my siblings and my granny and boyfriend. My mother is still in active addiction and I think of her every and still have hope. Sobriety isn't all smiles and laughs. Times get touch really tough with the way the world is but going back is not an option for me anymore. Lots of love to you and I'm proud of you
I’ve lived in rural America all my life, this is the first song I heard that addresses hardship that happens out here. People tend to think country folk live in a fairytale land, but we have trials and tribulations of our own.
I just heard this song for the first time tonite and omg how it hits home...the tears keep rolling down my cheeks........ I've been down that road many times and have family and friends doing the same..... It's so sad when something can grab hold of you so fast and take over like pills, meth, alcohol .... I don't think any of us woke up one day and said "I wanna be a drug addict.....but yet here we are. It's such a bad disease that is so hard to overcome. listening to this song has made me want to share it with everyone I know that is struggling with addiction with hopes and prayers to help us all...
This song shows how talented and in touch with reality that this band is. Besides being an awesome southern rock band, they are obviously experienced in addiction and its devastating aftermath. I pray for everyone.. the ones who fight it as well as the ones who submit to it..Every life matters. This song isnt sad or depressing..The reality of how many terrific individuals who are living and dying the lyrics of the song is what's heart wrenching. I've embraced my own personal demons for so long till they often feel like old friends..And trust me, they arent..that's real talk right there. The saddest part of the equation is that so many of us are broken, scarred, battered, and bruised from things in our past till we search for something to ease our pain..the problem with drugs is after years of abuse, the numbing sensation eludes you and now you not only have the same reoccurring feelings from the past but also a nasty addiction to go along with it. We should have reached for our bibles and left the glass pipe alone. But hind sight is always 20/20. God bless the losers, the over achievers, and and everyone in between. Truth is noone gets out of here alive and none of us are without sin. Just keep the faith and be grateful that Jesus believee we are worth saving. God bless us all.
Brought me to tears first time hearing this... Instantly made me think of my dad ... Lost him over 2 years ago from addiction he was one of the sweetest kindest people I know.but was in a battle for his life. Struggled with addiction since he was 16. We laid a blue rose in his casket.
SO GOOD, GOLDEN, HEART-RENDING AND HAUNTING! 😁😁😁😁😁😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀👼👼👼👼👼🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔👫👫👫👫👫👦👦👦👦👦👧👧👧👧👧👨👨👨👨👨👩👩👩👩👩👴👴👴👴👴👵👵👵👵👵💎💎💎💎💎🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺💃💃💃💃💃💵💵💵💵💵😈😈😈😈😈🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Heart wrenching song. I think we all know someone that we loved that was self destructive and we couldn't do anything about it but watch the tragedy unfold before our eyes.
I live in an area where Heroin abuse has decimated our county's population. My little sister is addicted to it & every time my phone rings, I wonder if this gonna be "that phone call". I share this video weekly in hopes that at least 1 addict listens to the words & reaches out for hope. Going to see these guys 2/23/18 @ Rusty Spur in Ft. Wayne, IN and sadly enough, THIS is the song I most wanna hear
this song hits me very hard. I'm losing the love of my life to this devil. Been together 12 yrs married 11 and have 3 beautiful kids together. we've never spent one night apart since the day we met until first week of January this year. she had been running with the wrong girls and drinking and they got her doing it with them. it hit ahold of her so fast. she reached out for help called rehab centers and everything because she knew it had its grip on her already. 6wks wait was the soonest opening. well she held on for about a week and left. it got to her and I tried to stop her. now she's gone. living with the dealer. my heart is fucking broken. she's 36 yrs old and had open heart surgery when she was 30 and when she was 33 was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. she's not even the same person right now. and I don't know how long her body will handle this abuse with her health conditions. it has ripped our family apart. she hasn't seen the kids in over a month. she was a good wife a good mommy and a good person. this has turned her into a monster.
Been sober from meth for 13 months. Satan had me as long as I was making the easy choice to continue to use. Once I started making the tough choice daily to resist the urges and keep busy with work and studying scripture, the devil left me alone. When I walk with God, he loses his power. Satan has been defeated. Jesus defeated him and now Jesus reigns. Follow Jesus as your lord and grow with him and you will be amazed at where he takes you. I am.
