    Because of BlaBlaBla, I haven't been able to access this account's admin for years. Now that I suddenly can again, I want to thank everybody for staying their best selves in the comments section. You folks give me what little hope I have. BTW, off speed for 35 years, dry for 25. Both times solo flights; nobody around to help. I'm living proof that it can be done.
    (Nov 2017): This clip has become a kind of an online gathering place/support community for my fellow recovering-everythings, and those who want to recover but aren’t quite there yet. I see people reach out, but YT makes it very difficult for direct connections to be made. If you make a connection in the comments, and I receive a request from both parties at info@fooforah.com , I’ll be happy to put you in touch with each other. We're all in this together, even as we work on our own progress.
    Cash pulls no punches with this song, written by Lew Dewitt of the Statler Brothers, about a subject Cash was all too familiar with himself--and the performance is unflinching and straight from the heart. From January 6, 1971. Thanks to gf530 for getting me the correct intel on this tune, and to Michael Lamont for suggesting edits in my remarks about the clip.

      Don't give up Seven 30. And find out if you have an underlying condition like depression or anxiety adhd add or bipolar, stuff like that. When I found the right antidepressant I was able stop drinking. Don't ever give up. Don't run from God let your addiction be a catalyst that pushes you closer to God. Your desperation -use it... drown yourself in the word RENEW YOUR MIND. Become so full of God that you gain the strength to overcome anything that is not of God. JUST NEVER GIVE UP! You are in my prayers!!

      You know he sings about things that he doesn’t actually know about but this is something he actually I believe knows about first hand. Only because I’m familiar with most every lyric he’s speaking of this one may not be as catchy as Folsom prison. Rip Jonny ca$h and defiantly appreciate my 4 years of sobriety.

      @hasiajackson-un7zb ปีที่แล้ว

      Remember the Creator loves you deeply, even though our fellow man may kill, lie, steal and cheat.
      You are a valuable person.
      Every moment in life is precious, treat it like it's your last drop of water.
      Life changes rapidly every second and hurls rocks at you, but you will be able to get back up, even if you couldn't dodge them.
      Mankind is both a beautiful, fragile, yet treacherous creation.
      Mankind is beautiful because everyday someone is born, someone is enjoying life, but we close our hearts to eachother, we can lust after many things.
      But if we clear our blocked path, blocked by greed, we will be able to slowly and painstakingly, yet amazingly walk anywhere we please.
      If one has had a hard life, it isn't over, in this life, or the next, the Creator will reward you.
      Because of this never give up on your dream, dreams are memories that are yet to be remembered.
      God bless you, and I will keep you in my prayers! 🙏

      My sentiments exactly - cryin right now reading through more of them.
      I have never been addicted to narcotics, but I have my own struggles, and they are just as real. I watched firsthand while my precious baby boy [36 now] fought to break free of Meth addiction. I may as well have been addicted to it as I died every time I had to see him slip and detox and try again over and over.
      His pain was felt deeply in this mama's heart. That demon gets inside the brain and literally claws and rips and screams inside until you essentially have no choice but to pick up and use again. I understand. I just wish others did too. I get so sick of hearing those who say so many negative, unhelpful, and really, destructive things to the addict who really just longs to be free!
      God bless every single individual who has to fight these demons [drugs or otherwise] and give you [us] strength to move forward another hour, another day, until freedom is secured!

      You're right...I myself lived through the hell that addiction is for over 9 years..but I was able to get my life back from the pills with the love of my family and friends...real friends that is... I found out that I didn't have as many friends as I thought after I got clean I just had a lot of drug buddies but I'd do anything to help them get straight that I can... I'm working on 7 years clean now and God has blessed me with many things but most of all a great relationship with loved ones and 3 grandsons.. Life is great now... And guys like Johnny and Waylon have been inspirational to me because they both got clean... God bless all of those who are dealing with addiction it's a nightmare and I hate to see anyone suffering from it..

      May I suggest you devise with and take on an elective overwhelming project at the same time? I kicked meth over six weeks when I was focused on finding my lost dog, and quit drinking after Mother's Day Brunch gave me stomach poisoning and that first week sober whether I liked it or not. I couldn't tell the DTs from the uncooked bacon. Then it's one day at a time. It sounds like you've got past the withdrawal period with your feet on the ground, good for you!

