I'm 50. In 2017 I gave my dying grandma her wish. I put down the needle along with the many drugs I ingested over a 35 year period. It took me losing everyone in my life to make that final decision. Now that I have no one. Looking back I see the people who truly loved me and the people that did not.
My god this hits me hard. At 41 and lived the last 20+ yrs doing drugs and my gma is my best friend. Idk what ill do when shes gone. Im sure youre gma is very proud of you for kicking the junk. Idk you but i know how hard it is to do. Over coming the drugs is hard enough. Combining it with loniness, feeling like society not only doesnt care about you but wants to throw you in prison and demonize you all for having a illness is crushing. I never stole, cheated or abused anyone yet i just did 3 yrs in prison for getting some dope for someone who sold it to me for a yr and everyone else.
A friend OD early this morning. I live in a town with about a population of 5k and just this year I've attended 16 drug related deaths... this will be 17. I don't think it's ever been this bad in the US history.... Smh.
I used to listen to this song when I would walk to the store in the snow to get diapers for my kids. I was high on meth and I wanted to do better but it felt impossible. God helped get thru it and now I'm getting close to a year sober. I have a great job my family has money and life is amazing. I was 100 pounds but now I'm 185 and happy. I listen to this song for a reminder of where I came from.
I can’t even put it in words how much I love to hear you voice your recovery, I love it. Congratulations. I don’t even know you, but I’m PROUD of you. 💙💙💙
Keep it together brother. The other side is always worse than the pain felt right now. It only gets better from now remember that. It only gets worse on the other side. Stay strong bro kids need ya 👍🏼
For any addict that comes across this comment: I pushed the needle for 6 years and I put it down. I own my own house. I have a son. All because I knew there’s a better life on the other side. I didn’t have my parents. I’m not wealthy by no means. You have to have the will to survive. It’s not that bad sober.
God bless you brother, fighting my own past addictions and buying my own house currently. Hard to stay off the shit with all this stuff flying past you, but it can be done.
I was an 11 year IV heroin user and it’s been 7 years I’ve been sober from heroin still smoke but Thts it I lost my baby daddy and he was my soulmate I’m lost without him and I almost died when I just came across this he looks just like him and I’m balling as I walk in beautiful night weather which was our favorite I feel like he’s talking to me
Can't believe I'm only the 57th like. I left my wife after finding a half ounce of meth and her lying to me about it. The loneliest walk I ever took was out that door and down the sidewalk to the greyhound. I miss her and love her so much, but she chose her path.
I smoked for years and quit shortly after my Dad passed away (in his honor). But I used to work using both hands and doing everyday tasks with a smoke hanging..7 years have passed without one and I don't miss them for nothing.But it's been six years since Dad passed and I miss him like crazy!
What a moving testament to the love you have for your father. I promised my daddy as he lay dying of lung and bone cancer, that I'd n ever smoke again. I had already quit for over 10 years and started back, then quit again. I will never smoke another cigarette as long as I love. @@tobyhoward7452
I've been clean and responsible for almost a year here soon. Lost a marriage in which he took my dog, but he was still drinking well after me. I'm glad I got away. I feel like I can breath. He may have thrown me away like trash during recovery but I soon learned I didn't need him to be the reason I healed and now I'm so happy and I can be myself. There are so many people that helped me through all that and didn't shun me.
@@spreadtruth2103absolutely not. You ever stop and think that other people can express their struggles too? Jesus use your brain. There are Thousands that came before Oliver Anthony and thousands that will come after. Common sense 🥴
I've been suffering with addiction since my mother passed 10 yrs ago, found this song 2 weeks ago and have been clean since, it hit my soul and woke me up, for that I'll be forever grateful, may you have a fantastic future bro, and thank you
Sorry for your loss brother keep fighting that good fight of sobriety. The good Lord knows your pain and the pride your momma must feel seeing you sober. God bless you.
Getting and staying clean and sober is the hardest thing I've ever done. I couldn't have done it without music like this sh*t right here. It's not easy but it sure as he11 is worth it. Keep doing what you're doing, never give up
Good job brother April 17 I will be clean 7 years just got sick of being a slave it's like a switch got thrown one minute doing dope then put it down after 17 years sick as fuck for a month I'd rather do basic training again for 5 years straight then be dope sick again, Stay strong you got this and Welcome Back !
