Sobriety song

To the moderators: I am posting the clean, censored version.

I'm a huge Eminem fan. And throughout his career, he's always rapped about what was going on with him. Including his addiction problems. He got treatment and is clean, and this song is a reflection of that.

The following verse is how I feel now. I do get creative with my interpretations. Whenever he talks about something that's against him, his opponents, I think about alcohol.

I wanted to share this for two reasons.

First, the energy is what I'm feeling against alcohol. At times. Mostly I don't even think about it, but this verse does reflect part of my attitude.

The second reason is, well, you know how you can have a song in your head? I had this one in my head and realized I'm tough as nails. That may sound weird, but let me explain.

Before I got sober, and a period after that, I was a very weak person. I worked on myself and still am. And today I realized that I've gotten really strong. Tough as nails is a nice expression to describe it. And I'm getting stronger continuously.

So, with that explanation in your head, you'll probably understand how this verse is my sobriety song for now:
