Tom, you won’t read this message but I’m a Marine who served in Iraq during the invasion and again in 2005 to 2006. I have PTSD and survivors guilt. Your song will save my life. I heard it for the first time a month ago and am now on day 32 of being sober. I’ve thrown away more relationships than I care to admit over alcohol. At one point I told myself to let the demons win. They didn’t thanks to you. I called my parents a few days ago to start rebuilding. I’ve also scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist to hopefully help me fix other areas. I refuse to be another number. I know my path is not easy but thank you thank you thank you for this. I don’t even know what else to say. I know I’m not the only person hearing this who you have saved but some day I’d love to buy you a coffee or soda. Here’s to no more day zeroes and no more demons winning. S/F bro.
Way to go man. Ty for your service and sacrafices.
Thank you for your service, and PLEASE know that there IS a grateful nation of Patriots who ARE the "Silent Majority", and we support you in solidarity AND healing! May God bless you and yours ALWAYS. Grace is HIS domain. Trust him faithfully and you WILL find HIM and yourself, again! 🎯>⏳ 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
My brother served in the Navy and came home a drunken mess and it took 3 years for him to hit rock bottom and at times I wished him dead for all the pain he caused my parents then he put himself in AA for the long hall. When he the halfway house and got his first chip we all showed up to support him and after that it was nothing but up for him so he went out and got a late college degree and a great job at a major plastics engineering company and found himself a good wife all in his forties. It's never too late for an honest second chance so stay on the right path and keep your old drinking buddies at a distance until they see what your truly striving for. Godspeed to you.
stand firm, and much respect.
My step father is a fellow marine, all the respect and positive energy is sent your way:))
42 and this is the first time I've ever bought a signed cd or considered myself a real fan of anyone. Tom and Nova are a diamond in the rough. We need this kind of real, unapologetic music now more than ever before.
40 and found him yesterday. 👍💪✌
46 three day binge and ordered all his albums...lol...also a recovering alcoholic and drug user, finally an artis who makes it cool to be sober ....
I'm 112 and what is this?
I'm 38, and I completely agree. I just found him about a week ago and I'm already a huge fan.
38, just discovered Tom, it's amazing to hear some 'hardcore' rap with an actual positive message.
I'm 41 days clean after 20 years of meth addiction I spent the whole night thinking of suicide but I'm still here praise God
Keep up the clean time. I felt this song. Was an iv user. Today I have 17 months clean. You got this
I hope you read this. I need help. Ice has ruined my life. I used to be bad off on heroin but I went to prison and got clean from that. Only I picked up ice a couple years after I got out of prison and I'm still doing it today. I just did a shot an hour ago. I'm hideously disgusted with myself. It cost my fiance already among many other things. I used the excuse of life being hard due to felony convictions and society being hypocritical and uncaring but those excuses ran dry a long time ago. Now I feel nothing. I have to use to be normal feeling again but the problem is I never feel anything. Not the drug. Not emotions, nothing. I don't care about anything and I'm tired of disappointing everyone. I want to die but I'm too much of a coward to do it myself, unfortunately. I have no friends no girl no kids no family. I have no one. That only makes it easier to stay in the shit. I have hit a dead end without the added benefit of dying. What do I do? I know I don't have long to live. One way or another I know I'm nearing the end. What do I do?? I'm terrified of going through withdrawals again and have no support group. I'm lost and while I I'm tired of being lost, it's all I've known for so long I don't remember any other way to be. I'm a phony. A pretender. An imposter. An Island of my own making drifting further and further into the abyss and can't see a single lighthouse anywhere and the sharks are circling.
Keep it up please. We’re proud of you! You are still here for a reason
May I'll be clean of Meth 51 Years. After all the ups and downs I'm still breathing. Don't check out until we win. I'll add you to my prayer list
U still good bro?
I'm struggling to stay sober. 74 days sober, so I'm a newbie. It's hard but this song is helping. Thanks Tom Macdonald for such a great song. It's reminding me why I need to stay sober.
Keep it up friend. The defeat won't be worth it but the victory will!
One day at a time it's hard but it gets easier. Just think to yourself every time you want to drink if I can make it 74 days I can make it 74 more. After a while it becomes easier to ignore the Temptations. Stay strong
8 days help
I hope you're still doing good! I never thought id live without drinking. Its possible 🖤🌸
Well hope you are still sober you said you was 75 days in you did it l hope anyway well done l was the same and one day l woke up and realised it had destroyed my life all them years wasted but now things are so much better it was killing me. We are better than that. Would be nice to chat if you want because l hope you made it.
I've never liked rap music and I have never liked so many videos. This guy is really something.
Same i have had his music playing all day every song is so good
Yep. Me too.
