13 year old me has so much healing to do 😢 this song is what our generation needed. Heal, babies, we deserve it!

[@HeatherFoskey]

Lost my dad at 14, I’m 28 now. Still feel like I’m the sad 14 year old asking the world why it had to be him. I’ve lived as much as my life with him than I did without him and it really hits different.

[@nataleegrubb1822]

so much healing to do, I'm a young adult now and learning to deal with all of it.

[@rachelhartman5245]

That's right babygirl, I know wayyy too many people that have died from drugs and their kids are who's left to deal with the pain and trauma. Heal baby ❤️

[@robinszumanski2941]

Forgive. You have to forgive. Don't ask why we are in a broken world full of broken people. You have to forgive 🙏 if you ever think you're alone and you're terrific things you've endured you are never alone cry out to Christ! He will hear your cry and He will show up. Instead of trying to overcome on your own surrender to Him. If you don't know how to forgive you need to ask Him. People blame God for the terrible things that Go on in this world but the truth is its sin and then the author behind it is Satan the enemy your enemy and my enemy who hates us so instead of blaming the one who can heal us let's run to Him and when we don't choose Him we automatically choose the enemy who's influences have taken over our lives and given us broken pieces. Amen I tell you today that there is hope and joy in the Lord 🙏 He loves you more than you could possibly imagine even when you don't feel it it is still truth. I love you. You ever need to talk to somebody respond to the message❤

[@BangersOnly]

this one is blowing up right now and so well deserved, what an incredible song from these guys

[@jenniferwinn4375]

This song always gets me teary eyed. Lost both of my parents to alcoholism related deaths by the time I was 23. My father first, right after my 20th birthday. My Mom passed when I was 23, just before my son's 1st birthday. I'm 40 now, and I've lived more of my life without a Dad than I did with one in my life. I miss my Mom so much, both of them, but I have so much childhood trauma from their issues with alcoholism ... and I will never be able to show them that the struggles of alcohol addiction died with them - my son has never seen me drunk a day in his life, and he'll be 18 in a few short months. Be better for those that love you, if you can't find the strength to do it for yourself. Because someone will be hearing this song 20 years later and still crying with how much they miss you and can't let you go.

[@markmanter6508]

Haven’t been able to stop listening to this since I found it. Love when I find those type of songs that feels like the artist wrote it with you in mind and then look in the comments and see how many other people relate.

[@TheWilliamsFamily._]

Im 21 & this song shakes me to the core. Hes helping healing generations that he didnt hurt. I pray everyday for my mom to recover. If she sees this. Mom come home. We love you 😢

[@colorfulwreck3237]

I’m going through it since I was born and still it hurts and even now I know where she stands it hurts, the drugs was enough for her

[@epicdragon7046]

I never knew what alanon was till I was an adult. It helps to be around people who understand

This song needs to win an award…🫶🏼

[@music_flow731]

❤

[@ArayaandEdenlovers]

That's awesome

[@Mr.Jtea3]

because the artist took advantage of the drug epidemic going on in the world so we made a cheap song with cheap lyrics about it God, you are so weak and such peasants. Doesn’t take much cheap shit for y’all to gravitate towards you. Don’t get attention at home or in your neighborhood, so because you popped a Percocet once in your life and hear a stupid song like this, you relate to it all of a sudden I could keep going on and on all of you are so fucking fake

[@zmbattaglia9455]

[@bewarethesirensong]

I found this song and haven't stopped sobbing. This has brought me so much healing. My best friend and I got sober 9 years ago. One year later he intentionally overdosed when depressed and I still miss him every single day.

