Lost my dad to alcoholism. Been an addict since 14. Now 27 and clean for 4 months. Did it for him. We were best Friends. I’ve been lost without him 💔 miss you Padre
Been clean on big drugs for 2 years brother, cold turkey it when my god daughter was born, keep going, when I almost relapsed after they took my god daughter I remembered my kids wouldn’t want a dead beat, ik I didn’t, you got this brother, things feel like you can’t do it just remember you got that shit, it’s all in your head brother, don’t hurt your heart for it.
I bet your dad's happy your finding yourself even if it's though him! Pain was never meant to be numbed by drugs and alcohol. Pain is meant to be felt and for us to understand meaning of things. I have and still do things to mask mine, but I'm finally figuring out that when we lose someone or something we care about that there's no reason to add more Pain to a situation that was already painful, but to take pain and turn it into beauty and understanding.
As someone who lost my dad to his battle with addiction, then inheriting those same coping mechanisms, this song hits so different. You're helping people like me heal out here Av. Much love broski.
I feel this too much, my dad was bad on dope for a while, one night a few days before Father’s Day he was drinking that night and apparently got ahold of some methadone and didn’t see the morning… my last words to him where I was too tired to hang out and didn’t have a cig to give him even though I did…. The last words he told me was I was turning into my mother…. I’m severely addicted to Mary Jane to help coupe but haven’t touched anything else tho luckily…. You aren’t alone brother I love you
Absolutely same. I lost him at 12 when he was 36 to alcohol (and maybe pills I'm not sure). He was still in love with my mom and couldn't take when she got with my stepdad. Begged for her back, wouldn't sign the divorce papers, the whole gambit. He was so addicted to alcohol at that point I honestly think quitting cold turkey would have killed him. One day he called her (right after I left from visiting him for Father's Day weekend) and told her "I need you to hear something." Those were his last words. The next thing my mom heard was the gunshot reverberating around the room. Now here I am at 33 drinking like crazy wondering if I'll beat his lifetime high score or if I'm destined for the same end. I've done so much better lately, I think I have a good leash on my demon but I only do it for him and my family. HONESTAV speaks to my heart in ways no other artist has been able to capture. RIP Dad, 9/23/66 - 6/22/03 RIP
Same here dude. Dad drank himself to death, and heroin was mine but now fentanyl has a grip on my soul. I hope that all of us who are relating to this can find peace and happiness. I dont know you, but I just want you to know that if you feel like no one else does; I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE IMPORTANT
My brother would have related so much to your music. Unfortunately he lost his battle with addiction after numbing himself from losing my dad to his battle. So now I find comfort in your music.
I feel this. My brother went first though, 3 days before the 2 year anniversary of my big bros loss I found my dad. Nothing numbs better than what I lost them to
This is real talent. Your music speaks to the soul. As an addict from a long line of addicts I feel like he knows exactly what I have felt all my life. Happy to say the cycle stops with me and I have been clean and sober for almost 4 years and my kids won’t know this kind of heartbreak.
Id rather Overdose has been the first and last song I listen to every day since you dropped it. Thanks for all the good vibes and helping us reminisce on good times. Keep doin you bros!
You speak directly to your fan base in words we relate to. Millions of us are addicts, are in recovery, or love some who is. Keep it up brother. We need you!!!
Bro over the last few months youve helped me so much mentally my girl is dealing with cronhs and ovarian cysts and it's been a battle watching her pain as it gets worse. The pain I feel eats away at my soul so I can only imagine hers. I can only say thank you for not letting us feel alone in these emotions I worry everyday I'm going to lose her to this battle.
Seriously!!!!!!! I found my mom fucking dead age 54 in her sleep 11 yrs ago when I was only 25. It fucked me up forever. I walked out her house with the same bottle that killed her. I've now been 7 yrs clean on herion and opioids and hard drugs. I miss her every fuckinggggg day. My youngest son ax was only 6months old and my oldest Riley her heart boy was 2 1/2.
im 2 months sober right now from a 28 year alcohol heroin and crack addiction!!! and the last month has been the best ive felt in my whole life, im such a better farther and husband right now that ive ever been to my wife and 3 beautiful kids, its really the best thing i have done for myself and my family, you can do this my friend you really can.
