I listen to this every morning. Im 2 years clean of meth, 3 years clean of heroin, 1 year clean of coke, and 9 months sober from a half gallon of whiskey a day. I honestly can relate to this. Every day I'm greatlul for that i don't use or drink. Edit: Thank you for all the love. You are all my inspiration to stay sober. I love you all ❤❤ I honestly didn't know how much love and support I'd get from you all. Thank you all for the kind words and support! I wish i could just meet you all and give each and every one of you a big hug. I love you all! ❤❤👊☺❤🤗

Havent twisted a pipe in 2 years and have my children back and bought a home. Im blessed to be here today.

37 days sober and I’m finally finding myself again, I lost 10 years to it but I’ll never lose another day

I'm on day 26 of recovery from alcohol and narcotics.. This song made me sob and smile simultaneously. A moment of silence for the beloved addicts that we've had to bury.

Heroin was my demon, I struggled for 5 year’s. It took me longer to mend relationships with family, & friends because I lost my self while taking them with me. My mom passed away it took me then to open my eyes to her wise words I needed to be the women I am today. Addictions are hard but you’re always bigger then those demons.

Alcoholic with 140 days sober today. That line “I’m finally someone that I know again” makes me choke up a bit. Rehab was the best decision I ever made.

Thank you Tom. I could tell you a story of how your music saved my life, my business, my marriage and my relationship with my 4 young children - but I'm sure you've heard it many many times before. Your messages are not lost on people from our generation.. let's hope the younger heads can learn a thing or two from you. Your music embodies my entire experience of life, and i feel a certain strength & peace of mind when I'm listening. Thank you for being so real, congrats on the success of your music, you deserve it. Whenever I'm feeling confused I sit back and listen to you and Mac Miller and it brings everything into focus. I haven't been to meetings in a long time, but I've decided to start going again to help others see what you can achieve through sobriety. I just opened my second business location, so I have a lot of people that rely on me, and its a great feeling knowing that I am doing everything I can to take care of them. I know some of them struggle with addictions - and being able to understand their problems, and meet them on their level has given me the opportunity to have stronger connections with them and offer them help and advice instead of meeting them with anger. Thank you for all your hard work. Love and Peace. It's insane how you made this song relatable for everyone. If you've been down that road, most of these things have happened to you... I was on the rigs doing heroin & oxy with my driller when I was 17. Had a girlfriend freak out and slit her wrists with a broken mirror because I wouldn't give her a line. Crashed my truck drunk with a duffle bag of drugs, and ran from the cops... And everything in between.. to then having kids and seeing success through my own business which ultimately shadowed my own issues until they ran out of control and I had everything to lose. Needless to say - it took a lot of hard work, faith, prayers and support from meetings for me to see, and FEEL the light on the other side. Shouting out all the recovering addicts, and current addicts who are trying to get sober .. don't give up.

146 Days Clean And Sober. I feel so much better. Clear headed and have emotions again. Feels amazing. This song hits home. Thank you. Next stop 147

Hey Tom, I'm a 65 year old man and I gotta say YOU are the poet laureate of this age. Don't ever stop.

Hi Tom. I’m an alcoholic. And thanks to your song. It inspired me to stop drinking. And get a better hold on my life. I have 2 beautiful kids and an amazing partner and the last thing I want is to lose them because of my drinking. Thank you for an amazing song to help me turn my life around.

12 years sober. you CAN do it. it IS worth it. you ARE needed.

Suffered a seizure from an alcohol/pill withdrawal, found Tom Mac Again after not listening to him from so long. This song helped me get thru the days I was in the hospital. Thanks to these Peeps singing, you Helped Me!!!

Jesus Christ. This is music with value.

I have been sober from IV heroin addiction for 6 yrs now 🎉❤😊 I prayed to Jesus to please scare me away from the 💉!!! The next day I sat there for hrs and I didn't prick myself once and NEVER again after that 🎉!!! Please my brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering please turn to Jesus! For me, the hard times i went through with addictions and traumas brought me to Jesus! Usually, we find him at rock bottom! I survived all those OD's and scary situation's because God has a plan for me...Just like he has with all of you! God bless and know that its NEVER to late to turn to Christ no matter what you have done! 💯 Repent in Jesus name every night! Pray for your enemies because it brings them to the light! If i can do this i promise anyone can!! God bless you all ❤❤❤

Use to live that life. Truly that death. Now I’m reborn in Jesus and truly living life sober and happy

I just got out a month ago from doing four years in state prison, due mostly to the lifestyle that comes with addiction. I've been clean now for years. This song reminds me of how I feel on the inside, and I'm not alone. I'm proud of who I've become. Thank you, Tom MacDonald *and MadChild. This is my new anthem.

This song has saved my life, saved me from losing my kids and is helping me fix my mended marriage. This is the realest song I’ve heard in my life.