My best friend just died, he was a hard drinker, he was having troubles with himself, a big man, looked like a viking, he had troubles with his gf, left his home for a while, then he made up with her, wanted to travel back, had too much too drink, fell asleep at the train station and never woke up. Just got the message today. This was the last song he send me. RIP
That’s deep sorry for your lost my brother I lost a close friend to an overdose it’s an evil thing watching the demons take over someone.. We’re only human so it’s only so much we can say and do with the intervention..😢 We do our part but in the end it’s all still above us.. God bless man🙏🏽🙏🏽
Remember you are also someone else's glue ....here on earth. I feel like this almost every other day not bc of drugs necessarily but bc I was sexually molested almost all my childhood. Nobody talks about the pain we effected by that carry for always . Society's shushed it and then we're all addicts fand nobody's bc we can't heal it and no anything I've ever tried or done has ever fucking healed any of me. Hang on , please if I have ....u can. I feel ur pain , I love you tho your a stranger , I know how deep it runs . Run with it but don't let it win . You deserve more . We all do . Xoxo @@davidm8105
I've been off heroin for over 20 years and I appreciate everyone in my life more than ever before!!😊 This damn fentanyl epidemic is crazy and so so sad. God bless this cold world 🙏🙏
I'm not one to leave comments, but within the last few months I've decided to finally stand up to the devil I've been fighting since I was 17. 14 years of my life that devil took from me. Today, I heard this song for the first time, and today, I'm 30 days sober. Its becoming more and more difficult to come across real county music about sobriety, let alone with the same raw passion I feel about the subject. Thank you Chris, I hope this ends up going big sooner or later. I'd love to see it beside Demons on spotify. If you, or anybody reading this, needs someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out.
Hey Sean, I'm a medium and when I read your comment Spirit came through. It was an ancestor of yours that also addiction or substance usage. They came through to tell you that they led you to this song on your 30 days sobriety. And, they're very, very, very, very, very proud of you. You have very, very, strong ancestors. Their spirits just surged through me so hard. They brought you to this song and then they had a medium come to your comment!!! Um, yeah, your ancestors are f****** powerful yo and their proud of you and they love the f*** out of you, and I'm proud of you, too! 10 years sober off of alcohol, three-years-sober off of opiates. I drink very little wine here and there, however, I don't get buzzed or drunk not even close. Your ancestors also want me to tell you to ask them for help whenever you feel like you're being feeling weak. And they're saying don't get sucked back into certain friends. I just heard, "Old habits die hard."
❤❤outstanding ,heartn soul felt & true. Tears of remembrance, tears of War w/ myself n the enemy . Tears of joy n overcoming. Thank you God bless you . 🎉🎉❤❤❤
You got this! You CAN do it! I'm 1356 days sober. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. The biggest thing to remember: forgive yourself. You have too.
5 years clean off a $400 a week opioid habit come November, there’s still mornings I wake up and my brains first thought is to take a pill, still get random aches and chills, temptation, pain, but everyday I chose to remain in control. To anyone who wants to change their ways and get clean just know there’s so many people out there who have fought that battle and is willing to help you through. All it takes is one step at a time, one day at a time, and i promise you can see the light out of that fucked up tunnel of addiction. You’re worth the fight
Great story. My poor wife had to see me through my fight with the devil for a few years. Now we are on the other side of it, and life is better than we could have imagined. Your song helps me to see if from her eyes. ❤
I'm proud of you for getting clean bro, i know how hard it is. My mom has been laying with the devil for about 4 years now and it breaks my heart so much. I've tried to help a few times, but for the past 2 years i don't even know how to find her. God bless you and yours and may he help others that need it
@joedonny542 Thanks for saying that! I'm sorry you are dealing with that. I have found that the drug is a symptom of a much bigger problem. I had to get clean for me, and the great that has come to my family is worth the price of admission. My big change came last year from me shooting myself in the chest with a 40 caliber wanting to die. I missed my heart by less than a quarter inch. The bullet went through a lung, came out my shoulder blade. God came to me in my moment of pure desperation. He told me to call 911. I never lost consciousness. I was awake through the ride to the helicopter, the helicopter ride to the trauma unit. They gave me something to Sedate me. I wake up in the ICU a couple hours later. Then I spent twenty four days and the hospital. My connection to God has become so strong. My connection with my family "the things that matter" is so much better than I could have dreamt of. Joe I really hope you are able to get through this. I know it is hard to watch someone you love go through this.
I found this song when I was in rehab and just listened again today and have 50 days sober. I cried cause I’m so grateful I finally got out of the terrible cycle I’ve been living for the last 18 years. If anyone sees this and is struggling, know it’s possible to overcome this disease a day at a time. Thanks Chris for such an amazing song❤
It’s the withdrawals that terrify me from doing drugs again…I won’t ever go thru THAT a again…but I know the pull that will be there forever telling me just one time won’t hurt….HELL NO!!! leave Satan….I ODd 3xs on fentanyl, I thank GOD i had people with me…I was supposed to be dead…I will not dishonor the gift of life again….
