That's Why I'm Here

This is a song by Kenny Chesney about alcoholism but any one addicted to any substance can really identify with it.

I love Kenny Chesney.I don't know the song,but I'm going to look for it.When I was on my  first couple of days of withdrawl I sat down and his song Don't Blink came on the television, it gave me such inspiration.I kinda related my addiction to a really long blink.Thanks for the post.Peace.

Oh I love that song, Don't Blink!! It makes you really think. Are you going to see him at Heinz Field in June?

I think the other song is on the I Will Stand CD.

I know what song your are talking about.. Before I became addicted, my ex husband was an acholic and I heard that song and it just made me cry now I listed to it and it is me... It is weird how life changes.

Same here. I've been with my husband for 11 years ,he's a recovering alcoholic 3 years clean,I've been an addict for about 3 years.There is a song called 'The Good Stuff',that used to remind me of him when he was drinking.If I would have heard this one back then I  would have thought of him,but today when I listened all I thought is thats me.It is weird.
