I’m so sorry I know it feels I lost everything but I’m free and now trying to be a good role model for my son. I’ll keep you in my prayers tonight when I pray to Jesus and the Holy Ghost. 🙏
I am sorry for your loss I lost my older brother to addiction. I lost my friend to addiction on Saint Patrick's day at 30 Lost another friend to addiction a yr after he graduated Lost another friend a little after his mom died
“Deleting all the numbers from your phone”is one of the hardest things to do. You have to fully let go of your past to be able to start a new beginning. Love the new song!!
“Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be...” -Alan Watts 🖤🖤🖤
Truth.
I did this when I was 18 and changed my number to get away from a bad group of friends. It was hella hard, but helped.
I’ve been there…. The shitty part, is when you realize they still have your number, and don’t even try to call. That’s when you know.
Fucking FACTS.
21 of Feb this year I will be 5 years sober. No song has ever, EVER, reached my heart like this. Man, you just get it. That is all I can say. You just get it.
Congratulations on your Sobriety !!! It's never easy, but it's worth it . See, nothing worth it is ever easy, but the Sobriety IS WORTH IT.
@@chrisrojice7475 Thanks buddy :) It turns out it is quite easy when you have a reason. At least in my experience.
I just discovered Tom Macdonald. Im 50 been clean 6 months on 2/16/24. I Thank God for Tom Macdonald. I had my first real craving today. When i thought about throwing those 180 days away. I thought of "Best Rapper Ever." It's amazing how a guy so young can be so "Wise Beyond his Years." Thank you again
My Son was an addict. This cuts straight to the bone. All my fears. He’s clean, married, has a daughter, steady job…we’re blessed. So are you! Thank you!!
Same here Jema.. Very blessed
Being a proud parent hits in many different ways doesn't it... they did it bc they have amazing people like you in their lives to support that hardship 😃
Same here.
Same here
Congrats to your son. He deserves all of the happiness in the world. He's seen hell and walked out of it!
The genius about tom's work is that he scratches at wounds almost everyone has, in one version or another.
kzhead.info/sun/gpeLl86ghZeponA/bejne.html
Just like Em was the one who told it like it was, here is Tom doing the same. Every generation needs this. You snowflakes have Tom now. Listen carefully, because you're the reason, and the ones who can change it. Stop with the hate and the cancel culture and the me me me bullshit, and focus on the real problem. We are losing our country to people who have no business being here, that should be priority NO. 1
@@thishandleisnotavailable get off the internet gramps
listen to Ryan upchurch - Nutshell. Now that’s a solid song about addiction the realest! You won’t regret. And the original one of the greatest songs of all time no doubt check it out for yourself!!!!
@@steadytime dont bring country into this....
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 ❤️
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.
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! ❤
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!
@RobynR I'm dealing with that now. Thank you for your words
Brother, good for you! I meen it!! I know exactly how it is. It's amazing how much can be gained back in a short amount of time. Love you man!
Tom, I have been clean for 23 years. I know your struggle and you will have good days and bad days but eventually the good ones will be more than the bad. It gets better it gets easier. 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!!!
This song will save another life. Tom will never know how many people he’s rescued with his music.
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM Dump that shit homie. You don't need it. Stay strong. We got your back.
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM stay strong brother. Proud of you.
It saved me
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM its worth it, flush it now and you'll build on your strength. Your tomorrow self will thank your today self.
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM stay strong my friend. I ran into that same scenario once. Flush the opiates right away and ifnyou need something stronger than ibuprofen head to a pharmacist and ask them to prescribe you behind the counter grade naproxens
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.
same here...50 years old fart on binge watching tom
47 and I did the same when I first discovered him.
Welcome to the Tom rabbit hole
you are delusional
Such an amazing artist
Your music has straight up been on repeat for me.. it's helping me stay sober. I made it 59 days. 🥰
keep at it , you wont regret it
Keep up the fight!
How are you doing Sarah? I'd like to pray for you if that's okay? Getting sober is hard and we are all rooting for you.
Prayers
Great job keep up the great work.
My mom died of an overdose almost one year ago and my dad has been sober over 2 years now. One beat addiction, one didnt. With my mom being gone it’s hard but I love that songs like this help to see the perspective and heart of someone who struggles with addiction. Tom music like this is ministry. It’s therapy. God had a plan and purpose for your life!

