I'm two years clean off heroin and quit the day my girlfriend died from overdose next to me while we slept. We were together for 12 years.. the most beautiful girl you could ever see, even as an addict. She was my best friend and losing her I've lost myself. I still havent moved on or been with anyone else. I cant. There was nobody like her and we were so ready to get clean. We both were about to go in rehab. I regret that last night of partying. Something I have to live with and if I could I would take her place so her mom can have her daughter back. I'm her son now but it's not the same. Everywhere I go I carry a letter she wrote me while in jail that says I cant wait to come home. It's like I'm still waiting for her to walk in that door. I miss her so much and only girl I have ever loved. This song kind of put my mind at ease. Thank you for your lyrics and passion. RIP tierany
I listen to this song and it makes me sad and grateful at the same time...See Im a 41 year old man who used Meth for 15 years. It took me to alot if dark places and it made me angry, abusive and cold! I did 3 prison terms behind my addiction but today i type this comment with 85 months clean off that shit! I lost countless relationships, my kids and my sanity in those years....Im now a proud small business owner, my fiancé is becoming a nurse and were raising 3 great kids with a 4th on the way!! God is so good
Congratulations, that's not an easy addiction to break free from and most don't last 15 years in the belly of that beast...your prison time probably saved your life in a way. Although I don't know directly about meth addiction, I know how hard an addiction can be to break habit from...that's a pretty amazing story my man, someone had your back in the realm of angels.
I lost my son on March 28,24. He was only17. It was an accidental suicide. No drugs involved. This was one of his favorite songs. He sang it everyday esp in the shower with speaker and all. I would mute the tv most times and just listen. 😢 I didn’t know you could miss someone this much. I’m not sure the meaning it had to him if any and he just liked it. Either way I listen to this song everyday.
Hugs Donna. I just lost my nephew who was 18. The day before his graduation to suicide. His funeral was just last Thursday. Been listening to this and crying every day. Love and hugs to you.
I lost my son on February 17th, 2024...he was only 14 and it was a fentanyl overdose. My heart goes out to you...there is no pain greater than losing your child. I hope you are finding some small ways to be ok min by min...
Thank you I wish no one to have to fight these demons I know god has a plan and in the end I will prevail so until then keep me in yal prayers please, and thank you....
From your child, your son, I send you a message; I'm sorry I couldn't give you perfection. I'm sorry loving me meant hurt beyond comprehension. But rest easy. Yall will meet again. As a fellow addict that will leave this world too early. Please embrace this. His love or lack there of was never the cause of his path. I pray my mom will know too that some of us are meant to be the light to bring understanding to a world we would never wantvyall to live 1 day through. With sincere love, I hope you know it wasnt you.
This guy sings the truth in this song. I been lost and given up on everything. So has my wife. Time to go get help. With the meth and pills that I struggle with sice I was 14. I'm 35 now. I comeing to you hun. I know we're u are. We Will fight this battle to thgather baby. I know u waiting for me. And have been. God laid it on me tonight.
I cry every time I hear this song. I first heard it while my precious daughter was getting clean. This song reminds me of the nights spent walking the floor and praying for her. I think of her frail body and the constant fear that she was going to slip from this world. My little girl is now a walking testimony that there is a road out of the meth nightmare. I used to be so judgmental when I crossed paths with somebody lost in this world. Now I realize these people are daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, husbands and wives to people who are walking the floors and crying out to God in their behalf, praying for them to be healed of the things that led them to meth. I'm so thankful to have my little girl back. I pray for those still lost....and the people who love them so much it hurts.
Donna Calloway I feel you. My girlfriend, my soul, is battlin that addiction. heroin and meth, shes locked up now, but i realize where its headed. I love her the same. I refuse to lay a flower on her grave. I refuse to. i love her so much, im glad that the law grabbed her b4 life could. I love her so...
Meth ruined me. Today is 30 day sober, I’m barely coming out of the Fog but feeling a little more like myself again. I would weep in tears, high as hell, knowing I could be so much more. If you’re struggling, you aren’t alone. Find your nearest Alano club or meeting room, and you’ll see you’re life isn’t so unique and that many strangers want the best for you and they’ll show you how to get your first day clean and sober. Much love.
Hope you’re winning we all get twisted!! Makes you a better person to know that once a drug addict always an addict !! You change that !! And don’t ever !! Once u dig and dig and get it you can tell people who u are and know they will Judge !! Knowing who you are will help you through your shit !! Best advice u can have !!if u know who you are u can tell people who u are and love your self and work yourself out of that situation!!! Bet!!!
Spent 20 minutes reading comments, I cherish and respect the people stories of getting sober. There's a bright beautiful world out there and it wants us all in it regardless of misfortune. Continue keep on keeping on!
Addiction is a very serious an tricky thing, and it's not just dope ! Sex , Gambling etc.!!!!! It can come in many forms, as I've discovered. I'm GREATFUL " to God daily im not locked up somewhere for have not getting caught up in a stupid mistake along the way! Honestly
I’ve lost too many friends to addiction. I hope anyone reading this that’s going through any kind of struggle finds the strength to quit. We’re all rooting for you 🫶
I remember being deep into addiction when this song came out. I listened to it probably thousands of times. Last Sunday I celebrated 10 months being clean from meth. Song still brings me to tears but I'm happy I'm not on that pathway anymore!
I'm 10 day clean and sober and a friend sent me this song and it brought me to my knees right where I stood and made me think God for my friends and family
I hope you are still moving forward, staying clean. If you fall, get back up. Staying sober isn’t a race it’s a marathon. You are in this for the long haul. You’ll make mistakes, do dumb things, trust the wrong people. You’ll even trust yourself before you are strong enough to do so. All of that means you are still alive and kicking and if you are alive there is still hope! You are no worse nor better than anybody else who has fought addiction. So don’t let setbacks crush you. You have strengths and resilience that you are not even aware you have yet. Addiction didn’t cause you to use. Something else caused you to use and you became addicted. Address that cause. In whatever way you are comfortable with, prayer, counseling, a combination. Address the trauma. Address the traumas suffered in addiction. You are worth this work. You are valuable. Your life is valid and needed in this world. You can do this. You can. There is more beauty and love and strength inside you than you can even fathom. When you are at your breaking point…that is not the moment you are about to shatter. That is a breakthrough point. Stand there until you make it through. Come back here for support. Join support groups online. Get to meetings. You do whatever it takes. You fight. Because you are worth the fight. And you are never alone. Never. There are people, all over the world, strangers, mamas and daddies, sisters, brothers, survivors…praying for you.
Hey Kevin, I hope your still clean 6 months later. If your not, you haven’t failed. It took me 3 or 4 years of starts and stops before got control. I’m 20+ years clean today. I turned my back on all my “friends” and walked away. I discovered I was completely alone. I spent so much time surrounding myself with a circle of drug people I had no clean or normal people left. I had, and still have trouble making friends since I become bored with people easily. I have nothing in common with most people and keeping everyone at arms reach keeps me safe. It’s been an adjustment. Today I long for a good friend but I can’t warm up to anyone except my gal. The first time I heard this song I had found out that a girl I knew had overdosed and died 5 years prior. She was a train wreck. She poked holes in her arms and popped Selma’s and oxies to come down to sleep. Honey Ann died at age 45. I never slept with her. But like in the song where he saw her through a broken window with a different point of view. I saw her differently and I guess I was in love with her. Her passing hurt me so. She had the most beautiful blue eyes for a dark skinned Native American girl. Haunting blue… anyway I hope your well.
I hope you're still clean and doing well. If not, don't give up. Get back on that path and keep doing it. If a junkie like me can get clean 7 years ago, anybody can do it. Push hard. You can do it. Never give up. Keep your mind busy
22 years old.. been addicted too pain pills since I was 16.. just couldnt lay em down. 6 months ago my beautiful baby boy was born and that was the moment I never wanted too touch another one. He is my drug... his smile is my high... I wanna be better me for him. Thank the lord he sent me blessing, I wouldnt trade the love for my son for any drug in the world. He needs me and I'm not risking my life anymore. For all who are still fighting this battle I just want to say too yaw.... dont quit fighting fight too your last breath if you get knocked down get back up and keep swinging.. you only live once dont spend this life chasing a high you cant catch. You can do this!

I bet it was hard as hell for you to write that I wouldn't know what to do without my wife I've lost friends to overdoes not quite the same. Stay strong my brother and remember we will all be home with our loved ones one day.
I found the song “Stone” the day after my dad passed away and “Broken window serenade” after my brother overdosed on meth 7 days later. Them songs have such deep meaning and Brings me to tears every time. Thank you Whiskey Myers for the absolutely amazing music. The music you all make hits home. Your music got me out of some bad situations and I’m forever thankful. I’m one of your guy’s biggest fans. Thank you guys. “I threw in a pretty flower as they laid you low, Yeah it was a rose, I thought you should know” That hit me so hard, as I laid a rose in my dad and brothers coffins.
Stone and Broken Window are painfully beautiful songs! I love the passion, saddened by the misfortune. Every day is a battle... Find strength in our battles
I'm 18 fixing to be 19 on the 3rd and 4 years clean from meth my mama still struggling with the same addiction and the sad part is I don't she will ever get clean it sucks watching your best friend slowly fade away
@JoseMartinez-xe7xf that is does man, congrats on getting clean. Prayers for your mother, hopefully she will get clean too. It's very hard to do, but once achieved life is great! God bless!