Right on brother! The human mind CAN perserveer over all adversity! Living a life that lifts us above crutches like addiction and dependancy rewards us with the STRENGTH TO BE a person who can accomplish great and amazing things in life.
I have been the person leaving my love who was fighting addiction, I tried to leave myself because of addiction. Thankfully I was not successful. Clean now for 9 years. It’s still hard everyday.
I am 1 year 6 months clean from an H addiction that lasted 10 years every day is a battle still and sometimes i still want to give up because I dont feel like im worth it... thank you for this I needed to hear it ❤
3 days away from being 5 months of the drink and drugs and damn these last days been tough to stay sober, thankful for the good music to clear the demons out
Awesome song! The talent here is easy to see… but.. on a quirky side note… I’m 50yrs old and come from a family of “professional smokers”.. this young man.. is a “professional smoker”!👍💯.. and a VERY Talented Artist.
Fighting the devil is a long hard battle, I'm still fighting and with the strength of our lord Jesus Christ I will win!! Keep fighting, keep the faith. There is an army of us fighting demons, time to turn tide!! Godspeed!
I've been struggling with addiction for most of my life & I'm 38 yrs old..... this song just broke me! Wow.... I felt that! ♡ prayers to anyone struggling with the same demons as myself.... bless y'all
Bless up man! This hellish world we live in can be relentless, but there's no point in feeling hopeless. We are all in this together, and all we can do is make the best of what we're able to create... I tend to stray from the thought that we were handed some cards, and all we could do is succumb to destiny. Instead I'm trying to create my own avenue!
I hear this and think of my oldest son... my kid is DEEP in addiction at the moment, and there is absolutely nothing I can do. Horrible feeling, terrifying place to be. Love him SO SO SO much, and cannot help him at all... thanks for sharing, always good to know a person isn't alone in their struggles.
I can only imagine what my mother went through for roughly 13 years, good times for about 6 months and 12 and a half years of a hell on earth that was self inflicted.. continue to show your love because when the time comes it might just be the thing your child needs to start the fight and win.. all the best with it and i really hope the shit gets left behind because everyone deseves another chance ❤
Stay on him pops I was on heroin and finally let go and admitted it ....sometimes the person doing the drugs doesn't want that life style it's the most depressing thing I've ever been through not wanting to do drugs but you have to because you feel like you will die and that's not being a little girl about it it's hard man see if you can get him into a methadone clinic it helped me get off drugs and a year later I'm clean and living my best life but that being said I put everyone close to me through hell just love him pops
Holly, the thing is, there are things you can do. First of all, make talking about it safe. Judgment free. Also, I encourage families to be accepting of test strips to make sure the drugs arent fentanyl laced, etc. For some, I know this is odd, but from someone who survived 20+ years of it, I promise you can fall off everyday, but it only takes one more try to get it right. Good luck to you and your son.
And............. I'm tearing up it's hard having an addiction problem I'm finally got it resolved but the person you love just can't seem to shake it.......... perfect song for this part of my life ...... The only good news is I'm 140 days sober from fentanyl........I just wish she would put down the meth so I could show her the life she always deserved.... Great song ...... And on another note I would have never guessed me at 28 in 2023 country would finally go back to it's roots. Just a man a guitar and the pain he feels..... thanks you made a song about how I feel but could never put into words over the last few months
I've been fighting the devil for years since I lost my mother n my wife to the drugs but I can't stop I'm to far gone but hopefully I'll wake up one day n won't need it anymore. I pray for that day love the song hits hard PC out
Just ask god every morning to help you get through the day!! Live day by day, and just listen to the voice in your head that is telling you what you need to do!! We all have it, it’s just hard to hear without the help of god!! You’ve got this brother!! I will pray for you!! You are strong and loved!!
Just described my marriage. It was the cause of my wife leaving. It took her to leave for me to get clean. And its to late to fixed. Made a grown man cry
Same ..6, years wasted and my first marriage trashed. I'm rdy to hit the fucking floor for the final time here alone in the house we once shared. Every goddamn space is empty where she left and took it all. Idk what to do anymore I'm fucked I think...