Haven't heard anything I not liked yet...And I hate rap...lol
same here. i'm a metal head and never could stand rap. but Tom and Nova are something special. you can hear every word he says and speaks nothin but the truth
As a new fan, trying to make a playlist of all the songs I like is a workout. Some garbage in there, but can't believe how many slay.
I can't express enough how excited I am that there is finally a rapper that I can let my kid listen to. He is 17 . And loves rap. You young man have this old lady's respect. Truth .. I could seriously hug you.
If he is 17 you shouldnt censor any content he consumes, sorry
@@DadSkool It’s none of your business how others parent their children, honestly it’s likely impossible these days to keep your 17 year old from accessing whatever content they want
@@mattsnow4116 i agree
That's awesome!
@@DadSkool not your child be quiet
I just wanna say to all who have struggled, are or just celebrated a long time, I'm proud of us. I got 13 yrs. It's been a better 13 than the previous 13. U can do this.
"I don't care who I hurt, I feel awesome." You're real as fuck, in a way that literally everybody shys away from. Keep leaning
I second that!
Literally not? Like 10M subs? Lol
@@sherriebucci2532 Nobody asked😁
So what do you want him to be like OMG YOU HURT ME SO BAD WAAAA,haha loser not gonna happen
@@thenegilskis199, last time I checked I didn't need to on a public forum. I could say the same to you! nobody asked!!!
Toms diverse music is why no one will ever come close to his talent.
SOO TRUE he is the best n Nova he hits the heart ❤
This. He covers so many genres.
Hope you don't mind having older fans. I am the 71 year old husband of the 69 year old lady and think you're brilliant. It's not all bad in my day I saw the who live and the move 1960s. Best wishes from the UK
I think this is awesome! I'm 37 and a Tom Macdonald fan. I've been watching his videos, reading the comments, and I'm surprised and thrilled to see that Tom's music resonates with all ages. 😁💗
Early 50's here, just discovered Tom's music ... on my 3rd day of binge watching.
I love this ❤️
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜Best wishes to you and your wife!!!!!
37 here mate good taste has no age limit
I have never had an issue with drinking but I think this is one of the most honest and real songs I have ever heard
6 beers in on a Thursday, this song comes to me and makes me realize that maybe I need to step back and check out my own life. Gos bless this Man and his whole team. He is singing THE TRUTH no matter the subject
How you doing?
300 o clock been up since 3 drinking all day probably about 12 beers close no stopping anytime soon not that I want to I just can't right now it's my best friend when I have none also my worst enemy.
@@jessicafitoo God bless you and help with your struggle. Stay strong brother
Moderation, drink to relax, not get drunk, if you're going to abuse alcohol, leave it alone.
I, myself, am not an alcoholic. However, I AM the son of a recovering alcoholic who has 30 years of sobriety under his belt. Every day he is fighting like he’s only one beer away. I’m proud of my old man and I’m sure he’d love to see this video. Y’all keep fighting!
Have your pops check out Tom's video for "Sober" it's awesome, and congrats to the man!
Congrats to the man.
I know the feeling I got to na...all the time and I get drunk black out and idk what's wrong with me....I get drunk and cry and feel sorry for myself
I'd be sober as well if my mind wasnt a fucking hell
Bill Chamberlain I'm so glad you're dad was able to get and stay sober. My dad wasn't so lucky and didn't get to beat his addictions so hearing and reading stories about people who have just warms my heart to a point I didn't think was possible
Tom got me sober for real! I can't even describe the gratitude I have for him and nova I was in the darkest place in my life and I was a heroin addict for 18 years the alcohol was worse. Thank you Tom!
Man... Congratulations on getting sober! Way to fight to regain your life! I don't know you, but I'm very proud of you!
Congrats!! Keep it up! I’m cheering for you!
Keep going, dont give up. Live your life, we only get one. Xo
I hope you're doing well !
A youtube video made you quit. Read yourself back that comment. lol
4 months sober and I'm struggling tonight. I listen to this song to help remind me why I stay that way. Thanks Tom.
Listen to "Fighter" and "Scars". It will touch your soul. And heart. The lyrics that come out of his brain, will change your life.
I hope it's gotten a little better for you hang in their remember if you slip and fall just get back up and keep moving forward brother you can bet this I did you can too
@@LanneBrad ❤🎉😂 a way q req we
Didn't mean to type this I was holding phone and didn't realise
I Have 16 years, YOU GOT THIS.
The struggle is real.we don't wanna be this way but
This guy is the coolest weirdo I’ve ever liked and 100% relate to !!
@Remi Hart he meant “weirdo” in a good way calm tf down
@Remi Hart Don't be like them! Tom would completely embrace weirdo status!
