Tom, you won’t read this message but I’m a Marine who served in Iraq during the invasion and again in 2005 to 2006. I have PTSD and survivors guilt. Your song will save my life. I heard it for the first time a month ago and am now on day 32 of being sober. I’ve thrown away more relationships than I care to admit over alcohol. At one point I told myself to let the demons win. They didn’t thanks to you. I called my parents a few days ago to start rebuilding. I’ve also scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist to hopefully help me fix other areas. I refuse to be another number. I know my path is not easy but thank you thank you thank you for this. I don’t even know what else to say. I know I’m not the only person hearing this who you have saved but some day I’d love to buy you a coffee or soda. Here’s to no more day zeroes and no more demons winning. S/F bro.
Thank you for your service, and PLEASE know that there IS a grateful nation of Patriots who ARE the "Silent Majority", and we support you in solidarity AND healing! May God bless you and yours ALWAYS. Grace is HIS domain. Trust him faithfully and you WILL find HIM and yourself, again! 🎯>⏳ 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
My brother served in the Navy and came home a drunken mess and it took 3 years for him to hit rock bottom and at times I wished him dead for all the pain he caused my parents then he put himself in AA for the long hall. When he the halfway house and got his first chip we all showed up to support him and after that it was nothing but up for him so he went out and got a late college degree and a great job at a major plastics engineering company and found himself a good wife all in his forties. It's never too late for an honest second chance so stay on the right path and keep your old drinking buddies at a distance until they see what your truly striving for. Godspeed to you.
42 and this is the first time I've ever bought a signed cd or considered myself a real fan of anyone. Tom and Nova are a diamond in the rough. We need this kind of real, unapologetic music now more than ever before.
I, myself, am not an alcoholic. However, I AM the son of a recovering alcoholic who has 30 years of sobriety under his belt. Every day he is fighting like he’s only one beer away. I’m proud of my old man and I’m sure he’d love to see this video. Y’all keep fighting!
Bill Chamberlain I'm so glad you're dad was able to get and stay sober. My dad wasn't so lucky and didn't get to beat his addictions so hearing and reading stories about people who have just warms my heart to a point I didn't think was possible
I can't express enough how excited I am that there is finally a rapper that I can let my kid listen to. He is 17 . And loves rap. You young man have this old lady's respect. Truth .. I could seriously hug you.
@@DadSkool It’s none of your business how others parent their children, honestly it’s likely impossible these days to keep your 17 year old from accessing whatever content they want
I hope you read this. I need help. Ice has ruined my life. I used to be bad off on heroin but I went to prison and got clean from that. Only I picked up ice a couple years after I got out of prison and I'm still doing it today. I just did a shot an hour ago. I'm hideously disgusted with myself. It cost my fiance already among many other things. I used the excuse of life being hard due to felony convictions and society being hypocritical and uncaring but those excuses ran dry a long time ago. Now I feel nothing. I have to use to be normal feeling again but the problem is I never feel anything. Not the drug. Not emotions, nothing. I don't care about anything and I'm tired of disappointing everyone. I want to die but I'm too much of a coward to do it myself, unfortunately. I have no friends no girl no kids no family. I have no one. That only makes it easier to stay in the shit. I have hit a dead end without the added benefit of dying. What do I do? I know I don't have long to live. One way or another I know I'm nearing the end. What do I do?? I'm terrified of going through withdrawals again and have no support group. I'm lost and while I I'm tired of being lost, it's all I've known for so long I don't remember any other way to be. I'm a phony. A pretender. An imposter. An Island of my own making drifting further and further into the abyss and can't see a single lighthouse anywhere and the sharks are circling.
Hope you don't mind having older fans. I am the 71 year old husband of the 69 year old lady and think you're brilliant. It's not all bad in my day I saw the who live and the move 1960s. Best wishes from the UK
I think this is awesome! I'm 37 and a Tom Macdonald fan. I've been watching his videos, reading the comments, and I'm surprised and thrilled to see that Tom's music resonates with all ages. 😁💗
Tom got me sober for real! I can't even describe the gratitude I have for him and nova I was in the darkest place in my life and I was a heroin addict for 18 years the alcohol was worse. Thank you Tom!
same here. i'm a metal head and never could stand rap. but Tom and Nova are something special. you can hear every word he says and speaks nothin but the truth
I just picked up 4 years sober last oct. This song brings all the bad things roaring back and reminds me why I'm standing here today. Thank you so much! Its when I forget about where I came from that old habits start coming back. Keep up the great work man.
Been sober since I got locked up for fighting in June 2019, got out nine months later and now have a year of probation. After a year and nine months, no reason to start being stupid again. Thanks Tom for being you.
Congratulations 🎉 Drunk got me done bad stuffs too. It like rage of devil controlled you. Glad I’m sober for 10 years so far, decade!! Lol crazy long. Good lucks to you guys
As a non drinker, I can't get personally attached to this. But what does get me emotional is how many people in the comments section talk about their personal stories or how this song changed them. Find it amazing how this song brought out so much emotion in so many people. Great song Tom.
I spent 10 years loving an alcoholic... I never understood why he chose that life... when he gets sober and falls off the wagon. This song and Tom Macdonald's song "Angels" has put a little into perspective for me. I too, enjoy the stories from all who are winning their battle with the demons. We fight our own fight in different ways.
My husband was an alcoholic. Was sober 11 years....single vehicle accident BAC of .195 on the toxicology report. Hearing Tom MacDonald and NF have helped me have a little more insight. I wish my husband had encountered Tom's music.
4 years sober next month. Literally felt like you were singing this song talking about my previous mistakes and decisions. This whole ass song hit home brother!!
Tom ... you speak truth so much ... I'm 55 and your music has got me thinking so much. So much that I gotta re-think where I am in life ... love your music man!
I'm trying so hard to get sober, I've been shooting up daily for 3 years now, but because of toms music, i have been able to force myself to use less almost every time, and I know I can do it even tho it's a slow process, I'm doing it. When I feel like the cravings are too overwhelming, i blare your music and sit back n close my eyes n picture me living a sober life, n you honestly are helping me thru this more than I know how to say, thank you so much Tom, you are such an important part of my life, even tho it's only thru your music, i can never thank you enough
I'm struggling to stay sober. 74 days sober, so I'm a newbie. It's hard but this song is helping. Thanks Tom Macdonald for such a great song. It's reminding me why I need to stay sober.
One day at a time it's hard but it gets easier. Just think to yourself every time you want to drink if I can make it 74 days I can make it 74 more. After a while it becomes easier to ignore the Temptations. Stay strong
Well hope you are still sober you said you was 75 days in you did it l hope anyway well done l was the same and one day l woke up and realised it had destroyed my life all them years wasted but now things are so much better it was killing me. We are better than that. Would be nice to chat if you want because l hope you made it.
I gave up drinking 7 months ago. It's so nice walking with my head held high and feeling proud of myself rather than feeling hungover and worthless. True story!
If you've kept it up I think that would make a full year sober for you. That's truly incredible. Don't let anyone undervalue that. You can keep sober if your will is strong but do it for yourself. Internal inspiration is one of the best methods of growth, in my humble opinion
Going on 4 yrs sober now. I cannot have just one or two and damn sure would like to have that ability but been down that road and can’t touch it at all. So many things in this song bring back memories and make me appreciate who I am without it. I don’t know how I haven’t heard of Tom before a few days ago, the guy is a lyrical genius and the pure talent to get these messages out is for lack of a better word amazing.
Tom, I heard about you about a month ago. Since then I can't stop listening. I'm a 40yr old white dude and hated rap. Your a godsend to this generation!!!! Your a voice that has more therapy than NF and more "wokeness" than hopsin and fits with ALL people regardless of age! Got me hooked!