Been clean from meth 20yrs..but that demon NEVER stops knocking. Some days you consider letting him in but songs like this remind you that probably isn't a good idea!🥀
Five years clean here and you couldn’t be more right. I’m from a small texas town and it feels like he’s singing about the people i grew up with. The song always gave me chills.
My mom was the girl from my childhood that I lost to addiction. After he talked in the start I just broke down first time I had cried about my mom. Didn't know I needed that. Thank you
This song was dedicated to me by a neighbor amd a fellow drug addict when i was in my relapse mode.... I always think of this song and i am so glad im sober. Today is my 5 year mark since i touched a needle
A lot of our brothers and sisters never find freedom again. Donate....volunteer. The clean addicts are the best doctors. Happy for you! Blaze your trail girl!
Congratulations Chelsea no one understands what we had to go through, I’m also five years strong☦️❤️. Thank yo WM for this powerful song. Thank you Lord for giving him this song for us.
Momma was superwoman to me at one point in my life. No dad just her and my older sister. Drugs don’t discriminate at all. Miss you everyday Ma 💔 Rest peacefully beautiful. And also congratulations to everyone in the comment section sharing their sobriety or the ones admirable enough to share their struggles. And to those struggling please never fucking stop trying or wanting to get better or give up or give in. It may feel like rock bottom but somebody told me a long time ago there’s such thing as negative numbers for a reason. It can get worse. But it can also get better you just have to truly want it. So many people that don’t even know you want it for you. I know it’s hard after a certain while to care about yourself with whatever trauma or situations and hell you been through I truly understand. Just know it can’t rain forever. A beautiful life is waiting for you and I hope to God you find it and never let go of it. I love all of you beautiful people. God Bless you 💚
God bless you and your message my friend 💙👍 Jesus saved me from my hell..not everyone’s path but you’re 💯 you just gotta believe things will get better and they will. Thanks for this 👍
I made it out alive. I just wish other people would stop reminding me of my mistakes...That I’m never going to be good enough. I’m still alive to prove them all wrong. #onedayatatime
That's what drives me is showing all those dumb morherfuckers that there wrong I can do it an I am doing it but same time always stay on my toes never get complacent I think that is the word i an getting comfortable that's when the devil will jump off your shoulders back in bti your life it's been 5yrs clean for me from a 29 year heroin/ crack run I overdosed 2 days in a row that's when I finally decided enough is enough
A couple of pretty flowers Is what I brought I to you I saw you through a broken window With a different point of view You had signs of depression From a long line of sin And your face tells a story Bout the places you have been I love you so, I thought you should know And that muddy waters flowin As you take my hand Past the creek down by the holler Through your daddy's land I could buy you a diamond But I cannot change your world Cuz I ain't got no money You'll never be my girl no no I thought you should know You was gonna be a singer Or be a movie star But you cant catch no breaks baby And Hollywood is hard Now you work down at the Time Out Off 155 And you're dancing for your dollar Just tryin' to stay alive It hurts me so I thought you should know You feed your addiction With your crystal meth And I plea for your life as it takes you to your death You make your deal with the devil As your looks begin to fade I saw you laughin' through the tears As you slowly slipped away I watched you go I thought you should know Yeah I watched you go I thought you should know That cold rain is pourin' As they lay you in a grave I can barely recognize you In your fragile state No more signs of depression From a long time ago I throw in a pretty flower As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose I thought you should know Yeah it was a rose I thought you should know A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you I saw you through a broken window With a different point of view
That's such a beautiful song. He came in concert a couple of years ago and I was surprised that he didn't perform this song. He was on before Jamey Johnson and it seemed like they rushed Whiskey Myers off stage so Jamey could get set up. I would have preferred to hear this song and Stone. Hopefully I will get the chance to see him again and he will preform these. I love this song so much. I know so many people who are active in their addiction's and I know so many who have lost their battle. Keep kickin ass Whiskey.
As an addict... This song touches me... You don't realize the pain you cause others cuz you're only thinking of yourself... 10 years sober and I still feel guilty
Last use October 2010 here. Best you can do is try to make amends to those you’ve wronged. Then it’s on them to forgive you or not. I totally understand though. God bless you. 10 years is a long time! Here’s to 100 more.
This song really hits home...its mine and my husband's song really had a big impact on our lives we were both heavy meth users. I ended up doing 2 yrs he ended up doing 2 1/2 years in prison and some how we made it through and now have a bright sober life ahead of us...recovery is possible!
It works if you work it. We are all worth it. Thank you for sharing. I was a heavy meth user myself.... I hit the lowest point in my life about 2 weeks ago... I have 13 days sober and counting. I have to thank the fellowship of A.A. and N.A. members and people like you and your husband showing that recovery is possible and no one is helpless. Bless both you and may god grant you serenity
@@Jsedjen he layed a rose on her casket as they lowered her down. Hes talking to his dead love he wanted her to know the flower he left for her was a rose. 😢
Just got out of jail on Sunday. I heard this song when i was feeling broken in jail and made me cry pretty hard. So much unbelievably raw emotion. 25 days sober today. It’s hard because I had 10 months and relapsed again man. But just gotta keep moving forward
Addiction is tough. Just remember to forgive yourself. We beat ourselves up and tend to give up. But remember it's a tough battle but the reward is well worth it.
I come from a small town that has been ravaged by methamphetamine, heroin, and alcohol over the past decade. I've lost old classmates, friends, and family members to their vices.Unfortunately, I'll never get that time back. This story is more than Whiskey Myers' is more than his story, it's my story and so many other people's stories. I'm just glad that someone is telling it and so beautifully at that.
Adam Bennett a I lost my life be cus of math . I lost some won that many the world to me. I nave will no Wy she did whut she did put I do no this it tock my world and dove it rit of a kielf.seem to me I wud nuthing put old bare over shows thrown in the dumb.

Adam Bennett I am so sorry brother. Addiction is the worst. Addiction is the devil. It does not discriminate. I love all . Keep your head up and be good.
I’m 19 1/2 years sober,… well I’ve been in the clinic for that long. I’ve not taken or done anything other then little pot and I quit that in ‘09. Praise GOD! Going to the clinic and taking medicine, many people don’t believe that is completely clean and they’re probably right, but I haven’t done any street drugs are broken in law and I have been very productive and had the same job for going on 14 years. Praise GOD
Just buried my best friend and the love of my life. I always listened to this song the past five years. Wishing that she didn’t live this song. But she’s at rest now. No more dealing with the devil 🤙 Love you.
Nov 3 will be 4 years clean from all mood and mind altering substances. My doc was meth and weed. This song was sent to me twice in the same day by two different people that didn't even know each other. It made me think about what I was doing. God spoke to me with this song. It was a warning. God bless you all!
I'm 398 days sober from this awful drug, but this song still hurts my soul. Praying for all of you struggling with addiction, sending healing vibes your way to help you reach recovery. Much love to all. Xoxo.
Meth has taken away my best friend and my only love. Watching him struggle and become a hollow shell of the beautiful person he once was, is the hardest thing I've ever been through. To mourn someone who isn't even dead yet. To watch their souls disappear in their eyes and become strangers to you. I've tried to fight his addiction for years,but I couldn't change his ways. That's a choice he could never fully make. This song really hits home. I pray that all those lost souls find peace and remember their are people out there who love you.
Amber Walker I’ve been through the same thing. I read ur words... that’s exactly how I felt. Ur not alone. I’m sorry if it’s worth anything. Don’t give up. Just pray. Thank u for sharing ur story.
I’m going through the same thing.. the love of my life of almost 4 years and now we have a babygirl on the way, but he chose meth.. Lord please heal my heart because I can’t do this alone..
That shit killed two of my best hunting buddies and almost killed me. Thank the Creator and my awesome wife who found me on the floor doing the 'fish' and called 911. Six years clean. ☀️
This one goes out to those who have gone down that long hard road, and to those of you still suffering. May you find sobriety, and peace. I'm 22 years clean, and I sincerely hope that you find your way, you're still loved.
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH. STOP GIVING YOUR WOKE ADVICES. EVERYBODY IS LIVING WITH GOD. WE ALL KNOW THAT, EVEN CHUCK NORRIS. BUT TO GIVE ADVICES MAKES NOTHING BETTER. IF YOU WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD,...AND YOU WANT IT....😰 Change your own life. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE WORLD, YOU CAN ONLY ACCEPT THE OPINION OF OTHER PEOPLE.. DU KANNST DIE WELT NICHT ÄNDERN, NUR DEINE EINSTELLUNG ZU IHR.
This song hits home and when I first heard it I cried my eyes out, shit I still do bc that girl is me. I am slowly getting through the depression and addiction but everyday is a battle. "Yeah I watched you go..I thought you should know" whiskey myers 🖤🖤
It’s never too late, But The only easy day was yesterday. You Keep fighting and no matter the cost Don't give up! You're appreciated, you’re smart, you’re wanted, you’re stronger than you think. You may still hit a few bumps in the road but you keep fighting, I believe in you.
I'm from the same area . I remember these guys Killin it at all the bars around e Texas. Time out was a gentleman's club in Tyler. This song does hit home , everyone knows someone going through addiction andnthey all have one thing in common. They're all hurt . I'm coming up on 14 months free from opiates after 20 years of use. We lost our cousin , Justin townes earle in 2020. It's hard to listen to his music now . That really hits me.