What does Beyonce have her bees whether there f****** called. Well Tom's got his weirdos. Hands up weirdos✋.
"I don't drink, because when I'm drunk, I'm retarded..." Is far too relatable to me.
So the first time I heard this I died laughing at this line.... but then im like holy shit it’s just sooo real 🙂🙂
Your not alone I drink then I make people mad
@Both Parties Suck I do smoke. You're right though. I don't act like a fucking moron when I am stoned.
Not shit... Even the getting naked in a nightclub part is relatable to me...
@@OutOfTheBoxThinker loool
I stopped drinking almost 10 years now. October it will be ten years. The day I decided to stop I was only on my second beer on the Saturday morning and whilst I was drinking it I could see the hurt and pain in my wife's eyes and realised today is the day and the time to stop.
I’m going on just about 2 years. My cue to dial it back was my family saying two years in a row (when I couldn’t drink due to pregnancy) at Christmas that they were the best Christmases we’ve ever had. Had to reevaluate my part in that.
so proud of you man
A t and month privately gotta watch about a cop fucking and a neighbor
Call tommy mcdonald's I love you song
I quit rapping when I became an alcoholic and my fans were worried that I was going to quit. I've been sober for a year as of November 8th and now I'm back playing shows and my life is finally mine again. Anyone going through the same or similar know that although it's rough, it's possible and I support you 💯. Thank you Tom 🌻
Im so happy for you, I hope your doing well, also whats your rapper name and stuff? I wanna hear
I love this guy! Btw- I’ve been sober since Aug. 2004. Not a drop since I was 26. Jesus did that. Believe it!
Awesome
I believe it brother! Listenjng to the Bible on audiobook everytime I struggle. It helps a lot.
Amen brother, thank you Jesus 🙏
Been trying to quit for some time I'm 26. Tired of feeling shame for things I dont remember
@@18883434262 Today is the first day of the rest of your life. But take it a day at a time. You got this!
The most important artist in any genre right now. He needs to compile all of his shit into one album and call it "The Truth Bible".
Oh shit. Genius
They are the definition of 'prolific'. Losing count of all their masterpieces. ❤️🙏
Much of what he sings is already in the Bible.
I am coming up on three years sober and this song is my anthem. Alcohol nearly ruined my life, but I won in the end.
I dont drink alcohol at all,did when i was younger but not to excess, my husband drank,not spirits but beer, hasnt had a drink coming up to 4 years now, NOBODY EVER MADE A GOOD DECISION WHEN THEY WERE DRUNK, thats why i dont do it,this song is just so honest, im a 63 year old woman from South Wales 🏴 in the uk,i found you one evening by accident on youtube, the day Facts was released, im now a huge fan. I feel like this world is not one i recognise anymore but you give me hope so thanks Tom.❤
I'm 63 years old. This song is so true. I wish some one would have sang it when I was young. I'm glad it's here today. I hope people take heed to it.
I'm 37 and just sent the link to my 17 yo. He really needs to hear it and take notes
just stfu boomer nobody cares
Yeah. I'd hate to have a tattoo of a beer can on my but cheek that's smiling
@@nickshaw2121 imagine dissing on a 63 year old... not cool
Im 50
This song could have been my husband’s anthem. It pretty much sums up his life 30+ years ago before we met. He drank to numb his life. Thankfully he worked hard to get straight and never looked back. We got married, had six awesome kids and he’s an incredible husband and dad.
Good for him! Same goes for my grandpa.
Just needed a good woman!
I don't know if I am supposed to hate Tom McDonald or love Tom McDonald but this song I can relate to. I know that I too am allergic to alcohol and when I drink I break out in handcuffs. Taking it slow trying to do the right thing. Often easier said than done
That is a fantastic story! So happy for you and your husband. Much respect!
sounds like i gotta chance!
The most honest drinking song I have EVER heard. And the melodies by Tom are just awesome!
Tom is just what the music industry needed.A SAVIOUR
I love Tom, but there is only one Savior, Jesus. God bless you:)✝️🙏❤️
As a non drinker, I can't get personally attached to this. But what does get me emotional is how many people in the comments section talk about their personal stories or how this song changed them. Find it amazing how this song brought out so much emotion in so many people. Great song Tom.
I spent 10 years loving an alcoholic... I never understood why he chose that life... when he gets sober and falls off the wagon. This song and Tom Macdonald's song "Angels" has put a little into perspective for me. I too, enjoy the stories from all who are winning their battle with the demons. We fight our own fight in different ways.
My husband was an alcoholic. Was sober 11 years....single vehicle accident BAC of .195 on the toxicology report. Hearing Tom MacDonald and NF have helped me have a little more insight. I wish my husband had encountered Tom's music.
I will have 16 years clean and sober in August 2021. The best thing I ever did was lose the bottle. God Bless You.