So proud of and happy for you ❤💓
Congratulations. What an amazing accomplishment
Why does everyone count the days from when you got clean. I am proud of anyone who can get clean it is the hardest thing I ever did but honestly I don't remember the day I changed and I really don't want to Why because the person I was when I was addicted is not the person I am now.
Was an alcoholic for a long time, and when I quit drinking, I lost most of my "friends." It was hard, but now I'm happy and see things for what they are. Thanks for what you do.
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.
You got a friend in me!
I prayed this morning, not for sobriety but for a new tool to help me with my sobriety. I searched the same thing I search everyday before running and this song popped up. God is real. 🙏 I’d never heard of this man before today.
Stay strong. Watch JJ Grey - This River, it may help you as well. Keep up the good fight.
God gives us strength everyday. We just need to open our hearts and minds
Stick with Tom. Not all his stuff will be helpful to your sobriety, some will just make you laugh.
Tom is a genre-defying artist. He’s in a league of his own.
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear si
This song makes me think “what if” What if Tom wasn’t as strong as he is. We would never have known him and his music/art. I am so thankful he is with us everyday. Love to Tom and all of the #HOG FAM4life❤️ …and for all of their lives still lived.
Hard to have a genre when he hits all if them
He sure is
Umm.. you mean his Disney-sing-along choruses coupled with some rap... soo dynamic.. 😂
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.
🙏
Beyond proud of you. I’ll be there one day
Congratulations
❤😘
Congrats sam🙏🖤
Hey Tom. I’m 35. I have an issue I’m trying to control and this song spoke to me like nothing ever in my life. Thank you so much for this. You really helped me. I wish you the best. You’re amazing
Dear Tom, I just got out of rehab today the 11th of September. We were fortunate to have group music therapy and Sober and Withdrawals brought almost 24 people in recovery, to tears. They learned about you and a whole lot about themselves! Thank you.
As an addict in recovery this song hits so close to home. Every word he spoke I went through. Tom thank you so damn much for giving us a voice and making everyone aware of the struggles of being an addict. I'll have 30 months on the 25th this month!!!
I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good fight!
I've got 7 years sober. Keep it up brother. Battle those demons, recovery is possible 🙏🏼
Full support
Congratulations my brother in recovery it’s a hell of a fight September 18th will be 9 years for me keep up the fight my brother
Amazing! Keep at it. You have got this! God bless you.
If you don’t know what this feels like be glad, and have compassion for those who have.
Amen!
Amen
I will always see someone who has made it through the darkness and come out the other side better for it as stronger than myself because I've never gone through that darkness.
🙏
@@klodabear3932 I pray you never know the feeling. It has been 12 years for me and I still have to fight the demons on a daily basis. Thank you for your support for those of us who do have that monkey on our back.
Today is day 16 no alcohol for me. This song has become my gospel. Listen every day multiple times. Reminds me I’m not alone and I can come out on the other side. But some moments are hard. So glad I found this song.
you got this
Fuck man I needed to find this song today... sat here shivering but also covered in sweat. listening to this gives me just the right amount of strength I need to carry on, stay strong brothers
Stay strong. You control the demons, never forget that. Look up JJ Grey - This River. It might not be your type of music but please watch the entire video and listen carefully to the lyrics. Best of luck to you!
Literally me today for like the first time. Was scary as fuck
I try man but I can't I just cant I look happy in my vids but thats hard to do is be happy.
U can do it brother trust me If a looser like me got away from withdrawals in a week of going colf turkey Than so can YOU my brother🔥💓, i am with u no matter what keep going need help im here,🥳