[@SavageKingBird]

Sorry for your loss. Same thing happened to me. RIP MIzz Jaye

[@kamaraplant4952]

It breaks my heart reading these comments, knowing that so many really young children relate to this song. Losing a parent(S) / or watch someone they love dying and or suffering from addiction. I can’t imagine how lonely and broken they all are feeling. The world is falling apart and aggressively getting worse. sending so much love to all of the babies out there. Please don’t fall in these foot steps and be the change. Advocate what you believe in. I met my dad for the first time after I had my daughter in 2015. He was addicted to alcohol. I ended up leaving our relationship a few years later, I just couldn’t watch it anymore. He loved the booze more then us. Subconsciously I always thought we would meet again. He ended up passing away 2 years ago. I never had the opportunity to tell him how much I loved him or how much he meant to us. Addiction rips everything apart. 💔

[@Kayla-pk8mo]

Grieving the loss of someone who is still alive is the worst. I love you, dad. On repeat for the next 80 years ❤️

I appreciate songs like this while struggling with sobriety, just a reminder that getting clean was the best decision I ever made not just for me but my kids!! The pain in his voice as an adult is heart breaking and time doesn't heal all wounds 😢

[@itsmemorgannew]

Got sober in 2015 and this song hits hard 🥺😭 ill forever feel guilt for the trauma i caused my children

[@Asheronpawz-t7d]

For real! I'm 32 with a 10 year old n 7 year old, all I ever feel is total guilt! So wish I could turn back the time

[@rc947]

The past will always sneak up on us but May I say how so proud I am of you for your strength and your love for your children to want to get better and do better and now be better than before. We all have a choice and yes we make mistakes. Sometimes many mistakes but learning is what's important. Learning to be better and do better. I'm so proud of you and I know that no matter what. Your children are proud of you too. Hugs! Keep it up Queen! You've got this and you are making better choices. We cannot change the past but we can rectify it by our choices today for our future. God bless

[@davidquinones7035]

Same here, this song does it. Congratulations

As someone who’s mom never did this for them I promise your kids are so grateful to get to have their mom, I don’t know you’re situation but I hope EVERYONE heals, and I’m so proud of you for accomplishing what you have keep going momma!

[@yvonnedolan2691]

As a child of addicts, I just want to say please just communicate that with them and let them know you love them always. Maybe even let them know what traumas led you to substances if you are comfortable enough so they understand. You are only a human. Please dont beat yourself up over it forever. Just love them as hard as you can going forward. I'm so proud of you.

[@twistedangelcosplay]

I don't have parents and my sister is an addict. This song made me cry so hard the first time I heard it. Anyone struggling with an addict family knows.

“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” ― Aeschylus

[@Horsegirl150]

I like how this song gives both perspectives. The person is hurting because of their addiction and the person who is hurting because of the addicts behavior.

[@janessapeterson3425]

. As someone who just had to end a 6-year-old relationship due to the person being unable to see they had a problem, this song hits hard. I couldn't stand by and watch any longer... There was nothing I could do. The only thing I could do was for myself, and that was to walk away from it all.

[@tamigordinier5462]

How did you do it? I'm currently in this situation and I don't know how to walk away after 15 years and 2 children.

[@janessapeterson3425]

@@tamigordinier5462 it was honestly like a switch flipped for me. I just had no more feelings for him, i was completely exhausted and I no longer wanted to be treated the way I was being treated. I was done being constantly lied to and talked down on. I’m almost 3 months out of that relationship and I’ve never gone back to him once. It almost becomes a pride thing after awhile. You count down the days you’ve been away and it starts to feel like a victory! Looking back, I’m embarrassed that I even put up with what I did. Once you realize that you truly have gave them every single chance you have in yourself to give and they simply ignored it every time…. You begin to see that it isn’t even worth it anymore. Make yourself happy you deserve it.

