8 years sober this August! I was in active addiction for 17 years sprinkled in with mental illness. It’s a miracle that I survived! But now I know I can literally beat anything!
Nah .. it won't hurt. You got this. I broke out of a decade long heroin addiction. It sucked... And i mean it SUUUUCCCKKED.. But I did it. Cold turkey... No rehab. Quit cigarettes, weed all of it at once. Bought a dime because it's all I could afford that day, I thought it was H. Turned out fentanyl and I od'd. That was my turning point. I did it with God. I owe it all to him. Been completely clean for two years. Stone cold sober. Don't even crave for anything anymore by his grace. So here's to you staying clean. . If you really want it it can be done. You just have to want it. You got this.
@@bethpmills Thanks muchly! Talked to the Doc today, looks like we may alter my meds a bit, but I'm feeling a lot better today. Nothing but respect for you VA workers, actually feel like I may finally be able to bring this 25+ year war inside me to an end.
@@gudytwoshoez Right back at you, brother. If there's one thing I'm going to sorely miss when I graduate from this place, it's the camaraderie I feel with fellow Veterans. The support is just overwhelming sometimes! In a good way I mean.😀
Good luck buddy! I'm a recently sober vet too. Gotta say I feel great, and at the same time I feel glad that I'm just tired and done with drinking. Just make sure you take your meds so your brain doesn't slip up, no matter how much of a difference you think they make. I stopped taking mine at one point and was just back to it after awhile. Now I'm taking my meds all the time, sleeping better, and my mood is better, and don't feel many urges tbh.
I drank for 8 years straight 24/7 when I got sober I didn’t even know who I was. I was 18 when it started and I was 26 when I quit. I spent a few of those years homeless digging clams at night and selling them to restaurants.This song really brought me back there.
My first drug and alcohol rehab was in 99. I got off the phone, a pay phone that I shoved two quarters into at the rehab just hoping shed answer and she did, but i knew she was leaving me. I got off that call broken, destroyed. Dude twice my age came over and put his arm around me, he showed me a weathered picture of him and his wife and their kids, then he pulled out a pencil that had never been sharpened, that pencil reflected the logo of the lucrative business he had just lost due to his appetite for heavy substances, it went without saying that he lost his wife and kids along with that business from slapping those yellow rocks into that glass stem. But I didnt really care because I was so broken, my lady was leaving me. He sensed my pain and he turned and looked at me and said "Let me tell ya something about life son.." with that he had Teed up the stage for what ended up being the ultimate cliche, the one cliche to rule them all, he looked me dead in the eye and said "if the yellow crack dont get ya, the pink one will"
Working on 9 years free from substance use. This song has been my saving grace, i fought the struggle alone, but this song, this band made me feel less invisible.
The awesome instrumentation alone makes this song incredible, the lyrics are icing on the cake, I want to start this song over..Tool always has deep meaning and messages for one to interpret for themselves in their lyrics
My interpretation is: Why is it that we can not go about being NOT sober? … Ideas, oppression, and judgments that come from inside ourselves, and then shows themselves outwardly in our behaviors, and our society. We all just need to calm down. 🫠🫶 Much love to everyone 💙🌀🆒
5 years clean from the drugs doing my best to beat alcohol its a strugle but i know i can do it we can all do this bless you all my brothers and sisters stand strong we can beat this forbiden fruit ❤
Now I I'm listening to this and the answer is because you worth sobriety, a long time ago I used to struggle with similar thoughts and feelings of self deprecating, but not today. I'm not longer in the darkness. A superb song anyway.
Wish I could say the same!!!! Have Cirrhosis of the liver and just got out of hospital because of high lactate levels due to the fact that I'm drinking again because my life is a train wreck!!!!!😢
Turning 27 soon, had a year and a half sober. Then slipped. 60 days on the wagon again. I want you to double, if not- triple my sobriety. You can do it and keep it.
Life is tough, this has always been the way Ive dealt with pain and sorrow. Until I found the love of my life, and now she is my drug of choice. I can get high as I want, whenever I want with her ❤
" I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down" I mean to me that screams heroin, meth, cocaine I know it's about alcohol but it's also feel ties to drugs at least to me
Binge alcoholic here 🙋🏻♀️ the first step is admitting it aye? This song is up for interpretation. I’ve interpreted a million times. Either way it’s a head banger. 2024!
Go get what u want! Leave the rest of us behind! But u would be amazed to find out that i want the same thing! And isnt a shame how far we could have went if we had been on the same team. But u have to let people in even when that seems insane. But if ur the one who dont trust from the start then why would u expect ur partner to open their heart? Especially if they have just as bad if not worse baggage then u from the start!!
There's a shadow just behind me Shrouding every step I take Making every promise empty Pointing every finger at me Waiting like a stalking butler Who upon the finger rests Murder now the path of must we Just because the son has come Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done?