I hope you are doing good ❤
As a man in a life of recovery, it never ends, but we fight, and claim strength from God to never look down.. Never. Look. Down. Our chins are held high, tears may fall, but our chins remain high.
Words of wisdom, Jack, thank you!
Well said!
Thank you. I needed that. Powerful. Tears may fall but chin up!!
Addiction is gradual until it’s sudden! Several attempts later, and coming up on 14 years sober. If I can you can, one second at a time becomes one minute become a day become a week a month a year but the fight is always right now! I know my tigers are in the tall grass following along and staying low to the ground. Every second I watch and defend my ground as if my life depends on it, because it does! God bless all those in the fight, the weapons to defend come from our father in heaven. If you doubt this, how have your weapons worked so far? Just saying I’ve learned what works and God knows I’ve tried what doesn’t. If he created you, surely he can defend you. You have only to ask him.
All of us that are addicts will be addicts our entire lives. Once we forgive ourselves for that, and acknowledge it, we can really stay sober imo.
As a recovering addict, this song is definitely staying close to me. When he said he tried to call his friends, but none are answering, that hit the most. Stay strong, Tom
the tattooed names usually represent someone who died . i wonder if that's the case in this video
Yes our so-called friends only want to know us when we are parting...bad times they could not care abit ....sad but true.
"I just sit in the bathtub and try to breath." for me.
Hello. I'm sorry for the comment. I am a student and I make some vids to help you have a good time and distract you a little from day to day, also with the hope that this helping me a little to pay for my studies. I would really appreciate it if you spend a couple of minutes seeing and enjoying my work. Thanks for your time good people.
Hello #johnnyx100
New or old songs, ya never get old Tom and Nova. Love you folks and please no matter what, please keep going, we need you!
Yall wanna know what drugs does to ppl and how hard it is to get clean listen to this song. 2 years I was doing coke and pills drinking every day FOR 6 MONTHS still I asked God for help. A couple day's later i was feeling down and did a lil line that night he sent me in the back of an ambulance and I was saved. Drugs aren't cool at all. I should be dead but by God's grace I'm alive and I thank him everyday.
Coke and pills bro, I was doing 6 grams of fetty powder a day man. That's a withdrawal. For the first time since I was 14 I'm truly SOBER AND SOLID INN'IT! Got 36 days, WOOOOT 🎉
Cried throughout this. I lost a good friend to alcoholism, he died in pain. We all have our addictions, some worse than others.. Everyone can relate to this song, either by experience or vicariously through a loved one. Rise up.
Agreed. 😖
He has a few songs that beat me up inside this one hit hard. Struggling with a "functional alcoholic" addiction for 19 years now. Seems I quit for a few days and soon as I buy a bottle and drink the next song on my play list is sober. Crazy. I made it 14 days and just replasped yesterday I hope I can start over again today 😭
Musicians create. Entertainers perform. Legends inspire.
Wow, can I borrow this? Love that phrase. Thank you.
*Taking place during Batman's early days, this summer watch part 1&2 of "The Long Halloween"!*
61 yrs old lol wow !!! Born in 61 ..got introduced to recovery at 24 ....last drink and drug at 29...sober over half my life ...sure hasn't been easy all the time but it has been doable.😚. Wish this stuff was around 30 some yrs ago.
❤️ 💙 💜
I’ve never seen or heard anyone be this honest and vulnerable. Takes huge courage. Just when I thought I could love you anymore❤ my hero.
The best thing about Tom is that even though he's got money and fame, regular everyday people can still relate and connect with him. 💯
@@nielsbiemond1368 I never said that.
NF has the same effect. Love them both.
@@nielsbiemond1368 Fair enough. If you haven't struggled, KUDOS to you! I feel like even those who have not struggled with addiction, per say, … themselves, I imagine that they have still known someone who's struggled or struggles with addiction.