As I sit here missing my other half and fighting addiction this song gives me strength and hope.... strength to walk away from this demon in my life and the hope that I can be there for my lover as he struggles and be his rock... RN I'm struggling as my body cries out for relief from withdrawal... I rebuke this evil in Jesus precious name, Lord please give me strength...
This song touches my heart. When I was in rehab a close family friend past a way from a overdose. My brother went to her funeral, the next day he came to visit me . I will never forget his words to me,he said as he looked at her in that casket all he could see is me. I have been sober now for 17 years.
My ex wife went through the same thing. After we split up she lost herself. Our separation was hard on her...I can't help but feel like I played a part in it because of that. Sadness is a lonely road and being inside your head is an awful big place to be by yourself. Addiction is terrible. People change and get lost in their habits. This song rings so true and touches me at my core...at one time she was truly loved by me. I couldn't go to her funeral and missed giving her a 🌹. Rest easy Sue.
Lost the love of my life to meth, this song captures all the things I felt while watching it change her into someone I don’t know. Makes me cry every time I hear it
I know how you feel I lost my wife around 2years ago off 22 years to that meth shit and I will never be the same again I still miss you dearly lisa love always
Almost 4 weeks clean of weed, I’ll be off to the navy. But this song sticks so close to my heart, I lost my mother when I was 4 to a homicide . A drug deal gone wrong …
My daughter has had a methamphetamine addiction for 14 yrs. 2months ago she came to my house but she had a stroke in my front yard and was air lifted to be Raleigh Duke. Now in spite of everything she still uses every day. There is nothing I can do to help her. Her brother asked her to listen to this song. Now I listen to it cause I live with the fear that this is how it will take her. She is my heart ❤️❤️❤️ l don't know that I can live in this world without her in it😢😓.
Prayers and hugs! My daughter had a massive heart attack last June and passed away in December from methamphetamine use. It is a rough road for those that care for them. My daughter was sober for over 10 years then she started again. I have 2 of her 4 children, the oldest turned 18 and lived with me until he graduated from high school and I have the 2 youngest to raise now. Again many prayers and hugs.
My Brother's children's mother passed away last year from a heroin overdose. This song reminds of her so much. She was a friend for over 20 year's even though we lost contact we always had that youthful innocent childhood bond. I've been learning guitar for five years. This is the only song that I sing and play at the same time. I ROCK OUT TO THIS WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY SOUL. Thank you for creating this song.
My God, what a powerful song. Praying for everyone out there struggling with addiction, and everyone who loves someone who is. If you're reading this, IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
Hello Whiskey Myers. I've heard your song about 50 times. It means that much to me. Today I am not overwhelmed by it. Rather, at peace with it. The gut wrenching honesty, the truth, the whole thing. I love you for writing this most important song. To those who are suffering? I implore you to hear this song everyday. And really truly hear it Feel it. And let it move you to a better place. Never give up!!!
Every day the demon says come on.... I slip but shake my head. There's got to be something more inviting than a slow death of destruction. I look but there is nothing to pull me away. Will I always be on this path or will something turn my direction? I go clean then hit a bump and I'm back again. I always thought it would stop. Thought I can change. Been a drug trafficker and done federal time. Is it love that saves someone? Someone like me? Or will I die with roses in my grave? I cannot see. I am alone and the demons pick on me. I start counseling this week. I hope she can guide the way. For I hate the weakness of the euphoria it creates. Whiskey Myers keep touching souls. I am shedding tears and I pray for strength of a solution of a addiction gone mad!! Right now I've been sober two weeks. I want to win. I don't want the roses in my grave from this man made garbage. I want to love and to be loved. I must stay focused. If others can do it why can't I?
I'm doing good and strong. The demons this last month were evil! It got dark! It tested my sanity! I asked my probation officer if I could go back to prison! The demons didn't let up! But I still have love in me to give! I forgive the ones that done me wrong! Now I'm learning how to love me! I stopped crying and the end became the beginning! I bought me a beautiful Rottweiler puppy to give me unconditional love like God does! I am important! I am worth being loved! I am worth the freedom I have been given! It's not dark! I will survive! I am a good person! I have strong will!! May all of you that read this know... Your worth the struggle! Your worth everything good! And worth loving yourself! ❤️ Don't give in to the evil that exists! There is good that don't judge! ❤️
I just came across your comments. I want you to know this. You are loved. The world is without a doubt, a MUCH better place with you in it!! Don't ever forget that! I've battled them very demons and they still whisper in my ear from time to time. More so than I like to admit,,, but I'm staying strong. One thing that's helped me,,, so many people say to take it day by day,,, but fuck that. A lot of times that don't work,, the days are too long, so instead, just take it minute by minute. You will win your battle. I'm rooting for you! I will keep you in my prayers. YOU GOT THIS!!
My friend you are never alone, I'm living proof God can & will always be there for you and me...beating addiction is hardest thing ever!! Find meetings, go online, just don't stop trying...we do fail & we get back up to fight another day, prayer & faith & a good support group (that can be found in the rooms) & trusting in God, believing in God is the most powerful tool to get u started, well that, but, you have to really want it first!! Don't give up, don't give in❤ #wedorecover
I am in no way a country fan. However, this song gives me literal goosebumps every time I hear it. It's so heartbreakingly beautiful. Only song that has ever done that for me.
This Song literally broke my heart. I've been this girl, thank you My heavenly divine, for awakening my soul and saving me from my self.... addiction is not a problem with drugs. Drugs are just a symptom. The real problem is buried deep down and masked with drugs, sex, gambling, alcohol... you CAN recover, recovery is REAL ❤💙
I’m so happy to see your comment that you were this girl but are saved. I have been clean over 5 years. I stopped counting knowing I’ll never go back to that dope. May you life in peace and comfort. God bless young lady.
I am 2,163 days sober from crystal meth. This song made me break down histericly and cry after my husband just sent it to me. I’m me day at a time. There is so many raw emotion in this song
What are the words a person uses? I’m proud of you doesn’t seem exactly correct. But I am. I see you and know that you have and do struggle. You have and do dig deep for strengths that others can only imagine. Keep walking forward. If you hit a moment where walking forward seems impossible then just pause. Stand still. You are surrounded by love and strength that you cannot see. But we are here. Praying for you, hoping for you. I came to this song years ago because it reminds me of my daughter. I keep coming back to the comments all these years because I feel drawn to pray for the people still struggling, to be a silent support for those staying clean and sober. We moms and others of survivors of addiction…we love you and pray for you. We are here even when you can’t see us. You and your husband can do this. Look how far you’ve come! Miles and miles in the sunshine! You are a warrior! ❤️
I am still clean just because I have raw emotions doesn’t mean I am going to go out and use. That’s is not even a thought. I love to feel my emotional and remember where I came from and that makes and helps me stay sober
@@caseycraver5087 Thank you for sharing the part about feeling your emotions. I’m struggling with PTSD related to RTS. I try not to feel any of those emotions. I’m going to think on this and try to use it ❤️
Jon Brazil no it’s not a disease. You can’t walk outside and catch crack head. You’re not born with it either unless your mother was a addict when she was pregnant. Don’t play victim. Amazing song though.
I love this song! Been sober since oct 22, 2019... I would listen to it in rehab after a girl told me about it and I cry bc I can relate on both sides. From his and her side. Thankfully God has brought me thru hell and I'm still alive to witness that... If not, the ppl who love me would've been tossing a rose on my grave. Thank u Jesus for another beautiful day!
These guys are from near where I live in east Texas. The "Time Out" referred to in the song is a strip club that is indeed on TX Hwy. 155 just outside of Tyler. Real music about real people.
I listened to this song while in Active Addiction and it made me cry so bad. But in a good way .it touched me so much, that I drove to my cousin who at the time was using as well, becuz I thought she needed to hear it like I did ..It changed me. I've been 5 months sober. At my job over a yr and got an apartment in July, and just got my daughter back on Dec 23 ,2020. Sober and I still play this song, my daughters listen to it also....it touches all of us GREAT REAL LIFE RELATABLE MUSIC
Proud of you, unfortunately my daughter is battling meth and I take care of her daughter. Its hard sometimes because she don't see what a blessing God has gave her but for now I will be mom/and mimi.
Amen amen you are doing really good stay that way keep looking ahead im proud of you all u dod it still doing it. Keep smiling trying to reach out and heal help and show others its very hard but u can do it the gift of god is free. God loves and forgives but he would like to see and know u are making good for u and orhers god bless us all peace love
if you have not been an addict or loved one I think it may be hard to grasp the beauty of it. I lost the love of my life almost a year ago to Heroin. I was so lost and started using more and more. just recently I realized I will never get over it. but I can deal with it in a positive way. I feel myself losing the desire to use day by day and am detoxing from opiates, benzos, and ice. I refuse to continue with this lifestyle. I will do something great
I did heroin for a while but never had withdrawals when I’d take a break for a week mainly because my dealer was out. But I mixed up thc shatter with black tar and hit it on the vape pen and when I was out I was like oh well as I lit a blunt. But I’ve shot up ice and smoked meth and it didn’t appeal to me having energy so I didn’t feel need to do it next day. Weed is my only go to
Rip to everyone who didn’t make it. 10 years clean for me now but many of my friends never broke their addiction and are now laid low. I love n miss you all so much.