You Can’t try to compare him with NF cuz they are totally different but they both have their “therapeutic” qualities. And no one is “woke” we are all in the dark. The term woke is for people like Kanye lmmfao
I am! To be honest I miss when Tom would sing about addiction like this. He's still cool either way but I would love to hear some more songs about addiction and recovery.
This song could have been my husband’s anthem. It pretty much sums up his life 30+ years ago before we met. He drank to numb his life. Thankfully he worked hard to get straight and never looked back. We got married, had six awesome kids and he’s an incredible husband and dad.
I don't know if I am supposed to hate Tom McDonald or love Tom McDonald but this song I can relate to. I know that I too am allergic to alcohol and when I drink I break out in handcuffs. Taking it slow trying to do the right thing. Often easier said than done
Im 4 years sober, couldn't have done it without you and Nova and Adam, I love ya, y'all are all family, you'll always have a home here in Kentucky, you three are gonna change the world, don't stop pushing Tom .
Congratulations on your 4 years sober, man!!! Staying sober is the most difficult thing I have ever done I my life. I've fallen sooooo many times that I'm back to 24 hours clean as of 2pm today. Anyone who can make it years (I previously relapsed at my 1 year 1month 🤦🏼♀️) is a fuckin hero in my eyes. Do proud of you dude, keep it up!❤️❤️
Haven't drank in two years. Only 24 and watch all my friends drinking till they black out every weekend. Thanks for this one tom. Seems personal, but speaks different to me.
I'm 24 also, been drinking at least a 6 pack every day since 14. Just recently (last two months) I've been slowing way, way down. Trying to get to where your at. Respect op
I listened to rap when I was younger, but not anymore. I do like this, TM is the first rapper in a long time that I like. I don't like mumble rap or rap that has no substance or meaning. I like TM's kind of rap because it is like listening to a story or audiobook, it is captivating, I get lost in listening to his words and I can understand everything he says ✌🏼✌️✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿🤘🏻💚 ...which is more like the old skool stuff
"I'm a mess, and I know you don't deserve it. You're the best, and I'm a pretty stupid person. Nonetheless, you try to help me 'cause i'm hurting. I confess, sometimes I feel like i'm not worth it. I don't drink, 'cause when i'm drunk, i'm a problem. I don't care who I hurt, I feel awesome. HOLY CRAP, IT'S EITHER JAIL OR A COFFIN, SOON ENOUGH I'MA BE AT ROCK BOTTOM." Hit me hard. Tom, you get it dog.
Only discovered Tim Macdonald in the last few weeks, I'm in the UK. I feel less alone hearing a voice preaching the same sermon. There's no hate from this man and we have shared some of the same path in life. Thank you Mr Macdonald, stay strong and keep sharing 🇺🇲🇬🇧💪🦁💪🇬🇧🇺🇲
11 years sober and this is a song i can relate too almost verbatim. Getting sober was the best decision I've ever made!! Keep up the great work Tom. Love your music
We need more songs like this!! Been drinking since I was 13, am now 30 and almost two years sober! Nice to see hear talent not promoting getting fucked up!!
I hope it's gotten a little better for you hang in their remember if you slip and fall just get back up and keep moving forward brother you can bet this I did you can too
Me too, i can relate. Now he's older still hitting the bottle daily. I feel like his time is about to run out. His health is in obvious decline. I will never allow myself to end up like him.
I drink occasionally but never get drunk. I have alcoholism and abusive behavior linked to it on both sides of my family (thank goodness both my parents broke that cycle) so I’m against it for that reason. I was also raised Catholic so I think getting drunk is immoral. So that helps.
By this statement i know you won't be like him stay strong man i know its hard to watch your Dad drink himself to death mine is also doing it your not alone bro
I love my support for him and my husband ! My husband got sober because of this artist ! Thank you Tom for your messages and your story lines . You saved my husband's life ! Your his fav. Much love ! Life is so much better. He suffers from mental health issues but you helped him when he needed someone the most besides me . Thanks again.
I love how Tom gets so personal with his music. It's refreshing to hear something other than "my bling" "my money" "my cars" "my hoes". I just didn't care for the song. Of course it's still better than 90% of this supposed music others make. Keep doing you Tom.
really? this is just as common and overdone as the other music. its just a different type of exploitation. it isnt hard to pull on the heartstrings of addicts. he isnt doing anything new.
I love how the ones that say it’s better are ones who don’t listen to any of it anyway. You don’t care for the song? Then it ain’t better than shit, music is an art form primarily hinging on rhythm. Maybe if you go back and listen to the 90% you’ll realize it’s a lot catchier and that’s the skill behind it. Just cause you talk about “real” shit doesn’t mean it’s not “real shitty”
Wow! Powerful ! Deep! Rich in truth and skill! To God be the Glory! What a beautiful way to worship the LORD ! Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents and using them to honor God. I’m blown away. 🙌🏽🙏🏽
I’m in my late 40’s and I never drank in my life. When I was a little kid around 12 years old my father used to come home drunk every night and yell at my mother and me for no reason. I made a promise to myself that when I grow up I will NEVER drink and become like my father. 35 years later and I’m still keeping that promise that I made to myself when I was 12 years old. I’m actually very proud to say that I’m 47 years old and I have no idea what it feels like to be drunk. Even to this day I still don’t touch the stuff.
Almost the same except I'm 45 and my step dad was the alcoholic and he physically abused me till I ran away from home at 16. I do have a glass of wine maybe once a year lol but never till my kids were grown and moved out.
I wish that some of the lyrics would refer to me when I'm drunk. I know I drink too much but I don't behave like an asshole or do stupid things, but I'm afraid of my health. On the other side I escape all the bullshit that's going on right now and I'm happy to miss a couple of hours every other day!
I'm fighting the same war brother. Great message, thanks for the show. 3 years for the rest of my life... I've been having nightmares about using, this song puts me back into a better place!!!
Proud of you! I’m a retired EMT, and this makes me smile! My brother was sober for 16 years, and started to think he could drink socially again. Let’s just say it didn’t end well, but he is two years sober again. Stay healthy 🥰
He's what the world needs more than ever!!!!! The people in power are trying to divide us and the reality is we need to join together, colour really is not the problem now its media and government trying to keep us occupied with blaming each other.
@@swisstoni5844 This era might be the last opportunity for the elite to play the races off of each other. The internet is red-pilling everyone about everything. The elite are getting more desperate, that's why they're trying so damn hard to find racists or make racists. Billions are being spent on the programs designed to find or make them. They destroyed the black community by poisoning their women against their men and making it profitable. Now they're going after every community. This has never been about race, it was always about the elite maintaining dynastic power over everyone else. Every political system gets corrupted by their ilk so that the best thieves reap the most rewards. From Communism to Fascism the elite always eat the bounty and give scraps to the rest of us. All while putting the hoi polloi at each other's throats. They won't be able to get away with this for very much longer. Even in the deep South, families are getting mixed with all races. Hard to claim racism when everyone is some combination of all races. They'll still try... but they'll fail.
I'm definitely bumping this practically on repeat for the next few weeks. You know you've got a true artist on your hands when one song can make you almost cry one second and literally laugh out loud the very next. Fucking genius.
I quit rapping when I became an alcoholic and my fans were worried that I was going to quit. I've been sober for a year as of November 8th and now I'm back playing shows and my life is finally mine again. Anyone going through the same or similar know that although it's rough, it's possible and I support you 💯. Thank you Tom 🌻
I wish I had been aware of your music before my ex- husband died. Your words could have helped him. Cirrhosis killed him at 58. He was sober the last 10 months of his life. He was finally realizing how his life was ruined by addictions. Addicts don't have families. They take hostages. RIP Tom. That was his name too.
