    The thing is, you can “medicate” yourself with anything. Some people over eat, some people zone out with movies, video games, oversleep just to avoid the pain of life. Whatever you are struggling with whether it be an activity, drugs, or alcohol... just know, you can get through this!

    Lyrics anyone?
    Wake up to a cloudy day
    Dark rolls in and it starts to rain
    Staring out to the cage-like walls
    Time goes by and the shadows crawl
    Crushin' candy crushin' pills
    Got no job, mom pays my bills
    Textin' ex's get my fill
    Sweatin' bullets, Netflix-chills
    World's out there singin' the blues
    Twenty more dead on the evening news
    Think to myself "really, what's the use?"
    I'm just like you, I was born to lose
    Why oh why can't you just fix me?
    When all I want's to feel numb
    But the medication's all done
    Why oh why does God hate me?
    When all I want's to get high
    And forget this so-called life
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothin' to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    Can't wait to feel better than I ever will
    Attack that shit like a kid on Benadryl
    Chase it down with a hopeful smile
    Hate myself, if I can go for miles
    They say family's all you need
    Someone to trust can help you breathe
    Inhale that drug, but you start to choke
    You follow the outs of an inside joke
    Why oh why can't you just fix me?
    When all I want's to feel numb
    But the medication's all done
    Why oh why does God hate me?
    'Cause I've seen enough of it, heard enough of it, felt enough of it
    Had enough of it!
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Superman is a hero
    But only when his mind is clear though
    He needs that fix like the rest of us
    So he's got no fear when he saves that bus
    All the stars in the Hollywood Hills
    Snapchat live while they pop them pills
    All those flavors of the rainbow
    Too bad that shit don't work though
    Your friends are high right now
    Your parents are high right now
    That hot chick's high right now
    That cop is high right now
    The president's high right now
    Your priest is high right now
    Everyone's high as fuck right now
    And no one's ever coming down
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    I medicate
    Not even sure if I'm aloud to post the lyrics but here anyways ✌️😊

It's a struggle staying clean for me because so many people I know from my prior life want nothing more for me to do but get dirty with them. You got this. Just tell yourself everyday your clean and your going to stay clean.

      I started with oxy's, perc's, and benzo's and once the lady i got them from died and couldn't get them anymore i started snorting heroin and quickly evolved to shooting it. I died 3 separate times and was brought back and fell out about 10 times. Im very lucky but my sons mom, best friend, uncle, and about 20 other people I knew weren't. I was fucked up for about 12 years and 6 prison trips before I told myself enough is enough. I can now live my life without waking up sick and not knowing where my next fix is gonna come from. I'm 6 years clean, I have a great job, and I can walk around holding my head up high without people looking at me like I'm a piece of shit. Yes I take a suboxone pill everyday and some people say thats not being clean but I live a regular life and work a good job and pay my bill just like someone with depression who takes a prosac pill everyday. Im alive and I can smile when I look in the mirror, to me thats success.

      Congratulations man, I was never on heroin but I was on painkillers really bad. Anything with hydrocodone in it and I'd take it, got to where I was taking 10 plus a day like it was nothing. Took them everyday for 12 years, and that was the sickest I ever been in my life coming off them. I came off of them cold turkey, no rehab or nothing and still went to work everyday. It was the hardest thing I ever did, but I've been off them for a year now and I'm doing great! It was the absolute best decision I ever made, it took me losing my mom to realize that I needed to straighten up. She had been asking me to get clean for years, and I never would even try. So when she passed I decided I was gonna get clean for her, and tbh if it wasn't for me constantly telling myself that I'm doing it for my mom i don't think I would've ever got clean. Just stay strong bro, and just keep working on improving yourself. The battle has only just begun, it's a struggle everyday to stay clean. Best way I found to stay clean is to stay away from anybody that takes them, cause with u being around it u will eventually slip up and take one.

    I've listened to this song hundreds of times on CZcams but never read any of the comments. Today I did. I had to stop everything I was doing...I'm sitting down right now with tears in my eyes because of how inspirational all of your comments are. On June 30th I'm coming up on one year clean from just about any and everything but mainly abandoning my children. I'm proud to say that I have all of them with me in our own home and I'm getting ready for work...well was before I read these beautiful comments. My sobriety and my family is my world and I'm so happy for all of you who have also found a way out.

    Freakin love this song. Can definitely relate. Today marks 117 days sober for me. Had a bad problem for a little over a year with fentanyl. I’m lucky I was able to get myself into a 30 day treatment center when I did. Lord only knows if I’d still be here if I hadn’t gotten help when I did. I’ve struggled with drugs most of my teenage life. Started smoking weed around 12 to 13 years old e everyday, and then turned into doing my parents pain killers then started doing meth also used Xanax for a long time, pretty much did every drug you can think of and then the latest was the fentanyl. I’m just thankful to be off of everything now and to be living life on life’s terms instead of worrying about where my next high was going to come from. To anybody still struggling there is hope. You can do it!!!

    Opioids, the downfall of America. I got addicted to oxycodone and methadone in back in 2001 when it wasn't the epidemic that is is now. I was simply prescribed these medications by a doctor for back pain. If I had known then what I know now. Damn. After a 12 year addiction that almost destroyed my family, and numerous overdoses, I woke up on Oct, 25th, 2013 and told myself I was done. I never looked back. No rehab, no NA, nothing. I was just tired. I put the pills down and NEVER looked back. Rehab is USELESS unless you are ready to change. 5 years later, I feel better than I EVER have. If I can do it, ANYONE CAN.

