“It’s been awhile since could stand on my own two I was homeless and alone, now I’m in university, have a home, and full custody of my kids ❤️❤️...this song is my life.

[gurdenator]

As an addict in recovery this song hits me hard. Coming up 6 months clean what a journey its been so far

I remember laying in my bedroom when I was 18 and listening to this song. I just turned 40 a few days ago. It's crazy how fast life goes by. It's also crazy how much this song still resonates with me although for completely different reasons now.

[kornfreak]

Metal singer or Country singer... I'll always like Aaron's voice. The dude has massive talent.

[redwhiteblue]

I cannot blame this on my father, he did the best he could for me. What a powerful fucking line

[chepecho]

Crap I was in my early twenties when I heard this song.... I'm almost 40... Time goes fast.
Real music kids.

[Aaron-qhhr]

If you hear someone say, "It's been awhile, " and you don't immediately start singing this song, you definitely missed out on real music.

11 days clean off drugs and alcohol. This song hits home for me. I always loved this song and it was for a reason. It's been a while since I could hold my head up high

[americansmark]

I just realized his neck tat says "Don't Tread On Me". Aaron truly wears his beliefs. Mad respect.

[duval]

His voice in concert sounds exactly as his record, it is very rare today to hear a voice like his.

[missmandyland]

20 years STILL my absolute favorite song.

[ViolaOkemaysim]

Been crying for over 2 hrs missing my best friend my husband of over 23 yrs he was murdered on march 24 2023 I miss him so much

[Colin.W]

Those big feelings of being a teenager.
I miss those summers.

[o_g_jasinz]

Just recently put down the bottle. I'm bi-polar. Shouldn't have been drinking at all, but spent from age 19-33 drinking everyday. I'm tired of depression. I've lost almost all my friends to fentynol now, including my first wife. Our daughter deserves to have me at my best. I've been a drunk for too long and I've been angry at myself for too long. It's time to stand up and be better for my 3 kids, my mother and my wife. The only ones who really care about me. They deserve me at my best as they stood by me at me worst.

Sunday will make 3 weeks sober for me.

I'm 41 and served in the U.S.MC from 94 to 04 did 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan and would have still been serving had I not been injured. I tried to live my entire life trying to prove my family wrong as to not turn out like my parents who weren't very good people to say the least. So I always worked hard to exceed in everything I did after 40 years I got caught up in an addiction and I will beat that because that's what I have to do. My family the people who are supposed to be a supportnsystem for you look at me like they were right all along. Just want Aaron to know it's his music that has gotten me through the best and most definitely the worst of times. You have kept me motivated yet humble throughout my life starting at 17. So for that I am eternally grateful and will always support you and your music as your music has supported me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Will Roberts

I was a teenager in 97 at a 311 concert and smoked weed with a tobacco wrap with friends, never used tobacco and nicotine sent me into an anxiety attack I got disoriented and went over to the EMT they brought me back stage to chill and Aaron was there with his old band he came over to check on me and make sure I was doing ok. I always remember that, such a genuine dude. God bless you brother.

[bradweinbrand]

If you have or had issues with addiction, this song is beyond powerful.

[Harvesttimebluegrassgospel]

He doesn’t just sing a song he paints a story and takes you there as he sings. Something very few people can do.

[ID-lcjm]

After all these years that man still feels and connects with every word. Barely opens his eyes. It's beautiful.
