[@haleybourinot2765]

My kids father relapsed, we have a 3 year old son and 3 month old daughter…it’s so hard seeing him struggle and choosing the drugs and the streets over his babies. This song really hits home for me and Im 3 years into my recovery ❤️

This guy has such a great heart. I like the fact that he is so humble. I wish you much success. Stay clean my brother. I'm rooting for you.

[@MassageSamurai1]

So grateful to hear his story after having his music on repeat for a couple months straight. I'm definitely still an addict so I haven't made it out but I still very much love Avs music after losing friends to drunk car accidents and suicide etc. It really helps me feel like I'm not alone in this.

[@amandadalton1869]

I can’t scroll on TT without literally seeing ppl stories hundreds of times. I loooove it

[@KelseyPeralta-ym6dw]

[@Drik81b4u]

I can't stop listening... Thank you

[@taylorwaugh2675]

I am just hearing honestav for the first time and I am so impressed!

[@chitinaak]

HonestAv is good at everything he does. His skits are very funny, he has a great personality, great songwriting skills and delivery. He also just proved he’s great at interviews.Glad I found his Tik Tok❤

[@glendaletteney2244]

what a sweetheart.I really like his music

[@TTsStorytime702]

My dad passed away from liver cancer, caused by opiate abuse. Outsiders would never know us kids knew my mom knew. We watched him pass away slowly and still take those pills. That part about the pills hits so hard. My dad was a good man and he passed at 63. We miss you dad.

[@jasonsawyer890]

Same thing happened to my pops. And yet, here I am shooting dope to this day

[@jasonsawyer890]

I can't stop, I won't stop, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired

[@jamiejackson281]

@HonestAV every time I need a sign or a push in life, your videos pop up. Thank you for all you do for us. We are very thankful for your songs and stories. With love ❤️

[@Amy531982]

As an addict/alcoholic, I can’t listen to this song without crying, no matter how many times I hear it. Great song. I have seven years sober. Find sobriety your way, spread the love and understanding, and take as many people with you as you can 🖤

[@Beezlebub361]

I love Av and I LOVE that he named off mac, cobain and sleepy hallow! I’m so glad I found this video 💜 honestav has saved me so much

[@thejournalsofawakening]

Big Love HONESTAV. Your music is inspiring. Love your style my dude.

[@thatelectritian]

I've had a legit breakdown not because of the music but the music was my therapy through the breakdown... Legit screaming like a lunatic the same way you recorded your song... So much inspiration... Love you bro ❤

[@therealsirdj5934]

I liked his music before, after this interview I fucking love the dude. He truely ist honest, and that's something I can apriciate and respect. Hope I'll hear this dude over here on German radio one day, he deserves it... Bro honestav and Cobain would be a great collab

[@mostly_insane2291]

I’ve been lucky that no one in my sphere of family and friends are going through this. But Honestav’s performance is so well… honest that I can feel that I can relate. I wish all the best for him. And I feel for any of you out there dealing with addiction. Stay strong and please don’t quit quitting. Rely on family and friends to keep you up.

[@tylerhays2174]

So proud of you and your success keep going….we’re all here for it!!!!!!🔥💯

[@MassageSamurai1]

Man I know it may never happen but I'd love to see Av live in Portland OR, would be my first show since I was like 22 years old. Since I was a kid.

[@xxLOSERxBABYxx]

I am really routing for Av ! I can not wait to see him on tour and all the big things God has in store for me in the future

[@dreizhenren]

This song really hits. I overcame my battle a long time ago. But not everyone I knew did. It was a stark reminder of that. A great song, through and through

[@sarahhkcu]

Crying the entire podcast 😭

[@AndrewRiffle-pz9wt]

I love to see guys like this get there flowers

[@RSSpec]

Thank you Magen and KROQ for introducing many of us to Honestav for the first time. He hits home for so many of us…. Seeing everyone’s comments is as important as his music!

The people in the middle; we need a voice and im so happy to have @honestav be that voice

[@michellejessup6618]

[@esk2g]

If the love of our children was enough to get clean everyone would do it. Just know it wasn’t ever about you. It was his demons and couldn’t overcome. He loves you I’m sure. Prayers.
