The song is about his dad that passed away not too long ago from an overdose. He is such an amazing, funny and strong dude!! Sometimes our best art comes from the worst pain. I hope he goes all the way with his music. ❤❤ He deserves it!!
This song cuts deep…. I broke down and cried after hearing this song- when I sent it to my wife she called me up crying and said she was soo proud that I am 14 months clean. This cuts deep because it’s 100% true. I have lost friends to drugs and myself. I’m amazed that she is still with me and at my side. This song was my life… #recovery #youarenotalone
So proud of you bro! I have 8 years, and it’s not always easy even after years and years. But after all it’s always worth it! All the best for you and your family!♥️
I know people are saying oh he doesn't get it you can't just leave those friends, it's blunt, it's harsh but it's straight facts. I left everything to get clean, i had to and it's so worth it. That is exactly one of many things you need to do and there are better people out there that want you to be happy.
”Leave your friends”. Man, it shows you fortunately know nothing about addiction. So happy for you. People struggling with addiction doesn’t have friends. Your choice of drug is your best and only friend. This song by honestav breaks my heart everytime I come by it. It’s just too real. Ps. The gentleman with long hair on the second and last vid before the girl on the graveyard is honestav.
Well I would say you aren’t wrong when it comes to addiction but the start of it or just regular drug use does sometimes come down to friends since they could be the reason you get introduced to it one of my friends always told me about the good feelings a drug did to him and that I should try for fun and every time he did it he would beg me to do it luckily I never did but who knows what could have happened if I did and after that
Dude I'm coming up on 6 years clean this summer and this song made me BAWL!!!!! there are so many I had to leave behind to get better and I think that's what it's about for me.....
Man that's a huge accomplishment. And the fact that you're still commenting on issue 6 years later let's me know that it's still a battle daily That's awesome I hope to be there one day
@@Anninukichild after a while at some point it isn’t a daily battle anymore, at least not for me. But it has to be a choice you make. And in some ways it’s always gonna be a struggle, there’s always triggers. Addiction isn’t unfortunately something you can forget, and move on. You just have to learn to live with it in a healthy way. But I promise that when you get clean, there’s gonna be the day when you don’t need to battle daily, cause you have better things in your life.♥️
@@eveliinaniilivuo7329 bro I don't even know the person I would even be. I'm positive a better person or version of myself. Have been medicated since 13 . Now am 40. And really don't wanna have to deal with my childhood trauma which I'm sure is half the issue. Thankyou for the kind words of advice
I'm going on 2 years clean from a nasty 18 year addiction to heroin! Whoever is out there fighting to get clean and sober DON'T EVER give up! The best high I get now is from the hugs and kisses I get from my 3 daughters and 10 grandbabies! Keep fighting and don't give up YOU'RE WORTH IT!!!
The bar "I can't let you go. I'd rather overdose" is an incredible double Entendre flip. Hearing the perspective of himself that he rather overdose, then to be without his dad and listening to it from the dad's perspective. He loves His son, but he rather overdose. This song fills me with melancholy.
This song cuts deep, my daughter’s father is an alcoholic and has other drug issues this song made me think of how she’ll feel later on in life if he doesn’t get better. My uncle and grandfather struggled with addiction too.