Being a heavy drinker this song almost makes me wanna change cause when I'm drunk I'm retarded!
"Made it out alive, and that's a victory" ... yep! July 1, 2021 was my 36th anniversary without a drink ... you can do this.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 keep it up!
I'm late to the party, but you're a boss! 36 years man. That's awesome, inspirational even! Much love brother
Coming up on 37?
I never heard of this guy until today. I love it! I had 15 years and threw it out and now I have little over 21 months clean.
Sounds to me like you 16+ years and one bad night. That's a victory
I agree with Omari’s comment here above… you have 16+ years with a rough patch or a bad night… no reason to start back at day 1. You’re definitely not the same person as you were…it’s not possible.
Don't give up
Im 4 years sober, couldn't have done it without you and Nova and Adam, I love ya, y'all are all family, you'll always have a home here in Kentucky, you three are gonna change the world, don't stop pushing Tom .
Congratulations on your 4 years sober, man!!! Staying sober is the most difficult thing I have ever done I my life. I've fallen sooooo many times that I'm back to 24 hours clean as of 2pm today. Anyone who can make it years (I previously relapsed at my 1 year 1month 🤦🏼♀️) is a fuckin hero in my eyes. Do proud of you dude, keep it up!❤️❤️
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! 💗
I'm a struggling addict/alcoholic, trying to get clean and happy. This music is giving me so much inspiration. Right on 😁
You can do it man
Yes bro you go
You're not alone...thats where I am at as well. We can do it.
I have been clean for 7 years and used the NA program. You should check it out. Also, one of my favorite songs from Tom is "sober" have you heard it?
Bro I have multiple family members that have struggled and all I can do is tell you you can do it and keep strong.
Been sober since I got locked up for fighting in June 2019, got out nine months later and now have a year of probation. After a year and nine months, no reason to start being stupid again. Thanks Tom for being you.
Garrett VonKemnow I feel you, haven’t had a drink myself since July 25 2019
My dad stopped that same month!
Wow... Your words, my life. 10 years 6 months sober today. Thanks for doing what you do.
I just picked up 4 years sober last oct. This song brings all the bad things roaring back and reminds me why I'm standing here today. Thank you so much! Its when I forget about where I came from that old habits start coming back. Keep up the great work man.
3 years sober and any time I feel like drinking, I listen to this song and remember why it’s a horrible idea
I wish that some of the lyrics would refer to me when I'm drunk. I know I drink too much but I don't behave like an asshole or do stupid things, but I'm afraid of my health. On the other side I escape all the bullshit that's going on right now and I'm happy to miss a couple of hours every other day!
Congratulations Victoria!
I'm fighting the same war brother. Great message, thanks for the show. 3 years for the rest of my life... I've been having nightmares about using, this song puts me back into a better place!!!
You are now part of the Hang Over Gang, congrats!
Proud of you! I’m a retired EMT, and this makes me smile! My brother was sober for 16 years, and started to think he could drink socially again. Let’s just say it didn’t end well, but he is two years sober again. Stay healthy 🥰
A guy with the balls to reject the mainstream and encourage kids to be decent people, love it! P.S. I can truly relate, Tom speaks truth!
✊🏼🇺🇸

I hope I can get to the point where I can I can sing this song to my wife. She's the best and deserves better than I give her. Thank you Tom . You are inspiring.
You can do it!! Lets go buddy!!
This is the sweetest comment ❤️ you can do it ❤️
Tom, you have no idea just how much this song hits me. Your lyrics...you are basically telling my story but are missing some parts. I'm 44 years old, I was also married to the booze and my mistress was white powder and/or it's hard ugly sister. 5 years ago my life changed, I became a paraplegic, to be honest I'm kinda lucky I'm alive. Most people who get hit by a train that's going 32km/h are usually in pieces. I was absolutely hammered and decided to take a short cut home. I guess I got tired from walking and sat down on the rail. Woke up face down and hearing the train go into emergency. Tried to get up and realized I couldn't move my legs. Blacked out. Came too in being loaded into a helicopter...5 days later and so doped up on pain meds in the hospital I started to remember my name. Booze never solved any of my problems. I never found any answers at the bottom of any bottle of beer I drank. I have just about 3 years of sobriety now, I do not have the urges to drink anymore. It really is "One Day at a Time" as the saying goes. I'm an alcoholic/drug addict and I will be fighting this devil EVERY DAY. I've danced long enough with the devil that I know now when it's going to try and defeat me but I will not be defeated. My life is so much better now, stress free, booze and drug free. I go to bed with a clear head and I wake up feeling better and ready to face the day. I now have sole custody of my 6 year old little girl and she is doing great in school and is respectful of people, especially disabled people. Tom, please, please making great music, you have a forever fan now. Cheers from your homeland. One Day at a Time 🇨🇦🧑🦽♿
Whoa Just wanted you to know I read your story. You are amazing! I would wallow in pity. I hope @TomMacDonald sees this comment. He has live streams, probably tomorrow night to promote his song. Just thought I'd share in care you didn't know.
