I'm leaving this comment here so that after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I'II get reminded of this masterpiece! [I know this type of comment was overused back then; I used to want a lot of likes, which is why I commented (back then) Though I loved this comment from the moment I read it and the song as well :) 🖤 Thank you all for replying (or reminding me) until now 😊 Take care all! 🖤]
Hope tonight finds you in a good place, and if tonight you’re in a bad place just remember tomorrow is a new day and a second chance to change what you can and the acceptance to know that after tomorrow is another chance to begin again.
This is a song I can say that has literally helped save my life. 5 months sober and strong. If anyone else out there is struggling just know there is someone who believes in you. I know I do. We all can get better, but you can only “eat an elephant” one bite at a time.
I will pray for him, his name please if you are willing.. I am 31 and about to lose everything all because of a relapse this past Tuesday… i been fighting this demon of alcohol since I was 18 I’m very weary but will continue to fight. 🙏❤️
This year I will be sober 6 years.... it was hard, but I've learned to love myself again. Everyone dealing with addiction, I promise, life will get better, hang in their my friend. You're loved ❤
Hi I know I’m just a stranger but I was hoping you have notifications turned on and can see that people care. With all my heart, how are you doing? Are you staying strong? You got this! Don’t give up! 🥰🤗 🙏🏼
You can do this. I know I'm a total stranger but I want to encourage you. As long as there is breath in your body there is hope. Keep going even though it's hard. In case no one else tells you today I'm proud of you all for trying so hard.
This song speaks volumes to me. My mom was hit by a drunk driver. She is thankfully alive. This song is so powerful and had me nearly in tears. Dax doesn’t fault those who fall, as we all fall at some point. Hope you all are doing well in this life.
I am 6 years and 2 months sober, and have finally become truly happy with who I am. To those of you that may struggling, quitting is HARD, but it will be absolute worth it when you start to grow and find yourself again!
Ur post hit my heart im about to goto rehab after 20 years of heavy drinking ive started to have fits the depression is ovewhelming. I congradulate u on ur sobriety. How did u get through it? im so scared when they strip me down... im frightened of the anxiety is their any advice u could give me to succeed in this detox
@Kt Woodruff Im not an alcoholic and I have never drank, and I dont know you and I am sure I never will but just know that I believe in you, know that there is someone out there who believes in you and I am proud of you for taking that step. Rise about it and reclaim your life back.
I hope one day I can be sober. It’s all that I want but at the same time all I want is to be drunk. This song really touches me and speaks on exactly how I feel. To everyone battling their addiction, it will be okay.
Rise above it. Break that curse and strong hold that had you captive. We all battle demons in one way or another but its how we choose to deal with them that makes the difference. I dont know you but I truly believe if you want to be sober, you can do it.
This is exactly how I feel. I’ve been drinking since early this morning and it’s 6:15pm now. I hate myself for it but the only thing that makes me feel better is having another drink. 😑🔫
I feel you so hard ! All I wanna do is feel drunk of high . But also I wanna try to be sober so badly , but doing that alone it's hard 🥹 bur I'm doing it for my kids
If I can do it you can do it I drunk daily just to numb myself after work waking up feeling horrible I’m 8 days sober and I feel damn good no hangover and no throwing up!! I told myself after wrecking my car twice that it’s time to put that poison down!! YOU CAN DO IT ONE STEP AT A TIME I’M rooting for you
This song describes my husband. It breaks my heart and I end up crying my way through the whole song. Dear alcohol, you've become more important to him than me or his daughter. He'd rather stay qasted...
@@wokeempath3331 he probably hates it more than you do. Alcohol was made to be addicted to. Try to slide in this new way to help make improvements....it's called This Naked Mind... Annie Grace. It will help teach him more about the why's and understand from maybe a new perspective. Best of Luck. And I'm sorry 😞 he doesn't love himself right now.
@@lkittcraw You are so right about, “he hates it more than you do” I agree 💯 % because I was there before. It’s an extremely trapped feeling but you continue because you don’t know how not to until you finally come to terms with what it’s really doing to you.