    Wake up to a cloudy day
    Dark rolls in and it starts to rain
    Staring out to the cage-like walls
    Time goes by and the shadows crawl
    Crushin' candy crushin' pills
    Got no job, mom pays my bills
    Textin' ex's get my fill
    Sweatin' bullets, Netflix-chills
    World's out there singin' the blues
    Twenty more dead on the evening news
    Think to myself "really, what's the use?"
    I'm just like you, I was born to lose
    Why oh why can't you just fix me?
    When all I want's to feel numb
    But the medication's all done
    Why oh why does God hate me?
    When all I want's to get high
    And forget this so-called life
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothin' to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    Can't wait to feel better than I ever will
    Attack that shit like a kid on Benadryl
    Chase it down with a hopeful smile
    Hate myself, if I can go for miles
    They say family's all you need
    Someone to trust can help you breathe
    Inhale that drug, but you start to choke
    You follow the outs of an inside joke
    Why oh why can't you just fix me?
    When all I want's to feel numb
    But the medication's all done
    Why oh why does God hate me?
    'Cause I've seen enough of it, heard enough of it, felt enough of it
    Had enough of it!
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Superman is a hero
    But only when his mind is clear though
    He needs that fix like the rest of us
    So he's got no fear when he saves that bus
    All the stars in the Hollywood Hills
    Snapchat live while they pop them pills
    All those flavors of the rainbow
    Too bad that shit don't work though
    Your friends are high right now
    Your parents are high right now
    That hot chick's high right now
    That cop is high right now
    The president's high right now
    Your priest is high right now
    Everyone's high as fuck right now
    And no one's ever coming down
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate
    Medicate

      The only reason I ever did drugs was because I was bored. My boredom became a fun time and to impress people I did more and more things at a bigger and bigger pace. Coke subs molly crack heroine painkillers weed shit anything that got me high. I loved fentanyl and I'm only 22 years old and have fucked up teeth. You think it's all fun and games in the moment. You feel like king shit when your able to speed ball for 5 days straight no sleep without over dosing but yeah in the end people do drugs out of boredom. They find their own reasons for continuing hiding pain or whatever but at the end of the day they started because they were bored.

    I can't listen to this song without tears in my eyes, singing it aloud (off key as F), cranking it as loud as it can go without busting my speakers, or all of the above. This song is the anthem of anyone who has battled with addiction, win or lose. I've won a couple of battles with addiction and I'm fighting a hard one right now after breaking my neck in a car accident last year. I will win this battle thanks to songs like this and encouragement from stories like the comments before and after mine. A Nashville artist named Jelly Roll has an album called 'Addiction Kills' and it's a MUST LISTEN for anyone struggling with addiction. Music can help heal, it's the best way to medicate... PERIOD.

    I really love this song, and I remember the first time I ever heard it. We (my hubby, our son, and our son's fiancee) were driving back to our hometown for some kind of family thing and the song came on the radio. I didn't start catching the lyrics until halfway through the song and it was like a ton of bricks. This song is, quite literally, my "hometown anthem" because it describes the daily life of pretty much everyone I know from back home. That's also why we left ( we moved to the beach, got a good jobs, and we've been down here for over a decade and love life immensely)...because we were sick of heading down that path and watching our friends go that direction, too.

    Wow I scrolled like crazy and no lyrics in comments.. I got this people.
    Wake up to a cloudy day
    Dark rolls in and it starts to rain
    Staring out to the cage-like walls
    Time goes by and the shadows crawl
    Crushin' candy crushin' pills
    Got no job, mom pays my bills
    Textin' ex's get my fill
    Sweatin' bullets, Netflix-chills
    World's out there singin' the blues
    Twenty more dead on the evening news
    Think to myself "really, what's the use?"
    I'm just like you, I was born to lose
    Why oh why can't you just fix me?
    When all I want's to feel numb
    But the medication's all done
    Why oh why does God hate me?
    When all I want's to get high
    And forget this so-called life
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothin' to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    Can't wait to feel better than I ever will
    Attack that shit like a kid on Benadryl
    Chase it down with a hopeful smile
    Hate myself, if I can go for miles
    They say family's all you need
    Someone to trust can help you breathe
    Inhale that drug, but you start to choke
    You follow the outs of an inside joke
    Why oh why can't you just fix me?
    When all I want's to feel numb
    But the medication's all done
    Why oh why does God hate me?
    'Cause I've seen enough of it, heard enough of it, felt enough of it
    Had enough of it!
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Superman is a hero
    But only when his mind is clear though
    He needs that fix like the rest of us
    So he's got no fear when he saves that bus
    All the stars in the Hollywood Hills
    Snapchat live while they pop them pills
    All those flavors of the rainbow
    Too bad that shit don't work though
    Your friends are high right now
    Your parents are high right now
    That hot chick's high right now
    That cop is high right now
    The president's high right now
    Your priest is high right now
    Everyone's high as fuck right now
    And no one's ever coming down
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate)
    I am so freakin' bored
    Nothing to do today
    I guess I'll sit around and medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    Medicate
    I medicate