This song… it brings me to tears EVERYTIME. I resonate with it so well on so many different levels. From my mom who’s beat that demon to my daddy who passed recently in December from an accidental overdose… to myself. My best friend and love of my life has played it for me a few times as if he’s trying to tell me something without saying it. I’m currently 2 months clean of heroin fentanyl and methamphetamine. You have know idea how much this song has helped changed me. ❤
I am almost 2 year's clean from a long vicious battle with all drugs. I hurt many people along the way and lost many others to this disease. So glad I hit rock bottom and gave up that horrible life I was living. Thank you to everyone that has shared your story's and thank you for this song, it has hit deeply.
Glad u made it out in a year and 4 months clean from all drugs lol I’ve done them all and destroyed my life my families and my kids. My mother died from cancer while I was in jail. I’ll never forgive myself!! I’m trying my best to navigate thru life and make her proud. God bless n/a
@@Blaines-smallengine-repair That has been one of the hardest things for me to do, is forgive myself. Not saying that I ever fully will but I have gotten to a place where I realize that in doing so is the only way that I can move forward and live a happy and healthy life. For me this how I feel
I just lost my mother today was the gathering im broken even more, feel soo weak, she helped me when all others left... She gave me another life by saving me from myself this song always helped through every dark part of my life..
I lost a son 10 years ago to meth and herion. So don’t think it won’t happen to you. Hats off to all that are clean and sober. I know it’s a struggle not near the struggle I go through living every day knowing my son isn’t coming home. God bless all of you.
This song follows the life of my son , line by line... Some days I can listen and sing right along. Other days it just brings me to my knees in tears.... I love you Eric !
There's something about an artist being able to play their songs acoustic as good, if not better, than the produced version that makes you respect them, and love their music, that much more. Keep this going, please!
4 days sober and a life time of addiction and alcoholism. Been with the love of my life who was addicted to the thing in this song and been sober since 2016. Beautiful song and it get me every freaking time
dude, yes... I hear similarities to "Nutshell." Nice comparison. Side Note: Staind does an AMAZING job of a slower and more melodic version of Nutshell in their "Live at Shiro" cover. Worth a listen.
I was an addict for years and years I made it through the addiction and have been sober for 9 years however my big brother was not able to beat it and died last February met is the devil and I got words of wisdom and encouragement if anyone needs em God bless yall and keep fighting
Wow!! Love this song!! This man is the real deal. I have battled alcoholism for 40 years. September 21st of 2021 was my first day of sobriety in a very long time. Haven’t had a drink since. Thank you God for removing the obsession to drink. Life is so so good!! I have been through a lot lately, but never once have I had the thought…..Damn a drink sure would help❤ Praise the Lord
This song never fails to hit me right in the feels. I have 21 years of crystal meth addiction under my belt but now I gratefully have 74 days clean. I know there's a long road ahead of me but I can finally see the path clearly.
My high school sweetheart ended up becoming an alcoholic and stripping. Even though we didn’t work out, I still always wished the best for her. Song hit home. I hope everyone knows that they’re stronger than their addiction
I'm two years clean off heroin and quit the day my girlfriend died from overdose next to me while we slept. We were together for 12 years.. the most beautiful girl you could ever see, even as an addict. She was my best friend and losing her I've lost myself. I still havent moved on or been with anyone else. I cant. There was nobody like her and we were so ready to get clean. We both were about to go in rehab. I regret that last night of partying. Something I have to live with and if I could I would take her place so her mom can have her daughter back. I'm her son now but it's not the same. Everywhere I go I carry a letter she wrote me while in jail that says I cant wait to come home. It's like I'm still waiting for her to walk in that door. I miss her so much and only girl I have ever loved. This song kind of put my mind at ease. Thank you for your lyrics and passion. RIP tierany
Brother i’m sorry for your loss
I'm sorry
Keep holding on brother.
I pray you can turn this all over to The Lord.
He will soon wipe away every tear.
I love you.
Im still struggling. I hope you find peace of mind one day, friend. We will meet again in paradise
I pray you are staying strong and have been getting assistance with healthy coping skills my prayers go out to you brother.
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS SHARING THEIR SOBRIETY. JUST SO DARN BEAUTIFUL. BLESS YOU MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
It certainly is...
That's because for most who struggle with drug addiction Hope is a day late and a dollar short.
Amen
I am still poisoning. Enjoy sobriety...glad you could do the hard.
I listen to this song and it makes me sad and grateful at the same time...See Im a 41 year old man who used Meth for 15 years. It took me to alot if dark places and it made me angry, abusive and cold! I did 3 prison terms behind my addiction but today i type this comment with 85 months clean off that shit! I lost countless relationships, my kids and my sanity in those years....Im now a proud small business owner, my fiancé is becoming a nurse and were raising 3 great kids with a 4th on the way!! God is so good
Congratulations, that's not an easy addiction to break free from and most don't last 15 years in the belly of that beast...your prison time probably saved your life in a way. Although I don't know directly about meth addiction, I know how hard an addiction can be to break habit from...that's a pretty amazing story my man, someone had your back in the realm of angels.
I feel that... Right on.
WE survive my friend.. Stay with it.
.
Awesome!
Artificial red SMOKE POISON CONSUMED..IN THE HOUSE OF ILLREPUTE.
I lost my son on March 28,24. He was only17. It was an accidental suicide. No drugs involved. This was one of his favorite songs. He sang it everyday esp in the shower with speaker and all. I would mute the tv most times and just listen. 😢 I didn’t know you could miss someone this much. I’m not sure the meaning it had to him if any and he just liked it. Either way I listen to this song everyday.
Hugs Donna. I just lost my nephew who was 18. The day before his graduation to suicide. His funeral was just last Thursday. Been listening to this and crying every day. Love and hugs to you.
Deeply sorry for your loss
I lost my son on February 17th, 2024...he was only 14 and it was a fentanyl overdose. My heart goes out to you...there is no pain greater than losing your child. I hope you are finding some small ways to be ok min by min...
He seems like someone I could have spent days with.
my condolences Donna. Thank you for sharing. It has motivated me to start sobriety.
Im 91 days sober from meth and alcohol today..this song still brings me to tears..one day at a time
Broken hallos
Strength and blessings. You can beat it.
Thankyou babys
Congratulations. Hopefully it’s gets easier.
Monica Marquez Keep on Keepin’ on! 👍🙏
To those of you battling demons that most of us will never face, never forget that we are all rooting for you.
Never stop fighting...
Thank you
Thank you, as the tears just fall, thank you
Thank you I wish no one to have to fight these demons I know god has a plan and in the end I will prevail so until then keep me in yal prayers please, and thank you....
AMEN!!
God bless
As the father of an addict that didn't make it this song brings tears everytime .
RIP JOSH I MISS YOU SO MUCH
From your child, your son, I send you a message; I'm sorry I couldn't give you perfection. I'm sorry loving me meant hurt beyond comprehension. But rest easy. Yall will meet again. As a fellow addict that will leave this world too early. Please embrace this. His love or lack there of was never the cause of his path. I pray my mom will know too that some of us are meant to be the light to bring understanding to a world we would never wantvyall to live 1 day through.
With sincere love,
I hope you know it wasnt you.
This guy sings the truth in this song. I been lost and given up on everything. So has my wife. Time to go get help. With the meth and pills that I struggle with sice I was 14. I'm 35 now. I comeing to you hun. I know we're u are. We Will fight this battle to thgather baby. I know u waiting for me. And have been. God laid it on me tonight.

Congrats brother!
keep it at brother!! were built different in new england you got this 💪🏻
how did you take fent😭 im genuinely so happy for you but i am a tad confused 🥰
So proud of you and do not even know you I've lost so many friends and family to those drugs
I cry every time I hear this song. I first heard it while my precious daughter was getting clean. This song reminds me of the nights spent walking the floor and praying for her. I think of her frail body and the constant fear that she was going to slip from this world. My little girl is now a walking testimony that there is a road out of the meth nightmare. I used to be so judgmental when I crossed paths with somebody lost in this world. Now I realize these people are daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, husbands and wives to people who are walking the floors and crying out to God in their behalf, praying for them to be healed of the things that led them to meth. I'm so thankful to have my little girl back. I pray for those still lost....and the people who love them so much it hurts.
Donna Calloway I feel you. My girlfriend, my soul, is battlin that addiction. heroin and meth, shes locked up now, but i realize where its headed. I love her the same. I refuse to lay a flower on her grave. I refuse to. i love her so much, im glad that the law grabbed her b4 life could. I love her so...
Donna Calloway q
Donna Calloway this reminds me of my first love iv been clean for awhile and she till uses
Donna Calloway So sorry..... Holy shit....
God is a healer. amen
Meth ruined me. Today is 30 day sober, I’m barely coming out of the
Fog but feeling a little more like myself again. I would weep in tears, high as hell, knowing I could be so much more. If you’re struggling, you aren’t alone. Find your nearest Alano club or meeting room, and you’ll see you’re life isn’t so unique and that many strangers want the best for you and they’ll show you how to get your first day clean and sober. Much love.
Hey bro, just wanted to say I’m happy for you man. God bless you on this new journey of yours I hope you’re still going strong
It's been a few months since this post. I hope you're still clean and doing well, my guy. Good luck
Hope you’re winning we all get twisted!! Makes you a better person to know that once a drug addict always an addict !! You change that !! And don’t ever !! Once u dig and dig and get it you can tell people who u are and know they will Judge !! Knowing who you are will help you through your shit !! Best advice u can have !!if u know who you are u can tell people who u are and love your self and work yourself out of that situation!!! Bet!!!