This is my 3rd time getting clean I'm at 7 months I'm stay sober this time there is nothing in my way to climb to the top amen

Is it just me or has "rap music" as we knew it, just evolved. Thank you Tom and Nova. You two are extraordinary.

I'm 15 years sober from meth . . I have a very addictive personality if I can do it so can yall. . Have faith and never give up. .

Jesus was my rescuer. Former meth addict here. Almost lost everything. Went to jail... Life's still hard, but through it all, Jesus found me. To any recovering addict out there. I love you. Jesus loves you. You can overcome! God bless

I've binged this guy for two days now. This is is what music should do, break you down bc you relate, and build you up bc you know your not alone.

Been going through this for 90% of my life! Awesome that someone brought it to the light instead of glorifying getting high and drunk! It's not a fun life and it gets lonely fast! You rock Tom!!!!🤘

Thank you Tom and Nova. I am 31 yrs sober. It does get better but the war still goes on and I am still winning. Songs like this help in the hard times in the middle of the night when there isn't a meeting to go to. Thanks for sharing your straight

My name is Shelby Anna Ruml and I AM SO GREATFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR MUSIC Tom Mcdonald AND Miss Nova R. THANK YOU

I’m a recovered addict since 2014 a recovered alcoholic for 3 1/2 years next to liver failure and been cig free for 275 days and counting y’all can do this don’t sell your self short you’re a LION even if you don’t believe it yet!❤️

4 days sober from iv meth use. Going to rehab. Been so depressed and discouraged but I'm not giving up. This song inspires me.. good luck to all recovering addicts we can do it

I’m a 44 year old Christian tropical white mom. My tattooed up, son just gave his life to Jesus Sunday. I’ve spent the last week locked away with him while he detoxed from drugs and alcohol…he went through hell! Tonight after church he said, “I’m gonna start weaning off nicotine “. God shaved 10 years of self hate and self destruction of my son in 10 min on his knees. I just subscribed!

3 years sober and never felt better. ❤ It's ok to ask for help... Dont be afraid of the pain. My brother wasn't strong willed enough to make it. Hes been gone a year now. I miss him everyday. 🕊️

This brought me to tears, even tho I've never struggled with this internal war myself. To anyone that's had to pull themselves from the darkness, I'm proud of you.

We're proud of the man you've become too Tom and madchild. When your doing good, people hate. When you're doing bad, no one notices. At least one fan cares. Know that.

This song helped me get through 14 days of detox and withdrawal . Bless you guys thank you 🙏

Thank you Tom, Nova, and Madchild!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Almost 30 years of addiction... I've overcome most of it... Got off the needles and the pipes and bowls....I still struggle with alcohol (killing a fifth of Jim Beam every day... At least)... Addiction sucks! I'm working on getting better... Trying to detox after my last relapse... Music like this gives me hope and courage! So just.... Thank you!!!!!

UKposts needs a heart option. You have no idea how much strength and how much of a difference music like this makes in people's life. Keep it up Tom. Much love.

This is the music that saves people’s lives. Thank you.

Beautiful message Tom ~ Nova is so passionate, Thank you for bringing it ! I lost my brother to a Heroin overdose you speak to all of the lives lost and you are helping so many ! After listening to all of your music I do believe you are a disciple for our time ❤🙏🏻✝️🙌

This was the first song i heard from you, it meant alot to me! I been clean and sober for 4 yrs and 7 months! I been threw alot of this, its crazy!!! Thank you for writing this!! Respect brother! 🩵🙏🫶🤜

9 years clean. 🙋‍♀️ "When I lost it all and never surrendered." This song hit me so hard I had Niagara falls running down my face. I appreciate you all making this amazing song. ❤

Who else teared up while listening to it

I had a 24hr/day crack habit for over 7yrs. I'm currently in a recovery program (Sober date 5/04/23 . I thank God everyday for helping me get sober and erase my mental obession. Getting sober is just the beginning. I'm practicing spiritual principles before personality in all of my affairs. I pray daily for those still suffering. ❤Cheri

16 months sober until today 😢 Gonna dust myself off and start over tomorrow.

Currently in Rehab, i play this song every morning. To everyone fighting this battle everyday dont ever give up YOU MATTER!

i was having a drink while i listened to this, i poured it out.. im done man,..

Best peice of advice I have ever gotten is this... Never Quit Quitting... no matter how many times you fall.. Never Quit Quitting!!! 9yrs clean from everything I could get my hands on. I couldnt find any more veins. My lungs on the verge of shutting down. Sick kidneys. Liver damage like most of us. 4yrs sober also. Me and hubby made it out alive by the grace of god. We do recover. Please dont give up we need you!! You are loved! You are worth it! Never Quit Quitting💜💜💜

So proud of u, Tom!!! I love your music so much you've helped me more than you'll ever know brother I am 4 years clean now I get teary eyed every single time I listen to this song such a masterpiece

I’m coming up on 10 months free from alcohol. The best thing I did after getting my 7th dui charge, wrecking my car ( no one was hurt but me) , having a near death experience, I went to rehab, got involved with AA and completely surrendered my life to Jesus, who rescued me from destruction.

