Something I recommend (if it hasn't been posted already) is hearing Johnny Cash's version of Hurt (originally by Nine Inch Nails) - as well as a couple of songs from the final Johnny Cash album, like I Came to Believe. I drank through these, while knowing I needed to stop, hopefully someone will catch on more quickly than I did (but I reckon these songs gave me a slow start):

Hurt

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