Currently struggling with addiction, but my mind and body are finally becoming aligned. I've always wanted to quit, but my body says otherwise when withdrawals set in. But, self awareness is the 1st step. I'm giving myself a fighting chance, today I take my power back. For anyone struggling with that monkey on their back...I pray you find healing and self-love as well, Ashe.
Really speaks to me, even if I was never an addict. Research on alcohol says that people usually get addicted to it because it "numbs the pain" but amount of numb is worth this.
I've been sober now for 1 year. At this time last year I was in rehab down in Pompano, FL. This was my adopted song in rehab and played at group daily. Lots of teary eyes.
as a 13 year old who’s suffered with a bad drinking habit for nearly 10 months now, I’m 7 days sober and that’s the longest I’ve been in those 10 months 😕, praying for those also struggling
@@mradventure5355probably has alcoholic parents bro. just be glad they’re tryna get sober.. doesn’t matter how old we are just matters that we’re trying to get sober. 18 year old addict
No one will understand unless you go through it your self I'm Fighting everyday with my alcohol addiction I jus lost my baby brother Arron march 29 2022 it's fucking hard but it's the only thing that gets me through my day
Trying to stop drinking because I felt a bit better and active. But life and demands getting at me again, and relatives I feel like not understanding enough to support me. And no friends that would relate or help. So thanks.
Thank you so much for making this song. I’m going on 6 months sober now and it’s literally one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. Especially in today’s society where every other ad/what people talk about is related to alcohol in some way
Wish my girlfriend was here to hear this. She had a drinking problem and this could of definitely helped her. Thank you Dax for the message that will help millions. 🙏 🙏 🙏
U can do it sann 1 day at a time. All the strength is within but we all need help some time. Prayin 4 ur strength and courage. 1 day stronger 1 day wiser.
Thank you every one to remember me on your prayer. By the Grace of God, today I am 353 days clean ❤️... Pls do remember me on ur daily prayer ❤️❤️. May our Good God bless u all ❤️
the words in this song is just so true, "i keep drinking till i'm someone i don't recognize i got wasted" - "repeat the the cycle every day i gotta start with a drink my life been getting sorta crazy and i don't wanna think" its me...
I’m a recovering addict and my mom overdosed a little over a year ago and this song hits me harder then you will ever know. You took my feelings and sang em.
Alcohol is the only thing that people most of us because alcohol is the only thing that most of young people do so that their can't stress or when we are in depression
I understand that this song has really deep meaning and it really resonates with me because of how many relatives I have that suffer from alcoholism. But if it’s not supposed to be vibed to, then he shouldn’t have made it sound so good and catchy!
Bless you lovely , praise God 35 years on and its been the longest road but the best if that makes sense ...much love to all those struggling and fall down. Just put the bottle down, stand up and keep walking forward with your head held high ....don't look back xxxxx All will be well 🙏
Last night I drank my last drop of alcohol. After finishing more than half a bottle of Tequila and it didn’t get me drunk so I kept going and my son woke up and found me in the living room with the bottle and told me “mom you’re an alcoholic” and that stung. So I’m leaving this comment to hold myself accountable. I hope that maybe this will inspire someone else to chose sobriety. To those who went through this battle with me before and saw me make it to 9 years of sobriety, I won’t fail again. To those who are sober, I salute you.. keep going! Let’s do the damn thing! (Respectfully)
Hoping you are doing well and still in sobriety and if not I hope you find your way there soon again ❤ you can do this, I believe in you. You are strong and worthy of a happy healthy sober life. You have people love you, even as a stranger I love you and am cheering for you❤️
Bro u can't quite rap u have to many words of wisdom to say to the world please don't stop. Renegade is amazing going to keep listening to it over and over like I did to this song.
At this moment I'm a recovering alcoholic and I've got 60 days clean this song really touches home with me and so now here's to many years clean and sober!
Every day sober is worth it! 10 years and 9 months alcohol free on the 29th of this month, and I'll tell anyone that the worst day in sobriety beats the best day drinking!