Y'all let the devil be I'm built to stand to his chest and preach about Jesus Christ I'ma rescue a demon or 2 and they'll be angels I'm going to show them how real Jesus is all glory to him. Even if they don't want to be saved it's my duty to try to save them God bless all and One love
For anyone who is a addict this is the song to get you free and clean. Addiction is a false reality. Sin = False reality, that's why you feel bad when you sin because it's not your true self. Walking in sin/lies will only bring you misery, self hated, insanity,, hopelessness, darkness, depression, self destruction, death. Walking in repentance/not sinning = truth will bring you peace, joy, happiness, abundance, blessings, victories, sound mind, freedom and love and light all around you. So choose today the right path.
Damn that song really gave me the chills man I’m struggling with addiction and have a solid ass girl who’s down for me and I’m just scared maybe she maybe getting tired of it all
This song speaks to what I've been through these past few years, it was absolute hell, and I hit absolute rock bottom in just the span of four years. I don't know what it was that made me completely stop, but I do know that when I gave it all to God, it gave me the faith that I could make it through , as long as I keep doing my best to trust in Him. I've been just a little over a month clean as of right now, but before I had my relapse, i was just shy of 8 months sober, and before that, I had made it three months. And I know that the relapses and the slip ups with drugs are all going to be a part of anyone's recovery. And yes I do feel absolutely ashamed, especially after my last spiral I came out of. Being found on the floor by your loved ones, thinking you're dead is the last thing that I wanted. I know if I can make it out of this mess, then I know that anyone can. I thought I was one of the ones that would never find my way out, and so many of my friend that are still around have gotten sober that I thought were much farther gone than myself. YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS, MAKE THE DECISION WITH YOURSELF, AND NOBODY ELSE, THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE IT AND THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO REACH OUT AND GET HELP. THERE ARE SO MANY RESOURCES FOR YOU, WHENEVER YOU ARE READY TO MAKE THAT DECISION. I AM HERE FOR YOU, IF NOBODY ELSE WILL BE. ❤
I watched a friend that was as close as a brother spending his last hours on life support. The wife took me to the ER at the same hospital a few weeks later because I was really sick, and I broke down as soon as we pulled in.
Perfect....hey from Holland...sitting by my firepit with Gipsy NIGHTCRAWLER jr (my black and white whippet doggie......baby pink and blue sky while the sun goes down....perfect voice perfect song......thanks and❤ Natasja
I tried saving a man in a heavy active addiction and it just pulled me back into my own addictions, found myself in jail and I thank God every day for tearing us apart
Chris brother I am here and never not another song that is not a great one with those words that only the talented music song writer ✨ can do and put it in a song that rock 🪨
Thank u 4 this so song i kn u must have lived ur song iam laying next 2 my love of a 11 years an iam walking out th same door now an it hurts amazing song
Boy's in pain, Pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. I will you, as I you will for me and for the peace of us all. Stop smoking brother. It will just hurt your lungs.
Really needed to hear this me and my wife are going through the same thing or I been putting her through it but no matter what she has been thier for me I help her get clean a long time ago but I couldn't do it myself
Recovering addict. 3 years now clean. People won't change until they want change. Sometimes that change won't reach them. Always try but don't enable. Great song.
This is what music should sound like and look like. If the radio/tv would quit letting the devil feed their rating and allow God back into the day to day life wonder where we might be today?.. 😢
Man sitting outside smokin a cigarette on the farm rn playing guitar singing deep voice country love music want to pursue but haven’t broke the lazy non drive for anything yet really love this music and really hits the soul
The frequency of your guitar and your voice are a deliverance healing frequency and those who keep listening are being healed and set free. God has gifted you for the purpose of his love. Blessings
Been clean since 2017 lost my daughter lost my grandmother to cancer went too jail and told myself this is not what my grandmother would want and told myself I will never see my daughter again unless I change my life I use music too try and keep from drugs sometimes it’s very hard this song hits different and helps me when I’m depressed and sad and feeling lonely I really appreciate it thank you
Just got out of jail today and heard your song for the first time. Your music speaks to me. We're the only ones in the house brother... Thank you for being there
Aside from a spectacular sound, this should be played at every drug court session. Perhaps the lyrics will filter thru the haze and users will finally begin to realize that that their addiction has far and wide implications - especially on family members. Bravo for generating such a powerful sound and telling lyrics.
Got a huge gambling problem came across this song by listening to another band its very hard to be "clean" but after hearing this song and being in tears got no choice to be "clean" now
This man reminds me of ME - 40 years ago. It's comforting to know that people are still reaching similar states of being - making stories with a guitar is a tradition that is older than the guitar.
Sober from so many drugs and on the path to get sober from more, just wish I could share it with that one special person but instead I get to share it here.