I can no longer remotely function as a human if I use.. So the next time I use will be my last. And I dont want to die... One week clean yesterday.. just have to make it through today.

      @L They likely come from those with no understanding whatsoever about what addiction truly is - a disease, no different than any other disease. People need to be educated about addiction and stop associating it with socioeconomic status, race, or thinking it is a matter of "willpower" or a weakness of character or the many other things people commonly associate with addiction.

I was able to overcome addiction in Feb '04. You may be blinded from it at the moment, but you are worth much more than you see. I'm praying for you and that the hell will pass. It will pass and when it does, you'll see that you've got so much to offer. Don't rob this world of the greatness you can become or the originality you can create.

I'm sure he loved you more than he coukd ever love anything in the world. it's a sickness, not much different from other illnesses. it doesn't take away the love they have for their family ect. usually it's a lack of love for themselves..

    I cry my eyes out every time I hear this song because unless you've been through it, you have no earthly idea.... I pray every night that my son will not ever know the horrors of drug addiction. He is my heart and soul and to even think about him going through what I did to get clean scares the shit out of me... him being born literally saved my life so I pray I can return the favor and save his by telling him the truth when he's old enough to understand.... God bless anyone reading this going thru it.... I've been there and know what you are feeling!!!

I don't feel normal anymore unless I'm high or doped up on something. it's maddening. it's becoming more work to stay high then to get high. when I heard this song I burst into tears because I relate to it so much.

      "I don't feel normal anymore unless I'm high or doped up on something."
      Because you`re body especially the brain got used to it. Try to find out what let you take it in the first place. Is there a pain you want to cover? What could bring you joy or make you happy besides getting high? Have you done some sports in the past? The truth is: real life won`t bring you the same distilled enjoyment but it can be beautiful!

    As an alcoholic who spends too much of his free time pounding down beers, I definitely relate to this song. Johnny may have been talking about other substances, but alcohol can cause just as much pain; when the hangover inevitably hits after a multi-day binge, the recovery period can leave you practically non-functional.

    If you see someone struggling from addiction please reach out. It's the worst war in which we fight with. It's worse than any nuclear wars you hear abt on the news. Find faith in God and pray everyday for strength. NEVER GIVE UP even if you relapse.. drug addiction has no cure no matter how many years clean you always risk that one chance of falling into temptation. I never thought I'd touch a needle again after years of sobriety and I had one moment of bad judgement bc I was drunk and I'm back at Rock bottom. But God forgives all sin if you repent. Trust in God and always believe in yourself. To all recovering addicts- NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU RELAPSE YOU ARE NOT A PIECE OF SHIT. YOU DO MATTER! don't let ANYONE belittle you or tell you otherwise. GOD BLESS!

I ate prescription pain killers and speeders like they were PEZ candy for MANY years, then would need a ton of downers to bring me down after flying high without sleep for days at a time. I'm lucky to even be alive and still have some of my intellect remaining intact after what I put my body through. The world needs more men like Johnny Cash in the spotlight today speaking out about the unimaginable cycle of horror so many of us were or are trapped in. There is a way out... it isn't easy, but there is hope!! There are people out there who care and know what you are going through to help you obtain that seemingly unattainable ticket to freedom.

    Thank you for this song for I’ve felt the horror that comes after the thrill. I served two tours of duty in combat when I was in the Marine Core back in 03 when the shit had just hit the fan. I was a 50 caliber machine gunner on the front gun truck of Regimental combat team 7 along with RCT 5 and I did not keep count of nothing for there were many. I just followed orders and God brought me back home to my wife and little girl. When I returned from combat the Dr put me on Xanax’s and Valium’s both many of them and I stayed on them form that point in my life and also for the next 16 years. I would take them to try and just drown out the pain and sorrow I felt but over the years my tolerance got to be so much and I couldn’t ever get enough of them. After my 3rd overdose and I woke up 14 days later and came off the ventilator and was re trained how to walk again. Johnny the Lord God Almighty got ahold of me and he’s not let go of me till this day at this moment and I was blind but now I see and Gods power can help anyone overcome any drug or any hold that satan has on a man, even a die hard Marine like myself. Glory to God Almighty our creator and master. One more thing Johnny, the devil is very powerful and sneaky but he’s just a big ol pussy!!! Get behind me satan!!!! I no longer belong to you.