Tools of substance. Tools of manipulation. Tools of machines. Cogs of gears, in the grand mechanism of the self-propelling watermill on Mr.Smiths desk.
I am addicted to opiates but I have not used them for a short time, I have been able to stop but the withdrawal syndrome is brutal, I lead a relatively normal and successful life even though that does not mean anything, I have thought about committing suicide but i dont dare to do it for my family who loves me and has always been there for me, especially my dad who is the angel that God sent to earth to protect me, my mom committed suicide when I was 11 years old, I saw how that almost destroyed my family, that is why I have not dared to take my own life.
Going on 4 summers heroin free, thanks to methadone ngl but it is a big difference when u stay true to your treatment and see it as it is treatment and not subbing one vice for another 🎉. One day not far from today i will be able to say that im completely free of any substance derived from the poppy etc,
Been on heroin and now fetty for years and am trying to get sober and it’s hell, I want to sleep forever but can’t I want to start over but can’t do that either, not like how I’d want haha

Been 20 years sober still crave drinks
8 years sober this August! I was in active addiction for 17 years sprinkled in with mental illness. It’s a miracle that I survived! But now I know I can literally beat anything!
Dark lyric, high vocal, deep rythem, all match togather to make masterpiece.
Iconic and anyone that understands alcohol or drug addiction......this tune reverberates through your soul.
This song brings my spine to a tremor! Those in recovery and the ones who still suffeŕ - 13 years sober
"Why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over.."
Stay strong warriors ❤
18yr opiate addiction here. Trying to get clean. Day by day. Love this fucking song.
Probably shouldn’t listen to this one haha

Way deeper!

I'm addicted to an alcoholic. He's my stalking butler.
One of my favorite Tool songs! They got a shitload of greats but this one punches you right in the f face! Iconic no matter how old it gets! ❤

I felt the urge to randomly listen to this song. I haven't heard this in years.
Somg sounded so good on cassette it was crazy
I didnt knew that videos like this one are still being made
240p MovieMaker default text lyrics videos? I was convinced I read "months" wrong haha could've been 9 years ago easily
NOT SOBER, NEVER FELT BETTER.

Narcissist are dependant on hurting other 😢
this song was the answer to my questions i had about my breakup with my ex bf, it feels so deep even though it hurts
Me realizing that the line “why can’t we not be sober” was asking why can’t we find the strength to be sober
This is an amazing song!!!
❤
1:18 Awesome part
2 years of sobriety 🎉
I can relate to this song almost too well. 🫤
Feeling wonderful
I'm in rehab in American recovery center inPomona California y estoy oyendo está canción genial

Im a full fledged alcoholic. Thsi song is bad ass. Do not pass judgment on me.
Je kunt blijven zoeken naar antwoorden, maar als je het gevoel hebt vast te zitten in het verleden, zul je nooit vergeving of vrede kunnen vinden.
Mmm this is a good song here
Great song. I'm off for a beer.
Why can't we not be SOBER ??
It's SO difficult!!!
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path of must we
Just because the son has come
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
