Billy Currington - Walk A Little Straighter Daddy REACTION! THIS REACTION WAS ROUGH MY GOODNESS

[@tuckerrickman9896]

I wish Billy Currington was more popular, he doesn't get near as much recognition as he deserves, and considering what has been passed off as country the last 15 years he should been in the grand ole opry.

[@beardgang594]

One of my favorite songs. I'm a recovering alcoholic myself. I've been sober since October 2, 2011 and I still struggle with it everyday. My kids were 10 years old and 6 years old when I stopped drinking. I'm by no means a perfect father but after several years of my kids living with me as an alcoholic I finally realized how I was affecting my kids and my wife's life and I knew I had to change. Thank you so much for your reaction to this song!!

[@nikkitharrington6018]

Congrats on staying sober. It's not easy, man. My Dad is an alcoholic/addict, and to this day he says "I dont have a problem." My Mom was an addict/alcoholic. She has 9 years sober. So, keep it going, man. Hats off to you.

[@billypriddis3553]

Keep it up Matthew.

[@thisbetterman]

from some rando on the interwebs whose family was hurt by alcohol, GREAT JOB!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! SO PROUD OF YOU FOR ADDING ONE DAY AT A TIME! SO HAPPY FOR YOU! remember, it's one decision at a time. Remember what you have to lose and keep WINNING!

[@jonathandevoe70]

Keep up the good fight man way to be an example of what a real man is to your fam

[@rondag.3761]

Congratulations on your sobriety!! I've been sober 24 years and every day IS a struggle to make the right decision but it does get easier to say no.

[@brandongardner6930]

It’s the correct speed. This song has always made me think of my mom. She was an alcoholic who passed away from liver disease in November. She was 42. It’s a beautiful song, imo.

[@andrewduvall1759]

His experiences with his family growing up is like this song. His pastor drove him to Nashville so he could pursue his career.

This song tears me up every time I hear it! My Dad died of alcoholism when I was only 12 and most of my memories involve him drunk! But I loved him so!!

[@stephanienicole4093]

A beautiful song. I cant relate cuz I was blessed to have the most loving and supportive daddy. I had him for 33 years and He loved me with all of his heart until the day God called him home. Now he is my angel watching over me.

[@nacolecottrell6416]

I grew up with addict parents, and this song hits me in the feels. I’ll never forget the feeling of realizing they had gone home in the middle of my graduation, and being alone when it was finished, and watched all my friends get hugged and congratulated by their parents. You should review Montgomery Gentry, I’ll keep the kids.

[@pinkninjaturtel9723]

This happened to me at my college graduation. My mom is the addict and she roped my dad (they've been divorced 20 years now) into leaving before the ceremony was over. The speaker told us to look at our parents and thank them and I couldn't see that far away but I believed they were there. My heart hurt so bad when I realized they weren't. I expected my mom but she roped my dad in too was the worst. He showed up to all my HS senior events she was too drunk for. I know this sucks but it feels better know that I'm not alone. It doesn't hurt less! But people with sober parents don't get it.

[@ryleebrettsmommy2704]

I am so sorry that happened to you

[@taracaudill5419]

Billy so emotional is my favorite 🥰

[@nikkitharrington6018]

Shit. Damn it. Jesus. This song was my childhood. And more. Man. I always cry when I hear this. My Dad was drunk/high at my graduation and he was drinking and poppin' valiums when I was sworn in to the Navy. Bless. Thank goodness it isn't the video, too. Lawd.

[@sghsrox09]

My dad passed away when I was 13 from alcohol both of my parents were alcoholics but the day my dad passed away was the first time I heard this song it was actually on the way home from the hospital so this song hits home that was almost 17 years ago I get chocked up every time. Miss you daddy so much!!

[@willieharrison1359]

Billy Currington people are crazy is a very good song

[@aaroncoffman88]

My Dad, until the day he passed never drank, smoked, cussed, or did drugs and that is my example to live by. I am 48 years old now and so grateful I followed his example. I have friends who tell me how they wish they had followed my example and never tried tobacco or alcohol and that is a great testament to not only me but my Dad. Great reaction video Billy. Loved it

[@everquestwidow71]

Please do Holes in the Floor of Heaven. It speaks to my parents who have passed. on.

I lost my dad when he was 64 to ALS . However the one thing I always had is a father that always was a good example! He always was there to show me how to be a son to my mom, a husband to my wife and a father to my kids! I was very lucky and I know that!!

[@hajislover]

Good news--he just did it

[@dawnietheheartie3276]

This song is such a difficult one for me to listen to. When it came out, it was agonizingly relatable, since my son was living it. He was a kid just like this, and to this day, he can't listen to it at all and will leave the room if it comes on the radio or something. His father was a bad alcoholic, and when he was little, my son idolized him and would wait for him to come home from work at night, just like the kid in the song, only to be completely ignored. It broke his heart and mine, because no matter how much love he got from me, he wanted to be dad's little man. About half his childhood was spent without his father at all, because we divorced and alcohol was more important, and he spent several years with anger issues because of it. He's 23 years old now, and he's realized that none of it had anything to do with him, but it has affected so much in his life since he now never wants to be a father because of the example his father gave him. I applaud parents who are recovering alcoholics and got their lives together so they could be better parents for their kids, because the damage can go deep and be very long lasting. No child should ever have to live like this.

