Day 1,250 off Drugs and Alcohol! In 2024, God eliminated all negativity from my life that did not belong. He blessed me with a new heart and revealed the important people in my life. He granted me a fresh start. I am grateful for everything I have faced and overcome, as it has shaped me into the person I am today. In 2025, we are READY. LET'S GO!
thank you so much man! It'll be an honor to perform and speak on the same stage this Saturday up in Lewiston. Grateful for everything you do to represent for those of us who have been through the struggle through your music. ODAAT!
Bro... No idea how i came to this. But its incredible. I can imagine it completely mastered in a certain way but recorded just like this keeps it real... Amazing song man!
I really like thw direction you went with this song. Its a lot more emotional than the spoken word you usually perform. Keep spreading that hope. The world needs you. -kitty
This hit me hard ......i lived that life for soooo many years i done so many terrible unspeakable things just for anouther shot and unable to apologize for my actions i have scars on my arms that have not fully healed and then i became a dad and got sober.......its been years and i still struggle but those bright eyes of my little girl always bring me back to reality i thank god for the gift he gave me 10 years ago she brought be home
Man I feel I lost all my brothers bestfriends and my fiance Jsut before 30. It’ makes me feel good hearing this guy sing everything I couldn’t put into words myself he did it perfectly
very good. Here in Brazil, we have a project called THE SOUND OF THE MESSAGE that seeks to spread the message of recovery from drug addiction. We were able to reach thousands of people from all over Brazil and among fellow sober addicts just for today. Together we can my brother!🔷🙏👊
I believe my son would have recovered from his heroin addiction and written songs about recovery but fentanyl poisoning robbed him of the chance to. God bless you for using your talent for good.
I’m so sorry for your loss!! RIP to your son and all victims of fentanyl poisoning. Thank you for speaking out openly and honoring his memory. Sending love

Even on days I didnt want to hear it. Ive been listening to you for awhile now. Sorta hopin I guess. But after some really close calls this past week, I had to change course or I wont make it another year. Will try and keep you posted but regardless, thank you for the inspiration to change.
This really really hits home. Im still struggling and really want to change so bad . Your really inspirational. Im going to keep fighting this till i make it stay blessed 💯🙏

I used to live at The Cadillac on Eddy and worked on Turk! Almost didn't make it out myself!It aint easy in the Ghetto! You've come along way, homie! Congrats!
Wow this is so powerful! You truly have a gift and will/are helping so many! Thank you for this adding to my playlist now! There is hope for everyone! ❤❤❤
Yo! Your Lt. of your movement, MikeyJ, introduced me to this song... I love it... Cannot wait to hear the Turk Street x Dowling (Remix) if y'all want me to shoot the video to that or help you with merchandise let me know... Love your passion and with Mikey's animation, that is a duo...
This song is stunning and powerful, and if those still suffering from addiction let the words seep like bubbling black tar into their brains, it will save many lives. Well sung and well played.
I just want to thank you, for expressing through your art what so many of us have gone through. Will have 4 years in April. God and hope are still alive, whether you choose to see them or not. They are waiting for you to reach out and grab them. I love everyone of you that have and are struggling with your demons today. You are not alone.
🥺Bro!! God bless you, and congratulations on your sobriety. I’ve also been clean from dope, and alcohol for 7 yrs, and 7 months. All Glory to Jesus Christ!🙏🏽
Um sir there is so many missing songs 😭😭 what happened did I hide them from myself or something 😢 can't be bought, don't let it be you, greatest gift and more.... whyyyyyyy
Thank you so much for asking! Greatest Gift, Not Stopping, Dirty Truth, I’m Not Ashamed, and Love Is Free are all dropping on streaming next week! I’ll bring everything back once they’re up!
