Tom, I'm 33 years old and have never really been a music person. Friday night I was watching videos on youtube on my TV and a got a mid video ad that popped up.....it was THIS video. Usually I skip through the ads or video features that pop up but I managed to sit for an entire 3 minutes captivated by what I was watching. The next 3 hours I spent binge watching your work. I have no idea how I have not heard of you before......you are amazing.

[@adiadi5832]

same here...50 years old fart on binge watching tom

Such an amazing artist

[@Banana2oo8]

Coming from someone who’s about to hit 7 years sober, this is incredible. Good job. Edit to add: Wow. The support is incredible. Thank you all so much for the love. It means more than I can even say. And, to answer the most frequently asked question, my sober birthday is September 20! I worked my ass off to get where I am and am proud of that. To those out there still struggling: keep fighting. It’s worth every tear, I promise.

My husband made it. Thank God 🙏. He got clean not long before we met.. and I needed him, so bad. He’s such a good man. We’ve been together 9yrs, married 7, and have 2 beautiful kids. ❤To anyone struggling. You can make it. Because there’s a beautiful life waiting for you.

[@jakeschuman4196]

I'm 32 months sober. It took multiple trys. I had 2 alcohol induced seizures from the withdrawals. It was by far the hardest thing I ever battled through. Since being sober. I found myself a beautiful woman that I married too. Became a homeowner and we had our first child together 7 months ago. My beautiful wife and beautiful daughter named Willow and son Wyatt are the reasons I keep going everyday. Prayers to all of you struggling. The struggle really never goes away. It just becomes maintainable. Stay strong. Much love ❤️

[@zk6754]

Same…I’m scared but my life…my love is wrestling. So much wrestling has helped. Eddie Guerrero is an inspiration. Hearing Kevin Nash’s words about his son. My aunt saying I’ve seen people die before 40 from alcohol. Waking up asking God please help me. I’m trying so hard to phase alcohol out of my life. Last night was ROUGH. Every fiber of me was say drink up. But my soul was saying no! This song is helping too…rather ironic considering Tom was a wrestler.

[@robyn220]

Keep it up! I too am sober finally. I had a 23 year long gnarly Opiate addiction. Which began at 14 with My father feeding me prescription pain pills. I got sober at 37. I am now just over a year fully clean and sober. And I still am in a program and I go to my outpatient clinic 4x a week still! I started at 7 days a week. Very slowly allowed for tiny bits of more freedom. I think I’ll work a program of one kind or another for the rest of my life. Which is overwhelming at times to think too deeply about. But considering the absolute hell I survived in for the first half of my life this should be looked at as a blessing not a curse. It saved my life. I was praying every single night to not wake up the next day. I wanted to die I had become so depressed and trapped. But now my life is slowly getting better and better. I just wanted to tell you I know your pain. I understand the struggle. As well as the blessings That all come at you at once when you change your life and stop using and have to face everything head on that u have avoided or swept under the rug for so long. It sounds like your on an amazing path now! ❤

[@ZanderX85]

Jake, My daughter wants to say thank you to Tom for helping my daddy 😢 hardest war ever! Coming from a marine that was shot.. Getting “call me names” tattooed on my back. It’s fuel to my fire!

Being alone will become your comfort zone. I know this comment is very late but I just recently found your music and it is great. Came across this song today and just felt a need to reach out. I don't know how long you have been sober but you keep going. I love you, your fans love you. Continue to speak truth, there are so many who need to hear it. This song will turn people around. I know it. This will make people believe and let them know they are not alone. THANK YOU!!!

[@zk6754]

I drink because of work. How I really wanna put this kid on his back. I hate my morning job. Today was pushing 30 hours no sleep. Morning job didn’t help at all. I hate calling in. Night job is ironically a liquor store. I’m really trying to stop drinking. I feel like I’m fighting for my life. The people at the liquor store have been nothing but kind to me & for that I can’t thank them enough. A coworker at the liquor store is a worse drinker than me. I’d like to help him stop but I know he won’t.

For anyone still struggling, you can do it! Me and my husband used pills, heroin and cocaine together for over 7 years, lost everything we had, were homeless, in debt, in and out of jail. We are now still together, married, have 3 beautiful kids, own our own home and have everything we could want and need. We made it out together and have been sober for over 7 years! It can be done if you want it bad enough! And you can change your life around completely. Even if it seems hopeless and like you'll never get back to a normal life, you can!

I really wish I had this song while I was quitting opiates cold turkey 10yrs ago Listening to this vividly brings me back to those two weeks of nightmare withdrawls, mental breakdown, and massive anxiety. Just seeing him hunched over attacking the bed was me everyday during that period.... But the weird thing is, those memories now fill me with joy I made that leap. It's truly hard to quit whatever your addiction is, especially when it comes with massive physical and mental withdrawls. Just know you can be free of the mental slavery addiction inflicts on you. But you and you alone have to want it. Period. Just know you are not alone and it takes love and support from those that care about you, don't turn them away. I know if it wasn't for my wife's full support (girlfriend at the time and crazy for sticking with me thru it) I don't know how far I would of gotten. But I'm damn happy I did.