Meth didn’t ruin you.. you ruined you.. understand that and you might survive
Hope you are still doing well
Spent 20 minutes reading comments, I cherish and respect the people stories of getting sober. There's a bright beautiful world out there and it wants us all in it regardless of misfortune. Continue keep on keeping on!
That's exactly what I'm doing
Same it's nice to see people change, to a song thats very true
Amen, Mike!!!🙏☮️♥️💪🌹
Addicts, we all need to remember the bad times, we used. More than romancing those so 'called good times we had using!
Addiction is a very serious an tricky thing, and it's not just dope ! Sex , Gambling etc.!!!!! It can come in many forms, as I've discovered. I'm GREATFUL " to God daily im not locked up somewhere for have not getting caught up in a stupid mistake along the way! Honestly
I’ve lost too many friends to addiction. I hope anyone reading this that’s going through any kind of struggle finds the strength to quit. We’re all rooting for you 🫶
Ten years sober!!!! Thank you Jesus 🙏🏽🙏🏽✊🏽✊🏽
I love this who is this
❤
praise god
Yes Thank you Jesus.❤
Congrats, make it a lifetime of being sober !
I remember being deep into addiction when this song came out. I listened to it probably thousands of times. Last Sunday I celebrated 10 months being clean from meth. Song still brings me to tears but I'm happy I'm not on that pathway anymore!
Im proud of you girl!!! Keep on this path!! How are you today?
I hope you are still clean ? I lost my son to meth !! NOT GOOD AT ALL ... Please stay clean for me give hope that someone can do it...
You go girl!!! That is awesome! Praying for you to celebrate your anniversary years and years from now! Send love and a big hug
Big Hugs!! We made it!!
Glad you made it 💜. Keep sharing to encourage others.
I'm 10 day clean and sober and a friend sent me this song and it brought me to my knees right where I stood and made me think God for my friends and family
Prayers from Texas. You're amazing Kevin. Every minute sober is a success. You sir are kicking ass. Much love!!! 🤘🤘🤘👊
Hope your still on the road to recovery! Sending hugs
I hope you are still moving forward, staying clean. If you fall, get back up. Staying sober isn’t a race it’s a marathon. You are in this for the long haul. You’ll make mistakes, do dumb things, trust the wrong people. You’ll even trust yourself before you are strong enough to do so. All of that means you are still alive and kicking and if you are alive there is still hope! You are no worse nor better than anybody else who has fought addiction. So don’t let setbacks crush you. You have strengths and resilience that you are not even aware you have yet. Addiction didn’t cause you to use. Something else caused you to use and you became addicted. Address that cause. In whatever way you are comfortable with, prayer, counseling, a combination. Address the trauma. Address the traumas suffered in addiction. You are worth this work. You are valuable. Your life is valid and needed in this world. You can do this. You can. There is more beauty and love and strength inside you than you can even fathom. When you are at your breaking point…that is not the moment you are about to shatter. That is a breakthrough point. Stand there until you make it through. Come back here for support. Join support groups online. Get to meetings. You do whatever it takes. You fight. Because you are worth the fight. And you are never alone. Never. There are people, all over the world, strangers, mamas and daddies, sisters, brothers, survivors…praying for you.
Hey Kevin, I hope your still clean 6 months later. If your not, you haven’t failed. It took me 3 or 4 years of starts and stops before got control. I’m 20+ years clean today. I turned my back on all my “friends” and walked away. I discovered I was completely alone. I spent so much time surrounding myself with a circle of drug people I had no clean or normal people left. I had, and still have trouble making friends since I become bored with people easily. I have nothing in common with most people and keeping everyone at arms reach keeps me safe. It’s been an adjustment. Today I long for a good friend but I can’t warm up to anyone except my gal. The first time I heard this song I had found out that a girl I knew had overdosed and died 5 years prior. She was a train wreck. She poked holes in her arms and popped Selma’s and oxies to come down to sleep. Honey Ann died at age 45. I never slept with her. But like in the song where he saw her through a broken window with a different point of view. I saw her differently and I guess I was in love with her. Her passing hurt me so. She had the most beautiful blue eyes for a dark skinned Native American girl. Haunting blue… anyway I hope your well.
I hope you're still clean and doing well. If not, don't give up. Get back on that path and keep doing it. If a junkie like me can get clean 7 years ago, anybody can do it. Push hard. You can do it. Never give up. Keep your mind busy
5 years 6 months and 5 days clean from meth and just found this song today. I'm so grateful for every moment I'm able to be here alive
Stick with that mindset my friend..we recover.
I was a 20+ drug addict. Going on 8 yrs sober. Life is awesome. Hang in there.
8 years clean on Tuesday man I'm so grateful for songs like this.
Congratulations brother. More life 🙏🏽
❤❤❤❤
Good on ya. Keep on winning, man.
FUCKING SWEET !
Hope you are still staying strong ❤
Who else is listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
I just found this in 2024.. freaking love it...
Who isn't? Lol
Me!! Just discovered it and it makes me feel literally emotion possible ❤
Great job. Well written and sung!
I just drove past the timeout on 155
22 years old.. been addicted too pain pills since I was 16.. just couldnt lay em down. 6 months ago my beautiful baby boy was born and that was the moment I never wanted too touch another one. He is my drug... his smile is my high... I wanna be better me for him. Thank the lord he sent me blessing, I wouldnt trade the love for my son for any drug in the world. He needs me and I'm not risking my life anymore. For all who are still fighting this battle I just want to say too yaw.... dont quit fighting fight too your last breath if you get knocked down get back up and keep swinging.. you only live once dont spend this life chasing a high you cant catch. You can do this!
So true and amazing
Wish I could find that something or someone that will make me put this bullshit to rest.

❤
9 mths sober from alcohol...This song hit hard..Beautiful
I found the song “Stone” the day after my dad passed away and “Broken window serenade” after my brother overdosed on meth 7 days later. Them songs have such deep meaning and Brings me to tears every time. Thank you Whiskey Myers for the absolutely amazing music. The music you all make hits home. Your music got me out of some bad situations and I’m forever thankful. I’m one of your guy’s biggest fans. Thank you guys.
“I threw in a pretty flower as they laid you low, Yeah it was a rose, I thought you should know”
That hit me so hard, as I laid a rose in my dad and brothers coffins.
God bless you
* May you find strength in all the memories you have with both your Dad and brother.
Hang in there. 💞
Stone and Broken Window are painfully beautiful songs! I love the passion, saddened by the misfortune. Every day is a battle... Find strength in our battles
"I saw you thru a broken window, with a different point of view."
I feel your pain. I'm so sorry for the losses you've endured. 💙
Sorry for your loss
22 years sober from meth, lost my mother and many friends to addiction. Love this song!
Houser 👋
Proud of you Joseph Houser. Hugs to you. I lost my father to addiction this day last year. It’s so hard.
I'm 18 fixing to be 19 on the 3rd and 4 years clean from meth my mama still struggling with the same addiction and the sad part is I don't she will ever get clean it sucks watching your best friend slowly fade away
@JoseMartinez-xe7xf that is does man, congrats on getting clean. Prayers for your mother, hopefully she will get clean too. It's very hard to do, but once achieved life is great! God bless!
Been clean from meth 20yrs..but that demon NEVER stops knocking. Some days you consider letting him in but songs like this remind you that probably isn't a good idea!🥀
Congrats. You must have found something life changing. 1 month here
Thank you for being strong and resist the temptation, we do care. I hope you keep on this way and inspire others to do so🙏
Five years clean here and you couldn’t be more right. I’m from a small texas town and it feels like he’s singing about the people i grew up with. The song always gave me chills.
Just picked up 18 years …
Been outta the Pen for damn near 20
But for the Grace of God
stay strong friend. ❤ im only 1 year clean but never want to go back.
My mom was the girl from my childhood that I lost to addiction. After he talked in the start I just broke down first time I had cried about my mom. Didn't know I needed that. Thank you
Dad for me but I understand that misery all too well. Fuck heroin 😢
Sorry for your loss brother. Hope you get to remember and cherish the good memories with her❤
This song was dedicated to me by a neighbor amd a fellow drug addict when i was in my relapse mode.... I always think of this song and i am so glad im sober. Today is my 5 year mark since i touched a needle
Proud of u. This song was wrote about a place i use to wrk at for 14 yrs.
#SurvivorOfSexaualAbuse/Rape never had a drug problem but deal with PTSD
A lot of our brothers and sisters never find freedom again. Donate....volunteer. The clean addicts are the best doctors. Happy for you! Blaze your trail girl!
Winner💖
Congratulations Chelsea no one understands what we had to go through, I’m also five years strong☦️❤️. Thank yo WM for this powerful song. Thank you Lord for giving him this song for us.
FABULOUS IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. don't look back. That ghost is always back there waiting
Momma was superwoman to me at one point in my life. No dad just her and my older sister. Drugs don’t discriminate at all. Miss you everyday Ma 💔 Rest peacefully beautiful. And also congratulations to everyone in the comment section sharing their sobriety or the ones admirable enough to share their struggles. And to those struggling please never fucking stop trying or wanting to get better or give up or give in. It may feel like rock bottom but somebody told me a long time ago there’s such thing as negative numbers for a reason. It can get worse. But it can also get better you just have to truly want it. So many people that don’t even know you want it for you. I know it’s hard after a certain while to care about yourself with whatever trauma or situations and hell you been through I truly understand. Just know it can’t rain forever. A beautiful life is waiting for you and I hope to God you find it and never let go of it. I love all of you beautiful people. God Bless you 💚
God bless you and your message my friend 💙👍 Jesus saved me from my hell..not everyone’s path but you’re 💯 you just gotta believe things will get better and they will. Thanks for this 👍
@@elmtreeroad Absolutely my friend God bless you and thank you 💚
I made it out alive. I just wish other people would stop reminding me of my mistakes...That I’m never going to be good enough. I’m still alive to prove them all wrong. #onedayatatime
Fuck them. You will make it. You found yourself
Fuck them...