Guess, if he isn’t updating this comment from when he was waking up hungover from a bender we all know what’s happening. Leaving an addiction behind, especially one that’s truly inside of you, takes a whole hell of a lot more than a hopeful comment online to walk away from. With that said, if he ever comes back and looks through these comments they could be what saves his life, we’ve all been there brother, we all are still right there with you, even if we haven’t touched our doc in years. No matter how low you get remember that you have an entire life ahead of you. Time to change, or at least try too. I can’t even count the times I’ve hit a milestone and been overran with sorrow and went right back, how many times I’ve disappointed everyone in my life, how close to death I’ve gotten and continued to play with fate. I’m on medication that allows me to have a life. I am truly my worst enemy, just like everyone in this thread or comment section is, so take our advice, and stay strong, stay positive and know our shared struggles make us stronger. Good luck and know, we believe in you.
@@narcoleptic-insomniac4663, yes I'm still drinking. I haven't had a binge like that since. Alcoholism runs in my family which doesn't help any. It was easier to quit drugs than this.
I've come to the conclusion that Tom Macdonald is a social rehabilitation expert. He's making an upbeat bop of a song. At the same time he's making his listeners more conscious of themselves and their impact on others. This man is a fucking treasure.
Still coping with my husband from time to time but things have slowly over time gotten better and I've continued to fight I showed him your song sing it the next morning after every slip up because it really hits home thank you❤️
This song reminds me of my 20’s with all the dumb shit I did and people I hurt or let down. It’s also a reminder of why I no longer drink. I got tired of waking up lost with no money.
Thank you for this song. I'm not an addict but I have a sister who has been a recovering addict for about 4 years now. So, I have a different point of view on it. But, the songs you've released about your own struggles helps me better understand what it's like for someone who is in recovery or still struggling.
6 months here. Thomas was one of the reasons I became sober. Alot of other people in the comments, as well. Thank you, brother. Thank you so much. We love you man❤
6 beers in on a Thursday, this song comes to me and makes me realize that maybe I need to step back and check out my own life. Gos bless this Man and his whole team. He is singing THE TRUTH no matter the subject
300 o clock been up since 3 drinking all day probably about 12 beers close no stopping anytime soon not that I want to I just can't right now it's my best friend when I have none also my worst enemy.
Jacqueline Sharron Congratulations for staying true to yourself. I’m sure some words of the song holds true for you, I know they hold true for me and why I don’t drink any more. I got tired of being an A-hole. Again congratulations!
I agree with Omari’s comment here above… you have 16+ years with a rough patch or a bad night… no reason to start back at day 1. You’re definitely not the same person as you were…it’s not possible.
I just love what you are doing. God saved me from multiple addictions...one of which was drinking. I can so relate and have to smile almost all the way thru the song. Awsom beats dude. Keep up the good work. Jesus loves you soo much.
When I pass, I want this beautiful & hilarious masterpiece played when my days come. Hopefully someone doesn’t drop my ashes on the way or forget me. Much love! Thank you🙏🏻
Thanks Tom .. reminds me oh everyday in my mid twenties .. thanks man i ended up with cancer in my chest at 28 and that was when I stopped and ended up with a great life got married to the nurse that roomed me that day and now I'm 38 living with one lung got a son a farm animals and a business owner .. every one has there day !!! As long as you don't ever give up !!
I'm trying. My gf blew her brians out with my gun died in my bed June of 2019. I was in the livingroom and heard the shot. I've been self medicating ever since. I want to change but it's really hard when you're all alone 24/7
Chef Life That’s a “big oh my”in this world we live in. But there’s something bigger we aren’t too keen to yet and that’s alright. I feel like she’s there. Eternal life is beautiful and significantly abounding compared to this spec of salt tossed on the timeline we have. Have faith. It’s not what we do, but what Jesus did. We’re all sinners.. doesn’t matter how much or how little. We all are. We don’t compare. None of us are good. The person who points to themselves about their goodness... do not worry about them that’s a faulty on their part and shows weakness. Lol trust me. you opened up, shows your humbleness which is actually strength and is honorable. Cling onto Him. He is the only medicine. Doubt is natural, but still cling! That’s all we can do, but nothing we can do is enough. What He did was everything. Like I said, a spec of salt... stay strong, this is nothing compared to what is later!
I actually really enjoy the little interaction clips at the end between Tom and Nova. In a world where so many people never learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, it's nice to see a couple who are genuinely happy together and have each other's backs. And it makes me think about my fiance, in turn making my day a bit better. :) best of luck to both of you for many many years to come.
I enjoy it as well because there aren't many relationships nowadays that you can really look towards and just think, "good for them, they're figuring this whole thing out just fine." I really love how much props hog fam gives to Nova instead of only ever acknowledging Tom. Almost every reactor and comment section give shoutouts to her for how amazing it turns out.
Can’t sum it up better, Thank you for talking to me and reminding me what I’ve put this hard work in for these last five years sober. Time to earn five more.
This song literally shook me. I've been struggling with drinking for years and the last time I got drunk I hurt a lot of people and I've been trying hard to avoid alcohol ever since. I've only had 1 drink in the last 4-5 months. Love how open and honest this guy is. Keep em coming MacDonald!
Yup this is my 6th ride on the Sober Train in the last 8 years.... He describes me to a T ....this song and DEMON ALCOHOL ar songs to help remind one how bad we are when drunk...all it takes is ONE SIP...and BAM...DRUNKARD ONCE AGAIN
My first drink was at 18 years old and that was it for me. I loved drinking and the feeling of being drunk so much that I went to university, not to get an education but to drink heavily. And I did. It got to the point where I would wait until midday to drink because I convinced myself that alcoholics drink in the morning and if I wait until the afternoon, I'm not an alcoholic. I also used to put vodka in beer to get drunk quicker but not taste it and I would buy a bottle of coke from the corner store, pour half of it out, then fill the other half with rum or whisky so I could drink on the street without people realising it. Now I rarely drink these days and it's honestly better.
U are both role models an mentors to ppl going thru the same struggle thx more than u can know...my farther is an alcoholic and has not met any of his three grandchildren that I have birthed and I commend u on ur effort to educate and inform ppl of the consequences og alcoholism...thank u
I'm fighting the same war brother. Great message, thanks for the show. 3 years for the rest of my life... I've been having nightmares about using, this song puts me back into a better place!!!
4 years, no drinking. I don’t miss the blackouts, the fights or the hangovers. Just the social aspect but I guess that’s kind of difficult these days lol
Just keep it poppin. Keeping growing and becoming and better person, and look for people that do the same. You'll kind that social group of "do nothings" will soon be replaced that will motivate you to do more and be more.
yeah man I feel you it's been five years for me and I was just talking about it today before this video is released about well you know just reminiscing on all the social fun then you have all the financialthe empty wallet in the morning with the massive hangover face down with your shoes still on
I'm 20 and have never gotten drunk to.this day. I've lost "friends" because I choose not to drink with them. All I see is the destruction alchohol cause and how people change from it. When I was younger my mom left my dad and the week she left my dad turned to.alchol passing out every night from it and causing destruction he then killed himself. To have fun now a days I guess people have to alter their minds.
Tom, you won’t read this message but I’m a Marine who served in Iraq during the invasion and again in 2005 to 2006. I have PTSD and survivors guilt. Your song will save my life. I heard it for the first time a month ago and am now on day 32 of being sober. I’ve thrown away more relationships than I care to admit over alcohol. At one point I told myself to let the demons win. They didn’t thanks to you. I called my parents a few days ago to start rebuilding. I’ve also scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist to hopefully help me fix other areas. I refuse to be another number. I know my path is not easy but thank you thank you thank you for this. I don’t even know what else to say. I know I’m not the only person hearing this who you have saved but some day I’d love to buy you a coffee or soda. Here’s to no more day zeroes and no more demons winning. S/F bro.
Way to go man. Ty for your service and sacrafices.
Thank you for your service, and PLEASE know that there IS a grateful nation of Patriots who ARE the "Silent Majority", and we support you in solidarity AND healing! May God bless you and yours ALWAYS. Grace is HIS domain. Trust him faithfully and you WILL find HIM and yourself, again!