Keep going it gets better as you go. I've been clean for 5 yrs off Heroin, speed, and whatever pills. I even quit smoking cigs. I know your wife and kids appreciate you being there mentally
This makes me so thankful my dad won his battle with addiction, I love my dad with everything inside of me. My dad is honestly my best friend, I’m so glad he stopped the drugs. He chose us over pills and I thank god every day he did
Omg every song I’ve heard him speak is my life!!! I’m so sorry you had had to endure all this heartbreak from your family but thank you for putting it into words. Much love man ❤
I lost my dad when I was 20 and just suffered my first heart break since then. My daughter is your biggest fan and showed me this song....Thank you ❤❤❤❤
I have never had music resonate with my entire life the way yours does. If all else I am so thankful for TikTok because I found your music. I know this life is so hard. Thank you for sharing your music with people like me, it really helps us feel.. not so alone.
Claw and kick to get outta this hole!!!! I feel that on a spiritual level! You are amazing and I hope the whole world sees what we all see in u. Hope u blow all the way up this year!
I really needed this, I lost my dad 7 years ago and Father’s Day is this Sunday & I need him more than ever and this song made me not feel so alone thank you🥺
Makes me Miss my Grandma who was more of a mother than my real mom to me. But she struggled with addiction and it took her in the end. Not a day goes bye that I don’t miss her and wish I could have 5 min with her .Your songs are amazing so glad I found you they hit very deep very Relatable…
Thank you for expressing yourself to us. We appreciate the connections we have with you and your experiences. Stay safe. Be good and try to be happy. We love you.
hearing this makes me happy i’m 9 months sober finally, hope i don’t fall deep again🖤. love to all the family’s, friends, siblings we have lost to this battle 🫡🫡
In 2008 i lost my brother. Valium & any drink i could get my hands on (although jim beam was my favorite) became my only concern. This song back then would have been so dope. Thank you. ❤️
Man, having struggled with what seems like the same profound issue of losing my father young to his addiction and finding myself In addiction as well as a side effect to loss your music always seems to reach right into my soul and bring out emotions and thoughts I've struggled to find and accept and attempt cope with I consider myself very fortunate to still be here and to of had someone turn me onto your art, man what I would do to just sit down and have a conversation with ya and see what it's all like for your point if view. It's all very beautifuly raw and a lot of artists don't have that real emotion to their work it's amazing man. Thank you for being here and sharing your art with the world
Now this is perfect timing. My old man was an abuser of lots of things. Tried getting clean but he didn't make it, and it's very true, they don't make pills for heartbreak.
Sitting her thinking about the fallen men in my life that should be here for thei kids. Rip Bobby, Brandon, dom i love ya. Broke my almost 3 years no alcohol this evening just got alot on my mind. This song hit hard. Sorry you lost your dad man. I never had one and that messes with me peace be with you brother.
Loving this! Every song so far put out, even the ones on TikTok that are only verses are incredible!! More people need to hear this! So f*cking happy I found this dude!! Can’t wait to hear more!!
😢 bawling my eyes out down the highway hearin this song for the first time. How are you always doing this to me, bro? Really remind me that we aren’t alone though.❤
Lost my dad to alcoholism. Been an addict since 14. Now 27 and clean for 4 months. Did it for him. We were best Friends. I’ve been lost without him 💔 miss you Padre
Keep up the fight brother,shit is rough, but I have faith in us
Proud of you. And know your dad is too. Also lost my dad who battled alcoholism. I've been clean 19 months now.
What a way to honor your dad. Keep it up it’s worth it in every way, I’ve been there and never going back either!
Been clean on big drugs for 2 years brother, cold turkey it when my god daughter was born, keep going, when I almost relapsed after they took my god daughter I remembered my kids wouldn’t want a dead beat, ik I didn’t, you got this brother, things feel like you can’t do it just remember you got that shit, it’s all in your head brother, don’t hurt your heart for it.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who can relate to this. But it also sucks that we have to go through it. Grief is ineffable.
This one was deep. Thank you for putting some people's pain into a song. This is so real, goosebumps.... 😢