What I do is I find a piece of music that fits to a specific person , and the troubles that they are facing at the time that I come into their life, and it is the most incredible and rewarding experience to be able to present someone with a song that is so perfect and so powerful for them that they cry their eyes out because it touches their soul. Along with being able to give someone my attention so that they can unleash all the burdens and pain , that is what we must do for our other fellow ( soldiers of addiction) Anyways, check out these couple songs(both Ben Harper songs) and get back to me and let me know what you thought and if you are needing to talk to anyone (anytime please dont hesitate , ok? ) R.I.P to Ryan .....

    god this song slaps. I'm 4 days into an H kick and ive been listening to a lot of Johny Cash. Just found this song and as someone who has struggled with addiction for twenty years, I can say he's right, it affects every age group. I'm almost over the hump and Johny Cash's sweet tunes will get me there. If you are reading this and struggling know that you are not alone. Ask for help, surrender to the process, and sweat it out.

    amazing that they put that on in 1971..... i didn't have tv at that time but i am still surprised he got away with straight talk. Listen to your spirit within.. It will guide you.

    It's easy to admire men like Johnny cash, irreplaceable. I just had 5 years clean from alcohol and drugs. Mike ness and Johnny cash got me through my first year

    After losing my father to a drug overdose in 2010, I finally decided to get clean myself. It was a long battle, but I have close to 5 years now. His music is so powerful because most of what he sang came from personal experience. God bless all of those who are currently fighting the battle with addiction. I promise you, the sickness won't last forever.

    God Bless you Johnny Cash. 4 years next month since I put the needle down and you've had a huge influence on my recovery .
    To those still suffering who will wake up dopesick tomorrow, I promise over and over 100 times, there is NOTHING special about me that allowed me to recover. What I did, you can do. I had to use every 3 or 4 hours by the end, and to me it was just as necessary as breathing. A life lived without substances was a fairy tale. Enough people told me there is a solution, that it planted a seed until I started believing it myself. I go DAYS sometimes without thinking about getting high. Please hang on

    Been clean almost 2 years. Thank the good Lord for saving me. 17 years as a needle junkie, hard core as it gets. I've made it to 52 by the grace of God. Anyone that is in that position, I strongly urge you to ask God for strength and support. Because my friend, at the end of the day he's the reason you are still here. Prayers to all.

      He probably knew it would just get worse. He knew what an impact his songs would have for others after he was gone. He knows that even if you'd never listened to Country Music, somewhere, sometime you would get a chance to hear his songs, even if Someone else re-recorded them. They're inspirational and timeless.! Same goes for Willie Nelson! They lived it and understand how hard it is. These are their words of encouragement and support. Trying to tell people that helping addicts is a hard but wonderful thing to do. God bless you all!!

      I don't know but it's getting worse every single day. A lot of people who go to the clinics still use and then get addicted to the one medicine that's supposed to help them.

  • @stefanosantangelo2507

    Every single word of this song is so true...My daughter is addicted, and listening to this make me think of her. I pray the Lord every day to help her and to make an instrument of me to lead her out of her demons. All young men and women, and less young too, should listen carefully to these lines, in order to avoid the pain and desperation this stuff brings. Citing mr. Cash, even if this song will contribute to save a single soul, it would have been worthwhile. He was so courageous to say this in television back in the '70s. Who else could be like him today? Let's all pray Our Heavenly Father, brothers and sisters. Amen

      God bless YOU as well Mom. I have felt much of what you have, I'm sure. There is a horrible feeling that comes with our inability to FIX or at LEAST lead them to the right answers................. sigh
      I hope and pray your child's addiction is destroyed in a very finite way without his life being taken. I've been told recently that GOD will keep the latter from happening as we pray just that. Bring 'em back Lord. Bring 'em back, stronger and wiser, and desirous of telling others so they may also be free.
      oxo ALWAYS!

PLEASE, spare yourself, and don't ever try the first hit of junk, crushed and hit up pills, coke, speed, or any addictive drug !! It can only lead you to a life of poverty, pain, and terrible crippling withdrawal !! I know, and I pray for help every day!! Spare yourself a life of hell on earth !! PLEASE !!