I'm 2 months sober. I'm not going to let alcohol control my life ever again.
One day at a time...
Sending encouragement friend. If you defeat it, it will make you strong.
Good
fuck yeah man! I'm still drinking daily and I've been really cutting down. Ive been working 12 hours a day and volunteering to work Saturdays to cut down on my drinking and hopefully after a couple months I can get sober and save a fuck load of money. I'm 24 and I'm ready to be over it.
I literally just filled up my fridge with beer and now I feel stupid :/ I don't feel cool anymore after watching this
I gave up drinking 7 months ago. It's so nice walking with my head held high and feeling proud of myself rather than feeling hungover and worthless. True story!
stay strong. you will be able to change other lives. never give up no matter what.
If you've kept it up I think that would make a full year sober for you. That's truly incredible. Don't let anyone undervalue that. You can keep sober if your will is strong but do it for yourself. Internal inspiration is one of the best methods of growth, in my humble opinion
God bless. The world is BETTER with you participating!
Tom helps me to stay sober. Thank you.
Believe in yourselves and each other and never give up on your dreams and aspirations and remember to be kind and uplifting to each other and open minded and genuine and respectful and humble.
Great things to live by. "Have courage and be kind," -Cinderella
I've Been in AA ten months. I'm clean and sober. I listen to this song at least once a day. It helps.
I'm trying so hard to get sober, I've been shooting up daily for 3 years now, but because of toms music, i have been able to force myself to use less almost every time, and I know I can do it even tho it's a slow process, I'm doing it. When I feel like the cravings are too overwhelming, i blare your music and sit back n close my eyes n picture me living a sober life, n you honestly are helping me thru this more than I know how to say, thank you so much Tom, you are such an important part of my life, even tho it's only thru your music, i can never thank you enough
Me to 💯💯 no more soothing with a bong instead listen to tom!
You can beat it.

Haven't drank in two years. Only 24 and watch all my friends drinking till they black out every weekend. Thanks for this one tom. Seems personal, but speaks different to me.
Wish I was your age when I decided to kick the can, respect dude 🤘🤘
I'm 24 also, been drinking at least a 6 pack every day since 14. Just recently (last two months) I've been slowing way, way down. Trying to get to where your at. Respect op
27 and haven’t drank in 4 years, just got tired of waking up feeling like shit and wasting my money. Your not alone my friend
Feel you on this bro 22 and 2 years not drinking too. Drink can fuck off! Stay strong man
I’m there with you. I woke up in my apartment and didn’t know how I got there one time when I was 21 I’m 28 now and still haven’t drink since then
I'm a total fan now. Especially after "Fake Woke". His balls are bigger than most of his contemporaries heads.
Hahahaha true shit
He's what the world needs more than ever!!!!! The people in power are trying to divide us and the reality is we need to join together, colour really is not the problem now its media and government trying to keep us occupied with blaming each other.
@@swisstoni5844 This era might be the last opportunity for the elite to play the races off of each other. The internet is red-pilling everyone about everything. The elite are getting more desperate, that's why they're trying so damn hard to find racists or make racists. Billions are being spent on the programs designed to find or make them. They destroyed the black community by poisoning their women against their men and making it profitable. Now they're going after every community. This has never been about race, it was always about the elite maintaining dynastic power over everyone else. Every political system gets corrupted by their ilk so that the best thieves reap the most rewards. From Communism to Fascism the elite always eat the bounty and give scraps to the rest of us. All while putting the hoi polloi at each other's throats. They won't be able to get away with this for very much longer. Even in the deep South, families are getting mixed with all races. Hard to claim racism when everyone is some combination of all races. They'll still try... but they'll fail.

Hey Tom I absolutely love your music and I listen to you every day, I was in a deep depression and I would drink a whole bottle of rum every day to wash the pain I was feeling after my mother passed. Your music and my sister saved my life, I'm proudly two months sober now and feel like my old self
I quit drinking and been sober 6 years. This song reminds me of reasons why I am. So happy to not have to feel the way I did and to not have myself or others hurt from it. Much love ♥️ stay strong everyone.
stay strong. you got this.

12 pack time.
I dont drink cause i grew up with my father being a alcoholic, seen it as kid still see it today. Told myself i'll never be like him, its my goal
Me too, i can relate. Now he's older still hitting the bottle daily. I feel like his time is about to run out. His health is in obvious decline. I will never allow myself to end up like him.
