Joe Nichols - An Old Friend Of Mine (With Intro)

[@selenakoehler5421]

I plan on showing my fiance this song he's an ex drug addict/alcoholic in current recovery he's had his struggles and had a few slip ups and but kept getting back up and trying to recover again he finally started getting the help that he needs when at first he wasn't trying as much to get help but now he's finally got the help that he needs and I've seen a huge change in him a change I had never seen in the past 3 years I've been with him I'm so proud of him and I pray God keeps giving my fiance the strength to stay strong through his recovery!

[@Ms1luvmusic]

Love songs like this...I can relate, I love to hear positive songs about recovery instead of glorifying drugs and alcohol...I was also givin a second chance by the Grace of God...Now Love to Help others "gotta give it away to keep it" so thanks Joe for sharing...means alot...God Bless!!

[@dylanawilson7765]

Saw him live two weeks ago and his vocals are phenomenal like this. You can tell his voice is getting older, but he's still got it!

[@danielmathieson106]

Saw Joe last night in Streator ,IL and he does a special that if you buy a shirt or hat or CD you get a picture with him after the show. Being 18 years sober myself when I met him I had a camel sobriety coin and I handed to him saying here’s something for your pocket from A old friend of mine! He fist pumped I tapped him on the chest and said something like we’re with ya! Kinda had that moment that two recovering people have when they meet . Great concert ,Great Person!

[@eddiewurtz-bt5dt]

Been sober now for over 6 years, thanks for the inspiring song joe.

[@bridgettejohnson89]

I wish my baby brother could of been saved but he was no so rip Mitchell love you brother 28 yr died from alcoholism

[@Truckman1980]

This guy's voice is absolutely incredible! He can outsing so many that made it bigger than him!

[@Scottsangel73]

Its sad and powerful because an addiction is powerful..... I quit smoking cigs after 23 years and trust me; it's hard to say goodbye to "ol' faithful nic" when you are stressed out.

[@hassome11]

One of the gentlemen that wrote this song died today prayers to his family

[@dianelampton6526]

I dedicate this song to two of the most beautiful strongest people I've ever known I admire them and love them so so much

[@erinemmalilly]

great song! congrats to Joe on his sobriety. such a classic voice!

[@5150teacher]

This song is the story of my life. I have struggled with addiction most of my life, and was finally able to get sober about a year and a half ago. It has only been through support of my family and friends, who stuck by me through a whole lot of BS, that I have been able to stay sober. I still struggle daily with the draw from alcohol, but I live through those struggles day to day. It is the only way I've been able to be successful at living sober... Good luck to those still struggling!

[@williamdiergaardt4897]

Ive been on KZbin for years now but never have i commented on a video no matter how much i like it.. I listen to all genre's of music but this guy will always top my list.. I really the world can hear him and the music he makes.. He is so good!!!

[@jessegrd071163]

Joe has a good voice. This is a sad song, but life gives us surprises. We have to keep praying to God for the well being of everyone.

[@lindawall6504]

Having several friends who are and have struggled with addiction. Some conquered their battle and while others lost their battle. This song has such a powerful message in so many areas. Thank You for sharing this song for the victims, for the survivers, for the ones on the sidelines and the ones left behind.

[@alicelelean5867]

Well done Joe so proud of you dude, stay dry, stay clean, stay safe, God bless.

[@JoeLouis6624]

R.I.P. Paw paw 4-20-1949 1-22-2007 You were the best in the world there will never be another like you.. I love you.

[@____aiden______5833]

This song gives me chills.Its so sad but the truth.My son is battling addiction right now.I wish he could just lay it down.But i know it won be easy.My Heart Hurts For Him!!!

[@veravajr]

You do such a good job on this song. Almost like you lived it.

[@gerryrussell1201]

Good for you joe ! Your strength gives us all hope and strength !! . Those of us how say they have no demons or weakness are either blessed or are lying or denying the truth !!

[@TheJustin3849]

im glad theres still country artist like this

[@fredwood420]

Wow what can I say about that, except I listened to it over and over again, and it got better each time. He is so smooth. I hope he keeps signing. He has no competition in today's country. George has pretty much retired, Alan has slowed down, so it's your turn Joe. You've always been off the top shelf.

[@susanmoreal7562]

Joe's songs so heart felt. I adore him

[@ritarosidy6259]

😢❤😊😻great Joe makes me crying this song😢

[@ronaldfelton262]

thanks for such a moving song brother

[@82kurki]

such an amazing and powerfull song. probably one the most beautifully written songs ever! right on Joe.

[@parabola2288]

man he's got one of those voices that take me back to good country music. Merle, Waylon, Conway, and Conlee. Some of his songs are not that good but overall he's one of the few i think still see how country should be

[@teresadressel869]

i was a heavy drinker for about 10 years or so. one day i just stopped i was overweight, and alcohol is fattening. i just got lucky-no dts no struggle at all. yes i did take off weight-60lbs in about 2 years. i still have a drink if we go out to eat-but only one. no dui for me--too expensive. best of all no more heartburn. now if i could just stop smoking.

[@garyshaw3112]

Great job I love this song

[@scottcolburn73]

This is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard and I am pleased to know one of it's writers. Awesome Job Joe.

[@5150teacher]

@katbluehouse I hope since this message is coming 5 months after your comment that you have found some peace and solace. I hope for your sake that you have also been able to embrace sobriety. I struggle with it daily, as you said you do, but living one day at a time, and one sober minute to the next is the only way I've been able to be successful at it. Good luck with your battle, and remember, there are those around you going through the same struggle, don't be afraid to reach out for help!

[@staceyhamilton1097]

2 months alcohol free after 10 years of heavy drinking