This song is so good it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves

[@kellyisaac4826]

Lost my husband to Oxy. The overdose left him brain damaged in a care home. He has three children and a grandson that he missed out on. I wish this music was accepted in 2001 when I saw my handsome, smart and loving husban turn into a zombie right before my eyes and battling the addiction (after two rehabs) I had to sink or swim and left him. My adult son still blames for tearing apart the family? Prayers for all the spouses that are going through this horrible loss. 😢

[@amberjudd5459]

I feel you so much… but I was an addict also. Fentanyl… I oded September 5th got out of the hospital th 7th after being narcanned 16 times to bring me back. But when I got out of the hospital he had me a coming home present. 14 fentanyl pills waiting for me… I couldn’t do it to put daughter and I turned around and left

You made the right choice mama's. Your son will see one day. ❤😊

This song reminds me a lot of my dad I hope one day he can get clean it’s too late for my childhood, but he should do it for himself now

[@erinlebo5347]

My dad passed 7/3/2010. He watched me walk the stage, and I got my diploma the day I said goodbye to him; he missed my kids, my first home, and never got to walk me to my husband. I hope your dad gets better to see the rest for you. I'd never wish this on anyone 💝

[@alexxgaiters1737]

this hurts my heart bcuz i don’t believe that addicts love getting high more than they love their loved ones (parents, children, family, friends, etc.) i think that when an addict picks up its no longer in their control anymore. using becomes a need, not a want..

[@themorses6742]

Yeah I agree. I was an addict for years. I love my kids more than anything but when I was full blown into my addiction I couldn't stop. I needed it to survive. Finally one day after trying to quit many times I decided to quit cold turkey and been clean 4.5yrs now.

[@daem8134]

You are very right. I am a recovering fentanyl addict, and I can say I hate fentanyl and who I became on it. When you become chemically dependent on a substance, you have to keep using it, or you start feeling withdrawls. Withdrawls make you feel like want to jump out of your skin, cry, scream, are freezing, but sweating at the same time, your body feels so weak, all you want to do is sleep but your so uncomfortable you can't. If getting off drugs were so easy, more people would when they see the path of destruction they are creating. It's not impossible, but it definitely feels thats way.

[@jrab3636]

Omg this song hits in the ❤ for everyone on all sides of addiction. Just wow!

[@ElizabethLein-xj9sb]

This song brought actual tears to my eyes it hits close to home for me especially and I'm sure so many other my mother was an alcholic and abused drugs on a daily and I remember feeling alot of this growing up and than I grew into adulthood and unfortunately followed in her footsteps in many ways and had children of my own so thinking this is how I made them feel is what brought those tears on.. Addiction is hard the people that have never struggled can't grasp how truly life altering it is! thankfully I have been sober 8 years but I also put my eldest child threw 8 years of potentially making him feel like i cared about using more than him :( and I dealt with it my entire childhood :( so this is a song I will be keeping in my Playlist thank you!

[@tearehultman7262]

I can't listen to this song without breaking out in tears. It's so painful yet so true. I grew up raised by my grandparents along with my 2 younger sisters because my mom was and still is a crackhead and wasn't able to be there because of it. Once i turned 15 is when my drug addition started... injecting heroin... all to numb reality and not feel anything. Im 7 years sober. This song hits home with the way i feel about my mom and childhood. It also makes me feel all the feeling I'm sure my family felt when it came to my own addiction. I love this song but like i said... its so painful and true.. brings up so many masked emotions.

[@KorianneParker]

You're story Is much like mine. My mom was on crack then I grew up and started shooting H. We were best friends using together she died if an overdose 2 years ago.

Thankfully I have an amazing mom, but my niece is less fortunate. Her mom (my sister) doesn’t know how to live without drugs. We’ve all tried to help her. I know she wants someone else to save her without putting any work into herself…it’s a really messed up situation. I’m not an addict so I can’t possibly understand her pain, but I feel for my niece. My mom means the world to me, and if I was my niece it would shatter me to see my mom so broken. My niece is the strong one, and I will support any decision she makes.