Those people just want to see you fail so they can feel better about them selves
That's what drives me is showing all those dumb morherfuckers that there wrong I can do it an I am doing it but same time always stay on my toes never get complacent I think that is the word i an getting comfortable that's when the devil will jump off your shoulders back in bti your life it's been 5yrs clean for me from a 29 year heroin/ crack run I overdosed 2 days in a row that's when I finally decided enough is enough
All those people have some skeletons in their closet too. Fuck em. Keep on keepin' on.
A couple of pretty flowers
Is what I brought I to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
You had signs of depression
From a long line of sin
And your face tells a story
Bout the places you have been
I love you so,
I thought you should know
And that muddy waters flowin
As you take my hand
Past the creek down by the holler
Through your daddy's land
I could buy you a diamond
But I cannot change your world
Cuz I ain't got no money
You'll never be my girl no no
I thought you should know
You was gonna be a singer
Or be a movie star
But you cant catch no breaks baby
And Hollywood is hard
Now you work down at the Time Out
Off 155
And you're dancing for your dollar
Just tryin' to stay alive
It hurts me so
I thought you should know
You feed your addiction
With your crystal meth
And I plea for your life
as it takes you to your death
You make your deal with the devil
As your looks begin to fade
I saw you laughin' through the tears
As you slowly slipped away
I watched you go
I thought you should know
Yeah I watched you go
I thought you should know
That cold rain is pourin'
As they lay you in a grave
I can barely recognize you
In your fragile state
No more signs of depression
From a long time ago
I throw in a pretty flower
As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
I thought you should know
Yeah it was a rose
I thought you should know
A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
Amazing ❤
That's such a beautiful song. He came in concert a couple of years ago and I was surprised that he didn't perform this song. He was on before Jamey Johnson and it seemed like they rushed Whiskey Myers off stage so Jamey could get set up. I would have preferred to hear this song and Stone. Hopefully I will get the chance to see him again and he will preform these. I love this song so much. I know so many people who are active in their addiction's and I know so many who have lost their battle. Keep kickin ass Whiskey.
Hits SO SO hard! Rest in peace rest ! My heart is just broken all this suffering !!!
It's pearly fliers
Luved song for a yr but never new words.....❤
As an addict... This song touches me... You don't realize the pain you cause others cuz you're only thinking of yourself... 10 years sober and I still feel guilty
God bless
Last use October 2010 here. Best you can do is try to make amends to those you’ve wronged. Then it’s on them to forgive you or not. I totally understand though. God bless you. 10 years is a long time! Here’s to 100 more.
Stay strong! one day @ a time
God bless your life and also the ones still struggling w it
Good job Rebekah! Forgiveness is part of life. Someone that can't forgive you was never a friend.
Nearly died of heart failure... took me 2 years to remember I was once a drunk.....been 4 years now sober.. can't even believe I can say that..🙏
This song really hits home...its mine and my husband's song really had a big impact on our lives we were both heavy meth users. I ended up doing 2 yrs he ended up doing 2 1/2 years in prison and some how we made it through and now have a bright sober life ahead of us...recovery is possible!
It works if you work it. We are all worth it. Thank you for sharing. I was a heavy meth user myself.... I hit the lowest point in my life about 2 weeks ago... I have 13 days sober and counting. I have to thank the fellowship of A.A. and N.A. members and people like you and your husband showing that recovery is possible and no one is helpless. Bless both you and may god grant you serenity
God bless
That is awesome news!!! Thanks for sharing.
💯
Amen... God bless u and ur husband. My old man is locked up now it's so hard...
This song was the breaking point for me in my addiction. I'll never forget the act of grace upon my life.
You mean mercy. Grace is gettin what you deserve
🖤
Us addicts have to deal with addiction for the rest of our lives. Stay strong and be safe.b
@@russelljohnson6829 really?
"It was a rose, thought you should know" just brings the chills
Yes it does give one the chills. My favorite line in the whole song .
@@jujubean2995 what's does it mean though? Did he give her a rose?
@@Jsedjen he layed a rose on her casket as they lowered her down. Hes talking to his dead love he wanted her to know the flower he left for her was a rose. 😢
Absolutely not….. it simply means if u keep reaching in the same basket of roses for love your sure to get stuck by a thorn. 💓thank you!!!
Literally happened while reading this comment
Just got out of jail on Sunday. I heard this song when i was feeling broken in jail and made me cry pretty hard. So much unbelievably raw emotion. 25 days sober today. It’s hard because I had 10 months and relapsed again man. But just gotta keep moving forward
Proud of you. Keep going
One day at a time. Everyday when you wake up, just say I'm gonna stay sober today. I got about a 155 days clean.
Peace ✌
God has your Back
Addiction is tough. Just remember to forgive yourself. We beat ourselves up and tend to give up. But remember it's a tough battle but the reward is well worth it.
If this doesn't give you cold chills you haven't lived in the real world.
so true
Jason Wilson so damn true
Jason Wilson rite!!!
I live there for sure. Buried more than one.
Billy Bush I hate having the memory of being in that moment
I come from a small town that has been ravaged by methamphetamine, heroin, and alcohol over the past decade. I've lost old classmates, friends, and family members to their vices.Unfortunately, I'll never get that time back. This story is more than Whiskey Myers' is more than his story, it's my story and so many other people's stories. I'm just glad that someone is telling it and so beautifully at that.
Amen

This song means a lot to me, I was an addict for 6 years and been clean for four months
That's great. Hope you are staying well friend.
hope youre doin good.
You stay strong. Praying for you and proud of you. My son his clean, going on 7 months clean.
Praise God
I’m 19 1/2 years sober,… well I’ve been in the clinic for that long. I’ve not taken or done anything other then little pot and I quit that in ‘09. Praise GOD! Going to the clinic and taking medicine, many people don’t believe that is completely clean and they’re probably right, but I haven’t done any street drugs are broken in law and I have been very productive and had the same job for going on 14 years. Praise GOD
Amen. It's been one day at a time for me since 03/25/88. I'm on medication(s) as well.
Just buried my best friend and the love of my life. I always listened to this song the past five years. Wishing that she didn’t live this song. But she’s at rest now. No more dealing with the devil 🤙
Love you.
well, you had a best friend an were there for each other. Many of us have not even had that. May your pain ease quick.
Fuckin a sorry bud
Nov 3 will be 4 years clean from all mood and mind altering substances. My doc was meth and weed. This song was sent to me twice in the same day by two different people that didn't even know each other. It made me think about what I was doing. God spoke to me with this song. It was a warning. God bless you all!
I'm 398 days sober from this awful drug, but this song still hurts my soul. Praying for all of you struggling with addiction, sending healing vibes your way to help you reach recovery. Much love to all. Xoxo.
One last time... I miss and love you dalena Henderson.. rip ..
Love always,
Your husband
sorry chris. keep ur head up man
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
I agree.
I agree
Absolutley! You Fuckin Know It❤❤
You know it
Absolutely you fuckin know it
Meth has taken away my best friend and my only love. Watching him struggle and become a hollow shell of the beautiful person he once was, is the hardest thing I've ever been through. To mourn someone who isn't even dead yet. To watch their souls disappear in their eyes and become strangers to you. I've tried to fight his addiction for years,but I couldn't change his ways. That's a choice he could never fully make. This song really hits home. I pray that all those lost souls find peace and remember their are people out there who love you.
Amber Walker I’ve been through the same thing. I read ur words... that’s exactly how I felt. Ur not alone. I’m sorry if it’s worth anything. Don’t give up. Just pray. Thank u for sharing ur story.
💙💜💚
I’m going through the same thing.. the love of my life of almost 4 years and now we have a babygirl on the way, but he chose meth.. Lord please heal my heart because I can’t do this alone..
That shit killed two of my best hunting buddies and almost killed me. Thank the Creator and my awesome wife who found me on the floor doing the 'fish' and called 911. Six years clean. ☀️
She was absolutely in love with you bro... I hope you didnt waste that on math
This one goes out to those who have gone down that long hard road, and to those of you still suffering. May you find sobriety, and peace. I'm 22 years clean, and I sincerely hope that you find your way, you're still loved.
To everyone whos gone through substance abuse just know you're loved and you have a place in this life ❤️ never give up you can make it past the dark
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH. STOP GIVING YOUR WOKE ADVICES. EVERYBODY IS LIVING WITH GOD. WE ALL KNOW THAT, EVEN CHUCK NORRIS. BUT TO GIVE ADVICES MAKES NOTHING BETTER.
IF YOU WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD,...AND YOU WANT IT....😰
Change your own life. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE WORLD, YOU CAN ONLY ACCEPT THE OPINION OF OTHER PEOPLE..
DU KANNST DIE WELT NICHT ÄNDERN, NUR DEINE EINSTELLUNG ZU IHR.
Just lost an old friend to overdose. Her funeral is tomorrow. This song reminds me of her. Fly high angel! We'll never forget you Sandy
❤
If you don't get emotional hearing this song for the first or tenth time somethings wrong with you. Sad as it is, I love this song so so much!
truth
Literally sobbed listening to this
This song brought tears to my eyes. There's only 1 other song that did that.