My brother served in the Navy and came home a drunken mess and it took 3 years for him to hit rock bottom and at times I wished him dead for all the pain he caused my parents then he put himself in AA for the long hall. When he the halfway house and got his first chip we all showed up to support him and after that it was nothing but up for him so he went out and got a late college degree and a great job at a major plastics engineering company and found himself a good wife all in his forties. It's never too late for an honest second chance so stay on the right path and keep your old drinking buddies at a distance until they see what your truly striving for. Godspeed to you.
stand firm, and much respect.
My step father is a fellow marine, all the respect and positive energy is sent your way:))
42 and this is the first time I've ever bought a signed cd or considered myself a real fan of anyone. Tom and Nova are a diamond in the rough. We need this kind of real, unapologetic music now more than ever before.
40 and found him yesterday. 👍💪✌
46 three day binge and ordered all his albums...lol...also a recovering alcoholic and drug user, finally an artis who makes it cool to be sober ....
I'm 112 and what is this?
I'm 38, and I completely agree. I just found him about a week ago and I'm already a huge fan.
38, just discovered Tom, it's amazing to hear some 'hardcore' rap with an actual positive message.
I am coming up on three years sober and this song is my anthem.
Alcohol nearly ruined my life, but I won in the end.
Im a recovering addict i have not drank in over 20 yrs the drugs gave them up 3 yrs ago i lived this song along with. So many people so thank you TOM
I, myself, am not an alcoholic. However, I AM the son of a recovering alcoholic who has 30 years of sobriety under his belt. Every day he is fighting like he’s only one beer away. I’m proud of my old man and I’m sure he’d love to see this video. Y’all keep fighting!
Have your pops check out Tom's video for "Sober" it's awesome, and congrats to the man!
Congrats to the man.
I know the feeling I got to na...all the time and I get drunk black out and idk what's wrong with me....I get drunk and cry and feel sorry for myself
I'd be sober as well if my mind wasnt a fucking hell
Bill Chamberlain I'm so glad you're dad was able to get and stay sober. My dad wasn't so lucky and didn't get to beat his addictions so hearing and reading stories about people who have just warms my heart to a point I didn't think was possible
I can't express enough how excited I am that there is finally a rapper that I can let my kid listen to. He is 17 . And loves rap. You young man have this old lady's respect. Truth .. I could seriously hug you.
If he is 17 you shouldnt censor any content he consumes, sorry