I'm 50. In 2017 I gave my dying grandma her wish. I put down the needle along with the many drugs I ingested over a 35 year period. It took me losing everyone in my life to make that final decision. Now that I have no one. Looking back I see the people who truly loved me and the people that did not.
Keep coming back Brother. 2012 here 👊🏽
Don’t forget you got family all over this country, who fought the same fight & came out the other side.
My god this hits me hard. At 41 and lived the last 20+ yrs doing drugs and my gma is my best friend. Idk what ill do when shes gone.
Im sure youre gma is very proud of you for kicking the junk. Idk you but i know how hard it is to do. Over coming the drugs is hard enough. Combining it with loniness, feeling like society not only doesnt care about you but wants to throw you in prison and demonize you all for having a illness is crushing. I never stole, cheated or abused anyone yet i just did 3 yrs in prison for getting some dope for someone who sold it to me for a yr and everyone else.

❤ that's absolutely amazing and by the grace of God I pray you're still clean! Leave the devil be, he isn't worth the fight that comes after

I'm 1356 days sober. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. The biggest thing to remember: forgive yourself. You have too.
5 years clean off a $400 a week opioid habit come November, there’s still mornings I wake up and my brains first thought is to take a pill, still get random aches and chills, temptation, pain, but everyday I chose to remain in control. To anyone who wants to change their ways and get clean just know there’s so many people out there who have fought that battle and is willing to help you through. All it takes is one step at a time, one day at a time, and i promise you can see the light out of that fucked up tunnel of addiction. You’re worth the fight
Yes! Absolutely brother. Stay with God
I didn’t light a cigarette when I heard this, the cigarette lit me
Great story. My poor wife had to see me through my fight with the devil for a few years. Now we are on the other side of it, and life is better than we could have imagined. Your song helps me to see if from her eyes. ❤
Glad you're both getting through it and coming out the other side ❤❤
Beautiful! I love to hear of people making it to the other side, past the devil.
I'm proud of you for getting clean bro, i know how hard it is. My mom has been laying with the devil for about 4 years now and it breaks my heart so much. I've tried to help a few times, but for the past 2 years i don't even know how to find her. God bless you and yours and may he help others that need it
@joedonny542
Thanks for saying that! I'm sorry you are dealing with that. I have found that the drug is a symptom of a much bigger problem. I had to get clean for me, and the great that has come to my family is worth the price of admission.
My big change came last year from me shooting myself in the chest with a 40 caliber wanting to die. I missed my heart by less than a quarter inch. The bullet went through a lung, came out my shoulder blade. God came to me in my moment of pure desperation. He told me to call 911. I never lost consciousness. I was awake through the ride to the helicopter, the helicopter ride to the trauma unit. They gave me something to Sedate me. I wake up in the ICU a couple hours later. Then I spent twenty four days and the hospital.
My connection to God has become so strong. My connection with my family
"the things that matter" is so much better than I could have dreamt of.
Joe I really hope you are able to get through this. I know it is hard to watch someone you love go through this.

I found this song when I was in rehab and just listened again today and have 50 days sober. I cried cause I’m so grateful I finally got out of the terrible cycle I’ve been living for the last 18 years. If anyone sees this and is struggling, know it’s possible to overcome this disease a day at a time. Thanks Chris for such an amazing song❤
Don't give up !! We can't loose another good person to the B.S.
I wish you the absolute best my friend. (Former user)... 🙏🏻
I am still crying now Love what you have to say you make my day .....❤
Stay strong brother💪🏼‼️ trust in god!! Thank you for the support!!
It’s the withdrawals that terrify me from doing drugs again…I won’t ever go thru THAT a again…but I know the pull that will be there forever telling me just one time won’t hurt….HELL NO!!! leave Satan….I ODd 3xs on fentanyl, I thank GOD i had people with me…I was supposed to be dead…I will not dishonor the gift of life again….
Right on brother! The human mind CAN perserveer over all adversity! Living a life that lifts us above crutches like addiction and dependancy rewards us with the STRENGTH TO BE a person who can accomplish great and amazing things in life.
Still fighting the devil every damn day, I cried listening to this
It's relentless, it never lets up.😢
Me too bro...u heard song "I'd rather overdose"?
You've got this brother.
It would be weird if we didn't have to fight him
@@Baul_Punyan then it would just be heaven on earth..if no grief, loss, sadness, anger ETC....we wouldn't know what true joy, happiness is...
Tired of being lied to , all the drugs it’s hard to find you . Those lyrics hits home brother . Love this song I wished it was a little longer
Bless the ones who have found God and the good in those who have not. For they need him more.