Hope I can reach that point. Was never ever a drinker. My parents were drunks. Then a 10 or so months ago I somehow started? It was almost like I pushed myself cuz I fucking hate alcohol. the taste. The damage it causes. Up to over a 5th a day. I'm somehow still "functional" in day to day but once my responsibility is over for the day I drink myself into an oblivion. And I wake up, shakey. Ill. I'm proud of you. I start detox in a week and I'm so excited. I'm 33 and this shit will kill me. Please never turn back. So so proud of you.
This song! I’m 192 days sober from alcohol. The longest I’ve ever been without since the age of 16. I fight the urge daily and it’s so hard to stay strong. 😭😭😭
@@jonathanarcher3407 I’ve relapsed many times. I didn’t think I’d ever have the chance to be sober. But here I am. I don’t know u, but I believe in u. U have to change your mindset and have faith in yourself. U cannot have success without failure! Life is consistent trial and error. Don’t beat yourself up over your mistakes, after all that’s what makes us human! I have strong hopes for u and I hope u beat your demons.
I lost my husband of 20 years to alcoholism last December and every bit of this song was him except for the part of no one taking care of him. I took care of him for the whole 15 years that he drank until there was almost nothing left of me. I lost myself in trying to help him and he said "thank you" by looking me in the eyes as he put a gun up to his head and pulled the trigger. My heart goes out to any and everyone who struggles with this addiction and to those who love someone who is struggling.
I’m so sorry you went through what you went through. Please remember how much you tried to help him. I left my first husband because of his drinking problem. I am remarried but will still always have love for my 1st. After he threatened to kill me, I just couldn’t go there anymore.
My heart hurts for you! I pray you are dealing with the trauma, I pray that you are happy and loved, at Peace, prospering and doing well in every area of life!
Been sober 8 months and this song is me. Sad but true. I drank as much as I could to numb pain from my past. Lot of my 20's and some 30's are a blur. After almost jumping out a moving car I realized I was done. My wife gave me an option drink or family. I chose my family. Got back in the gym and went from 180 to 158. Back in church and changing the way I raise my kids. I wish I would have stopped sooner but I am done now. God bless
Please dont give up. Ur not alone. Im fighting it too. 12 year opiate addiction. Im now working on 2 months sober. Its the hardest fight ever but I promise u there is a light on the other side and its brighter and more beautiful than u can imagine. Please dont give up. You are worth it i promise u
@@kevinodinson I've experienced everything your talking about. Just remember the pain you've endured and keep that in your mind. People slip when they think they can control the addiction. Always remember!
@@danielfinger6223 thank u man. I did it the hard way too. Cold turkey. No drs or rehab cuz i wanted to send a message to myself to never look back or else ID have to do that again and im not goin thru that again lol
@@kevinodinson I quit everything about a year ago. I picked up a drink and didn't look back. Now I'm in the same shitty situation. I failed but now I realize I can't do the same mistake. I wish you the best! Don't do what I did! I thought I could control it but not the case.
@@danielfinger6223 no man u didn't fail ur just still fighting brother. As long as ur still breathing its never too late. Dont give up man u did it once u can do it again
4 years sober at the end of the month. You can do it. You just have to live for something higher than yourself. I have probably heard this song 1,000 times since it came out.
Put this song on a 2 hour loop and passed out drunk after arguing with my wife over my drinking. Woke up and went to A.A the next morning. Thank you Dax.
Good for you bro. I once had the song sober by tool on like a 2 day loop. That binge almost killed me. I rememeber holding the Bible praying for hours thinking I was dying.
Love this song!!! Wish it came out 13 years ago, having this song when I quit drinking would have made the process easier. Still 13yrs sober from the bottle proud of myself, but recently Ive been thinking about it ALOT because I found out recently Im dying of heart failure, knowing that Ive been wanting to drink but this song is helping me make the decision not give in to the thoughts making me want to buy a liquor bottle. Dax you may not see this but just want to thank you for putting this song out there its helping in ways you never thought it would. Dax is living proof that NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES
I am currently an addict I have been drinking since I was 9 I am trying to battle but it is hard. I do drink to escape just like all alcoholics. I never want to deal with myself and my issues from my past I drink to forget. I hope all of you who drink to excess will take me as a person to talk to or just remember that no matter how hard it is WE will get better as long as we try our hardest and seek some help I am currently in counseling and it has helped a lot I have very bad mental conditions and never wanna deal with it. I hope this will reach those who need it to. I know things will get better because I have gotten myself down to drinking 1-2 times a week albeit several drinks at a time but I have gotten better and it does feel better being off so much alcohol. Please if you are dealing with addiction like me seek help it's not attention seeking it is simply wanting to ask for help you have to WANT to get better before you will truly get better thanks to all who read this I hope you will also comment with your own struggles so others an help
This song has helped me through so much. I was addicted to marijuana for years and this song helped me quit my habit and stop running from my problems. Thank you dax.