It’s none of your business how others parent their children, honestly it’s likely impossible these days to keep your 17 year old from accessing whatever content they want

Toms diverse music is why no one will ever come close to his talent.
SOO TRUE he is the best n Nova he hits the heart ❤
This. He covers so many genres.

I'm 41 days clean after 20 years of meth addiction I spent the whole night thinking of suicide but I'm still here praise God
Keep up the clean time. I felt this song. Was an iv user. Today I have 17 months clean. You got this
I hope you read this. I need help. Ice has ruined my life. I used to be bad off on heroin but I went to prison and got clean from that. Only I picked up ice a couple years after I got out of prison and I'm still doing it today. I just did a shot an hour ago. I'm hideously disgusted with myself. It cost my fiance already among many other things. I used the excuse of life being hard due to felony convictions and society being hypocritical and uncaring but those excuses ran dry a long time ago. Now I feel nothing. I have to use to be normal feeling again but the problem is I never feel anything. Not the drug. Not emotions, nothing. I don't care about anything and I'm tired of disappointing everyone. I want to die but I'm too much of a coward to do it myself, unfortunately. I have no friends no girl no kids no family. I have no one. That only makes it easier to stay in the shit. I have hit a dead end without the added benefit of dying. What do I do? I know I don't have long to live. One way or another I know I'm nearing the end. What do I do?? I'm terrified of going through withdrawals again and have no support group. I'm lost and while I I'm tired of being lost, it's all I've known for so long I don't remember any other way to be. I'm a phony. A pretender. An imposter. An Island of my own making drifting further and further into the abyss and can't see a single lighthouse anywhere and the sharks are circling.
Keep it up please. We’re proud of you! You are still here for a reason
May I'll be clean of Meth 51
Years. After all the ups and downs I'm still breathing. Don't check out until we win. I'll add you to my prayer list
U still good bro?
Hope you don't mind having older fans. I am the 71 year old husband of the 69 year old lady and think you're brilliant. It's not all bad in my day I saw the who live and the move 1960s. Best wishes from the UK
I think this is awesome! I'm 37 and a Tom Macdonald fan. I've been watching his videos, reading the comments, and I'm surprised and thrilled to see that Tom's music resonates with all ages. 😁💗
Early 50's here, just discovered Tom's music ... on my 3rd day of binge watching.
I love this ❤️
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜Best wishes to you and your wife!!!!!
37 here mate good taste has no age limit
Tom got me sober for real! I can't even describe the gratitude I have for him and nova I was in the darkest place in my life and I was a heroin addict for 18 years the alcohol was worse. Thank you Tom!
Man... Congratulations on getting sober! Way to fight to regain your life! I don't know you, but I'm very proud of you!
Congrats!! Keep it up! I’m cheering for you!
Keep going, dont give up. Live your life, we only get one. Xo
I hope you're doing well !
A youtube video made you quit. Read yourself back that comment. lol
I've never liked rap music and I have never liked so many videos. This guy is really something.
Same i have had his music playing all day every song is so good
Yep. Me too.
Haven't heard anything I not liked yet...And I hate rap...lol
same here. i'm a metal head and never could stand rap. but Tom and Nova are something special. you can hear every word he says and speaks nothin but the truth
As a new fan, trying to make a playlist of all the songs I like is a workout. Some garbage in there, but can't believe how many slay.
I just picked up 4 years sober last oct. This song brings all the bad things roaring back and reminds me why I'm standing here today. Thank you so much! Its when I forget about where I came from that old habits start coming back. Keep up the great work man.
I'm 63 years old. This song is so true. I wish some one would have sang it when I was young. I'm glad it's here today. I hope people take heed to it.
I'm 37 and just sent the link to my 17 yo. He really needs to hear it and take notes
just stfu boomer nobody cares
Yeah. I'd hate to have a tattoo of a beer can on my but cheek that's smiling
@@nickshaw2121 imagine dissing on a 63 year old... not cool
Im 50
Been sober since I got locked up for fighting in June 2019, got out nine months later and now have a year of probation. After a year and nine months, no reason to start being stupid again. Thanks Tom for being you.
Garrett VonKemnow I feel you, haven’t had a drink myself since July 25 2019
My dad stopped that same month!
Congratulations 🎉
Drunk got me done bad stuffs too. It like rage of devil controlled you.
Glad I’m sober for 10 years so far, decade!! Lol crazy long.
Good lucks to you guys
I'm a struggling addict/alcoholic, trying to get clean and happy. This music is giving me so much inspiration. Right on 😁
You can do it man
Yes bro you go
You're not alone...thats where I am at as well. We can do it.
I have been clean for 7 years and used the NA program. You should check it out. Also, one of my favorite songs from Tom is "sober" have you heard it?
Bro I have multiple family members that have struggled and all I can do is tell you you can do it and keep strong.
I have never had an issue with drinking but I think this is one of the most honest and real songs I have ever heard
As a non drinker, I can't get personally attached to this. But what does get me emotional is how many people in the comments section talk about their personal stories or how this song changed them. Find it amazing how this song brought out so much emotion in so many people. Great song Tom.
I spent 10 years loving an alcoholic... I never understood why he chose that life... when he gets sober and falls off the wagon.
This song and Tom Macdonald's song "Angels" has put a little into perspective for me.
I too, enjoy the stories from all who are winning their battle with the demons.
We fight our own fight in different ways.
My husband was an alcoholic. Was sober 11 years....single vehicle accident BAC of .195 on the toxicology report. Hearing Tom MacDonald and NF have helped me have a little more insight. I wish my husband had encountered Tom's music.
I will have 16 years clean and sober in August 2021. The best thing I ever did was lose the bottle. God Bless You.
Being a heavy drinker this song almost makes me wanna change cause when I'm drunk I'm retarded!
4 years sober next month. Literally felt like you were singing this song talking about my previous mistakes and decisions. This whole ass song hit home brother!!
7 and a half here. only by the grace of God
Got 5 yrs here, congrats!
Don't know
4 years 2 weeks now congrats stay strong
Yup I felt the blacked out and spent all my money line real hard
This guy is the coolest weirdo I’ve ever liked and 100% relate to !!
@Remi Hart he meant “weirdo” in a good way calm tf down
@Remi Hart Don't be like them! Tom would completely embrace weirdo status!
What does Beyonce have her bees whether there f****** called. Well Tom's got his weirdos. Hands up weirdos✋.
Sobriety is AWESOME!! 32 Years, 11 Months 10 Days, You can do this Marine! God bless us all!
I’m trying….
A guy with the balls to reject the mainstream and encourage kids to be decent people, love it! P.S. I can truly relate, Tom speaks truth!

Your amazing to have an open mind for a young rapper like Tom. God bless you!❤🙌🙌🇺🇸

It's crazy to find out Tom has been rapping for 60 years
56 here....this kid speaks truths...love it
Tom ... you speak truth so much ... I'm 55 and your music has got me thinking so much. So much that I gotta re-think where I am in life ... love your music man!
I've Been in AA ten months. I'm clean and sober. I listen to this song at least once a day. It helps.
The most important artist in any genre right now. He needs to compile all of his shit into one album and call it "The Truth Bible".
Oh shit. Genius
They are the definition of 'prolific'. Losing count of all their masterpieces. ❤️🙏
Much of what he sings is already in the Bible.
I'm trying so hard to get sober, I've been shooting up daily for 3 years now, but because of toms music, i have been able to force myself to use less almost every time, and I know I can do it even tho it's a slow process, I'm doing it. When I feel like the cravings are too overwhelming, i blare your music and sit back n close my eyes n picture me living a sober life, n you honestly are helping me thru this more than I know how to say, thank you so much Tom, you are such an important part of my life, even tho it's only thru your music, i can never thank you enough
Me to 💯💯 no more soothing with a bong instead listen to tom!
You can beat it.
@@geneticepistomology thank you, being told those words really helps so much more than people realize
Soulsearching Heathen Kicking that is an unimaginable hell. You can make it through it, after that, there is nothing you will not be able to do.
My background, mental health professional with experience in addiction recovery.
I'm struggling to stay sober. 74 days sober, so I'm a newbie. It's hard but this song is helping. Thanks Tom Macdonald for such a great song. It's reminding me why I need to stay sober.
Keep it up friend.
The defeat won't be worth it but the victory will!
One day at a time it's hard but it gets easier. Just think to yourself every time you want to drink if I can make it 74 days I can make it 74 more. After a while it becomes easier to ignore the Temptations. Stay strong
8 days help
I hope you're still doing good! I never thought id live without drinking. Its possible 🖤🌸
Well hope you are still sober you said you was 75 days in you did it l hope anyway well done l was the same and one day l woke up and realised it had destroyed my life all them years wasted but now things are so much better it was killing me. We are better than that. Would be nice to chat if you want because l hope you made it.
I gave up drinking 7 months ago. It's so nice walking with my head held high and feeling proud of myself rather than feeling hungover and worthless. True story!
stay strong. you will be able to change other lives. never give up no matter what.
If you've kept it up I think that would make a full year sober for you. That's truly incredible. Don't let anyone undervalue that. You can keep sober if your will is strong but do it for yourself. Internal inspiration is one of the best methods of growth, in my humble opinion
God bless. The world is BETTER with you participating!
Going on 4 yrs sober now. I cannot have just one or two and damn sure would like to have that ability but been down that road and can’t touch it at all. So many things in this song bring back memories and make me appreciate who I am without it. I don’t know how I haven’t heard of Tom before a few days ago, the guy is a lyrical genius and the pure talent to get these messages out is for lack of a better word amazing.
You have bragging rights now bro
5 years for me. Just going down the Tom Mcdonald rabbit hole myself lol His song Sober is amazing too.
Oh and congratulations on your almost 4 years! Stay strong!!
Tom, I heard about you about a month ago. Since then I can't stop listening. I'm a 40yr old white dude and hated rap. Your a godsend to this generation!!!! Your a voice that has more therapy than NF and more "wokeness" than hopsin and fits with ALL people regardless of age! Got me hooked!
You're
You Can’t try to compare him with NF cuz they are totally different but they both have their “therapeutic” qualities. And no one is “woke” we are all in the dark. The term woke is for people like Kanye lmmfao
Why do you hate rap
Stay strong, mimic the winners, ignore the losers. Including these replies.
Liar... So you "Hated" rap before Tom, but you refer to NF and hopsin? Something is off ma dude
Who still bumping this side of Tom in ‘24??? 👌 #HOG
Me mane!! Its my wife's fav when we chillin!!!!
One of my fav’s too ! 😅
🤘🏼
This in my top 5 songs
I am! To be honest I miss when Tom would sing about addiction like this. He's still cool either way but I would love to hear some more songs about addiction and recovery.
This song could have been my husband’s anthem. It pretty much sums up his life 30+ years ago before we met. He drank to numb his life. Thankfully he worked hard to get straight and never looked back. We got married, had six awesome kids and he’s an incredible husband and dad.
Good for him! Same goes for my grandpa.
Just needed a good woman!
I don't know if I am supposed to hate Tom McDonald or love Tom McDonald but this song I can relate to. I know that I too am allergic to alcohol and when I drink I break out in handcuffs. Taking it slow trying to do the right thing. Often easier said than done
That is a fantastic story! So happy for you and your husband. Much respect!
sounds like i gotta chance!
Tom Macdonald is a breath of fresh air in this idiotic culture that glorifies self-destructive behavior. Go Tom, youre the GOAT!
Yes
True
actually that was my first impression but actually the dude hates this culture listen to the other songs u will know what i mean just try.
Truth!!
Fact!
I've been clean and sober going on 8 years, this song as most of yours hits home... respect Tom
LAME!!!!
Congrads man.
You kind of people give me hope

