    7 years ago, I committed to going to rehab , I didn't know when I got in , all i knew was something had to change . I had almost lost my wife and daughter , finally, I get the call , 8 or so months later . We can take you next wednesday .by now, my wife is 8 months pregnant with our second child ,my son . my addiction was telling me you need to be here for the birth , don't go . But my heart was telling me I wouldn't be there for any of it if I didn't go to rehab. So I told them I would be there next Wednesday. My son was born Monday, June 6th, 2016 . I've been clean since June 8th, 2016, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. The first time I heard this song was a couple of months after treatment , and saw it through my children's eyes and knew I was never going back

    I was addicted to alcohol for 24 years. I had mental health issues and I used alcohol to wash away all the pain. I basically abandoned all my kids.

      My dad did a similar thing to me, she still loves you, she just doesn't want to be hurt again... Its Been 6 years since I've seen or talked to my dad and there's times where I want to reach out and want to see him, but even though I'm grown, I can't bring myself to do it, out of fear of losing him again. I recently just found out he had liver failure due to excessive drinking and it made it even harder to not reach out but that just showed me that he hadn't changed and I feel guilty everyday for not speaking to him, and ik he feels guilty for not being in my life, but when it comes down to it, one persons happiness is another's demise. And I don't want to be his demise. So I want to thank you for giving me the courage to reach out to my father and I hope your daughter comes around some day. It's hard man... but all we need is some inspiration, even if it is from some CZcams comment.

    Please don't feel emberressed. I'm a father of 2 (almost 3 in February!), my mom (and dad) is an alcholic, still alive but we are not talking. It gave me and my an infinite amount of trauma's which we are still coping with because of the physical en mental abuse. I cry every time I am alone listening to this. I know it's hard to show this kind of feelings and I probably couldn't. But please don't feel ashamed showing it. The more sincere you are, the more I relate. Thank you for releasing me, I'm someone watching everyone react to NF, that's how I found you, just so you know.

    I found this song a few years ago, shortly after my mom committed suicide by overdose. She was battling with drugs for a long time, alongside being in an abusive relationship. Her relationship made her "lose" all of her kids, and after years of in and out of rehab, she had enough. She gave her apologies to us via voice mail and phone call, and the day after, I received a phone call from my grandma crying tell me that she "died in her sleep." She was like 48.

    When I was 4 years old and my sister was 3 MONTHS old she walked out on us I guess someone promised her a better life than what she already had. My dad never told me this. I had to see it for my self as she came back periodically to ruin our lifes every time. I remember she would show up for Christmas after like 2 years of not seeing her. She would bring presents and leave the same night like she was some kind of santa. I was only 8 that day but I learned that nothing could keep her from leaving not tears not begging nothing. So yeah those lines in that song hit hard but I powered through that just like my old man. In the end it was all good though I had a Strong Dad, a good man, my childhood Hero. He thought me to always be a kind person, helped those in need, to stay strong and to never ever once disrespect my mother for she is the one who gave birth and life to me. The courage Dany shows everytime remindas me of my Dad, they are so warm-hearted, its amazing and the same goes for you my friend!!! Thankx for sharing STRONG DAD!!

    Strong opening for 2023 my friend. Perhaps I should not comment here on this because I have not suffered from addiction, nor has addiction affected my life. I'm commenting though because this song is so full of anger, of feelings of betrayal and loss. As you know, I lost my wife Terry of almost 30 years together this past May after fighting cancer for over a year. So I know something about loss and fighting for life against all odds. My reaction to this is about letting go of the anger. Addiction is a disease. It takes control of, quite literally, your life. The person with the disease is struggling to survive and not die. Don't be angry with the loved one. They didn't choose to betray you. Remember unconditional love and do as much as you can to strengthen your loved one who is suffering. In the end, it is their strength that affects their survival. I know cancer isn't addiction. But love is love and you know what you need to do. I didn't cry to this reaction, and I cry at almost every emotional thing now. I think it is because of the anger. I hope NF heals and chooses to re-release this song again in the future only this time with his obvious love, and loss, but without the anger. Peace.

I'm a 6'1 220lb muscular vet, but these songs just hit you in different ways, and if you don't get at least a little emotional then you are not human.

I can now PROUDLY say I'm 3 yrs sober. I know the damage I caused my child can't be undone but fight each day to try and make up for it. I know my daughter is proud of me...she has told me this and I'm proud of her for being a better mom than I was. This is battle that I will fight forever. I just recently learned that every single person that I used to buy my drugs from has died of an overdose and I realized that it could of EASILY been me also. I thank the Lord for giving me a 2nd chance at life. I have actually died (not from drugs but a brain aneurysm) when I was dead I was toldnit wasn't my time yet.