@benjaminlerner you are an artist I listen to daily so I was really worried lol I can wait a week or so though haha 🤘 my heart stopped when I couldn't find the songs so I posted here and on your Facebook post to ask 😅
I was looking for this when I got up this morning!! I think you did amazing Ben!! That's so good!! I truly hope you decide to continue with both of your music endeavors; your rapping shorts and these more melodic ballads. Thank you for sharing your life and message with all of us! I'm here repping from S.C.A.R. Nation, and am about to share this with the group page now! Much love to you and your little family! 💜
I felt this in my soul. Tomorrow is my 5 months no fetty no blues, bars or blow & pcp. I found you on Facebook with your reels and somehow stumbled across your music. Let’s hop on a track together? You are a HUGE inspiration to me and help me in my weakest days, without even knowing it. What you do is impactful. Please never stop, ever?
I don't ever cry, it's an aftermath symptom of all the years being so cold, I buried my emotions THAT deep, when my parents died, my son was killed in a truck crash, all these things I wanted to cry so badly about.....couldn't...never came. Not a tear...... Your music just NOW made me cry man. I'm fuckin speechless
Incredible, bittersweet moment to finally let loose, glad you got that pressure off. Sorry about your son and parents as well.. As an artist, when letting off our ups and downs, we always hope to have it relate to someone. Whether it be addiction, losses, gains, or pain; Relatable is a goal. That's an incredible compliment to receive, truthfully. Keep on keeping on @natedow9328 And good job @BenjaminLerner 💯💯💯. Keep grinding!
I think we all gravitated here for our own reasons, but the major one in common is that it speaks to us. I’m not gonna get into my past, but I can relate to being able to compartmentalize sh*t and push it down to keep going (something a lot of addicts do..putting it in the “I’ll feel that sh*t later” pile”. I came here from a short on FB, them YT, till I got to his page, and have been listening to his music for about 30min now. I agree, I don’t really cry either, and this one had me tearing up Too… Stupid damaged brain with its busted dopamine/serotonin receptors😒… J/K… It’s not my brains fault. It’s 💯 mine after almost 20yrs of abusing it with opiates. Been waiting for it to come back. Some say it does, some say it doesn’t. I’m cautiously optimistic. That being said, I’m glad this helped you get some of the poison out, dude. You gotta, sometimes. For what it’s worth, this internet stranger is sending you all the love and light she’s got to give…
@@benjaminlernerI'm a 50 year old half assed junkie. Half in recovery with methadone...so I still hadn't done shit. And since I caint get high off fatty I started and continue to smoke coke. Now I am not the fiend that I was, fact is I still embrace a lifestyle that robbed me of the best days and has given me serious health complications. You sòñg made me realize that I am not doing enough to make my life better. Thank you.
I'll be 30 this year and I've lost almost everyone I care about.. my mom, my stepdad, my older brother... countless friends.. I've only got my son left and idk what I would do if I didn't....
Get it brother full songs even better keep em coming let's start our own recovery music page for all artist making sobriety hits... mine otw too gotta get in the studio mine was lost to the streets twice smh
one week clean after a two year pass of fent and blues . i did things i never thought i would to get my fix man.. i left the state i was living in and came back to my hometown where i have no access to anything . this song keeps me going foward in my sobriety. i love you man keep doing what youre doing pls.
Loving this song and how much heart u put in it u r amazing glad u r still here and continuing to inspiring so many including myself god bless u always ben nothing but luv always 🙏❤
@benjaminlerner you're very welcome I'm sorry u went through all the pain you have u r in my love and prayers I'm proud of u for coming out a better person and inspiring others that this crisis has to end I've lost friends from drugs worst feeling in the world best way we can keep there memory alive is spreading the message to end this horrible addiction once and for all 💯🙏
@benjaminlerner seeing this on break of the official 5 years of my sobriety. Bern through a ton,best friend and father figure died two months in to suicide, his best friend dies a month later in a vehicle accident, lost love, my shorty miscarried our baby 4 months into my journey, it's been a LONG journey, very few know and I did it almost entirely on my own, with no professional help. It's hard to explain to people everything that comes along with addiction. People struggle with the understanding that it's about more than the drugs. I've been sharing this around to my closest supporters. Keep up the work bro. Imma aspiring artist myself and would love to work with you one day on something like this.