The last time i watched your videos i was attempting to get sober. And now here i stand, sober for a year. It gets harder before it gets better. But it does get so. Much. Better.
I love his stuff man I'm a recovering alcoholic who is 82 days in and man I'm blessed but this music get me through
Sometimes KZhead comment sections are hilarious and sometimes it will piss you off. But every once in a while it will restore your faith in humanity from the outpouring of support and positivity. This is one of those times.
I was absolutely thinking about the same thing ! Wow, well said my friend ❤️❤️❤️
m.kzhead.info/sun/dKtyoMuvsIiIlKs/bejne.html
I just said basically the exact same thing to my husband earlier today I played the song constantly ever since it came out but as I listen to the song I read the outpouring of love Give Me Faith in humanity still as well
We have less than a day to get this video to three million views. Actually less than sixteen hours from now. We need to keep pushing, watch it atleast 5 times from each device you have just on KZhead alone 💕
I've battled addiction most of my life, being clean for the last 14 years my life has transformed into something completely different. I felt this video more than most at my core. Thanks for that.
Congrats, I’m right behind you at 13 years. I’ve worked hard to bring myself back. Got a good job beautiful wife that has battled it with me, 20 years married, and 4 amazing kids!! Life is good and I’ll never go back!!

Hey tom, just wanted to let you know I called my doctor today to start rehab and it's all because of u my friend. 3 week detox and I'm gonna fight after as well...thank you
hell ya, you stay strong and you can do it!
Good for you!! You’ve got this!

detox for 3 weeks? i think you mean 3 days bro lol, More than 85% of addicts will relapse within their first year of treatment don't be that guy, don't fool yourself either getting on suboxone start with the vivitrol shot
Hope youre rocking it! ❤
Actually cried watching this, recovery feels like drowning and not being able to see your reflection clearly, like you're just a broken mess. This hit hard at home Tom, keep it coming, thanks for reminding me I'm not alone in this.

18 years addicted too meth and opiates, 4 hospital stays, 3 times in psych ward and I now have almost 5 years of sobriety. It made me cry also bro, much love and hang in there it gets better. ❤❤
I've been clean for years and this brought tears to my eyes.... life's just hurtful. I'm a Christian today. That was a bright light once I bent my knees. Had hope. Hope wasn't there before.

I stood by 8 years watching my daughter destroy herself and everyone around her to addiction. She OD on fent on Jan 23. It's only been 4 weeks but it feels like an eternity. Please if you are an addict get help you're loved. Your family will be in the worst pits of despair if they lose you. I miss her so much that it hurts to breathe. I really wish no parent would ha e to ever feel this pain. I tried to get her to listen to your music Tom to find a force of hope, sadly, the drugs had taken ounce of hooe ahe had. Thank you for making the songs that touch on the realities of life. ❤
I'm sorry to hear that I'll be praying for you I know my mother has shed many years because if my addiction stay strong love from Tennessee
God that song hits home. Im currently trying to stay clean, I've been a heroin addict for over 20 years, we don't really have access to anything where I live, except for the drug's i need. Hearing someone has beat their addiction makes me so happy, I'm not sure I'll make it, I've lost friends to od's but most to suicide, to quote NF, suicide thoughts come and go like a guest to me, but I don't want to die, I just wanna get relief. Keep making your music, it's the medicine you need, stay clean and stay strong brother ❤❤❤❤❤
Being a light to those in the dark is more important than being number 1. You have no idea how important this song was to me yesterday when I almost threw away over 300 days of sobriety. You are making an important impact in this world. Please know you helped me stay strong 💖 thank you so much
Stay strong...You've got this 🙏
❤️ Hugs
Stay strong! You've got people who don't know you, like me, rooting for you! Stay strong! 💪🙏
Wishes for strength for you from France Megan!
So happy you didn't relapse! Hope you see how strong you are. 💪 Greetings from Finland. 🇫🇮
I remember before my grandpa passed away and I talked to him about my depression and wanting to give up and he told me “a warrior drops to knee and sheds a tear before picking up the sword and continue fighting”. Being 13 I didn’t really understand so he broke it down: it’s okay to feel depressed and hopeless and like nothing will get better but don’t let those feelings stop you, shed the tears you need to be able to stand up and continue fighting for the life you want and the life that’ll make you happy and proud. Your not alone Tom and never will be cause we, the hang over gang, will always have your back ❤️ you can do this Tom stay strong!
Better than Tom. kzhead.info_t6nMZIzIW8?feature=share

"I Tried to call all my friends, but none of them are answering" getting clean is when you find out who your real friends are and which are users and enablers.