    NF is my absolute favorite rap artist ever! It use to be Eminem, but now I found NF 3 years ago and haven't looked back. He is an excellent artist...believe me. There is something called NF the journey. Google that and consider doing the whole journey. It's quite emotional at times, raw, gritty, but all of it ia all about his life. He had quite a difficult childhood because of his parents splitting up and his Mom's addiction. She died when Nate was 18.
    NF is his initials., Nathan (Nate) Feuerstein, pronounced Fire-steen. He is from Michigan and his biggest influence is Eminem beings that he is also from Michigan. He is 31 years old, married and they have a 17 month old boy. So, now he is a father and life has come full circle for him. Well, I could go on forever, but I don't want to bore you. Lol
    I cry at this song every time I gear it and I've probably heard it 100 times at least.
    I sure hope you consider doing the journey. Great reaction and I loved your emotion and vulnerability in this.

    Imagine losing your mother to pills when you are 11...fast forward 10 years to the darkest part of your life and find this song for the first time, listen to it before work and thinking it was going to be about a girlfriend leaving....one of my favorite songs he's ever made. It helped healed so many scabs and wounds, truly wouldn't be here without this song in the world..

    I found Nate after i lost my dad to an overdose on Xmas Day 2018. I was lost. I was angry and felt like nobody could ever understand that pain. I was so angry at him. I also have a 4 yr old daughter and this song hit me so hard. No matter how many times I listen to it. I met NF at the Filmore in Denver a few years ago and we got to talk and he signed a pair of drumsticks for me. THIS is the reason us fans of his love him so much. THIS is what hip-hop is supposed to be. Poetry in motion. It's supposed to make you FEEL...to THINK! He reaches so many people bc we can relate to it, on an emotional and even spiritual level. Love these reactions man. Take this journey. The man is a lyrical genius.

    This song isn't a tearjerker, it straight up wrings it out of you. It's so hard to listen to because there is no resolution, only anguish, despair and anger.
    Such raw power

    I know I’m not one of the two you were talking to, but I needed to hear that. ❤ coming from two addict parents and a long line of addicts, my brother and I made it out and are changing generational trauma. It ends with us. We are both parents and we do everything we can for our kids to make sure they don’t know that life. It’s hard without the role models we should have had. Instead of a handbook on what we should be doing as parents, we have a handbook on what not to be. Thank you for such a raw and beautiful reaction. New subscriber here 👏🏻

    My mother is addicted to alcohol.
    My whole life, I was invisible to her. She never wanted me. The world revolves around my brothers. I don’t know why she’s addicted to alcohol, but I know that it was a constant battle, striving for her attention. When NF said “But I don’t need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing. Now a relationship is somethin’ we won’t ever have. But why do I feel like I lost something I never had?” It spoke volumes. She also never made it to my graduation, and about 4 years ago she chose alcohol over me, didn’t even waste a second thinking about her answer. I was never enough for her. This song, BROKE me.
    I have four children and I will never, ever expose them to alcohol or drugs. As a result of her neglect I am breaking the cycle and I’ll be a better mother than she’ll ever be. I just had my last baby and she doesn’t even know she has a new granddaughter.
    I hope whoever reads this knows that addiction sucks and as someone who watched it up close, someday, it will get better. ❤

    After I got out of the service I struggled with addiction. I’ve been to more rehabs then I can count and nothing was working. I couldn’t do anything but there is one person who could and his name is Jesus. I was delivered from addiction instantly and I’ve been free from it for 2 years. Praise Jesus

    As someone who's whole family has struggled with addiction from my dad, mom, brothers, all of us. I spent 7 yrs locked up from my family and my mom almost died just 3 months before i was getting out. That changed my life. I promised GOD if he would save her i would be a dif person. I know GOD doesn't make deals with us but i feel like he saved her so i have stood on that promise now for almost 10yrs. My mom is now drug free we have a great relationship and i will do what ever it takes to give her a better life then what we had in those years. Thank you for showing its ok for US men to cry.

    There hasn't been a single time that I've heard this song and not cried. I love how raw and real it is. I know it was so hard for him to record and I wish he never had to but I hope he knows how much his raw humanity and honesty about his life has brought so much to others. I know music is where he goes to get his emotions out but the world needs him. He's a treasure of a person.

    Yes this is actually a story about Nate which is NF by the way and also the crying that you heard during the music video is real, he did cry in the studio while trying to sing this song and put it in his music video
    This song just hits hard for just different reasons and every time I listen to it, it really hits me I just hope other people get through whatever there going through and hope they break through to realizing what there doing to the point they fight back and get better