Support, keep up man !
I drink occasionally but never get drunk. I have alcoholism and abusive behavior linked to it on both sides of my family (thank goodness both my parents broke that cycle) so I’m against it for that reason. I was also raised Catholic so I think getting drunk is immoral. So that helps.
By this statement i know you won't be like him stay strong man i know its hard to watch your Dad drink himself to death mine is also doing it your not alone bro
@Truthbetold hey man, youre may not be perfect but youre doing great. if your daughter loves you and youre both happy, thats really most important.
Tom, I heard about you about a month ago. Since then I can't stop listening. I'm a 40yr old white dude and hated rap. Your a godsend to this generation!!!! Your a voice that has more therapy than NF and more "wokeness" than hopsin and fits with ALL people regardless of age! Got me hooked!
You're
You Can’t try to compare him with NF cuz they are totally different but they both have their “therapeutic” qualities. And no one is “woke” we are all in the dark. The term woke is for people like Kanye lmmfao
Why do you hate rap
Stay strong, mimic the winners, ignore the losers. Including these replies.
Liar... So you "Hated" rap before Tom, but you refer to NF and hopsin? Something is off ma dude
This man can't make a bad song, every trac he does is amazing !
THAS WAt IM SAYIN
Word
I relate to this on a soul level. Had to stop drinking because I become a tyrant when I was. New favorite song 🎉
After declaring last night that I'm done with alcohol, I hear this song first thing this morning.
Been a month how's that going? Hope you can stay strong.
Hope your doing well! Your strong and you can!
Keep listening and remembering why you quit! There's more to live for!!
Guess, if he isn’t updating this comment from when he was waking up hungover from a bender we all know what’s happening. Leaving an addiction behind, especially one that’s truly inside of you, takes a whole hell of a lot more than a hopeful comment online to walk away from. With that said, if he ever comes back and looks through these comments they could be what saves his life, we’ve all been there brother, we all are still right there with you, even if we haven’t touched our doc in years. No matter how low you get remember that you have an entire life ahead of you. Time to change, or at least try too. I can’t even count the times I’ve hit a milestone and been overran with sorrow and went right back, how many times I’ve disappointed everyone in my life, how close to death I’ve gotten and continued to play with fate. I’m on medication that allows me to have a life. I am truly my worst enemy, just like everyone in this thread or comment section is, so take our advice, and stay strong, stay positive and know our shared struggles make us stronger. Good luck and know, we believe in you.
@@narcoleptic-insomniac4663, yes I'm still drinking. I haven't had a binge like that since. Alcoholism runs in my family which doesn't help any. It was easier to quit drugs than this.
Tom Macdonald is a breath of fresh air in this idiotic culture that glorifies self-destructive behavior. Go Tom, youre the GOAT!
Yes
True
actually that was my first impression but actually the dude hates this culture listen to the other songs u will know what i mean just try.
Truth!!
Fact!
Tom ... you speak truth so much ... I'm 55 and your music has got me thinking so much. So much that I gotta re-think where I am in life ... love your music man!
Listening to Tom macdonald is like a therapist 👌 😌
I'm a 50 year old metal head, but I like this guy. Just discovered him a few days ago, not a fan of the tats, but don't judge a book by its cover..
53 here, I am floored by Tom and Nova. My normal music...Static X, Pantera...
One of his lyrics is "Don't judge the engine by the paint."
"Better a painted face than a painted soul" -Grandma
55 here, another old metal head- it's been a long time since I've heard truth in lyrics like Tom's- I'm a fan for life now.
48, for ever metal, hardcore and punkrock. This is nice though.
11 years sober and this is a song i can relate too almost verbatim. Getting sober was the best decision I've ever made!! Keep up the great work Tom. Love your music
Keep being sober, keep being an example of how its done.
I will quit
@@vlogando107 I wish you great success!!
Happy 12. Years busted!!!!
@@youtubejk619 12 years the 23rd of this month. yay!! Thank you
Only discovered Tim Macdonald in the last few weeks, I'm in the UK. I feel less alone hearing a voice preaching the same sermon. There's no hate from this man and we have shared some of the same path in life. Thank you Mr Macdonald, stay strong and keep sharing 🇺🇲🇬🇧💪🦁💪🇬🇧🇺🇲

We just lost my husband's 29 year old nephew. He was an alcoholic. His mom found him the day after Thanksgiving. One day at a time.
I've been clean and sober going on 8 years, this song as most of yours hits home... respect Tom
LAME!!!!