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted My life been gettin' sorta crazy, and I don't wanna think I look myself right in the mirror, and I don't even blink Then I get angry, take the rest, and pour it right in the sink I know where this road goes Alcohol ain't my friend, but I keep drinkin' 'cause these demons roam And follow me 'round everywhere I go It clouds my mind and soul, it turns my heart cold But I keep drinkin' 'cause it makes me feel like I'm not alone I'm havin' problems, my pride won't let me reach out Lookin' at this bottle, havin' nothin' but doubt Don't wanna drink, but it keeps comin' around and around and around I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I know I need to quit (I need to quit) I gotta do better (I gotta do better) Example to these kids ('xample to these kids) 'Cause they watchin' when I'm there, but I'm scared 'Cause I've been chasin' the man that I am when I start to drink He's cocky confident, and he don't give a damn what you think This world is beatin' me down, and it's pushed me right to brink I take a shot every time because, man, it helps me escape I'm takin' care of these people, but no one takes care of me I want to talk to somebody, but I feel no one relates I need better now, I think I've lost my way I'm havin' battles with faith, it's painted right on my face I hope better times are comin', no chase, but I'm still runnin' I gotta take control, and I won't stop for nothin' Dear, God, this is my test, promise that I'll do my best Just help with this pain I feel, and pressure that is on my chest I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize I got wasted
I’m leaving this comment to come back and look at a yr from now and then I can see how many people can show someone kindness so that I can show my son there are still good people in this crazy world 💙 #rhykermom
dax it's a blessing having you in this lifetime it really is man ! much love an shine till you cant no more . domt ever let anyone take what you got cause it's a masterpiece you've helped so many people thru so many things. you mean more then you know to us. DAX FOR LIFE
Wish to let my mom listen to this song, she would totally relate. Been struggling with her alcohol addiction most of my life, she passed away in April of this year 😢 she was drinking too the night she passed. RIP mom.
I used to drink a lot myself but haven't done that in several years. But I am addicted to something else (not drugs), and this song made me break down and cry in the shower the other day. It is so relatable and strikes at my soul. I know I need help and will be researching how to get the help I need. Thank you, Dax, for making this song. You are helping everyone outside of your original intention of this song.
Jan 25, 2024 will be 10 years sober, my lil brother passed away one year ago today, he partied like a rockstar on Christmas, I believe he passed from his drinking, he had high blood pressure and refused to take his meds, he drank a whole lot, his first marriage failed, his second marriage almost failed. I sent him this song right before he passed, all he could say is that is a good song, I asked him if he considered going to rehab, he said he was thinking about it, well he died of a brain aneurysm, brain dead and left behind three small kids and a wife. :(
My son too. Keep him alive and save others by telling his story! Lost him in December 29 2020 I tell his story every chance I get makes his life mean something more! He was a good man drinking and all he was always there for everyone. You broke down on side of the road he'd be there, need a ear he was there. Even in trouble with the law when he passed officers showed and spoke of his heart never thought the officers that tased him would be there crying. I know there's some differences in our story but the loss is still the same.

Almost 500 days sober. Your music can and will save people. This song gave me so much hope when I wanted to turn back to alcohol!!!
That's awesome
Keep pushing on my friend
Exactly what I needed right now. Everytime things go good for me, something bad happens. Instead of pushing through, I throw back and go back to it.
Excellent. Keep it laa.
Coming up on 600 days sober now!!! This song is what I'll play when I want to drink again. No matter the traumas life throws at me, I WONT go back!!!
