I don't know what I would do without music. In early recovery it has saved my life. Now, there are songs that remind me of the bad days, put chills up my back and really make me sick rather than make me want to use.

Find some new music, when I first got sober here is what I listened to..... Kings of Leon, Godsmack-Serenity, Pink-Sober, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin-I will not Bow....those are some good songs that I could relate to at the time because I will not bow to drugs, how can I feel this good sober, I need serenity and I could use somebody! Those were constantly playing in my ears. When my husband got on my nerves I put the MP3 in my ear, when my grandmother bothered me I put it in my ears. It was my escape.

So, I say try it. Something different because it made me feel that powerful feeling but in a different way. It made me strong against my addiction. If I felt like using I would turn it on and sing to myself that I will not bow to you, I will not break. Just try it.