I really do miss being addict quite often, it was honestly, the best most time 10 years of my life, I should have been dead 100x over, being sober is fucking hard, I want to live, laugh, toaster bath, quite regularly..... But, I dont do it, I look at my partner knowing that we have a son on the way, and that is all I need.
@benjaminlerner 3 years mostly clean off of meth, (I say mostly coz I have had, not relapses, but I have had a night or 2 where I couldn't say no, but I quickly wisened up and put the pipe and pick back down the next down).... I am proud of my recovery, and proud of everyone else who has managed to kick an addiction, wether it be alcohol, meth, heroin, benzos, opiates, etc etc, its a struggle, but at the end of the day, it may not feel like it, but it is well worth not using and gaining a few extra years on your lifespan, 👌👌💪💪 I hope everyone out there struggling with addiction, sees this song, and it inspires them, ❤️
Homeless right now at age 42 due to a bunch of things happening back to back divorce lost job got evicted..but i been clean and sober over 3 years.. honestly Everyday i get closer to falling back into da same hole..but end up walkin around it when i realized how selfish Ive been so daily i focus more and more on whats most important..gettin back on my feet and to be the best father to my 4 amazing 😮 kids rhat i possibly can be. This song hit home and ia very powerful nuch respect from 1 artist to another 💯
I feel like I’m about to relapse again. I can go from being strong to being so weak like it’s that easy. I wish I would’ve never done a blue in my life.
Man I needed this song been struggling lately to keep right and not turn back thank you for this song it’s gonna help many of us recovering or still in active addicts. God bless you bro ❤
Bro first off you got talent man I'm over one year clean I lived homeless for 2 years hanging out in tent city's in St Louis Chicago los Angeles and various other places I grew up in the states custody as a foster kid from home to home divorced 3 times 5 kids that won't talk to me all my friends died from fentanyl overdose in now a general manager for a restaurant 60k a yr I just got married last month and found out she's pregnant I'm feeling everything your saying cause I'm with you man track marks cover me even after all this time I got clean in new Orleans at oddesy house man I needed to hear this cause sometimes i forget to be grateful for what I have cause I definitely didn't have anything before I got clean I've been I a spiritual funk this shit brings. Tears to my eyes I just wanna say thanks for sharing keep it up brother for the therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel even if I never hear back from you we family in recovery and brothers in arms I'm gonna share this with some people that I know need to hear it I left a recovery home 6 months ago and still attend the alumni meetings hope your life is blessed and this test that's your testimony reaches other addicts
You have helped me so much lately. About a week ago I was contemplating suicide thinking I had nothing left and for some reason I happened to hear this song that same night and it feels like you pulled that bottle out of my hand. ive listened to it everyday since thank you so much for giving me hope again.
Day 1,250 off Drugs and Alcohol! In 2024, God eliminated all negativity from my life that did not belong. He blessed me with a new heart and revealed the important people in my life.

I really do miss being addict quite often, it was honestly, the best most time 10 years of my life, I should have been dead 100x over, being sober is fucking hard, I want to live, laugh, toaster bath, quite regularly..... But, I dont do it, I look at my partner knowing that we have a son on the way, and that is all I need.
Your son will be lucky to have you!! Congrats on your recovery
@benjaminlerner 3 years mostly clean off of meth, (I say mostly coz I have had, not relapses, but I have had a night or 2 where I couldn't say no, but I quickly wisened up and put the pipe and pick back down the next down).... I am proud of my recovery, and proud of everyone else who has managed to kick an addiction, wether it be alcohol, meth, heroin, benzos, opiates, etc etc, its a struggle, but at the end of the day, it may not feel like it, but it is well worth not using and gaining a few extra years on your lifespan, 👌👌💪💪
I hope everyone out there struggling with addiction, sees this song, and it inspires them, ❤️
Love you, your words, your music and your mission. Keep going keep it up.!💕
Thank you so much!! Big love
