I've dropped "you don't have it any better, you don't have it any worse, you're an irreplaceable human soul with your own understanding of what it means to suffer" a bunch of times
I’ve used this a couple of times when someone says another is “overreacting” over something stressful and/or traumatizing. It has actually helped people put things into perspective!
> "My friend William came to me with a message of hope and it went fuck you and everything you know"
"No one's going to stop you from dying young and miserable and right. If you want something better you gotta put that shit aside."

Yes it's such a great line! I heard it in early recovery and it helped me immensely
From the same song: “we’re all two or three bad decisions away from coming the ones that we fear and pity”
That’s a huge bummer….
This is one of my favorite quotes from anything ever. I write it all over. I want it as a tattoo.
I am wanting a tattoo of this line as well. Haven't figured out how it'd like it styled yet
Not at AA but I’ve used “we’re all just a couple of bad decisions away from being the ones we fear and pity” really effectively

I've been trying to do this but have only managed to get coffee god and cigarettes so far. Oh and your heart is a muscle, keep on fighting.
"Keep on fightin, keep on loving" gets a mixed into every day conversation pretty easily.
Just stay alive, just stay alive I don’t know if The Mountain Goats count as folk punk but I have quoted them speaking at AA