[@barbarastubbendick4848]

This song reminds me of my own father, who like you is a military veteran and an alcoholic. He lives 30 minutes from me but I only see him on holidays, and birthdays because of his drinking. I worry about my children seeing him like that and I have to protect them from their own grandfather. It is very painful just to see him and see my kids wanting to see their grandfather but they know that my dad's an alcoholic, they've seen it. Now my son who is about to be 18 in 3 months wants to join the Army, and he refuses to talk to my dad about it because my dad is trying to push my son into the Navy like he was. My son wants to go his own path, his father and I agree fully with him. I will never have a good relationship with my dad because of many past mistakes. I have not had an alcoholic drink since I was 21, I am 35 now. My kids are first, ALWAYS.

[@colinmckendrick9803]

classic country right here, another great one by Currington is good directions

[@sabastionluna3359]

I'm 18 now when I was around 9 my dad started drinking And when I see him I get scared I'm praying to God hoping he will realize that he will see I'm terrified that I'm thinking that I'd lose him in my life by the time I turned 10 he came to me and he said he promised he will stop drinking I noticed that he'd hadn't had a beer in his hand but just to make sure I went up to him and smelled his breath and it didn't smell like alcohol he kept his promis he made me cry tears of happiness and looking back how he used to be and seeing him today makes me happy and every day and night I get down on my knees praying to god thanking him for getting him to change his ways of being an alcoholic makes my life feel much more happy so if your mom or dad is an addict just pray to God every day and night asking him to change their ways of being an addict to start being sober and don't worry god will get them stop trust me god will always be there for you and them

[@marrisajameson5522]

FINALLY!

[@sarahsmith3148]

It is so great to hear someone talk about how they don't drink because of personal reasons. I live in a region of the country were drinking is a big part of the culture. People think I'm strange because I'm over 21 and don't drink. I have even been denied a place to live because I choose to be sober.

[@amandafox8603]

Yes! He did it lads!

[@wandahaines7143]

This is my Uncle. He was a functioning alcoholic. Monday through Friday and on the way home would stop and get his beer and his whiskey and stay drunk from Friday night until Sunday night. He was a wonderful man when he was sober and even when he was drunk he wasn't mean. Out of 11 uncles he was my favorite. He died of alcohol related disease. He left 4 children. The oldest was 11. His son never drank a drop, never did drugs and killed himself when he was 27 leaving 3 children of his own. We as parents have got to be aware of what we are teaching our children.

A man who doesn't cry when listening to this song is not a Man. It's not just about alcohol, or even drugs. It's about time, compassion, empathy, concern, welfare, leadership, guidance, and love.

[@lynettehazzard2682]

You are a very good man and you are setting the stage for your daughter on the man that she will choose. Mothers and fathers have such an impact on their children. If they see you doing things, they might end up doing that exact same thing or being with someone who is doing those things.

[@hamrad645]

Teaching your daughter by example is the best way! My son is 54 now, and he doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke. That's the best possible way to teach her a way of life. If you tell your daughter not to drink, and you drink yourself, -- that "Do as I say, not as I do" philosophy JUST DOESN'T WORK!

[@beckygould7509]

This always reminds me of a childhood friend of mine. His dad was a wonderful person, when he was sober. But he was an alcoholic and would turn into a total jerk when he drank. My friend was close to us dad and was often embarrassed by his dad’s behavior. My friend and my mom shielded me and I only seen him obviously drunk once, and that was enough. It broke my heart to know that my friend had to deal with this.

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

The most important lesson to learn about life is "it's not about you." It's similar to something a priest once told me about tragedy, "heaven is perfect. How are you going to know what that even means without bad. Moreover, tragedy for some else is an opportunity for you to do good to know what that feels like. Moreover, tragedy that happens to you may be a message,... but maybe the message isn't for you." Once you have kids, it's about them.

[@amberbradshaw1461]

The song is at the speed it's supposed to be

[@gianna01michelle]

I lived this song except for the leaving in the middle of the high school graduation ceremony part.

[@gianna01michelle]

My father's example is why I rarely drink I have had a bottle of alcohol bought for new year's last until the next new year's day if not that long almost as long. Also why the few times I do drink I will never get in the car and drive. I watched a man who was good enough to sometimes substitute drive for his friend who had a sprint dirt track racing car. Get so bad at driving it was scary. Finally since he would go to get the alcohol anyway. If I was able to I would drive him myself to know that he wouldn't be killing someone else or himself.
