this song is a freakin classic

This song speaks to me as someone who's completely hit rock bottom with alcohol. It's such a bitch to kick even though you see your life spiraling out of control. It was on my radio every night home from my A/A meetings for the first three months I was sober. Brings a lump to my throat every time I hear it.

Hope you're still sober, man! Cheers.
