    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.

I thought of "Best Rapper Ever." It's amazing how a guy so young can be so "Wise Beyond his Years." Thank you again

    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!!!

    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!

    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! ❤

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.

I don't know you but you're in my thoughts addiction is hard. A Lot of people say it is simple to stay sober and guess what they are right but its not easy to stay sober it is nothing but hard work every second of every day. It does get easier as time goes on. 15 years clean!

    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.

      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.

      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. ❤

    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.

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.