I am marking this song so whenever someone like it I'll be notified and with that it'll heal my wounds from the deepest of my soul
Hope tonight finds you in a good place, and if tonight you’re in a bad place just remember tomorrow is a new day and a second chance to change what you can and the acceptance to know that after tomorrow is another chance to begin again.
Come back n listen wimmie👑👑

Thanks I'm still struggling like hearing that keep it up ill be right behind you

God will help you just ask Him He help other people with your same problem. Jesus will help you if you ask Him
You can do this. I know I'm a total stranger but I want to encourage you. As long as there is breath in your body there is hope. Keep going even though it's hard. In case no one else tells you today I'm proud of you all for trying so hard.

I hope Dax realizes the impact his music has on a broken and bruised world. Be a light that shines in the darkness
Man, FACTS
Even the brightest light burns out eventually, I am that light
Amen bro
Me too!

The most challenging commitment one has to make is to quit alcohol. The lyrics hit hard. Too good Dax!

Really speaks to me, even if I was never an addict.
Research on alcohol says that people usually get addicted to it because it "numbs the pain" but amount of numb is worth this.
Ain't no amount of numb worth living a addicted lifestyle. Think about them words before you puke on what addict have left🖕🖕
it numbs to the point you can move forward
Or until you blackout👍🤷♀️
Yup..agree❤
2:42 speaks a lot about me ngl
I get chills when I hear this. This was my life word for word. I have been sober for a year and a half now. And there is no true word's. Masterful!!!
Damn it DAX there you go AGAIN WRITING SOMETHING MY SOUL SPEAKS!!!! LOVE APPRECIATION AND MAD RESPECT!!!!!

This song to me speaks to all addictions rather than just alcohol. Its about the escape that cant quote be captured by those who just cant understand.
No one will understand unless you go through it your self I'm Fighting everyday with my alcohol addiction I jus lost my baby brother Arron march 29 2022 it's fucking hard but it's the only thing that gets me through my day
And numbs my pain
@@ernestrenteria6183 My heart breaks for you. I lost my gf and mother to my son to pills. This shit got me in tears. Peace to you my friend.
Dax your music is changing lots of lives for the better
Trying to stop drinking because I felt a bit better and active. But life and demands getting at me again, and relatives I feel like not understanding enough to support me. And no friends that would relate or help. So thanks.
Your NOT alone!
Been sober 1 year and 8 months. Let’s get it!
Keep up the amazing work
I have been sober almost 18 years, i am 17 and over half
@@seimi049 Oh wow keep up your recovery
maybe I'll be there someday
@@seimi049congratulations 🎊
Thank you so much for making this song. I’m going on 6 months sober now and it’s literally one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. Especially in today’s society where every other ad/what people talk about is related to alcohol in some way
Wish i could go that far.
Happy new year 🎉
Wish my girlfriend was here to hear this. She had a drinking problem and this could of definitely helped her. Thank you Dax for the message that will help millions. 🙏 🙏 🙏
God bless you 😢

Thank you every one to remember me on your prayer. By the Grace of God, today I am 353 days clean ❤️... Pls do remember me on ur daily prayer ❤️❤️. May our Good God bless u all ❤️
the words in this song is just so true, "i keep drinking till i'm someone i don't recognize i got wasted" - "repeat the the cycle every day i gotta start with a drink my life been getting sorta crazy and i don't wanna think"
its me...
I love it so much I have listend to it at least 100 times and it never gets old
I’m a recovering addict and my mom overdosed a little over a year ago and this song hits me harder then you will ever know. You took my feelings and sang em.
The best most relatable song ever, also "depression " what an honest guy. We feel you ❤
Alcohol is the only thing that people most of us because alcohol is the only thing that most of young people do so that their can't stress or when we are in depression
Love to listen to this when I'm depressed.❤️
This song will forever be a banger
I'll be back after 30 days sober. Day 4. I won't let this happen again. I want to be here for my children
This comment really hits home for me thanks
And I believe in you...
I hope you are still sober
I understand that this song has really deep meaning and it really resonates with me because of how many relatives I have that suffer from alcoholism. But if it’s not supposed to be vibed to, then he shouldn’t have made it sound so good and catchy!
I’ve been sober almost 6 years!