I lost a family from an OD. I came home from school and my mom told me as I walked in the door after I got home from school . I remember when she told me I thought my heart stopped, I went deaf, I saw everything in slow motion. It didn’t make sense, it still doesn’t. I’ll never forget at his service starring at his open coffin. I’ll never forget after the service was over my mom and I got into the car and sat outside the Funeral Parlor in silence. I grew up with him in my life, he was always playing a guitar or telling stories of when he was young. I still can’t even process that he’s gone. To this day I ask myself why, Why he did it, he was sober for almost 5 months, he moved back in with my aunt, he was attending family events and seemed totally fine. But clearly it wasn’t. Fly high Kevin Fly high 🤟🏻🕊
I lost my best friend while we were both going through a relapse in our addiction. That shit hurts worse than losing any relative I've ever grieved. There are less people left from my graduating class than are gone due to addiction. It's a major problem in West Virginia. I'm so glad it's starting to get more attention now. ❤ RIP Mindy Marie Meadows ❤
I was an addict for 8 years and my wife stayed next to me the entire time she is a blessing what made me want to get clean and stay clean first time around was there was a video my wife showed me of me in a pill induced nap/coma and my daughter 3 years old tried waking me up to play with her and i couldnt get up she kept saying daddy play with me and i couldnt get up i still hate myself for letting that demon into my life i was a lucky one 😢
I have many guilt ridden memories similar to yours. I’m so fucking happy for you that you kicked that crap to the curb. The voice that says I need to use is so small now that I can’t even hear it, like a dog whistle. But I know it’s dangerous to say it’s not there at all. But I plan on keeping that demon voice far in the distance until I forgot it even existed in the first place. I’m so happy for you and your little family. I wish you a long life of playing with and cherishing your daughter. ❤
@@kassandrad6540 thankyou so much for the props I'm so happy to hear that you can relate as you may know not alot of people can relate so it's a breath of fresh air to hear that you know exactly how it feels to be haunted by memories and that Damm voice but we are both here stronger then ever and the voice is a whisper for me now as well much love my fellow survivor 💚
@@keithhamm7113 of course! We have to stick together as we are the only ones who truly know what it’s like. I wish “knowing what it’s like” on nobody, not even my worse enemy. Much love to you as well! Proud of you! Edit: fixed typo
I too have so much guilt over the selfish shitty choices I've made in my addiction! I've been laid out on the bathroom floor with paraphernalia all around me or only having so much money in the grocery store and putting food back because I knew it would take from my drugs and I didn't want to withdrawal!!! We as recovering addicts can only learn from our shitty decisions and apply it to another day clean or for some another second clean and sober!!!
Been here....my now ex partner was a massive opiate and coke addict, used to steal from whoever n wherever he could. Hed be so fucked up hed be "nodding" basically falls asleep couldnt wake him up, he was also abusive. Then we split and i became an addict and now im almost 10 months clean. My uncle and another family member are alcoholics 😢 But WE DO RECOVER (when were ready) xxxx
I really appreciate you making this video to raise awareness. As someone who has been around addicts my whole life, one of the hardest things is that addiction is a disease. Its been studied and some peoples bains are just wired to be more susceptible to it, genetics can play a big role on that as well. And so often, similarly to depression, sometimes people just lose the battle. And its so hard because as a loved on to the addict, everyones says you have to cut them off and not help them because they can only help themselves, but it just makes you feel like you should have done more or been there when they overdose. I think the show euphoria does a good job of depicting addiction both from the addict and loved ones perspectives in terms of jules story. Otherwise beautiful boy is another amazing movie about addiction if you do want to understand that topic a bit more
Yes my father was a retired ex con, meth cook...RIP..he was alive long enough to meet his grandchildren. But sometimes I feel like me and my 3 brothers never got a fair shot at life...
You don't have to cut your love ones off. This is BS and so backwards. Having boundaries and still loving and caring for them is best. From experience Do what you can live with because once you loose them it's too late
I think its even more sad, that these people don't have anyone around them to talk to. so they go to social media for some type of coping. and we all know social media is a terrible place to be.
Song fucks me up coming from someone who broke and engagement up because I’d rather have H than a partner and not having a relationship with my father because he left when I was really young because of meth bouncing in out of my life. Been sober from H for awhile but I saw my self fall down the same hole my dad did and I’m mad but I understand what happened to him and it’s hard to balance
You don't see it, but once you have you see it everywhere. I see it the guy in Walmart parking lot chopping pills, I see the drug deal at the gas station, I see what people are high, and it's A LOT!
Friend groups we don’t have friends drugs are our friend we have associates that’s about it because when all is said and done if they are still taking drugs you have to stay away as most just try and get you taking shit again anyway.
❤❤❤❤ sending all the love!! I too threw my life away, all of it. Got sober October 10, 2018 and the life I have now is everything I used to think was too far out of reach. It gets better. You have to want it! I’m rooting for you!!!
Fentanyl stole my life- go to a na meeting, you will find you are loved. I had to go to treatment for that shit and still feel the damage I did when I was enslaved to it. It’s not easy, but it does get easier. You are not alone
@@bradleygonzalez7762hey I know the feeling, I used drugs , got clean and in my 14 year clean my son died from a Fentynal overdose. He was a major reason I got clean, breaks my heart. Stick around my friend my heart is broken but I know ending it will not solve anything only hurt more people. Your never alone.

All I can say is I never heard it before until my daughter sent it to me and it cuts my heart wide open

Me and my husband going on 3 years together. Took each other to hell but came back together.
I’ve been smoking for 10 years and drank heavily for 2… it gets to a point where u can’t live without it… life isn’t fun sober anymore
After a while the life is gonna be fun again sober too. I promise.