[@arivera6021]

She wants someone else to save her without putting any work in herself ? You don't realize how fucking selfish this statement sounds it lacks empathy and it lacks understanding it attempts to place blame on the already guilty then goes further to call them out for not being responsible enough to support themselves in they're own recovery ... obviously they're irresponsible that's why they need structure and support from a caring responsible ... other than themselves as they don't fit the description what really gets under my skin though is how determined it seems one is to sit back and ridicule the addict for being unable to change on they're own ... get off the high horse , and take some responsibility in who u say you care about by helping them when they Cabt help themselves .

😢😢😢 this song hits it deep been sober from opioids since I was 17 when my heart stopped in my mom's arms

My daughter sent me this song telling me how proud she is of me and she can’t do the TikTok trend LoL because I chose my kids over drugs. The truth is, I chose myself. My kids were just the backbone of my heart that made me stop My top regret The addiction doesn’t only ruin yourself. It ruins, the ones you loved also. And you can do it almost 6 years clean and I’m living my best life today.

To those of us who understand both sides of this song. My love is for you. It's for the addict and it's for their families. To the ones who don't understand may you always stay so blessed. But I beg you to listen to these words, really listen to these words. This is the inevitable heartbreaking story "just one time" can lead too. There's nothing in life that cannot be enjoyed sober. But everything you enjoy and love will be taken through addiction ❤

[@KorianneParker]

Well said! 🫶 I don't wish it on my worst enemy and I truly hope the ones who don't understand, never will ❤❤

My dad, first 10 years of my life I witnessed the most drugs alcohol and abuse I have ever been thru from the age of 11-24 I never been around it again. And I still struggle daily with being able to be normal like other people can, unfortunately if ur listening to this song our stories or somewhat similar, my dad try to sell me for drugs, luxky me it was to a undercover, I got taken and given to my mom… I’ve never trusted anyone since… I’m 24 and he took my childhood from me, I can’t even love someone because I’m so scared I’ll just get pawned off, literally… thank u for this song. My dad is still out doing the things he does, but lucky me I got away in time

I miss you my brother, I wish I could sit with you one more time before the addiction took you away from me and our family. You were only 15 and you didn’t know what you were getting yourself into. The adults who gave you the drugs failed you. The system failed you. I miss the old you.. I miss my older brother that was my best friend and my protector. I hope you will find your path back into my life without drugs. I will always cherish the beautiful memories before the drugs took you from me..

I had an absent mother for 3 years of my life because of her addiction it hurt everyday and this song feeds the inner teenager who was crying begging her to love me but she has been clean for 8 years now and couldn't be happier❤

[@leannem946]

An anthem for addicts, loved ones of addicts and everyone in between. This is both sides. I've lived both sides and this song hits hard! ❤❤❤

[@tarashahmoradi8022]

Words can’t describe how much I love this song‼️ and stuck on the floor ❤️ I can relate to it in more than one way!

[@jaelynnlewis7130]

I’ve never needed to hear this song as much as I do now❤️‍🩹

[@MarkBurberry-qp1qn]

This is a song the world needs to hear ❤

[@zoefairbrother8519]

My brother was an alcoholic. He died in September after taking a header down the stairs. Mom died in 2016. I've listened to this song 50+ times. It's one of the only songs that makes me feel better ❤

[@kryswood90]

growing up in the rooms and saying goodbye to so many that i miss so much.

[@amyolauson8341]

You put everything in this song. Unfortunately, it is very relatable. 💔

[@jessstanbury9839]

Love you so much for your hard work

Both my parents died due to addiction. It tore my family apart for generations. My little sister drank so much she's currently in the hospital with gastroparesis. Her stomach is paralyzed and she has a feeding tube and she lost over 100 pounds in less than a year. My mom and both my uncles died before 40 and so did my grandpa...My sister and both my brothers are still in the cycle...I broke it in 2021 for my 4 Daughters. You got this. We got this. Anyone who thinks you can't...if you want it you can. That's all it takes. Choose it for you and then for the others around you. But you gotta want it for you first. Proud of the ones who made it and the ones trying...a lot of people i care about and ones I don't even know the names of but I know they belong to eveyone here didn't get that chance.