Listening to these words really hits home.
Thank you Lord for my rock bottom….I’m ALIVE!!
congratulations on sobriety!
Glad you made it out, I fear that im falling in slowly
AMEN
@@trinityperkins5833 rehab is for quitter's
Bless you lovely , praise God 35 years on and its been the longest road but the best if that makes sense ...much love to all those struggling and fall down. Just put the bottle down, stand up and keep walking forward with your head held high ....don't look back xxxxx All will be well 🙏
This song touches the soul. It's one of those that each lyric hits a spot man.
Who is still listening to this masterpiece in 2024❤
I am and will never stop ❤❤
Dax its been a year and you still making bangers
Last night I drank my last drop of alcohol. After finishing more than half a bottle of Tequila and it didn’t get me drunk so I kept going and my son woke up and found me in the living room with the bottle and told me “mom you’re an alcoholic” and that stung. So I’m leaving this comment to hold myself accountable. I hope that maybe this will inspire someone else to chose sobriety. To those who went through this battle with me before and saw me make it to 9 years of sobriety, I won’t fail again. To those who are sober, I salute you.. keep going! Let’s do the damn thing! (Respectfully)
Praying you are still sober. Make your son proud.🤗 Stay positive. 🙃
Hoping you are doing well and still in sobriety and if not I hope you find your way there soon again ❤ you can do this, I believe in you. You are strong and worthy of a happy healthy sober life. You have people love you, even as a stranger I love you and am cheering for you❤️
Wish my son could tell me that. He’s 8 he dosent talk, he autistic. Guess I’ll keep drinking.
Hoping that you're doing well and sobriety is doing great things for you!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I'm struggling now pray for us all 😊
this song is absolutely remarkable, what a relatable song, i can't believe i found this song, absolutely amazing and really opens your eyes
The lyrics and the ranges of the voice makes this my favorite song. ❤
This song is in my heart forever😊❤
Bro u can't quite rap u have to many words of wisdom to say to the world please don't stop. Renegade is amazing going to keep listening to it over and over like I did to this song.
At this moment I'm a recovering alcoholic and I've got 60 days clean this song really touches home with me and so now here's to many years clean and sober!
Every day sober is worth it! 10 years and 9 months alcohol free on the 29th of this month, and I'll tell anyone that the worst day in sobriety beats the best day drinking!
Hope I can reach that point. Was never ever a drinker. My parents were drunks. Then a 10 or so months ago I somehow started? It was almost like I pushed myself cuz I fucking hate alcohol. the taste. The damage it causes.
Up to over a 5th a day. I'm somehow still "functional" in day to day but once my responsibility is over for the day I drink myself into an oblivion. And I wake up, shakey. Ill.
I'm proud of you. I start detox in a week and I'm so excited. I'm 33 and this shit will kill me. Please never turn back. So so proud of you.
How are u doing brother still good?
Help me
Congrats ❤ keep it going
I cry every night too this song it makes me hopeful I can quit
Songs about a battle you are fighting always strike deep
This song! I’m 192 days sober from alcohol. The longest I’ve ever been without since the age of 16. I fight the urge daily and it’s so hard to stay strong. 😭😭😭
So proud and you should hold your head high ! Your an inspiration to myself and so many others!
@@gailhilder5720 Thank u so much! That means a lot to me 🥺❤️
Glad ur sober, i went to rehab but relapsed and i cant stop
@@jonathanarcher3407 I’ve relapsed many times. I didn’t think I’d ever have the chance to be sober. But here I am. I don’t know u, but I believe in u. U have to change your mindset and have faith in yourself. U cannot have success without failure! Life is consistent trial and error. Don’t beat yourself up over your mistakes, after all that’s what makes us human! I have strong hopes for u and I hope u beat your demons.
You got this stay strong
My uncle passed the other day and he always would listen to this song with a bottle of liquor in his hand I love you till we see again❤
Every word is truth!
I lost my husband of 20 years to alcoholism last December and every bit of this song was him except for the part of no one taking care of him. I took care of him for the whole 15 years that he drank until there was almost nothing left of me. I lost myself in trying to help him and he said "thank you" by looking me in the eyes as he put a gun up to his head and pulled the trigger. My heart goes out to any and everyone who struggles with this addiction and to those who love someone who is struggling.