God bless you 🙏 Prayers and love A father so caring and so loving. We don't always understand his intentions although it always seems to come out with love and grace. Definitely a incomprehensible love but we know when you have found the lord that YOU ARE LOVED Take care brother
...and the Night went down, covering the Tears of Loneliness - She was gone, just like a Flickering Light, Disappearing Beyond the Veil of Night, embraced by the trees and Lifted by the Howling Wind...
Absolutely beautiful this song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it this song will b hard to beat its got so much meaning to it its just beautiful n means a lot ppl struggling with meth addiction should listen to it it might change there view of life
I hit the pipe the first time in Nov after my dad passed ...it was love at first sight ...three months later I am down thirty pounds amd stay one track minded ...and this song really hits me ...it's a sad amd beautiful song....I thought you should know
I fight my addictions everyday be clean 3 years in may and have recently been diagnosed with life risking cirrhosis quit drinking hard years ago but now this has finally caught up with me just keep your head up and never let these bad things in life get you down in my worst of times I thought I was only doing harm to myself after being sober for some time now I finally realized I hurt everyone around me as well that was watching me destroy myself thank God I'm still here to tell my stories
It will be five years this August clean for me. But I can't shake this depression. I thought there would be light at the end of that dark tunnel but there isn't. My heart goes out to all of you
Damn! This song.. After Many Years I Come Across This Song. I felt like the guy in the song at one time. She was just a good friend.For me it was love at first site when I seen her. Years pasted one day we where having lunch and unexpectedly she came out and kissed me.Since then I took her and showed her what I seen in my eyes.I saved her from the muddy water and drug addiction I took her from the Devil she made the deal with..To this Day I’m Glad To See Her By My Side Every Morning When I Open My Eyes. I Tell Her daily I Love Her..I’m A Lucky Man With A Beautiful Wife Now.💙🙏🏽❤️
God Bless you both..... They say we all have a guardian angel and you truly are here....hope you have a blessed, wonderful long life together. There is still hope for some of us by listening to your story.... Thank you!!!
I just stumbled on this song on the anniversary of my friend's death from an overdose. It's not my usual type of music but it worked its way into my heart and reminded me once again that love, no matter how powerful, can't heal some wounds. I lost him, but I still believe in the healing power of love because that was his gift to me, knowing I was loved. So his death gave me life and I gave him love. It has become, after all these years, finally enough. We're even now. Thank you for posting it.
This song.....RIP Leo. I'll miss you the rest of my days. And to Darrell, may you realize you are good. And loved and you can fight it. I love you both
Sad Sad Sad..... God Bless Everyone fighting these battles. Try to get it through to yourself this is the only life you have try to climb out of that hole and give yourself a chance to be loved. Love, B-Bro
My brother struggles every day. He’s the best guy deep inside there but he lost his kids and is now living with us. He’s gotten a lot better but I come home to him high a lot still. He feels every down and is stuck ina bad cycle. I pray for him and everybody else in these comments ❤️
I have been here! Quit the shit fell off wagon. Ended up in hospital with heart failure. Loved now off it for good. My husband still on it. Left him. My grandson is my rock!
I love this song I have someone going down the same path in my life and its hell but she isnt ready for help I send her this song every day I cant wait to catch a show and meet you

What?!!!!!???? WoW well I hope to clean now sis oh my God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I'm definitely going to pray I don't even know what to say to that I've been sober 27 years I guess what what. I had my dog for 15 years I loved her she was awesomeI would have stabbed people in the throat in the face all over their body for that dog I would have walked into the police station and the town and took out every mother f***** there for that but I will not get drunk or high over that dog because my dog love me more than that my dog would be rolling over in her grave if I got drunk or hi over her she sat through many a sober parties I had with her anyway I'm going to pray for you sis that's what I'm going to doI've been sober 27 years and I've heard a lot of f******stories lottery is why people got f***** up I feel for you girl I do come on and pray that you're sober right nowam I pray you have a sponsor right now that you're working a step right now and that you're trying to help someone else stay sober right now because your life is worth more than that you're beautiful loved and blessed my God Don't Make trash you girl are not trash just know that I love you sister I'm going to pray for you right 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you got this girl you can stay sober your animal would want it for you I know God wants I know everybody that's reading this message I'm sending wants it for you ☺️😃😃😃😃😃😃
Very beautiful song .. Hollywood was a struggle for me with a meth problem, I was lucky to over come . It's been 20 years I had to move the east coast to over come . And cant vist California or the mid west for that matter its diffnelty a devils drug .