God is good.
Three and a half months off alcohol after 19 years. Had one friend stay by me the whole time. She got in her car one day and just drove around with me for close to 5 hours at 5 in the morning cuz i needed her. Thank you so much winnie ill always do anything for you

I quit morphine 7 years ago. Toughest thing i ever went through. Even now, if someone offers me pain killers i want it so bad, but i stay strong. I appreciate Tom for making this song, withdrawals were so hard to go through. I was alone. But i made it through. Stay strong all you addicts. I did it, you can too.
Thank you
Stay strong man
Yikes morphine, that shit is extreme. Been going around for 500 years or so
Its the same but worse for me you'll see it somewhere at the top or at least for now.
Currently on Suboxone, and I'm afraid cause I know what withdrawal does to a person
Your music is getting me prepared for my first detox from alcohol thank you
How'd it go? Just hit 3 and half months sober
From an addict who has been through countless nights without sleep, and too many days spent in hell.. thank you Tom for reminding us that we are not alone, and giving this family another reason to stick together.
Amen brother his word hit home
Been there, done that, pray to God that I get another day clean. Been 37 years so far. I thank God he puts people like Tom out there to continue to inspire us and give us hope!
The reaction to Tom proves that there is still a appreciation for brilliance in this dumbed down world. Thank you Tom
The "dumbed down" have always been fewer..just louder. Mr Tom will not be quiet though! lol

Day 49 sober. Started this shit when I was 19. Been fighting it ever since. I'm 31 years old.
Hope today is day 50.
@revious8971 it's 54! Thank You :)
Congratulations!
Omg your comment popped this up in my notifications! I'm almost 1 year clean!! :) :)
6 years sober from Meth and Heroin... My mom was killed by fentanyl January 13th 2023.... Every day I'm grateful to my friends and family that never gave up on me, and especially to the big man upstairs for giving me the strength and wisdom to change my life for the better.
Praying for you Tom. My son drank to fight depression. He lost his fight with depression April 4, 2014. Live ! Just live. You are so needed in this world.
Dear Sweet Mom of this precious son you described, my heart goes out to you and hope you will have every day in peace and joy even thought some days you must miss your child more than words can describe. Sending you much love, hope it helps a little that there are folks out in this world who care about you and your journey.
I’m so sorry
Thank you for sharing. Prayer is so powerful. I lost my brother to the same battle. I've learned so much since then, their legacy is not wasted in the people we walk with, who's loved ones are still alive.
I'm sure that sorry doesn't help much, but it's all some have to offer. 😥 If it helps you , know that so many of us teach our children with stories like yours. And we won't stop. And that helps at least one person, if not so many more. ❤

“Tryin’ to stay clean, I just really need a reason” Hits hard
Make God your reason give thanks to him that you are still here to change who you are
Bruh... Same, literally started crying. Im currently on my withdrawals tho..
Bro you are the reason man you got this just push yourself
@@Oscarr_Official I know the feeling , too well. Sending my regards
@@Oscarr_Official Hang in there,,
33-year-old white male. And recovering heroin addict. I have been clean almost 5 years. But just to hear this song reminds me that I can trade in this new life I have to go back and be miserable any fucking time I want. Thank you Tom for keeping it clear to me that I don't want to feel like that again. American Canadian. You are one of the greats my dude. People can say what they want but to do it without a label, manager, anybody but your girl. You fucking did it though. And that's truly a fucking inspiration brother. Thank you for sending a message to the people who need to hear it most. Whether they want to listen or not they only get mad because they know what you say is true. Keep shining brother.
I learned after getting clean. "Friends" aint really "friends" when ya walk a different path. Im glad to get away from the drugs. Now have friends i consider family. And another family in hog fam. Forever grateful for another day.
I’m a recovering addict, and I fucking made it.
Amen!
Yes!
Proud of you!
Congrats :) keep it up