I’m so sorry you went through that 😢 my heart goes out to you ❤ I hope you can find peace and healing.
I’m so sorry you went through what you went through. Please remember how much you tried to help him.
I left my first husband because of his drinking problem. I am remarried but will still always have love for my 1st. After he threatened to kill me, I just couldn’t go there anymore.
I am Soo sorry that this happened to you :( hugs 🤗
My heart hurts for you! I pray you are dealing with the trauma, I pray that you are happy and loved, at Peace, prospering and doing well in every area of life!
To anybody out there struggling, you aren't alone. I am here also.
"I'm chasing the man I am when I start to drink" ... that hit me
Found this after I stopped drinking but it still helps me everyday. Alcohol doesn't control my life anymore
I'm broken to the bone, i always listen to this song everytime feeling sad, holding a bottle of alcohol to forget the pain in my chest
I been dealing with this problem for a while first time hearing this song and it got me my eyes got watery.
I wish to heal from the wounds of struggle and have peace ❤
Been sober 8 months and this song is me. Sad but true. I drank as much as I could to numb pain from my past. Lot of my 20's and some 30's are a blur. After almost jumping out a moving car I realized I was done. My wife gave me an option drink or family. I chose my family. Got back in the gym and went from 180 to 158. Back in church and changing the way I raise my kids. I wish I would have stopped sooner but I am done now. God bless
Still trying to get sober alcohol has had a hold on me for 12 years. This song give me hope…
Please dont give up. Ur not alone. Im fighting it too. 12 year opiate addiction. Im now working on 2 months sober. Its the hardest fight ever but I promise u there is a light on the other side and its brighter and more beautiful than u can imagine. Please dont give up. You are worth it i promise u
@@kevinodinson I've experienced everything your talking about. Just remember the pain you've endured and keep that in your mind. People slip when they think they can control the addiction. Always remember!
@@danielfinger6223 thank u man. I did it the hard way too. Cold turkey. No drs or rehab cuz i wanted to send a message to myself to never look back or else ID have to do that again and im not goin thru that again lol
@@kevinodinson I quit everything about a year ago. I picked up a drink and didn't look back. Now I'm in the same shitty situation. I failed but now I realize I can't do the same mistake. I wish you the best! Don't do what I did! I thought I could control it but not the case.
@@danielfinger6223 no man u didn't fail ur just still fighting brother. As long as ur still breathing its never too late. Dont give up man u did it once u can do it again
4 years sober at the end of the month.
You can do it. You just have to live for something higher than yourself.
I have probably heard this song 1,000 times since it came out.
This is by far a song that explains why I’ve let alcohol become a dependency an i needa stop, thank you dax..thank you
Put this song on a 2 hour loop and passed out drunk after arguing with my wife over my drinking. Woke up and went to A.A the next morning. Thank you Dax.
Good for you bro. I once had the song sober by tool on like a 2 day loop. That binge almost killed me. I rememeber holding the Bible praying for hours thinking I was dying.