You are so right on that..... This devil drug has consumed so many of us in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia..... And you are right about having to move away and stay away..... It's sad but true.....
Love of my life facing prison. One minute I'm mad. Next I'm sad. These stories make me so sad. The lost potential is unbearable. Dont know is ever will recover.
I gave the epitaph to my wife's brother's funeral.... then 3 years later I did the same as I laid my wife low, baby I tossed a rose. HEATHER, never forgotten always LOVED

It's sad that this song registers with so many of us, the words of the song reminds me of my high school girlfriend.its like this song was written about her 😥
I helped my gf overcome her addiction to self harm. We had been childhood friends/lovers but I got busy with life and feel I left her and I particularly blame myself for how she turned out because I was the only one she had growing up. But now we’ve been together almost a year and we are both a lot happier and life couldn’t seem to get any better.
This song really hits me. I can't help but think my good friend from high school saw and felt the lyrics to this song with the woman he loved. He dealt with her addiction but she always seemed to take and take. It took it's toll on him over the years. She wound up killing herself in a car accident while high...and he seemed to blame himself. I talked to him over the years and life just seemed to beat him down. I never got the feeling he was battling addiction but just life. She had taken everything he had worked for and smoked/snorted/injected it up. He came to me hoping I had answers about a year ago. All I could do was try to help him with words of encouragement. I didn't have any answers for his depression. He had two beautiful daughters to take care of and I'd hoped pointing that out would make him fight. I guess all of those demons were too much and he took his own life a few months later. It haunts me that I didn't have an answer for him.
Just wanted to say...Outstanding job on this video ...I have always wanted to ask someone though ...Doesnt the harmonica at the beginning of the song make you think of a old lonesome train off in the distance ? Maybe its just me but every time I hear this song I think of that train :)
Andrea Waters check them out live. I saw them in concert. he plays harmonica, sings and plays guitar all at the same time. It's a sight to see. he's a hell of a musician.
Ive been struggling with my addiction for years nothing that is good is left for me to experience. All that left with my divorce in 2015. To anyone and everyone that knows me i bid you a fine farwell and i love you all in your own special way. Love skipper Adair
This song hits so hard.This describes myself to a t except I’m not a substance addict but I have the personality of an addict with some addictive behaviors such as being addicted to people who don’t feel the same way about me as I do them.I totally live with the depression as well.My heart goes out to everyone struggling ❤️we all deserve to be loved and feel loved

In a messed up way.... that's beautiful
One of the best songs ever made. Addiction is hard to overcome, nobody needs to do it alone... Being sober, is one of the best thing I ever decided to do for myself.
Just wanted to say, I hope your still sober. 6 years for me now. Best thing ever. Stay strong.
Same here with a good job building everything back that I lost… we got this!!
I go for you
Idk why i got sober anymore
This song was a wake up call
Nothing worse than feeling this song was written about you. The struggle is real.
Kari Snyder ...I feel ya girl....
Yes it is It it REAL The STRUGGLE
That's for sure
The struggle is real. Been clean for 10 years and still have my moments. When i hurd this song i new it was meant for me and it helps with the struggles. This song will never get old and i was so glade to get to see them in concert back in september
Please return to the woman i knew.
Nothing worse than watching the one you love fade away from addiction...leaves you powerless and suffering right along side them. Good luck to all who fight their demons daily.

Reminds me of how I just got out of an addiction after over dosing. I'm 15 and I feel alone sometimes, but this song makes me feel like I'm not alone

I an't fighting for shit. I'm fixing to go get HIGH right now.
*KEEP ON STEADY!* 😁😁😁😁😁😎😎😎😎😎😭😭😭😭😭✊✊✊✊✊💖💖💖💖💖🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
I’ve lived in rural America all my life, this is the first song I heard that addresses hardship that happens out here. People tend to think country folk live in a fairytale land, but we have trials and tribulations of our own.
I just heard this song for the first time tonite and omg how it hits home...the tears keep rolling down my cheeks........ I've been down that road many times and have family and friends doing the same..... It's so sad when something can grab hold of you so fast and take over like pills, meth, alcohol .... I don't think any of us woke up one day and said "I wanna be a drug addict.....but yet here we are. It's such a bad disease that is so hard to overcome. listening to this song has made me want to share it with everyone I know that is struggling with addiction with hopes and prayers to help us all...
