Lyrics:
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted
Repeat the cycle everyday I gotta start with a drink
My life been getting sorta crazy and I donāt wanna think
I look myself right in the mirror and I donāt even blink
Then I get angry take the rest and pour it right in the sink
I know where this road goes
alcohol aināt my friend but i keep drinking cause these demons roam and follow me round everywhere I go
it clouds my mind and soul
it turns my heart cold
but I keep drinking cause it makes me feel like Iām not alone
I having problems my pride wonāt let me reach out
Looking at this bottle having nothing but doubt
Donāt wanna drink but it keeps coming around and around and around
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted
ELLE KING:
Another morning when my memories wavy
don't hate me I got to faded again
I try to fight it but the loneliness breaks me
can you blame me
the bottles been my friend
its gotta be sadistic
or maybe masochistic
everynight I just stay twisted
cause the only ones that listens
is that sativa endo
patron and casimagos
i didnt mean to, but I need to
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted
I know I need to quit
I gotta do better
Example to these kids
Cause theyāre watching when Iām there
But Iām scared
Cause I been chasing the man that I am when I start to drink
Heās cocky confident and he donāt give a damn what you think
This world is beating me down and itās
pushed me right to brink
I take a shot every time because man it helps me escape
Iām taking care of these people but no one takes care of me
I want to talk to somebody but I feel no one relates
I need I better now
I think Iāve lost my way
Iām having battles with faith
Itās painted right on my face
I hope better times are coming
No chase but Iām still running
I gotta take control
And I wonāt stop for nothing
Dear God this is my test
Promise that Iāll do my best
Just help with this pain I feel and pressure that is on my chest
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didnāt wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til Iām someone I donāt recognize
I got wasted

Dax is the reason that I'm alive and sober today. I heard a clip of this from tiktok, then came here....i broke down crying on my knees with a bottle of Bacardi in my hands shaking. I heard it April 25 2023 and checked into rehab the next day after pouring out the bottle. I'm over the 9 month hurdle now. Thank you Dax, this song saved me.

ā¤ā¤ā¤ I'm 100% positive this song is the reason I was able to end my 22 year struggle with alcohol. 163 days sober today.

Dear Dax,
On your last video I wrote you and I had just lost my brother to addiction.
On this video, I just lost my other brother within hours of writing this.
Why do I tell you this?
Because I go to your song and I just listen to it over and over and over because it helps me drown out the noises of the fucking demons that never leave me alone.
I am so grateful for you and for your music, I truly thought I was the only person who felt this way until I saw your videos. They help me. Iām still sober, Iāve got over four years now and I think the way I will honor my brothers passing is by loving people as much as he did. Iām truly grateful for your music I really am.

Can we give a hand to Elle King as well? Her voice was just as impactful as Dax and so often the person singing in the back chorius gets shafted of the credit especially when it comes to women and mental health

I started drinking at the age of 20... now I'm 27 and was an alcoholic..It's because of this song that turned to God... I changed my habits of drinking everyday... I woke up one day while drinking and came across the original song sang by Dax (Dear Alcohol) listened to every word in it and said to myself "Its time for a change" and from that day I quit drinking (sure the withdrawals was painful) but I prayed, get counselling etc... now I'm sober and don't want anything to do with alcohol...

Im a father of 2 boys and a wife of over 20 years. The struggles of everyday life weigh heavy on our shoulders. We push to work day in and day out to support our families. Depression sets in and there's no one to turn to. Life is overwhelming but we push through. I tip my hat to those husband and fathers that dedicate their lives to supporting their families emotionally and financially whole heartedly.

As a recovering Addict and alcoholic, I've been clean and sober for 7 years, but I burst into tears within the first 30 seconds of this song. Not from sadness but from gratefulness because I've had the strength to beat these demons. I Hope and pray for all of those facing these challenges to be able to rise up above them and conquer your sobriety. Awesome work DAX you really are a living legend.

Thank you Dax for being with us while we work through this. While Iām only 16, my father is recovering alcoholic who is getting better. But Iāve Witnessed him be so drunk that he couldnāt remember anything the next day. Itās been 2 weeks or so since he started to recover, while he was an alcoholic for 3 years or so, he scared me so much that I canāt drink. I wonāt. I donāt want to be an angry drunk and donāt want to find out. Maybe one day I will drink, but for now, my mind is set on not drinking. But this song helps with everything DAX. As you are here for us, we are here for you!!! Much love DAX šš»šš»

Why don't songs like this get air time on the radio? There are people out here that need to hear they're not alone. It doesn't always help for it to be the people we know telling us. Sometimes, it hits hardest when you hear it while you're alone, thinking no one knows or cares.

The music that radio stations should actually be playing.

I'm coming up on 2.5 years of sobriety. Getting sober was the best decision I ever made. It wasn't easy for a knucklehead like me. I had to do the work. It's been one hell of a ride. And my life today is freaking awesome. Thank God I surrendered when I did. I was losing the battle. It takes what it takes. And it took a lot. Cars, friends, family, and a beautiful house, but worst of all, it took my sanity. Unfortunately, relapse was a part of my story.
I have learned that I had to go through it.
All of it.
I can't.
He can.
So, I think I will let him.
Great song. Thanks for being part of my recovery.ā¤