Much love brother
@@kodywhite7522 thanks bro same to you may God be with you
this song touch my heart when i sing it
Love this song!!! Wish it came out 13 years ago, having this song when I quit drinking would have made the process easier. Still 13yrs sober from the bottle proud of myself, but recently Ive been thinking about it ALOT because I found out recently Im dying of heart failure, knowing that Ive been wanting to drink but this song is helping me make the decision not give in to the thoughts making me want to buy a liquor bottle. Dax you may not see this but just want to thank you for putting this song out there its helping in ways you never thought it would. Dax is living proof that NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES
gah
wow.this banger hits a whole lot of us straight in the soul. much love for this my brother
I need a prayer for my dad he is an alcoholic 🙏
Will do 🙏
I am currently an addict I have been drinking since I was 9 I am trying to battle but it is hard. I do drink to escape just like all alcoholics. I never want to deal with myself and my issues from my past I drink to forget. I hope all of you who drink to excess will take me as a person to talk to or just remember that no matter how hard it is WE will get better as long as we try our hardest and seek some help I am currently in counseling and it has helped a lot I have very bad mental conditions and never wanna deal with it. I hope this will reach those who need it to. I know things will get better because I have gotten myself down to drinking 1-2 times a week albeit several drinks at a time but I have gotten better and it does feel better being off so much alcohol. Please if you are dealing with addiction like me seek help it's not attention seeking it is simply wanting to ask for help you have to WANT to get better before you will truly get better thanks to all who read this I hope you will also comment with your own struggles so others an help

glad im not the only one who doesn't drink but loves this song
this is the music that helped me. i wont say anything but thank you so much dax.❤️
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
My life been gettin' sorta crazy, and I don't wanna think
I look myself right in the mirror, and I don't even blink
Then I get angry, take the rest, and pour it right in the sink
I know where this road goes
Alcohol ain't my friend, but I keep drinkin' 'cause these demons roam
And follow me 'round everywhere I go
It clouds my mind and soul, it turns my heart cold
But I keep drinkin' 'cause it makes me feel like I'm not alone
I'm havin' problems, my pride won't let me reach out
Lookin' at this bottle, havin' nothin' but doubt
Don't wanna drink, but it keeps comin' around and around and around
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
I know I need to quit (I need to quit)
I gotta do better (I gotta do better)
Example to these kids ('xample to these kids)
'Cause they watchin' when I'm there, but I'm scared
'Cause I've been chasin' the man that I am when I start to drink
He's cocky confident, and he don't give a damn what you think
This world is beatin' me down, and it's pushed me right to brink
I take a shot every time because, man, it helps me escape
I'm takin' care of these people, but no one takes care of me
I want to talk to somebody, but I feel no one relates
I need better now, I think I've lost my way
I'm havin' battles with faith, it's painted right on my face
I hope better times are comin', no chase, but I'm still runnin'
I gotta take control, and I won't stop for nothin'
Dear, God, this is my test, promise that I'll do my best
Just help with this pain I feel, and pressure that is on my chest
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
Absolutely adore this song such a strong true message 😢❤
I’m leaving this comment to come back and look at a yr from now and then I can see how many people can show someone kindness so that I can show my son there are still good people in this crazy world 💙 #rhykermom
Beautiful song, beautiful spirit. Love u Dax & keep on making beautiful music🙏❤😘
If you have licked it stick it to a wall somewhere
dax it's a blessing having you in this lifetime it really is man ! much love an shine till you cant no more . domt ever let anyone take what you got cause it's a masterpiece you've helped so many people thru so many things. you mean more then you know to us. DAX FOR LIFE
Wish to let my mom listen to this song, she would totally relate. Been struggling with her alcohol addiction most of my life, she passed away in April of this year 😢 she was drinking too the night she passed. RIP mom.
I used to drink a lot myself but haven't done that in several years. But I am addicted to something else (not drugs), and this song made me break down and cry in the shower the other day. It is so relatable and strikes at my soul. I know I need help and will be researching how to get the help I need.
Thank you, Dax, for making this song. You are helping everyone outside of your original intention of this song.
Hope ya all be good not now but someday! Cheer up guys lets face whatever waves comes.
It's so related to my life 💔💔💖
Me too
Just got introduced to you this year, and I have to say you are better than most of the rappers out there I’ve heard. Keep up the good work, man!!
Jan 25, 2024 will be 10 years sober, my lil brother passed away one year ago today, he partied like a rockstar on Christmas, I believe he passed from his drinking, he had high blood pressure and refused to take his meds, he drank a whole lot, his first marriage failed, his second marriage almost failed. I sent him this song right before he passed, all he could say is that is a good song, I asked him if he considered going to rehab, he said he was thinking about it, well he died of a brain aneurysm, brain dead and left behind three small kids and a wife. :(
I'm really sorry for your loss
My son too. Keep him alive and save others by telling his story! Lost him in December 29 2020
I tell his story every chance I get makes his life mean something more! He was a good man drinking and all he was always there for everyone. You broke down on side of the road he'd be there, need a ear he was there. Even in trouble with the law when he passed officers showed and spoke of his heart never thought the officers that tased him would be there crying. I know there's some differences in our story but the loss is still the same.