Congrads man. You kind of people give me hope
@@sos5849 if anyone is having struggles getting or staying clean, feel free to shoot me a email decayingpurity@yahoo.com
Congratulations on being sober for 8 years
I love how Tom gets so personal with his music. It's refreshing to hear something other than "my bling" "my money" "my cars" "my hoes". I just didn't care for the song. Of course it's still better than 90% of this supposed music others make. Keep doing you Tom.
really? this is just as common and overdone as the other music. its just a different type of exploitation. it isnt hard to pull on the heartstrings of addicts. he isnt doing anything new.
I love how the ones that say it’s better are ones who don’t listen to any of it anyway. You don’t care for the song? Then it ain’t better than shit, music is an art form primarily hinging on rhythm. Maybe if you go back and listen to the 90% you’ll realize it’s a lot catchier and that’s the skill behind it. Just cause you talk about “real” shit doesn’t mean it’s not “real shitty”
@@werdle92 been awhile since I heard someone speak their life experiences they way Tom does. THAT is what makes me a fan.
I agree. Thats why I listen to him he talks about the things no one does and that’s just what’s some people need to hear sometimes
@@werdle92 thank you bro, been saying the same about this clown.
This song is WHO I WAS ! It’s like you told my life story before getting sober❤
You guys are an amazing couple. Keep doing what you’re doing God be with you
I don’t even like rap. But this man caught my attention. His message cannot be ignored
Irene Belasco you'll definitely like "I hate hip hop" then
Woah. Alcohol is bad for you?!?! Never would've guessed it.
Tommy C's SFTP What?
dont say "but", say "because of this"
Bare witness to the creative epicness you are missing. Tom ain’t the only one
6 months here. Thomas was one of the reasons I became sober. Alot of other people in the comments, as well. Thank you, brother. Thank you so much. We love you man❤
Don’t stray from it ! Keep up the great work
@@afarley747almost 7 months❤
Almost 8 months now❤
Over 10 months!!!
This brought me to tears. After leaving the AF, i turned to the bottle, drowning myself for close to 10 years. I stopped too late... I lost everything. Bless you and your family, Tom.
Much love and respect to you and your channel Tom MacDonald, I hope that all is well for you and your family and friends and I hope that all of your dreams and aspirations come true and that you are safe during your travels and adventures and tours and while recording your music and videos and performing.
The fact that Tom isn’t on the radio tells you everything you need to know.
Ya, for sure some of the best music never makes it to the radio. That’s ok I don’t listen to radio anyway lol
Was just thinking that today
Truth or the ones who barely make it on. Says a lot to me.
What the hell is the radio?
But he is on KZhead, Pandora & who knows where else🤘🏻🤘🏻
Tom is the only one who can make "holy crap" sound good in a song
He failed here
@@Kyle-sv8nu when he didn't (kyle sucks)
Kyle Duke clearly saying that cause you don’t understand what he’s saying
Yup
That's why they use autotune
20 years ago this could've been the anthem to my life. My biggest gratitude is that phone cameras weren't a thing back then, so there is very little photographic evidence of the absolute obliteration. Still absolutely love this song though.
If anyone listening this Awesome song in 2023 remind me by liking it. This song is kinda relatable.🤗🤗🤗👍🏻.
To all of you commenting your stories of sobriety and struggles with substance abuse, stay strong. I am proud of you all!! Keep it up! 🥰
Lol I 12
I love u too xx
💯💯💯🖤❤️🖤❤️🙏
Thank you
Thank you
Woke up hungover, got on youtube and this was in my recommended, very meta
Nice!
Someone talking to you...
That's just your guardian FBI agent looking out for you. 🤣
Same thing happened to me this morning
No its just your phone listening
Hearing this song for the first time. I don’t know why cause I’ve listened to TMac since “Dear Slim” Life changing words bro!powerful and grateful. Walk-in the line, too listen to you rhyme. 🙏🏻
I'm a alcoholic......you made it I could only pray for your loyalty and happiness to your family
Never too late Goldie. Alcohol almost killed me. Find a meeting, get a sponsor. Mostly you need a higher power, mine is Jesus. You choose what works for you. Praying for you
Aww I love at the end how he called his girlfriend and put her in the song. That was awesome ❤️❤️
Oo really 😏
ufarley chuck oh ya major brownie points! 🤘

Going on 4 yrs sober now. I cannot have just one or two and damn sure would like to have that ability but been down that road and can’t touch it at all. So many things in this song bring back memories and make me appreciate who I am without it. I don’t know how I haven’t heard of Tom before a few days ago, the guy is a lyrical genius and the pure talent to get these messages out is for lack of a better word amazing.
You have bragging rights now bro
5 years for me. Just going down the Tom Mcdonald rabbit hole myself lol His song Sober is amazing too.
Oh and congratulations on your almost 4 years! Stay strong!!
