This song is from the addicts perspective to a loved one who doesn't quite understand addiction. Hopefully it can help someone out there who might be struggling. Song written by Joe Nester and produced by Brinson Swann.

Beautiful Song! Addiction just took my husband, 2 weeks ago, he was 68. I hadn't even seen him for almost a year. It is an illness and is alive and well everywhere, any age. I appreciate talented people that focus on mental illnesses for my own personal reasons. Thank you.

@@joenester9984 Thank you, but I am sorry for his loss, and for my sons who are left with feelings of guilt from, for good reasons I might add, having had to end up cutting him out of their lives at different points during the last three years. So sad, nobody wins, addiction takes down entire families. Spreads like wildfire and left having to rebuild all their success that once made their dad so proud full of all the "what ifs" and "if onlys" that live in the ashes of the living left behind.

I will be praying for you. As I have lost many to this disease of addiction myself, I was once an addict myself but Jesus Christ healed me and broke those chains. I will most definitely keep you in my prayers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Why would you have “ story of an addict” playing at your funeral? Is that all you want to be remembered for is drugs? Do you want your grandma and grandpa knowing about your drug problems? Do you get off on people feeling sorry for you and your struggles? Why are you planning your funeral? Why not have a song of victory? Why not overcome?

God truly does raise the dead. When bodybuilders lift weights, they tear the muscles so they grow back stronger. at first it hurts, but after you recover, your muscles are bigger than they were before.… same thing with withdrawals, same thing with addiction… every day that you’re clean, you are one step closer to freedom

Wow, this song really hits close to home. I was in active addiction and went to treatment in Hamilton, Ontario for 6 weeks and once I was done and went back home both my husband and I were clean for 9 months and then I had a little relapse but got myself together and stopped again but then my son's were taken from me by Children's Aid Society but not because of drugs, it was because a nosy neighbor kept calling 911 when she heard my husband and I arguing. They said it was emotional and mental abuse to the kids. ..then both my husband and I I moved and we got clean. But on March 31st 2019 my husband passed away due to cardiac arrest due to pneumonia. I thank God and your music that I didn't relapse then, I'm now 7 years clean and my youngest son found me on Facebook and we were reunited after not being with him and his older brother for 10 years This song is amazing and very powerful. Keep your music going it's definitely helping not only myself but many others out here. Love the songs you are absolutely amazing!!!

I have been an addict. I've been homeless for 15 years.. I had no sense of being needed somewhere or wanted anywhere ... Till about 2 weeks ago. I woke up one morning. Was on my way to the dispensary with not enough money... Someone stop me and gave me a little bit extra cash I asked them if they needed help working on a job site and I have been here ever since I have a place to sleep I have money in my pocket. The things that I do for this the company are important enough to be needed.... All because I asked my higher power the day before and the day of meeting my boss..... For the ones who are still out there, please don't give up ever.....

I couldn’t find the lyrics anywhere so here you go… I know it broke your heart the day I started using drugs I’m sorry that your love for me was never quite enough I’m sorry that I ran away when things were getting tough But lemme clarify this for the ones who feel the need to judge You ever loved something so much you gotta have it So you use it everyday till you start to form a habit Then before you knew what happened you were suddenly an addict That just wasted half their life and every dream they had was shattered And now your feeling hopeless and your broken and your battered Cause the dope you been chasing is the only thing that mattered You’ve tried to break the cycle and you’ve tried to break the pattern But the hole you dug yourself is way to deep without a ladder I wish that I could take it back Wish that I could take the pain Wish that I could get on track Wish I wasn’t so ashamed Need to just accept the fact that I’m the only one to blame And straighten up my act so I can go ahead and make a change I’m sorry that I let you down I’m sorry you don’t understand Even if I never make it out I’ll love you to the very end Well I just checked into this treatment and I’m hoping dead that I last longer then the weekend It’s usually the time it takes for me to wanna leave And every fiber in my being says to play with all my demons So give me something different give me something to believe in I’ve surrendered and accepted I’m defeated and I’m beaten But no one ever told me it’s the secrets I’ve been keeping As I sit alone and isolate I barely speak at meeting cause my heart is full of hurt and hate How could anyone relate? No one really cares about me I should go and hibernate Somewhere by myself where I can constantly replay the tape Of how I messed it up again and it’s probably to late I have a therapist that says I need to open up But really I’m embarrassed so I tell them that they know enough Until I get the strength to share I’ll keep on showing up And praying that I change I guess it’s all a part of growing up I’m sorry that I let you down I’m sorry you don’t understand Even if I never make it out I’ll love you to the very end But now the days are passing by and I’m still going strong And it’s been years since I got high I guess I’m moving on I finally got it right but not before I got it wrong I wish the same for all my friends but most of them are dead and gone I have a family now and even got a couple kids But I don’t hide my past or all the crazy things I did I share it openly and try to raise awareness of the dangers of addiction When you’re young and you are careless cause it could be your family be your friends or be the rest of em It could be a stranger passing by you see as just a bum But if it happens don’t you dare think any less of ‘em I’m here the let you know sometimes it happens to the best of em

I so relate to this.i been trying find a way to explain my addiction to my mom and tell her I'm sorry for being an addict cause it's not her fault but she tells me day in and day out she thinks I'm one cause of her. And that's not the case this song helped me I love it