Did you hear it on coast to coast a.m. radio.. I just heard it there for the first time..I thought it was Tom petty
Nevermind I heard it on 660am radio a navajo radio station
A lot of friends lost to meth..and they tried to drag me down with them..but my demon is alcohol and it's definitely killing me
This song definitely got to me
This song definitely got to me
This song shows how talented and in touch with reality that this band is. Besides being an awesome southern rock band, they are obviously experienced in addiction and its devastating aftermath. I pray for everyone.. the ones who fight it as well as the ones who submit to it..Every life matters. This song isnt sad or depressing..The reality of how many terrific individuals who are living and dying the lyrics of the song is what's heart wrenching. I've embraced my own personal demons for so long till they often feel like old friends..And trust me, they arent..that's real talk right there. The saddest part of the equation is that so many of us are broken, scarred, battered, and bruised from things in our past till we search for something to ease our pain..the problem with drugs is after years of abuse, the numbing sensation eludes you and now you not only have the same reoccurring feelings from the past but also a nasty addiction to go along with it. We should have reached for our bibles and left the glass pipe alone. But hind sight is always 20/20. God bless the losers, the over achievers, and and everyone in between. Truth is noone gets out of here alive and none of us are without sin. Just keep the faith and be grateful that Jesus believee we are worth saving. God bless us all.
Brought me to tears first time hearing this... Instantly made me think of my dad ... Lost him over 2 years ago from addiction he was one of the sweetest kindest people I know.but was in a battle for his life. Struggled with addiction since he was 16. We laid a blue rose in his casket.
And this song makes me think of her a lot 😢
This song rips my soul, damn it hurts!!! It's a great song one of the most powerful and touching tunes I've ever heard, awesome!!!
SO GOOD, GOLDEN, HEART-RENDING AND HAUNTING! 😁😁😁😁😁😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀👼👼👼👼👼🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔👫👫👫👫👫👦👦👦👦👦👧👧👧👧👧👨👨👨👨👨👩👩👩👩👩👴👴👴👴👴👵👵👵👵👵💎💎💎💎💎🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺💃💃💃💃💃💵💵💵💵💵😈😈😈😈😈🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Heart wrenching song. I think we all know someone that we loved that was self destructive and we couldn't do anything about it but watch the tragedy unfold before our eyes.
I’ll never stop praying for you sister. 😢💔🙏
This song is beautifully done gives you cold chills and that's when you know it's a good one
Saved my life
Currently fighting a meth addiction as we speak....seen them in concert 2 nights ago and this song hit me really hard when they played it.
your not alone trust me I too am fighting but damn it sure is a fight !prayers for all addicts
I’m fighting with you both. Today is 42 days and I’m struggling hard tonight but I’m gonna win this fight. One day at a time.
how are yall doing???
Don’t give up life feels overwhelming sometimes but you can win and it’s so worth it! Never give up!
it comes and goes... dont let it take you over.. have some fun... youll be alright..
The best ..I'm totally on replay. The lyric are so true. I'm a struggling drug addict myself .
Me too brother, every day I want that needle…I left my girl and Odessa in my rear view but I miss her so
I live in an area where Heroin abuse has decimated our county's population. My little sister is addicted to it & every time my phone rings, I wonder if this gonna be "that phone call". I share this video weekly in hopes that at least 1 addict listens to the words & reaches out for hope.
Going to see these guys 2/23/18 @ Rusty Spur in Ft. Wayne, IN and sadly enough, THIS is the song I most wanna hear
This would be the song for me as well!!!💜♊
Three years later . . . hope your little sister is doing okay.
this song hits me very hard. I'm losing the love of my life to this devil. Been together 12 yrs married 11 and have 3 beautiful kids together. we've never spent one night apart since the day we met until first week of January this year. she had been running with the wrong girls and drinking and they got her doing it with them. it hit ahold of her so fast. she reached out for help called rehab centers and everything because she knew it had its grip on her already. 6wks wait was the soonest opening. well she held on for about a week and left. it got to her and I tried to stop her. now she's gone. living with the dealer. my heart is fucking broken. she's 36 yrs old and had open heart surgery when she was 30 and when she was 33 was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. she's not even the same person right now. and I don't know how long her body will handle this abuse with her health conditions. it has ripped our family apart. she hasn't seen the kids in over a month. she was a good wife a good mommy and a good person. this has turned her into a monster.
nathan beeson Hope all is better your way. May you and your children at least find peace
nathan beeson c
nathan beeson if it's u U know I love her
This is my story exactly. My wife ran off and abandoned myself and our 3 kids for cocaine. She’s not long for this world.