30 years...I had 30 years October 23, 2019. Still need reminders now and again why I don't fall back. Thank you Tom for this. We needed it today. Love to all in recovery.

Never in my 38 years on this earth have i related to an artist as much as this man!!!

I pray for my addicted son soon to be 40. Drugs are his life, along with lying cheating stealing. I miss him. I tried to get help for him but he has to want the help. 😢

Tom I just wanted to say thank you. My names Burton today is my 21 birthday and I am a year and half sober of cocaine and alcohol. You and others like you who have been there are such an inspiration to people like me. Keep up the good work brother. God bless

Going through this shit right now, I listen to this everyday for motivation. Thanks love!

IM GETTING CLEAN NOW THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE ..THE STRUGGLE IS ENDLESS BIG UP TOM MCDONALD AND MAD CHILD NOT AFFAID TO SHOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE , IM GOING TO BE LITENING EVERYDAY HES MY HERO

Tears 😢 I’m feeling the pain and wish everyone to be freed from their addictions. Proud of you Tom for inspiring us to change through your story and thank you Madchild the line of your dog who stood by you through it all and then died had me choked up with tears. No one will ever understand the love dogs have got their owners unless they own one or as I say my dog is my family. My pug Simba would give up his life for me to protect me . ❤❤❤ he is my true family and loyal friend

Needed to hear this today. 10 years 6 months sober now. But days like today I wonder why. Life just continues to kick me in the gut. So i come here and remember why. Thank you Tom and Mad and Nova. Sometimes I need a reminder why. Whoever needs to hear this... I love you. ❤️ you matter so don't stop fighting

For anyone struggling with addiction, just keep trying. Everyone has a magic number. I don’t even know what mine was but eventually I finally got it right. Keep fighting and have faith and hope and one time getting clean is going to be your last time. Life gets so much better I promise.

that moment when the universe hands you a sign through others words or actions... this is what I needed. I been contimplating making a big move in my life, and hearing this was like a sign from the universe. Tom, Nova and madchild, sending all y'all much love and respect from Kentucky USA. forever a fan💖

This song speaks truths in so many ways. Truly a masterpiece

I was told once Tom that you did not experience these things in life, but you wrote from this angle as a true

6 years clean from opioids, 3 years clean from meth MDMA lsd. 2 years clean from cannabis. Now working on quitting alcohol and nicotine. ❤ Thank you for this amazing song Tom & madchild got me reflecting on how proud of my sobriety I am. 🥹 This song has probably helped so many addicts or recovering addicts. Love your music it’s always so real and Relateable. 🫶

"This is a war ill fight forever" don't give up

Madchilds part touched my heart deep.

If you aren't moved by this your heart ain't beating........ God loves us all and is with us even at our weakest................... Every time I hear it... chills....

This song means so much to me. I'm battling sobriety. 30 days now . I think about drinking every day. Fuuuckkk. I hate my life don't know how to change. Have no more friends. No one calls me no more because I'm sober. How do I maintain?

486 days for me...after 20 years of abusing everything...this song made me feel like going another 486 is easily possible, thank you guys for this

This song hit home, started drinking when I was 17 and deal with depression. I drank for 17 years daily. Suicide attempts, mental breakdowns, showing up to work drunk, constantly hung over, drinking before I could leave the house to see anyone, my addiction was part of me for so long. I just hit my one year sobriety in April, this song gives me hope to keep going on the hard days. Edit: Thank you so much for all your kind words and support! It means so much!

August last year i stopped taken fentynol and it was the hardest thing to do. I was sleepy af but couldn't sleep for 16 days and nights. I started hallucinating so much to the point i was talking to both my father and step father which both have passed away. I still think it was really them. Now if i see a blue pill i get sick to my stomach thank God. I still need to work on my drinking. I'm very blessed to be here today. I wish we could get rid of the ingredients to make that nasty ish. To the ones that are still addicted i know it's hard but you can do it. I love all of you brothers and sisters around the whole globe. 💙

Got 34 days sober and thank you so much Tom, Nova, and Madchild for this song. Yall speak so much truth and allows me to keep the faith a d believe I can do this day by day. Thank yall so much again for yalls amazing music

I was a junkie for 24 years and I'll have 2 yrs clean on Oct 6th. I used anything I could get my hands on. I was an equal opportunity abuser. Glad to be sober today

Drinking cost me a 17 year relationship, my dignity, pride, self respect and almost my life. 1 year and 159 days later and I'm still counting days... but I'm also still breathing. Instead of counting Tallboys I'm counting reps in the gym. Instead of running from my problems I'm running miles. I don't have millions of dollars. Hell, I don't even have that many friends. But, for the first time in almost 2 decades I'm proud of who I am and where I'm headed. At 40 years old you could say half my life is behind me. I say the better half lies ahead.