This song helped keep me sober. I lost nearly all my friends and girlfriend of 6 years to my drinking. I started isolated and not caring. After my second arrest, I made a promise that I would never drinking again. That was 16 months ago. The second bridge starting with “I’m a mess” hits home. My girlfriend was the love of my life and I chased her away. It’s something I have to live with. That was my rock bottom. I am grateful alcohol is not in my life anymore
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! 💗
I was facing 85 years when I left N C then GOD sent me an angel it's been 31 years not a drop🎉
When you realize Tom was singing about your life before you ever heard of him O.O....

GLAD WHERE PROUD
I started drininking at 14-15 . And I swear this song is a my autobiography....I'm in my 30s and 2 years sober . I feel this song in so many ways . Can't stop listening to it .
Reminds me of my ex way back in the early 80's yes had tatoos. Not on his face or the weird hairdo. But that shirt,, I called it his bumble bee shirt it was striped black and yellow.. and the sceene with him showing his tatooed knuckles. that was him.. He Never touched a drink since my son was 3 we are not together anymore but he has been sober for over 30 years
Don't judge a book by its cover. Tom represents thst more than any artist out now.
I’m in my late 40’s and I never drank in my life. When I was a little kid around 12 years old my father used to come home drunk every night and yell at my mother and me for no reason. I made a promise to myself that when I grow up I will NEVER drink and become like my father. 35 years later and I’m still keeping that promise that I made to myself when I was 12 years old. I’m actually very proud to say that I’m 47 years old and I have no idea what it feels like to be drunk. Even to this day I still don’t touch the stuff.
Almost the same except I'm 45 and my step dad was the alcoholic and he physically abused me till I ran away from home at 16. I do have a glass of wine maybe once a year lol but never till my kids were grown and moved out.
Congrats
When you are ready you should atleast try a drink for a light buzz maybe when you get older :)
You never have to drink. You dont need it, youre living your best life without that shit
So much respect!
51 days sober ❤️
You are worth it.
🎉🎉🎉
We lost the fight together that’s a win to me -Tom Macdonald
This dude is a legend. Love it Tom!
Love you too bro
I totally agree! He is so talented!
Right ? I wanna make a song with him
Today is 15 years without a drink or drug. People ask why, I tell them I'm allergic to alcohol and break out into bouts of misdemeanors and or felonies. Song kind of hit home, thanks!
Facts lol
I always say "I'm allergic to alcohol, I break out in handcuffs".
worked in prison ministry and now re-integration. I deal with this allergy all the time. Love to all my boys who keep fighting.
@@unacceptablesisterpeter3431 Thanks for all you do. It's funny, once I stopped using, I no longer do anything illegal (well, might speed every once in a while when driving but I don't count that). Before when I was using, the only legal thing I did was go to work. Funny how that works out
@@troyv8302 I too have a heavy foot.😇 race you in heaven.🙂
I'm a struggling addict I found my son's mother dead Sept 12th this song every lyric is exactly how it is when I drink for everyone that's sober today you're awesome and the one's that are still active keep trying don't quit you are worthy of a sober life and If no one told you today I love you
How you doin man?
no offence but look at his pfp and it’s not a old pic since that’s high camera quality and he joined a year ago and only has that comment. Sorry if I’m wrong though
My whole family (extended included) drank like this. Their examples are the reason I don't drink.
I completely understand that. My family is the reason I don't drink either.
Am now realizing you can't judge a book by its cover. His looks seems as someone who will rap about drugs but motivates ratha. He good. You got a fan man.
Yeah no shit you should probably stop judging people
Yeah but hes the complete oppisite and hes fantastic. Wish I found him years ago instead of months ago.
This video shouldn’t have made you realize already, but what ever
@@bubbadan20006 ya I found him 7 months ago

4 years sober next month. Literally felt like you were singing this song talking about my previous mistakes and decisions. This whole ass song hit home brother!!
7 and a half here. only by the grace of God
Got 5 yrs here, congrats!
Don't know
4 years 2 weeks now congrats stay strong
Yup I felt the blacked out and spent all my money line real hard
13 and a half years sober and this song helps along with GODs grace. It would had been great if you were around back in the 80s.
I'm pretty sure I've done most things in this song. Sober for eighteen months so far, feeling good and not missing the feelings mentioned by Tom
"I'm a mess, and I know you don't deserve it. You're the best, and I'm a pretty stupid person. Nonetheless, you try to help me 'cause i'm hurting. I confess, sometimes I feel like i'm not worth it. I don't drink, 'cause when i'm drunk, i'm a problem. I don't care who I hurt, I feel awesome. HOLY CRAP, IT'S EITHER JAIL OR A COFFIN, SOON ENOUGH I'MA BE AT ROCK BOTTOM." Hit me hard. Tom, you get it dog.