I have been the person leaving my love who was fighting addiction,
I tried to leave myself because of addiction. Thankfully I was not successful. Clean now for 9 years. It’s still hard everyday.
I’m always fighting the devil it seems some times I just wanna give in and go away forever 😢😢😢😢
Sometimes I invite the darkness in cuz it's the only thing that hugs me..
The devil can’t follow you forever. Keep going you’re not alone and this is your life. ❤🙏
Almost wanna cry just reading the comments.
Much love man. Great song and saving lives
I am 1 year 6 months clean from an H addiction that lasted 10 years every day is a battle still and sometimes i still want to give up because I dont feel like im worth it... thank you for this I needed to hear it ❤
3 days away from being 5 months of the drink and drugs and damn these last days been tough to stay sober, thankful for the good music to clear the demons out
Awesome song! The talent here is easy to see… but.. on a quirky side note… I’m 50yrs old and come from a family of “professional smokers”.. this young man.. is a “professional smoker”!👍💯.. and a VERY Talented Artist.
Those who know. Know. 😂
I’ve been quit for about 5 years and I bet it would burn my eyes too bad now.
Fighting the devil is a long hard battle, I'm still fighting and with the strength of our lord Jesus Christ I will win!! Keep fighting, keep the faith. There is an army of us fighting demons, time to turn tide!! Godspeed!
52 year old widowed father of four. Been Heroin free 11 years. Lost my wife to an OD. I tried everything to make her quit. Thank God I did.
God is goodness
If Sam elliot sung country music with real world problems is what this sounds like. Keep singin man and do it with a smoke ❤🤙🏻
I've been struggling with addiction for most of my life & I'm 38 yrs old..... this song just broke me! Wow.... I felt that! ♡ prayers to anyone struggling with the same demons as myself.... bless y'all
Bless up man! This hellish world we live in can be relentless, but there's no point in feeling hopeless. We are all in this together, and all we can do is make the best of what we're able to create... I tend to stray from the thought that we were handed some cards, and all we could do is succumb to destiny. Instead I'm trying to create my own avenue!
I hear this and think of my oldest son... my kid is DEEP in addiction at the moment, and there is absolutely nothing I can do. Horrible feeling, terrifying place to be. Love him SO SO SO much, and cannot help him at all... thanks for sharing, always good to know a person isn't alone in their struggles.
I can only imagine what my mother went through for roughly 13 years, good times for about 6 months and 12 and a half years of a hell on earth that was self inflicted.. continue to show your love because when the time comes it might just be the thing your child needs to start the fight and win.. all the best with it and i really hope the shit gets left behind because everyone deseves another chance ❤
Stay on him pops I was on heroin and finally let go and admitted it ....sometimes the person doing the drugs doesn't want that life style it's the most depressing thing I've ever been through not wanting to do drugs but you have to because you feel like you will die and that's not being a little girl about it it's hard man see if you can get him into a methadone clinic it helped me get off drugs and a year later I'm clean and living my best life but that being said I put everyone close to me through hell just love him pops
Praying for your son and you
Holly, the thing is, there are things you can do. First of all, make talking about it safe. Judgment free. Also, I encourage families to be accepting of test strips to make sure the drugs arent fentanyl laced, etc. For some, I know this is odd, but from someone who survived 20+ years of it, I promise you can fall off everyday, but it only takes one more try to get it right. Good luck to you and your son.
I'm praying for you.
And............. I'm tearing up it's hard having an addiction problem I'm finally got it resolved but the person you love just can't seem to shake it.......... perfect song for this part of my life ...... The only good news is I'm 140 days sober from fentanyl........I just wish she would put down the meth so I could show her the life she always deserved....
Great song ...... And on another note I would have never guessed me at 28 in 2023 country would finally go back to it's roots. Just a man a guitar and the pain he feels..... thanks you made a song about how I feel but could never put into words over the last few months
Wasn't expecting that voice from a guy with a cigarette in his mouth.😮 Good song I can relate to. I fought the devil and I won Ty Lord. 🙏
Well then, you should definitely go listen to Demons. This man has a ton of talent!
Love it
I've been fighting the devil for years since I lost my mother n my wife to the drugs but I can't stop I'm to far gone but hopefully I'll wake up one day n won't need it anymore. I pray for that day love the song hits hard PC out
Just ask god every morning to help you get through the day!! Live day by day, and just listen to the voice in your head that is telling you what you need to do!! We all have it, it’s just hard to hear without the help of god!! You’ve got this brother!! I will pray for you!! You are strong and loved!!
It's Never too late Brother!!!