I love you Tom, You're the voice this world needs

It's not about the Person you used to be .... it's about the person you are today !!!

Hey Tom. My name is Adam, I’ve been dealing with social anxiety my whole life. I’ve dealt with overwhelming shame and felt like I never belong. Your music is helping me find my voice and embrace who I am instead of running from him. This song is my anthem, I’ve cried to it multiple times because it gives me power that I haven’t had on my own and your bravery opening up about your issues is helping me do the same. This is allowing me to own who I am and release all the bullshit shame I’ve been dealing with. Love you brother keep doing what you’re doing you’re helping people for sure!

Nova is like this angel in the background that makes the song literally amazing. Tom is great, but her voice with his is what makes the songs amazing. They are literally the best, and I can see they know how lucky they are to have each other.

2 and a half years clean from heroine and meth. Started both at 15. Thank you Lord for delivering. Now I help others find there truth.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God. I owe Him everything. I pray all addicts find their way home 🙏🏼 if not for themselves, for their families and people who love them. ❤ I pray I may never see another relapse. Crazy when you're scared of yourself. You can't run from that 😔

Shout to all my recovering addicts ..the ones who fought for it all back .. and r.i.p to the ones who didn't get the chance

Within the last 24 hours- I Shazam'd this song off a friend's playlist, listened to it about 35 times, spent 3 hours listening to Tom's other songs on UKposts, and bought a ticket to his show in Minneapolis this fall.

My sobriety date Aug. 20, 2016. I lost my oldest son to his addiction, Mar. 20, 2016. Nothing has been the same since. I miss him.

Jeez, I’m a huge ass man & I’m sobbing at reading the comments of all the people praising their sobriety journeys so far! Stay strong. Fight every day. It’s the best war to win.

I’m 17 and was addicted to coke when I was 12 because of where I lived it was available, I’m just over 2 and a half years sober from my second relapse and this song was the only thing that helped me stay away from it during the pandemic and it’s still helping today. Thank you Tom, you’ll forever be one of my heros

Mental health and sobriety NEED to be talked about. Love what you all are doing to bring it to light and tell your stories

This shit is as real as it gets..Anthem for my life and if you dont feel this one your not a human..best shit ever...somsthing everyone can sing it together and watch the tears roll down and just a uplifting lyrical masterpiece of a song..

Tom, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart..I was told to listen to this song and I’m proud to say I’m home from detox and rehab, 30 days clean off benzoes..Your my inspiration, I can’t thank you enough, you’ve changed my life for the better!

I'm working on being sober. I've made it 4 days. I can tell I will be bumping this song till I make it. Thank you Tom and Madchild.

Seriously thank you for making this song ❤️🙏 i rel😢so much thank the Lord i am now so close to 6 years clean and sober

I haven’t heard this song since the time it came out. I was heavily drinking for years. I’m 16 months sober now and man the grass really is greener on the other side. Become someone you can be proud of and respect 🙏

Addiction is so alienating that something as simple as a song by somebody who relates to you and knows your pain can give you enough strength to pull yourself out of the hole you're in.......

I'm 73 days sober today. I listened to your song every morning while I was in rehab before I meditated. I have no words to describe how much this song helped me thru one of the darkest times of my life. Thank you doesn't cover how grateful I am for this song.

My addiction wasn’t drugs or alcohol but it was self harm. Anytime this song comes on I cry, the line “this is a war that I’ll fight forever” hits hard. I remember when I first heard it my support worker told me about your music while I was in a psych ward 3 years ago and I still continue listening to ur music ❤️

I have listened to this beautiful song and "withdrawals" every day. Almost a year sober with a couple of relapses. I prayed so hard on my knees shaking ,crying for God to deliver me from this pain, tired of the seizures and blackouts. Suboxone saved my life from the constant battle with my brain chemistry from the severe opiod use disorder. Now i have to overcome letting go of that demon, (Suboxone) which is just as painful as the other. Thank you for these truly honest and well versed songs. I haven't heard anything hit addiction so accurately as this. HOG always❤ my hopes to be around for many more albums since every single day is a fight to live.

on day 6 of heroin withdrawal. still can’t sleep through the night, took like 5 baths to try and calm my restless body but couldn’t find anything to calm my restless mind. scrolled through my UKposts recommendations and my higher power placed this song here for me to listen to on repeat to remind me that the battle is never over but it’s possible to get through, it gets better and im not alone. don’t ever cry like I need to but this shit brought me to tears. i needed this. thank you.