Im 4 years sober, couldn't have done it without you and Nova and Adam, I love ya, y'all are all family, you'll always have a home here in Kentucky, you three are gonna change the world, don't stop pushing Tom .
Congratulations on your 4 years sober, man!!! Staying sober is the most difficult thing I have ever done I my life. I've fallen sooooo many times that I'm back to 24 hours clean as of 2pm today. Anyone who can make it years (I previously relapsed at my 1 year 1month 🤦🏼♀️) is a fuckin hero in my eyes. Do proud of you dude, keep it up!❤️❤️
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! 💗
Haven't drank in two years. Only 24 and watch all my friends drinking till they black out every weekend.
Thanks for this one tom. Seems personal, but speaks different to me.
Wish I was your age when I decided to kick the can, respect dude 🤘🤘
I'm 24 also, been drinking at least a 6 pack every day since 14. Just recently (last two months) I've been slowing way, way down. Trying to get to where your at. Respect op
27 and haven’t drank in 4 years, just got tired of waking up feeling like shit and wasting my money. Your not alone my friend
Feel you on this bro 22 and 2 years not drinking too. Drink can fuck off! Stay strong man
I’m there with you. I woke up in my apartment and didn’t know how I got there one time when I was 21 I’m 28 now and still haven’t drink since then
I don’t even like rap. But this man caught my attention. His message cannot be ignored
Woah. Alcohol is bad for you?!?! Never would've guessed it.
Tommy C's SFTP What?
dont say "but", say "because of this"
Bare witness to the creative epicness you are missing. Tom ain’t the only one
I listened to rap when I was younger, but not anymore. I do like this, TM is the first rapper in a long time that I like. I don't like mumble rap or rap that has no substance or meaning. I like TM's kind of rap because it is like listening to a story or audiobook, it is captivating, I get lost in listening to his words and I can understand everything he says ✌🏼✌️✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿🤘🏻💚 ...which is more like the old skool stuff
"I'm a mess, and I know you don't deserve it. You're the best, and I'm a pretty stupid person. Nonetheless, you try to help me 'cause i'm hurting. I confess, sometimes I feel like i'm not worth it. I don't drink, 'cause when i'm drunk, i'm a problem. I don't care who I hurt, I feel awesome. HOLY CRAP, IT'S EITHER JAIL OR A COFFIN, SOON ENOUGH I'MA BE AT ROCK BOTTOM."
Hit me hard. Tom, you get it dog.
Only discovered Tim Macdonald in the last few weeks, I'm in the UK. I feel less alone hearing a voice preaching the same sermon. There's no hate from this man and we have shared some of the same path in life. Thank you Mr Macdonald, stay strong and keep sharing 🇺🇲🇬🇧💪🦁💪🇬🇧🇺🇲

Didn't mean to type this I was holding phone and didn't realise
I Have 16 years, YOU GOT THIS.
I dont drink cause i grew up with my father being a alcoholic, seen it as kid still see it today. Told myself i'll never be like him, its my goal
Me too, i can relate. Now he's older still hitting the bottle daily. I feel like his time is about to run out. His health is in obvious decline. I will never allow myself to end up like him.
Support, keep up man !
I drink occasionally but never get drunk. I have alcoholism and abusive behavior linked to it on both sides of my family (thank goodness both my parents broke that cycle) so I’m against it for that reason. I was also raised Catholic so I think getting drunk is immoral. So that helps.
By this statement i know you won't be like him stay strong man i know its hard to watch your Dad drink himself to death mine is also doing it your not alone bro
@Truthbetold hey man, youre may not be perfect but youre doing great. if your daughter loves you and youre both happy, thats really most important.
I love my support for him and my husband ! My husband got sober because of this artist ! Thank you Tom for your messages and your story lines . You saved my husband's life ! Your his fav. Much love ! Life is so much better. He suffers from mental health issues but you helped him when he needed someone the most besides me . Thanks again.
So happy for you both
Awesome Great Job!! Best of luck 👍🏼 to your husband & you ♡
"Mental health issues" = You're a royal pain in his ass. Respectfully.
Just gave me goosebumps. Goosebumps can show you how truthful and valuable something can be
Well done 🍀
I love how Tom gets so personal with his music. It's refreshing to hear something other than "my bling" "my money" "my cars" "my hoes". I just didn't care for the song. Of course it's still better than 90% of this supposed music others make. Keep doing you Tom.
really? this is just as common and overdone as the other music. its just a different type of exploitation. it isnt hard to pull on the heartstrings of addicts. he isnt doing anything new.
I love how the ones that say it’s better are ones who don’t listen to any of it anyway. You don’t care for the song? Then it ain’t better than shit, music is an art form primarily hinging on rhythm. Maybe if you go back and listen to the 90% you’ll realize it’s a lot catchier and that’s the skill behind it. Just cause you talk about “real” shit doesn’t mean it’s not “real shitty”
@@werdle92 been awhile since I heard someone speak their life experiences they way Tom does. THAT is what makes me a fan.