Having lost a lifelong friend to alcohol, and being with him to the end, this hits hard brother.
But the real question, how is Sam Axes drinking problem that man loves his Mojitos. Sorry I had to. Love the name and picture haha.
My brother in law, someone I consider to a brother to me than my own brother, he drank himself to death too.. it killed me when he died.. i also had a good friend that I helped to get clean, and after Hurricane Katrina, he went back to drugs and OD. I think I cried for a month.. this song says and proves, your true friends will b there for u when u need them the most..
Lost a few, 2 girlfriends as well I couldn't stop that or Coke no longer take drugs and unbelievable I can take or leave alcohol alone I've been rehabilitation 3 times every alcohol addiction group u can think of and I surrender to god living room floor and my life is million times better 🙏
Sam, let's be honest, you were the one feeding Barry mojitos all the time
I lost my brother and sister in law both because they could not stop and deal with the withdrawal of pills........... I miss them every day!!
beautiful 🖤 hope everyone battling any kind of addiction, finds strength to overcome & fell the walls that challenge them 🙏🖤
This song is guaranteed to have saved a lot of people suffering from everything he sings about.
Tomorrow will be 7 days since my last drink. Stay strong hangover gang. ❤️
Congratulations! The 26th will be seven years for me ♥️
God bless you! May you find the LOVE OF WHO YOU WANT TO BE NOW and enjoy a NEW YOU!!! a great read to help you stay strong is conversations with God by neale walsch as his books gave me 15 yrs so far and i have NEVER BEEN HAPPIER...life is still my life but I CHANGED. .i am in love with god myself and life....that keeps me sober ;-)
Keep that shit up HOGFAM
That's awesome!!! Keep fighting and stay strong!
2months 15 days in for me. Feels good man.
"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination."
You can't stop a wave but you can learn to surf it
That's perfectly said!
@BILLIE SAYS DUH That's awesome but you are lying and you're using a template that is as old as KZhead comment section itself. Get out.
I cried with you Tom...You're not alone...
Wish I had this song when I was new to recovery. 8 years clean from a 10 bag a day heroin habit. I now have loved to see my granddaughter be born, my daughter graduate, and my 16 year old play football in high school. Hardest and best thing I have ever done is get sober.
I give tons of credit to any recovering addict or alcoholic. I can’t imagine the torment. This song should be a theme song to recovery. Best of luck all.
Greatly said my friend
Thank you. Bless you man
Thank you. Jesus helped me quit drinking 1 year 5months 8 days. Quit smoking bud 3 days ago. Jesus is helping me quit smoking cigarettes too. It’s a battle for sure but trust in the Lord and he will show us the light. God bless sir.
Thank you for your kindness. I am a recovering addict/alcoholic I have been sober for 3 years from the alchohol after drinking 17 years it was hell on earth iv been clean from the pills and everything else for 13 years
I've been clean for over 15 years and ever day is a struggle. I will always be a addict till the day I die.
4 days clean at the moment, been trying to quit for 10 years. I'm listening to this song to fight the cravings.
Addict here I have to to set my timer every 30 minutes to not use...keep fighting bro. Take care
Listen to sleeping ute by Grizzly Bear...that one helps me a lot
🙏🏼Rob🙏🏼💕
Fucking warrior! Keep fighting! 5+ yrs for me.
You got this. If it was easy there would be no addicts. It will be worth it.
One full year I been sober and everyday I listen to this song to help me get through the tough time when I feel like giving up…it’s a reminder of what I been through and what I pushed my body through the drugs, alcohol and the withdrawals. Was any of my friends there to help me to get through it. No they weren’t they just wanted me to relapse over and over again
My husband has an addiction that he’s been fighting for 17 years and I hope that someday he wins and not his addiction. God bless anyone out there in need of being blessed in any way, shape or form worldwide.
Nobody knows how hard it is to quit an addiction. NOBODY! Unless you did it yourself. Thanks Tom. You nailed it.
@iBobby2012 do you have adhd
There's millions of people out there that needed this, thank you Tom..
We have less than a day to get this video to three million views. Actually less than sixteen hours from now. We need to keep pushing, watch it atleast 5 times from each device you have just on KZhead alone
Amen
Tom has put into words the suffering people go through who are addicted.Fantastic.
Im 12, yet love your music and how much you help people get through whatever their dealing with. Thank you and keep making awesome music like this.
Thanks for watching and commenting ❤ Telegram me above ⬆️ to confirm mystic box 📦 🎉

That's awesome 👏
Don't Ever Do Drugs And Put Yourself Threw That Hell Because IL Tell You It Is HELL! Stay Up Kid
15 almost 16 here!
About to hit 8 years sober. Have those thoughts everyday.. Crazy inspirational Tom. Everyday is a struggle. Gotta keep your head above water.
Congratulations on the 8 years.
God bless you. There are people u don't know and will never meet that pray for your and others.
Congrats, one day at a time 💯
Congratulations. Eight years is a long time. Just over a year and a half myself. I don't have much of a struggle not drinking but a constant struggle to maintain a state of spiritual progression that keeps me from getting to a state where I might contemplate drinking. I don't ever want to get to that state of mind again.
This guy, puts literally all of his life into music to help others, through all of his struggles, he is so selfless, all he wants is to help us. Let’s all do him a favor and watch the video a couple times a day, and download the song.