Never to late
Just described my marriage. It was the cause of my wife leaving. It took her to leave for me to get clean. And its to late to fixed. Made a grown man cry
Same ..6, years wasted and my first marriage trashed. I'm rdy to hit the fucking floor for the final time here alone in the house we once shared. Every goddamn space is empty where she left and took it all. Idk what to do anymore I'm fucked I think...
I feel you brother 16yr marriage ended 2 kids ended the same way.
Y'all let the devil be I'm built to stand to his chest and preach about Jesus Christ I'ma rescue a demon or 2 and they'll be angels I'm going to show them how real Jesus is all glory to him.
Even if they don't want to be saved it's my duty to try to save them God bless all and One love
This is what I call bringing country music back. The story, the emotion and the voice ❤
Man Oliver started the whole record in the woods thing … killer song and voice …f the record companies ..
Appalachian folk music has been forever prevalent. Anthony just shined a light on it, to be fair.
Bless this angel voice and may the hardest thing he's ever addicted too be that cigarette In his mouth. God bless you and your wise words
Gotta home hard.
Iv been clean 9 years after 16 years of addiction, I fight for sobriety everyday. It’s hard. Iv been waiting for it to ease up.
I wish my Nick was still here to hear this song. He would've loved it 🕊
For anyone who is a addict this is the song to get you free and clean. Addiction is a false reality. Sin = False reality, that's why you feel bad when you sin because it's not your true self. Walking in sin/lies will only bring you misery, self hated, insanity,, hopelessness, darkness, depression, self destruction, death. Walking in repentance/not sinning = truth will bring you peace, joy, happiness, abundance, blessings, victories, sound mind, freedom and love and light all around you. So choose today the right path.
Damn that song really gave me the chills man I’m struggling with addiction and have a solid ass girl who’s down for me and I’m just scared maybe she maybe getting tired of it all
No matter the color of race we're all struggling the same.
Yeah everyday is a struggle, but we make the best of even the worst times, because anything worth it is worth fixing.
Wow.just wow sorry lost for words ..i cant even see whatim typn thru my tears..so much love from Indian River County Fl..
This song speaks to what I've been through these past few years, it was absolute hell, and I hit absolute rock bottom in just the span of four years. I don't know what it was that made me completely stop, but I do know that when I gave it all to God, it gave me the faith that I could make it through , as long as I keep doing my best to trust in Him. I've been just a little over a month clean as of right now, but before I had my relapse, i was just shy of 8 months sober, and before that, I had made it three months. And I know that the relapses and the slip ups with drugs are all going to be a part of anyone's recovery. And yes I do feel absolutely ashamed, especially after my last spiral I came out of. Being found on the floor by your loved ones, thinking you're dead is the last thing that I wanted. I know if I can make it out of this mess, then I know that anyone can. I thought I was one of the ones that would never find my way out, and so many of my friend that are still around have gotten sober that I thought were much farther gone than myself. YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS, MAKE THE DECISION WITH YOURSELF, AND NOBODY ELSE, THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE IT AND THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO REACH OUT AND GET HELP. THERE ARE SO MANY RESOURCES FOR YOU, WHENEVER YOU ARE READY TO MAKE THAT DECISION. I AM HERE FOR YOU, IF NOBODY ELSE WILL BE. ❤
Such a power move singing that good with a cig in
Good Lord pulled me from the dark dungeons, dont take their money homie just do it for the people!
I just lost my cousin who was actually more of a brother, and i tried but couldnt help him...
Will see them again
I watched a friend that was as close as a brother spending his last hours on life support. The wife took me to the ER at the same hospital a few weeks later because I was really sick, and I broke down as soon as we pulled in.
its freakin hard to love an addict, i know. All the irrational bullsh*t you have to deal with. Great tune.
Shitt, i wasn't ready for that voice!
Love from the U.K
Perfect....hey from Holland...sitting by my firepit with Gipsy NIGHTCRAWLER jr (my black and white whippet doggie......baby pink and blue sky while the sun goes down....perfect voice perfect song......thanks and❤ Natasja
I tried saving a man in a heavy active addiction and it just pulled me back into my own addictions, found myself in jail and I thank God every day for tearing us apart
Chris brother I am here and never not another song that is not a great one with those words that only the talented music song writer ✨ can do and put it in a song that rock 🪨
The pain and distrustion we cause!! 😢 Sober 13years! Dude ty..❤

Boy's in pain, Pray to the Lord Jesus Christ. I will you, as I you will for me and for the peace of us all. Stop smoking brother. It will just hurt your lungs.
I hope to see this fella make it big and stay true to his roots. Such a surprising tone of voice.
