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'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.
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
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..🙏

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.

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 !
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.
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 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
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.
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'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
Been clean for 3 years and now saving my family from their addiction! I thank God every day!!
So happy for you!
we do recover!!! April 06, 2017!!
April 3, 2017. I went to jail. 20+ yr drug addict. Got my sentence behind me. Going on 8 yrs off meth. Life is awesome! Hang in there.
you saved so many other peoples' lives around you by being here.Thank you for being strong♥
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!

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
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.
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
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. ❤
One last time... I miss and love you dalena Henderson.. rip ..
Love always,
Your husband
sorry chris. keep ur head up man
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.
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❤
9 mths sober from alcohol...This song hit hard..Beautiful
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 💚
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!
All y’all sober off that stuff congratulations! Stay clean, there’s someone who loves y’all
My demon is alcohol but in rehab have seen it and unfortunately seen death, this song hits home, I've seen them twice, incredible show, stay strong everyone
I’m also an alcoholic pray for me sir
Well I hope the pain that is causing goes away. The mirror is the hardest place in your home
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
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
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
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.

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!

Congrats not everyone can change their addiction, a sons love sounds like a great high!!!
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...
I tell you what man. This song brings me to tears every single time.

❤
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.
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 three weeks, and I definitely just cried. Awesome song. Thanks
Thanks to this drug I now party with the souls of all my homies past. I sit alone with only their memories...
Please quit drug's I've lost both my son's now 1 overdosed fentynol
@@marileedent8499 I never did any
So sorry for your losses. Not fair. Praying for you.
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've listened to this for months.
It's such a beautiful song.
Keep pick'n when your soul is loose....you know this feeling....you've got great things to do ❤
Four months clean off ice... This song breaks my heart too.
It'll get better at around 10 or 11 months
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 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.
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 🙏🏽
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
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.
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.....❤
The "way" it takes Cody's breathe away in the explanation ... speaks volumes. And then he Sings It. 💝💖
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
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 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.
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
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!
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 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 : ))
This is the most powerful song ive ever heard. I wish it had been around for so many people. God it hurts.
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.
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.
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’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.
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
This song makes me so sad but as I sing every word along with it I swear I can feel everything he says. This is a deep song and it hits home for me forsure.
This song hits deep. Truly awesome song
i wouldn’t be able to sing this without crying
Same
100%
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
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 is absolutely heart wrenching and so true. Bless the addicts. RIP Shaun. God I miss you
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.
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 .
I’ve been cleaned 4 years this brings back so many emotions and how I was overdosing 😢, bring chills to my spine
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
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
❤
This Acustic version is EVERYTHING. I absolutely love this song🤍
Hi Rivera 👋
one of the best written songs I have ever heard
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
My uncle passed away 5-14-2019. we played this at his funeral. whiskey myers changed his life!! thank you
How he gets through this song without crying is a miracle
Cause he hasn't really been through it. It's a gift to us that have.
I LOVE THIS SONG! I'VE LISTENED TO IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND NEVER GETS OLD!!
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 is one of the best songs I've ever been turned on to its REAL a conformation of LIFE. Looking forward to my 6 months sober..
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.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song. With each rendition I think I grow more and more attached to it- hope it’s saved a lot of people that needed saving and even more than didn’t know they did. The latter was 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
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 :)
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!!!
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
Reading everyone’s comments breaks my heart. I wish that every last one of you finds the strength to make peace with your demons from the past and blossom fully as you each deserve ❤️🩹. I feel for each of you as you journey thru life because i almost lost my mother to ice when i was but a young boy naive and close eyed to the dark of our world. Every last soul who has suffered such heart breaking loss deserves to find peace and heal so that you may each shine your light upon the world
This song is so god damn beautiful. I can't get enough of it. ❤❤❤
Thank you and great message and keep pushing Sobriety. Lost my youngest Brother to the drug's in 16. I never want to see my Mom cry like that. Remember it's the one's you leave behind.
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!!!
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
Thank you everyone for sharing your story. I read the comments while listening to this masterpiece and felt the bittersweet of life. It hits deep to my heart because I lost my father back in 2011 from a complication of underlying health conditions that took him to an irreversible pain drug addiction that ultimately took his life. The look on his eyes as he fought for his life those last minutes are burned in my mind and my soul forever. Till we see eachother again pops.
This guy’s singing is actually amazing, he doesn’t need auto tune
We should talk sometime
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.
After a blacked out drunken night kicking out a window im blessed to be here today.... This song while being sober has helped me.
It’s crazy how I cry every time I hear this, the emotion on this, it’s deep. Beautiful and sad song
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
❤
Just saw WM for the second time tonight. The amount of heart & soul in this song & this band in general is astonishing.....they really blow you away with their live shows. I appreciate the meanings in so many of their songs. It hits completely different.
One of my favorite songs of all time. It’s beautiful.