Congratulations 👏
Congratulations keep trudging ❤
Awesome! My 5 years was June 17th. I feel the same about the song!
7/17/2012 for me.
Tom is telling his own story.
I’m in my late 40’s and I never drank in my life. When I was a little kid around 12 years old my father used to come home drunk every night and yell at my mother and me for no reason. I made a promise to myself that when I grow up I will NEVER drink and become like my father. 35 years later and I’m still keeping that promise that I made to myself when I was 12 years old. I’m actually very proud to say that I’m 47 years old and I have no idea what it feels like to be drunk. Even to this day I still don’t touch the stuff.
Almost the same except I'm 45 and my step dad was the alcoholic and he physically abused me till I ran away from home at 16.
I do have a glass of wine maybe once a year lol but never till my kids were grown and moved out.
Congrats
When you are ready you should atleast try a drink for a light buzz maybe when you get older :)
You never have to drink. You dont need it, youre living your best life without that shit
So much respect!
3 years sober and any time I feel like drinking, I listen to this song and remember why it’s a horrible idea
I wish that some of the lyrics would refer to me when I'm drunk. I know I drink too much but I don't behave like an asshole or do stupid things, but I'm afraid of my health. On the other side I escape all the bullshit that's going on right now and I'm happy to miss a couple of hours every other day!
Congratulations Victoria!
I'm fighting the same war brother. Great message, thanks for the show. 3 years for the rest of my life... I've been having nightmares about using, this song puts me back into a better place!!!
You are now part of the Hang Over Gang, congrats!
Proud of you! I’m a retired EMT, and this makes me smile! My brother was sober for 16 years, and started to think he could drink socially again. Let’s just say it didn’t end well, but he is two years sober again. Stay healthy 🥰
That was fun to watch and dome of the words ring true for me also. I don't drink...anymore. Cheers!

Hahahaha true shit
He's what the world needs more than ever!!!!! The people in power are trying to divide us and the reality is we need to join together, colour really is not the problem now its media and government trying to keep us occupied with blaming each other.
@@swisstoni5844 This era might be the last opportunity for the elite to play the races off of each other. The internet is red-pilling everyone about everything. The elite are getting more desperate, that's why they're trying so damn hard to find racists or make racists. Billions are being spent on the programs designed to find or make them. They destroyed the black community by poisoning their women against their men and making it profitable. Now they're going after every community.
This has never been about race, it was always about the elite maintaining dynastic power over everyone else. Every political system gets corrupted by their ilk so that the best thieves reap the most rewards. From Communism to Fascism the elite always eat the bounty and give scraps to the rest of us. All while putting the hoi polloi at each other's throats.
They won't be able to get away with this for very much longer. Even in the deep South, families are getting mixed with all races. Hard to claim racism when everyone is some combination of all races. They'll still try... but they'll fail.

I quit rapping when I became an alcoholic and my fans were worried that I was going to quit. I've been sober for a year as of November 8th and now I'm back playing shows and my life is finally mine again. Anyone going through the same or similar know that although it's rough, it's possible and I support you 💯.
Thank you Tom 🌻
Im so happy for you, I hope your doing well, also whats your rapper name and stuff? I wanna hear
I wish I had been aware of your music before my ex- husband died. Your words could have helped him. Cirrhosis killed him at 58. He was sober the last 10 months of his life. He was finally realizing how his life was ruined by addictions. Addicts don't have families. They take hostages. RIP Tom. That was his name too.
After declaring last night that I'm done with alcohol, I hear this song first thing this morning.
Been a month how's that going? Hope you can stay strong.
Hope your doing well! Your strong and you can!
Keep listening and remembering why you quit! There's more to live for!!
Guess, if he isn’t updating this comment from when he was waking up hungover from a bender we all know what’s happening. Leaving an addiction behind, especially one that’s truly inside of you, takes a whole hell of a lot more than a hopeful comment online to walk away from. With that said, if he ever comes back and looks through these comments they could be what saves his life, we’ve all been there brother, we all are still right there with you, even if we haven’t touched our doc in years. No matter how low you get remember that you have an entire life ahead of you. Time to change, or at least try too. I can’t even count the times I’ve hit a milestone and been overran with sorrow and went right back, how many times I’ve disappointed everyone in my life, how close to death I’ve gotten and continued to play with fate. I’m on medication that allows me to have a life. I am truly my worst enemy, just like everyone in this thread or comment section is, so take our advice, and stay strong, stay positive and know our shared struggles make us stronger. Good luck and know, we believe in you.
@@narcoleptic-insomniac4663, yes I'm still drinking. I haven't had a binge like that since. Alcoholism runs in my family which doesn't help any. It was easier to quit drugs than this.
I've come to the conclusion that Tom Macdonald is a social rehabilitation expert. He's making an upbeat bop of a song. At the same time he's making his listeners more conscious of themselves and their impact on others. This man is a fucking treasure.
Still coping with my husband from time to time but things have slowly over time gotten better and I've continued to fight I showed him your song sing it the next morning after every slip up because it really hits home thank you❤️
This song reminds me of my 20’s with all the dumb shit I did and people I hurt or let down. It’s also a reminder of why I no longer drink. I got tired of waking up lost with no money.

Thank you for this song. I'm not an addict but I have a sister who has been a recovering addict for about 4 years now. So, I have a different point of view on it. But, the songs you've released about your own struggles helps me better understand what it's like for someone who is in recovery or still struggling.
I'm a 50 year old metal head, but I like this guy. Just discovered him a few days ago, not a fan of the tats, but don't judge a book by its cover..
53 here, I am floored by Tom and Nova.
My normal music...Static X, Pantera...
One of his lyrics is "Don't judge the engine by the paint."
"Better a painted face than a painted soul" -Grandma
55 here, another old metal head- it's been a long time since I've heard truth in lyrics like Tom's- I'm a fan for life now.
48, for ever metal, hardcore and punkrock. This is nice though.
Thank you, Tom and Nova, for restoring hope. Your music is cross generation and is clearly inspired by God. ❤️

