thomas11, I had the same problem in early recovery. Certain songs and certain musicians simply would make me want to drink, so I had to go without music for weeks, which was a bit of a problem, as besides from being used to listening to music while drinking I was also used to listening to music while working. Music can certainly be a powerful trigger.

However, when I got a little bit better, I started to listen to music, but first I decided that if it would make me want to drink, I'd stop immediately. I took it one step at a time, and nowadays I can listen to any music without craving for alcohol – I can even listen to songs that used to be my "drinking songs".