Man ur words hit home. Sorry for what ur going threw
That's the thing about life, it's fragile, precious, unpredictable, and each day is a gift not a given right.
That's right .
I still like this song in 2021..
I’m trying. The depression is overwhelming some days. I just can’t ease the pain. Thank you for this song. ✨💜🙏
Been sober from meth for 13 months. Satan had me as long as I was making the easy choice to continue to use. Once I started making the tough choice daily to resist the urges and keep busy with work and studying scripture, the devil left me alone. When I walk with God, he loses his power. Satan has been defeated. Jesus defeated him and now Jesus reigns. Follow Jesus as your lord and grow with him and you will be amazed at where he takes you. I am.
Amazing!!
Yes fucking sir
Bro i feel u im only 18 was on meth about 10 months back or longer but it was a living nightmare and one day i just said f this shit man god bless
God bless you 🙏
Prayers and love
A father so caring and so loving. We don't always understand his intentions although it always seems to come out with love and grace.
Definitely a incomprehensible love but we know when you have found the lord that YOU ARE LOVED
Take care brother
Any advice??
...and the Night went down, covering the Tears of Loneliness - She was gone, just like a Flickering Light, Disappearing Beyond the Veil of Night, embraced by the trees and Lifted by the Howling Wind...
this is a bittersweet song to all the ones who lost their lives to the devils candy
BeyondtheVeil Of Death very well worded
BeyondtheVeil Of Death the end it's not what to fear its the journey in between
Yes - but the journey within builts the Bridge for the next Step....
Daddy

Brilliant, chills. Every, single, time.
Damn!
This song..
After Many Years I Come Across This Song.
I felt like the guy in the song at one time.
She was just a good friend.For me it was love at first site when I seen her. Years pasted one day we where having lunch and unexpectedly she came out and kissed me.Since then I took her and showed her what I seen in my eyes.I saved her from the muddy water and drug addiction I took her from the Devil she made the deal with..To this Day I’m Glad To See Her By My Side Every Morning When I Open My Eyes.
I Tell Her daily I Love Her..I’m A Lucky Man With A Beautiful Wife Now.💙🙏🏽❤️
God Bless you both..... They say we all have a guardian angel and you truly are here....hope you have a blessed, wonderful long life together. There is still hope for some of us by listening to your story.... Thank you!!!
These comments make me tear up more than this song. I'm sorry you all are going thru so much pain.
I just stumbled on this song on the anniversary of my friend's death from an overdose. It's not my usual type of music but it worked its way into my heart and reminded me once again that love, no matter how powerful, can't heal some wounds. I lost him, but I still believe in the healing power of love because that was his gift to me, knowing I was loved. So his death gave me life and I gave him love. It has become, after all these years, finally enough. We're even now. Thank you for posting it.
This song gets to me every time
This song.....RIP Leo. I'll miss you the rest of my days. And to Darrell, may you realize you are good. And loved and you can fight it. I love you both
I can't listen to this song with out thinking of so much iv lost. and how much I miss when my dad was clean.
I thought whiskey lullaby was sad. This one wins. Both great songs
Sad Sad Sad..... God Bless Everyone fighting these battles. Try to get it through to yourself this is the only life you have try to climb out of that hole and give yourself a chance to be loved. Love, B-Bro
Day two can't get enough of this song. Another addiction
My brother struggles every day. He’s the best guy deep inside there but he lost his kids and is now living with us. He’s gotten a lot better but I come home to him high a lot still. He feels every down and is stuck ina bad cycle. I pray for him and everybody else in these comments ❤️
I live through this for somebody I love right down to the very way it ended

So many forms of addiction and I fight it everyday, I'm now a year sober but I still want to use everyday. I wish the devil would leave me alone.
God bless you and keep fighting my friend ❤

This song is good.. whiskey Myers is in my vault... How bout you
Love these guys. Love the connection to the song. Its exact
this is a great song
beautiful video love this song
A lot of people struggle with this! Knowing you have a problem and need help is the first step to recovery.