"I don't drink, because when I'm drunk, I'm retarded..." Is far too relatable to me.
So the first time I heard this I died laughing at this line.... but then im like holy shit it’s just sooo real 🙂🙂
Your not alone I drink then I make people mad
@Both Parties Suck I do smoke. You're right though. I don't act like a fucking moron when I am stoned.
Not shit... Even the getting naked in a nightclub part is relatable to me...
@@OutOfTheBoxThinker loool
“Lost the fight together, that’s a win to me.” Glad I am not alone on this concept.
You're not alone brother
Makes 3 of us then
Yup. Hangovergangforver!
We got you hommie
Nothing like a tru friend that will stand and fight no matter what the odds are
Never thought I'd find a song that fits my son so perfectly.
This song is always a perfect reminder why I quit drinking 7.5 years ago...it’s either jail or a coffin. Thank you for this masterpiece.
6 beers in on a Thursday, this song comes to me and makes me realize that maybe I need to step back and check out my own life. Gos bless this Man and his whole team. He is singing THE TRUTH no matter the subject
How you doing?
300 o clock been up since 3 drinking all day probably about 12 beers close no stopping anytime soon not that I want to I just can't right now it's my best friend when I have none also my worst enemy.
@@jessicafitoo God bless you and help with your struggle. Stay strong brother
Moderation, drink to relax, not get drunk, if you're going to abuse alcohol, leave it alone.
The fact that Tom isn’t on the radio tells you everything you need to know.
Ya, for sure some of the best music never makes it to the radio. That’s ok I don’t listen to radio anyway lol
Was just thinking that today
Truth or the ones who barely make it on. Says a lot to me.
What the hell is the radio?
But he is on TH-cam, Pandora & who knows where else🤘🏻🤘🏻
I am 31yrs sober. This song reminded me why I have to stay sober. Thanks for the song
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! 💗
Sober 8 yrs and 5 months! 50 year old woman and love Tom Macdonald!
congratulations!! youre doing amazing!! :)
🙏🏼
Keep it up buddy you're doing great 😉
Jacqueline Sharron Congratulations for staying true to yourself. I’m sure some words of the song holds true for you, I know they hold true for me and why I don’t drink any more. I got tired of being an A-hole. Again congratulations!
Amen🙏
He’s an amazing guy. I’m 66 almost 67 but I’m totally mesmerized by his all of his music
I never heard of this guy until today. I love it! I had 15 years and threw it out and now I have little over 21 months clean.
Sounds to me like you 16+ years and one bad night. That's a victory
I agree with Omari’s comment here above… you have 16+ years with a rough patch or a bad night… no reason to start back at day 1. You’re definitely not the same person as you were…it’s not possible.
Don't give up
I just love what you are doing. God saved me from multiple addictions...one of which was drinking. I can so relate and have to smile almost all the way thru the song. Awsom beats dude. Keep up the good work. Jesus loves you soo much.
Tom is the only one who can make "holy crap" sound good in a song
He failed here
@@Kyle-sv8nu when he didn't (kyle sucks)
Kyle Duke clearly saying that cause you don’t understand what he’s saying
Yup
That's why they use autotune
How can a song be so deep, yet so hilarious? Tom, you are a lyrical KING!
Lyrical savant
BINGO Charlene!!!! 🎯🎉👍😊
He is a genius.
He's the best
Tom is on a whole another level. This song hit me deep. Rock on brother!
When I pass, I want this beautiful & hilarious masterpiece played when my days come. Hopefully someone doesn’t drop my ashes on the way or forget me. Much love! Thank you🙏🏻
His talents to be able to produce amazing music in multiple genres is insane.
Thanks Tom .. reminds me oh everyday in my mid twenties .. thanks man i ended up with cancer in my chest at 28 and that was when I stopped and ended up with a great life got married to the nurse that roomed me that day and now I'm 38 living with one lung got a son a farm animals and a business owner .. every one has there day !!! As long as you don't ever give up !!

Truth!
Five years in October. I will NOT die a drunk.
Congratulations!! Sep 19th is my 90 days. WE will not die drunks.. you're not alone.. 🥰
I'm trying. My gf blew her brians out with my gun died in my bed June of 2019. I was in the livingroom and heard the shot. I've been self medicating ever since. I want to change but it's really hard when you're all alone 24/7
Chef Life That’s a “big oh my”in this world we live in. But there’s something bigger we aren’t too keen to yet and that’s alright. I feel like she’s there. Eternal life is beautiful and significantly abounding compared to this spec of salt tossed on the timeline we have. Have faith. It’s not what we do, but what Jesus did. We’re all sinners.. doesn’t matter how much or how little. We all are. We don’t compare. None of us are good. The person who points to themselves about their goodness... do not worry about them that’s a faulty on their part and shows weakness. Lol trust me. you opened up, shows your humbleness which is actually strength and is honorable. Cling onto Him. He is the only medicine. Doubt is natural, but still cling! That’s all we can do, but nothing we can do is enough. What He did was everything. Like I said, a spec of salt... stay strong, this is nothing compared to what is later!
Hell yeah man
My dad just hit 30 years my guy. Stay strong
I actually really enjoy the little interaction clips at the end between Tom and Nova. In a world where so many people never learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, it's nice to see a couple who are genuinely happy together and have each other's backs. And it makes me think about my fiance, in turn making my day a bit better. :) best of luck to both of you for many many years to come.
I enjoy it as well because there aren't many relationships nowadays that you can really look towards and just think, "good for them, they're figuring this whole thing out just fine."
I really love how much props hog fam gives to Nova instead of only ever acknowledging Tom. Almost every reactor and comment section give shoutouts to her for how amazing it turns out.
Can’t sum it up better, Thank you for talking to me and reminding me what I’ve put this hard work in for these last five years sober. Time to earn five more.
This song literally shook me. I've been struggling with drinking for years and the last time I got drunk I hurt a lot of people and I've been trying hard to avoid alcohol ever since. I've only had 1 drink in the last 4-5 months. Love how open and honest this guy is. Keep em coming MacDonald!
Play golf! Best thing for me!
Yup this is my 6th ride on the Sober Train in the last 8 years.... He describes me to a T ....this song and DEMON ALCOHOL ar songs to help remind one how bad we are when drunk...all it takes is ONE SIP...and BAM...DRUNKARD ONCE AGAIN
My first drink was at 18 years old and that was it for me. I loved drinking and the feeling of being drunk so much that I went to university, not to get an education but to drink heavily. And I did. It got to the point where I would wait until midday to drink because I convinced myself that alcoholics drink in the morning and if I wait until the afternoon, I'm not an alcoholic. I also used to put vodka in beer to get drunk quicker but not taste it and I would buy a bottle of coke from the corner store, pour half of it out, then fill the other half with rum or whisky so I could drink on the street without people realising it. Now I rarely drink these days and it's honestly better.
Almost been 2 years for me. I was acting a fool with booze. Shit's not good for you
This song caused me to make the decision to stop drinking on the day this song came out.... Thanks Tom you have saved my life.. I love all your music
One day at a time boss. You got it.
Gonna try and do the same
U are both role models an mentors to ppl going thru the same struggle thx more than u can know...my farther is an alcoholic and has not met any of his three grandchildren that I have birthed and I commend u on ur effort to educate and inform ppl of the consequences og alcoholism...thank u
Of* acoholism
Thank yoy
This song made me feel like getting sober was the best decision I ever made
I'm fighting the same war brother. Great message, thanks for the show. 3 years for the rest of my life... I've been having nightmares about using, this song puts me back into a better place!!!
I just want to say Good luck. You will be in my prayers. You can do it!

Yes Just For Today...
it makes me feel like I'm a recovering alcoholic, and I fucking hate beer and shit. I just smoke
I learned at rehab that my drinking was "stinkin thinkin". This song champions my success.
Thanks. Tommy!

GLAD WHERE PROUD
4 years, no drinking. I don’t miss the blackouts, the fights or the hangovers. Just the social aspect but I guess that’s kind of difficult these days lol
Just keep it poppin. Keeping growing and becoming and better person, and look for people that do the same. You'll kind that social group of "do nothings" will soon be replaced that will motivate you to do more and be more.
Same here man, ain't got drunk since 2017
yeah man I feel you it's been five years for me and I was just talking about it today before this video is released about well you know just reminiscing on all the social fun then you have all the financialthe empty wallet in the morning with the massive hangover face down with your shoes still on
Is rather smoke a joint anyday of the week. Alcohol has to many down sides.
I'm 20 and have never gotten drunk to.this day. I've lost "friends" because I choose not to drink with them. All I see is the destruction alchohol cause and how people change from it. When I was younger my mom left my dad and the week she left my dad turned to.alchol passing out every night from it and causing destruction he then killed himself. To have fun now a days I guess people have to alter their minds.
To all of you commenting your stories of sobriety and struggles with substance abuse, stay strong. I am proud of you all!! Keep it up! 🥰
Lol I 12
I love u too xx
