  I'm seven months clean after almost four years of shooting heroin. My girlfriend of three years was unable to quit, and died of a heart infection three months ago. She was 23, with a 4 year old daughter. I remain clean, but struggle with suicidal ideation every single night and most days. However, I go off the street, and work a full time job. My music has been on the radio four weeks in a row, and I'm recording again. There is hope. You are more powerful than you can imagine.

  My dad died an alcoholic/drug user when I was 16 when I close my eyes I hear his voice singing this song. My dad wasn't perfect but he was my dad. ❤️

  I lost my brother to heroin over 20 years ago when I was 14. I cried deeply tonight and I’m grateful I did - proper release. I love you John.

  My brother died in 1997 and I avoided this song for over 20 years. &nbsp;I heard an Irish man sing it on karaoke whilst on holiday and it broke my heart but also filled it with joy..<br>I had to speak to him and tell him my story, me and the Irish man have been friends ever since.<br><br>Jason Kearney fae Dublin is that guy. .❤