Puts me in a mood somewhere between sorrow and sadness while still smiling. (Some type of away)
Very beautiful song .. Hollywood was a struggle for me with a meth problem, I was lucky to over come . It's been 20 years I had to move the east coast to over come . And cant vist California or the mid west for that matter its diffnelty a devils drug .
You are so right on that..... This devil drug has consumed so many of us in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia..... And you are right about having to move away and stay away..... It's sad but true.....
Love of my life facing prison. One minute I'm mad. Next I'm sad. These stories make me so sad. The lost potential is unbearable. Dont know is ever will recover.
This song does something to me.
I pray no else goes like this watch over them Jehovah
We just had a friend pass away and he would sing this song for me. He will be missed by many. He was only 27. He went to bed and didn't wake up
I had a friend and lost her on my birthday
I gave the epitaph to my wife's brother's funeral.... then 3 years later I did the same as I laid my wife low, baby I tossed a rose. HEATHER, never forgotten always LOVED
SO GOOD, GOLDEN, HEART-RENDING, HARD-DRIVING AND HAUNTING! 😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😳😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱😱😵😵😵😵😵💀💀💀💀💀😈😈😈😈😈👿👿👿👿👿🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺💃💃💃💃💃💵💵💵💵💵🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song kicks ass.
It's sad that this song registers with so many of us, the words of the song reminds me of my high school girlfriend.its like this song was written about her 😥
I helped my gf overcome her addiction to self harm. We had been childhood friends/lovers but I got busy with life and feel I left her and I particularly blame myself for how she turned out because I was the only one she had growing up. But now we’ve been together almost a year and we are both a lot happier and life couldn’t seem to get any better.
I don't know why I love this song so much
Wanda Wilson Its a beautifully crafted love song. world class.
Wanda Wilson I bet ido
Love this song
love this song wow
...yeah - Beauuuuuutiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)))
Got away once. Caught up again May God Have Mercy ...... or Not Don't Give a DAMN anymore
This song is beautiful 💯
This song really hits me. I can't help but think my good friend from high school saw and felt the lyrics to this song with the woman he loved. He dealt with her addiction but she always seemed to take and take. It took it's toll on him over the years. She wound up killing herself in a car accident while high...and he seemed to blame himself. I talked to him over the years and life just seemed to beat him down. I never got the feeling he was battling addiction but just life. She had taken everything he had worked for and smoked/snorted/injected it up. He came to me hoping I had answers about a year ago. All I could do was try to help him with words of encouragement. I didn't have any answers for his depression. He had two beautiful daughters to take care of and I'd hoped pointing that out would make him fight. I guess all of those demons were too much and he took his own life a few months later. It haunts me that I didn't have an answer for him.
Changed me from heavy back to conntry.
a Beautiful song
....wow....what for a great song ☝️😎
Lost a lot friends and family from addiction. It really hits home
Thanks to my brother for introducing me to this band.
love this song reminds me of me
This song is haunting and beautiful but sad I have an addiction and it scares me
Just wanted to say...Outstanding job on this video ...I have always wanted to ask someone though ...Doesnt the harmonica at the beginning of the song make you think of a old lonesome train off in the distance ? Maybe its just me but every time I hear this song I think of that train :)
Andrea Waters check them out live. I saw them in concert. he plays harmonica, sings and plays guitar all at the same time. It's a sight to see. he's a hell of a musician.
Ol’ Lonely road with the sun setting , Orange skies, truck driving down the road
I hope youre ok Allison. That speed ball comes W a limit. . Climb if you want, I LOVE YOU... I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW...
Ive been struggling with my addiction for years nothing that is good is left for me to experience. All that left with my divorce in 2015. To anyone and everyone that knows me i bid you a fine farwell and i love you all in your own special way. Love skipper Adair
Yes it is love it
wow great song
Yeah we don't get along cause U said your words in my mother Mary face and her eyes and ears. Yeah I am young.
This song hits so hard.This describes myself to a t except I’m not a substance addict but I have the personality of an addict with some addictive behaviors such as being addicted to people who don’t feel the same way about me as I do them.I totally live with the depression as well.My heart goes out to everyone struggling ❤️we all deserve to be loved and feel loved
😢
Im gonna beat it.