Wow the change in his songs and his voice is great ❤ I hope he sees the 💫
This is an amazing song, I was not expecting that voice to come out of you! You can feel it in the soul
God loves you and will forgive you! Amazing music Chris keep it up man
Man. Seriously some songs just carry such a message
Really needed to hear this me and my wife are going through the same thing or I been putting her through it but no matter what she has been thier for me I help her get clean a long time ago but I couldn't do it myself
Ol possum what of liked this a lot..🙏🏽✊🏻✊🏾💯🐢🇻🇳✌🏽🇺🇸
What a voice this guy has. Top notch stuff
Algorithm and Chris just did me a great service ❤️
Recovering addict. 3 years now clean. People won't change until they want change. Sometimes that change won't reach them. Always try but don't enable. Great song.
I'm still fighting the devil every damn day!! I've been clean for ten years!! It's a battle everyday!! Great song!!
this song made me think of my brother and his struggle.. RIP.. thank you
Drinking a beer or 3 or 10 to this who knows love this 💪
drinking until my mind quiets
This is what music should sound like and look like. If the radio/tv would quit letting the devil feed their rating and allow God back into the day to day life wonder where we might be today?.. 😢
Man sitting outside smokin a cigarette on the farm rn playing guitar singing deep voice country love music want to pursue but haven’t broke the lazy non drive for anything yet really love this music and really hits the soul
Celebrating 6 years clean July 4th...life is so different...peaceful...the memories haunt me like a relentless ghost.
I fight with the devil every single day. And most of the times he wins. Love the song though. Wish me luck.
This song is so real 🇺🇸💯
We all fight it but there is a brighter day 🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🤘
It speaks to the soul♥️.
Ama leave these here ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥲
How can people not like this music? It's so relevant and modern from Appalachia to Los Angeles.
The frequency of your guitar and your voice are a deliverance healing frequency and those who keep listening are being healed and set free. God has gifted you for the purpose of his love. Blessings
Been clean since 2017 lost my daughter lost my grandmother to cancer went too jail and told myself this is not what my grandmother would want and told myself I will never see my daughter again unless I change my life I use music too try and keep from drugs sometimes it’s very hard this song hits different and helps me when I’m depressed and sad and feeling lonely I really appreciate it thank you
True talent waiting to be recognized !! Shoot for the stars brother!!
Woahhh this guy IS SO SKILL FULL!!! Smoking and singing at the same damn time at the same damn time!!!
Favorite song right now real heartfelt.. thank you Chris.
❤ from Florida, never give in, never give up.
What part my local Florida man I'm from LaBelle FL near fort Myers....best of luck
Feel like wherever Johnny Cash is, he's proud
Was not expecting that voice great song
I was an addict for 3 years so this song definitely hits another level
he’s gonna blow up one day just wait
Most definitely 🎉
Facts
Depends on if he is willing to sell-out or not. Nashville isn't what it used to be they aren't looking for raw talent anymore. Just pretty popstars
Give this young talented man a thumbs up and follow!!!
God i love your voice. Praise jesus. Unfreeze that heart Chris!!!!❤❤❤❤
A beautiful voice from a beautiful human. Thank you for this song. ❤
Dang that is really deep! More Chris Huntt Jr. , please!
This resonated with me so much. I couldn't save my mum from addiction 😢
And now I’m going down a Chris huntt rabbit hole
💯💯💯💯🖤🖤🖤
Just got out of jail today and heard your song for the first time. Your music speaks to me. We're the only ones in the house brother... Thank you for being there
Aside from a spectacular sound, this should be played at every drug court session. Perhaps the lyrics will filter thru the haze and users will finally begin to realize that that their addiction has far and wide implications - especially on family members. Bravo for generating such a powerful sound and telling lyrics.
I've been off heroin for almost 3 years now and this song just became my new jam to listen to whenever there is thoughts of using again. Thank you
This needs to be on the radio guy . Keep doing these songs and you’ll be on the grand ole opry soon . Great voice .
The Marlboro Man in 2023!
Got a huge gambling problem came across this song by listening to another band its very hard to be "clean" but after hearing this song and being in tears got no choice to be "clean" now
This man reminds me of ME - 40 years ago. It's comforting to know that people are still reaching similar states of being - making stories with a guitar is a tradition that is older than the guitar.
40 years ago, did you have a voice a deep as an old oak door hinges creaking on a cold day?
Sober from so many drugs and on the path to get sober from more, just wish I could share it with that one special person but instead I get to share it here.
Well done brother 🙏✊💪 keep on trying ON 💙💙💙