Or its just a song and people listen to it to just listen ..not to have a self degrading pitty party
I love it
This song hits home and when I first heard it I cried my eyes out, shit I still do bc that girl is me. I am slowly getting through the depression and addiction but everyday is a battle. "Yeah I watched you go..I thought you should know" whiskey myers 🖤🖤
It’s never too late, But The only easy day was yesterday. You Keep fighting and no matter the cost Don't give up! You're appreciated, you’re smart, you’re wanted, you’re stronger than you think. You may still hit a few bumps in the road but you keep fighting, I believe in you.
Keep your head up no one is promised tomorrow and everyone has demons of some kind anyone who says otherwise is a flat out liar
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I LEFT A COMMENT WITH MY VIDEO SO PLEASE LOOK TO THE BOTTON OF MY LAST COMMENT TO SEE MY LINK SORRY
Hope you're doing good Ashleighanne. ❤🙏
I'm from the same area . I remember these guys Killin it at all the bars around e Texas. Time out was a gentleman's club in Tyler. This song does hit home , everyone knows someone going through addiction andnthey all have one thing in common. They're all hurt . I'm coming up on 14 months free from opiates after 20 years of use. We lost our cousin , Justin townes earle in 2020. It's hard to listen to his music now . That really hits me.
I hope everyone who commented they got sober has stayed that way, its hard out here but you can do it. We all back slide. I believe in you!!!
As I sit here missing my other half and fighting addiction this song gives me strength and hope.... strength to walk away from this demon in my life and the hope that I can be there for my lover as he struggles and be his rock...
RN I'm struggling as my body cries out for relief from withdrawal... I rebuke this evil in Jesus precious name, Lord please give me strength...
Destiny & Ashley Stay strong One day at a time
Stay positive and believe that you will find your way past the "valley" to a "higher"place.
In Jesus name we call for your healing. Amen
9 months later.... Where you at?
You aren't the only one. May Jesus bless you're life and your other half's.
This song touches my heart. When I was in rehab a close family friend past a way from a overdose. My brother went to her funeral, the next day he came to visit me . I will never forget his words to me,he said as he looked at her in that casket all he could see is me. I have been sober now for 17 years.
👏🙏
I am so sorry for your loss....
I have been in your shoes....on the other side of the fence, looking from your brothers perspective.
My ex wife went through the same thing. After we split up she lost herself. Our separation was hard on her...I can't help but feel like I played a part in it because of that. Sadness is a lonely road and being inside your head is an awful big place to be by yourself. Addiction is terrible. People change and get lost in their habits. This song rings so true and touches me at my core...at one time she was truly loved by me. I couldn't go to her funeral and missed giving her a 🌹. Rest easy Sue.
Sometimes there is nothing you can do
damn
Sometimes u can't lose yourself tryna save someone else that's too deep, sry for your loss brother
I feel the same about my ex. He ended up committing suicide from being tired of addiction. I feel you...
Amazing words
I LOVE THIS SONG! I'VE LISTENED TO IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND NEVER GETS OLD!!
Lost the love of my life to meth, this song captures all the things I felt while watching it change her into someone I don’t know. Makes me cry every time I hear it
I know how you feel I lost my wife around 2years ago off 22 years to that meth shit and I will never be the same again I still miss you dearly lisa love always
Lost my son last year now daughter really bad on drugs
❤
My uncle passed away 5-14-2019. we played this at his funeral. whiskey myers changed his life!! thank you
Almost 4 weeks clean of weed, I’ll be off to the navy. But this song sticks so close to my heart, I lost my mother when I was 4 to a homicide . A drug deal gone wrong …
Best wishes!
@@rsbreeze thank you, god bless. Doing it for her and myself. I start my paperwork on Thursday 🙏🏽
My daughter has had a methamphetamine addiction for 14 yrs. 2months ago she came to my house but she had a stroke in my front yard and was air lifted to be Raleigh Duke. Now in spite of everything she still uses every day. There is nothing I can do to help her. Her brother asked her to listen to this song. Now I listen to it cause I live with the fear that this is how it will take her. She is my heart ❤️❤️❤️ l don't know that I can live in this world without her in it😢😓.
Prayers and hugs! My daughter had a massive heart attack last June and passed away in December from methamphetamine use. It is a rough road for those that care for them. My daughter was sober for over 10 years then she started again. I have 2 of her 4 children, the oldest turned 18 and lived with me until he graduated from high school and I have the 2 youngest to raise now. Again many prayers and hugs.
I am so sorry, I have been clean for 30 years now. I used to cook it and I ruined more lifes then I could ever know..I will keep her in my prayers
This song makes me cry, probably the best sad song ever written.
me too
It hurts, but it feels so good.
Absolutely👍👍👍👍
Agreed!
This song and these comments give me chills - just so haunting and amazing : ))
I found this on accident because I was looking for a broken window sound effect. I do not regret the chosen path.
kevdoom2 funny how life works
hey thats kinda how we FOUND them and been in love ever since they are awesome...we have seen them twice in a year
Mmhmm suure. Searching for those like is what you were searching for.
Harry Twatter same as you apparently. To no avail. Lol
Every song on all 4, bout to be 5 albums is really good.. CC can write, sing, play.. Talent bunch o Tx boyz
Almost 2 yrs sober from meth addiction. Song still brings tears to my eyes. Have lost so many to this disease.
Lost my father to addiction and it brings me to tears. That disease is worse then cancer congrats to you brother happy for u .
My Brother's children's mother passed away last year from a heroin overdose. This song reminds of her so much. She was a friend for over 20 year's even though we lost contact we always had that youthful innocent childhood bond. I've been learning guitar for five years. This is the only song that I sing and play at the same time. I ROCK OUT TO THIS WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY SOUL. Thank you for creating this song.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
@@add7761you’ll prolly play a stupid game one day, you’ll get the same. Keep to yourself
My God, what a powerful song. Praying for everyone out there struggling with addiction, and everyone who loves someone who is. If you're reading this, IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
Hello Whiskey Myers.
I've heard your song about 50 times. It means that much to me.
Today I am not overwhelmed by it.
Rather, at peace with it.
The gut wrenching honesty, the truth, the whole thing.
I love you for writing this most important song.
To those who are suffering?
I implore you to hear this song
everyday. And really truly hear it
Feel it. And let it move you to a better place.
Never give up!!!
Every day the demon says come on.... I slip but shake my head. There's got to be something more inviting than a slow death of destruction. I look but there is nothing to pull me away. Will I always be on this path or will something turn my direction? I go clean then hit a bump and I'm back again. I always thought it would stop. Thought I can change. Been a drug trafficker and done federal time. Is it love that saves someone? Someone like me? Or will I die with roses in my grave? I cannot see. I am alone and the demons pick on me. I start counseling this week. I hope she can guide the way. For I hate the weakness of the euphoria it creates. Whiskey Myers keep touching souls. I am shedding tears and I pray for strength of a solution of a addiction gone mad!! Right now I've been sober two weeks. I want to win. I don't want the roses in my grave from this man made garbage. I want to love and to be loved. I must stay focused. If others can do it why can't I?
keep the that head man
I'm doing good and strong. The demons this last month were evil! It got dark! It tested my sanity! I asked my probation officer if I could go back to prison! The demons didn't let up! But I still have love in me to give! I forgive the ones that done me wrong! Now I'm learning how to love me! I stopped crying and the end became the beginning! I bought me a beautiful Rottweiler puppy to give me unconditional love like God does! I am important! I am worth being loved! I am worth the freedom I have been given! It's not dark! I will survive! I am a good person! I have strong will!! May all of you that read this know... Your worth the struggle! Your worth everything good! And worth loving yourself! ❤️ Don't give in to the evil that exists! There is good that don't judge! ❤️
I just came across your comments. I want you to know this. You are loved. The world is without a doubt, a MUCH better place with you in it!! Don't ever forget that! I've battled them very demons and they still whisper in my ear from time to time. More so than I like to admit,,, but I'm staying strong. One thing that's helped me,,, so many people say to take it day by day,,, but fuck that. A lot of times that don't work,, the days are too long, so instead, just take it minute by minute. You will win your battle. I'm rooting for you! I will keep you in my prayers. YOU GOT THIS!!
My friend you are never alone, I'm living proof God can & will always be there for you and me...beating addiction is hardest thing ever!! Find meetings, go online, just don't stop trying...we do fail & we get back up to fight another day, prayer & faith & a good support group (that can be found in the rooms) & trusting in God, believing in God is the most powerful tool to get u started, well that, but, you have to really want it first!! Don't give up, don't give in❤
#wedorecover
I am in no way a country fan. However, this song gives me literal goosebumps every time I hear it. It's so heartbreakingly beautiful. Only song that has ever done that for me.
I'm not either in general, but it's well done and it...Hits Home
This is so heartbreakingly beautiful. 💔
This is not country
Nothing country about this song. Classifying music is bs anyways
@@AmandaKnapp1 exactly
Found this song a few months back . Such a beautiful tribute to a broken woman from a man that would have given her the world .
This Song literally broke my heart. I've been this girl, thank you My heavenly divine, for awakening my soul and saving me from my self.... addiction is not a problem with drugs. Drugs are just a symptom. The real problem is buried deep down and masked with drugs, sex, gambling, alcohol... you CAN recover, recovery is REAL ❤💙
So very true...God bless
Amen sister
Amen
💯
I’m so happy to see your comment that you were this girl but are saved. I have been clean over 5 years. I stopped counting knowing I’ll never go back to that dope. May you life in peace and comfort. God bless young lady.