This is a beautiful facet of our collective healing. As a recovered heroin addict I love the connective power and impact of this. Thank you Tom.
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.
This one really hit home. 15 years clean now.

Proud of you brother 15 years strong is amazing
Congratulations,man. Keep thriving!
Awesome!! Definitely something to be said with pride. 2 months shy of 15yrs myself. I WILL make it to 15 too! Definitely nothing easy about it but it CAN be done ❤✌
@@Pisces-1978 keep that energy you're all amazing people
Damn, wonder how many lives he just changed or saved with this one... keep bein you, Tom. You're what this world needs.
AMEN!!!
I'm 2 years clean from my addictions and tom your music is what kept my drive between you and my family you guys saved me. I was an addict for 11 years.
I’m addicted to your music ..u speak volumes. My son is 8 and he jumps in the truck and says “play Tom McDonald dad. And I love it. He asks questions and I get to have great conversations with him because of your music. Please don’t stop
I’m 22 years sober and work at a inpatient rehab. I’ll definitely be sharing this one with my patients.
✨💜👏👏👏 proud of you friend. Thank you for your service work and for continuing to come back 🦋
Spent some time in one specializing in 'troubled teens' when I was younger, and you guys really don't get paid enough for what you deal with. Respect what you guys do a ton.
As I posted on the comments, I got out of rehab a few weeks ago. The staff members in my unit that were in recovery themselves made all the difference in my recovery and they/You truly understand. Thank You so much for You dedication and it gives me hope when I see people with so much clean time giving back. I'm proud of You!! Much Love brother. I hope You read this and that You're still doing well.
Very powerful message. This song will touch so many lives. Amazing lyrics and video as always.❤❤❤
I imagine this is what my husband felt. He passed away from a herion overdose. I'm tearing up listening to this.
Same. 2 years in August.
As a former addict I suspect he did, I did. He wasn't sick, he was sad and hurting and couldn't overcome the pain. Addiction is the symptom not the cause
🙏
🙏🙏🙏
So sorry for your loss. I've had friends taken by the exact same thing and all these years later it still hurts. I wish you all the best.
Tom MacDonald's music is more like a medicine! I've lived a crazy life. My only regret is that I didn't find his music sooner...would have less scars to heal. Thanks, man.
Tom. I just found your music. Your song withdrawl hit home. Hard. I'm 8 weeks in cold turkey from then suboxone. Govt controlled drug addiction I've heard it called. It's all I can do to hang. Your song gives me a bit of hope.
Struggling with this now, this song makes me want to go through the hell of withdrawal again
Thanks for watching and commenting ❤ Telegram me above ⬆️ to confirm mystic box 📦 🎉
THIS is the song that deserves ten times over to hit the top charts! This NEEDS to be pushed!!
Agree
One of the very few artists who speaks about real life problems. Very relatable. This man is an inspiration!! Keep it up Tom i’ll be backing you all the way my friend
If you like real stuff listen to NF
Check out Falling In Reverse's song Popular Monster!
This man has saved my LIFE .... MY LIFE!!!
Anyone struggling YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH !! CHOOSE !
And if ur struggling just leave a comment sum1 will message u, we all nice here, dnt suffer just listen the music will help u through it, the day the night prob the next day and night but trust me u will eventually sleep and eat I promise it won't last x
I’ve never seen an artist work as hard as Tom does. Everything he puts out is gold! Such a badass.
Check out tupac
check out eminem or nf!
@@lackycc two of my other favorites!!
Tupac, Eminem, Dr. Dre......and then comes Tom. He might be the new generation Eminem, but with a different name......Tom.
I feel like everyone likes to compare. Like NF vs. Eminem etc. I mean it’s art, everyone has a different style.
