Well this is another tune about my addiction and basically a lot like the others just different words you know that I know I have to do something about my problem and if I don't I could die I don't think anyone who hasn't been through it really knows what it's like, although they do have friends and family or you know someone that they know that is going or going through it. We all can have some empathy, and some compassion, for anyone that's in the throes of addiction. My Hope is that someday the world will recognize mental illness and how that precludes the addiction and be more cognizant, patient, and understanding of mental illness. It's too much prejudice against people with mental illness today. Now I'm not excusing anyone who commits crimes such as murder and things like that, and blame it on their mental addiction or mental illness. They are merely reasons but they're not excuses that can be excused. This song is also about being humble and giving back once you get sober. Someone like me who's been trying to get sober and stays over since I was 29, and I'll say it again I'll be 62 in March of 2022, my problem is never being humble enough to recognize that I too can be blind to my addiction and my mental illness. Being humble, and then reaching out to help others, will help me carry on with a much more peaceful life.