I tell you what man. This song brings me to tears every single time.
I'm three weeks, and I definitely just cried. Awesome song. Thanks
I am 2,163 days sober from crystal meth. This song made me break down histericly and cry after my husband just sent it to me. I’m me day at a time. There is so many raw emotion in this song
❤️ one day at a time hope your still clean ❤️
What are the words a person uses? I’m proud of you doesn’t seem exactly correct. But I am. I see you and know that you have and do struggle. You have and do dig deep for strengths that others can only imagine. Keep walking forward. If you hit a moment where walking forward seems impossible then just pause. Stand still. You are surrounded by love and strength that you cannot see. But we are here. Praying for you, hoping for you. I came to this song years ago because it reminds me of my daughter. I keep coming back to the comments all these years because I feel drawn to pray for the people still struggling, to be a silent support for those staying clean and sober. We moms and others of survivors of addiction…we love you and pray for you. We are here even when you can’t see us. You and your husband can do this. Look how far you’ve come! Miles and miles in the sunshine! You are a warrior! ❤️
I am still clean just because I have raw emotions doesn’t mean I am going to go out and use. That’s is not even a thought.
I love to feel my emotional and remember where I came from and that makes and helps me stay sober
@@caseycraver5087 Thank you for sharing the part about feeling your emotions. I’m struggling with PTSD related to RTS. I try not to feel any of those emotions. I’m going to think on this and try to use it ❤️
❤
such a real song. recovering meth addict here and this gives me chills. addiction is a disease but by the grace of God I am still alive.
Jon Brazil no it’s not a disease. You can’t walk outside and catch crack head. You’re not born with it either unless your mother was a addict when she was pregnant. Don’t play victim. Amazing song though.
Sometimes people should just shut up
This is the most powerful song ive ever heard. I wish it had been around for so many people. God it hurts.
I love this song! Been sober since oct 22, 2019... I would listen to it in rehab after a girl told me about it and I cry bc I can relate on both sides. From his and her side. Thankfully God has brought me thru hell and I'm still alive to witness that... If not, the ppl who love me would've been tossing a rose on my grave. Thank u Jesus for another beautiful day!
These guys are from near where I live in east Texas. The "Time Out" referred to in the song is a strip club that is indeed on TX Hwy. 155 just outside of Tyler. Real music about real people.
I live there
I live in lufkin this song has so much truth in its lyrics
Nick Landry im from Elkhart where they are from and the area is ravaged by meth as he says in the beginning and this song has said it all....
I am from Sulphur Springs now living in OKC and it’s so sad to see how how bad it is back home but it’s bad everywhere!
Brett David I’m from Elkhart too buddy!
I listened to this song while in Active Addiction and it made me cry so bad. But in a good way .it touched me so much, that I drove to my cousin who at the time was using as well, becuz I thought she needed to hear it like I did ..It changed me. I've been 5 months sober. At my job over a yr and got an apartment in July, and just got my daughter back on Dec 23 ,2020. Sober and I still play this song, my daughters listen to it also....it touches all of us GREAT REAL LIFE RELATABLE MUSIC
Proud of you, unfortunately my daughter is battling meth and I take care of her daughter. Its hard sometimes because she don't see what a blessing God has gave her but for now I will be mom/and mimi.
Amen amen you are doing really good stay that way keep looking ahead im proud of you all u dod it still doing it. Keep smiling trying to reach out and heal help and show others its very hard but u can do it the gift of god is free. God loves and forgives but he would like to see and know u are making good for u and orhers god bless us all peace love
Same with me! First time someone sent me this song i was using and i cried my eyes out and knew i wanted out of that life. 1 year clean
I just discovered Whiskey Meyers this year, love their music I can’t believe I didn’t know about these dudes.
if you have not been an addict or loved one I think it may be hard to grasp the beauty of it. I lost the love of my life almost a year ago to Heroin. I was so lost and started using more and more. just recently I realized I will never get over it. but I can deal with it in a positive way. I feel myself losing the desire to use day by day and am detoxing from opiates, benzos, and ice. I refuse to continue with this lifestyle. I will do something great
Amen to that Jake. In the name of Jesus you will heal.
I did heroin for a while but never had withdrawals when I’d take a break for a week mainly because my dealer was out. But I mixed up thc shatter with black tar and hit it on the vape pen and when I was out I was like oh well as I lit a blunt. But I’ve shot up ice and smoked meth and it didn’t appeal to me having energy so I didn’t feel need to do it next day. Weed is my only go to
@@BitchyBoxxy Im glad for you Austin. Good luck stay that way. Blessings.
Keep at it one day at a time
I hope a year after writing this you kicked the shit out of your addiction.
All y’all sober off that stuff congratulations! Stay clean, there’s someone who loves y’all
Rip to everyone who didn’t make it. 10 years clean for me now but many of my friends never broke their addiction and are now laid low. I love n miss you all so much.
This song… it brings me to tears EVERYTIME. I resonate with it so well on so many different levels. From my mom who’s beat that demon to my daddy who passed recently in December from an accidental overdose… to myself. My best friend and love of my life has played it for me a few times as if he’s trying to tell me something without saying it. I’m currently 2 months clean of heroin fentanyl and methamphetamine. You have know idea how much this song has helped changed me. ❤
I am almost 2 year's clean from a long vicious battle with all drugs. I hurt many people along the way and lost many others to this disease. So glad I hit rock bottom and gave up that horrible life I was living. Thank you to everyone that has shared your story's and thank you for this song, it has hit deeply.
Glad u made it out in a year and 4 months clean from all drugs lol I’ve done them all and destroyed my life my families and my kids. My mother died from cancer while I was in jail. I’ll never forgive myself!! I’m trying my best to navigate thru life and make her proud. God bless n/a
@@Blaines-smallengine-repair That has been one of the hardest things for me to do, is forgive myself. Not saying that I ever fully will but I have gotten to a place where I realize that in doing so is the only way that I can move forward and live a happy and healthy life. For me this how I feel
I just lost my mother today was the gathering im broken even more, feel soo weak, she helped me when all others left... She gave me another life by saving me from myself this song always helped through every dark part of my life..
I lost a son 10 years ago to meth and herion. So don’t think it won’t happen to you. Hats off to all that are clean and sober. I know it’s a struggle not near the struggle I go through living every day knowing my son isn’t coming home. God bless all of you.
This guy’s singing is actually amazing, he doesn’t need auto tune
We should talk sometime
After a blacked out drunken night kicking out a window im blessed to be here today.... This song while being sober has helped me.
This song follows the life of my son , line by line... Some days I can listen and sing right along. Other days it just brings me to my knees in tears.... I love you Eric !
My name is Eric and I’m struggling with addiction my parents prolly feel the same way you do
I hope and pray that both Eric's are sober& happy today! 🙏
Me too😢
Mine to
So sorry for your indescribable loss
My dad showed me this and now everytime I listen to this song I think of my mom who is almost 20 years sober and my dad who is 6 almost 7 years now :)
There's something about an artist being able to play their songs acoustic as good, if not better, than the produced version that makes you respect them, and love their music, that much more. Keep this going, please!
You’re damn right I’d pay double to hear this song in person. As a former addict hearing this in person is an absolute bucket list event.
I hate the album version. This one is so much better . The album version is just too “upbeat” for the lyrics.
Stay strong
4 days sober and a life time of addiction and alcoholism. Been with the love of my life who was addicted to the thing in this song and been sober since 2016. Beautiful song and it get me every freaking time
There’s such an “Alice in Chains” vibe in this. Awesome stuff.
Wow... Now I realize why I love this song so much.
dude, yes... I hear similarities to "Nutshell." Nice comparison. Side Note: Staind does an AMAZING job of a slower and more melodic version of Nutshell in their "Live at Shiro" cover. Worth a listen.
Sounds like Nutshell and Don’t Follow together
Litterally the 2 main chords from nuttshell. There is something in both songs (maybe those cords or so) making them so sad…
You just blew my mind in the best way
The "way" it takes Cody's breathe away in the explanation ... speaks volumes. And then he Sings It. 💝💖
I was an addict for years and years I made it through the addiction and have been sober for 9 years however my big brother was not able to beat it and died last February met is the devil and I got words of wisdom and encouragement if anyone needs em God bless yall and keep fighting
I will be able to sleep better just knowing this music is out there.
Walter S yes right behind you
Yes, indeed!
It sure put me to sleep. So bad on so man levels.
Wow!! Love this song!! This man is the real deal. I have battled alcoholism for 40 years. September 21st of 2021 was my first day of sobriety in a very long time. Haven’t had a drink since. Thank you God for removing the obsession to drink. Life is so so good!! I have been through a lot lately, but never once have I had the thought…..Damn a drink sure would help❤ Praise the Lord

This song never fails to hit me right in the feels. I have 21 years of crystal meth addiction under my belt but now I gratefully have 74 days clean. I know there's a long road ahead of me but I can finally see the path clearly.
Four months clean off ice... This song breaks my heart too.
It'll get better at around 10 or 11 months
My high school sweetheart ended up becoming an alcoholic and stripping. Even though we didn’t work out, I still always wished the best for her. Song hit home. I hope everyone knows that they’re stronger than their addiction
Mine did too. She died 2 years ago of an overdose. I'll always miss her.
