Here is a Terrific Rock Song about struggles with Alcohol
Most of this album was written with addiction struggles in mind but this song called "These Walls" by Dream Theater really hits home. What a great song and message.

Really good prog rock! Thanks for posting this ...
"Tear down these walls for me!
Stop me from going under!
You are the only one who knows I’m holding back!
It’s not too late for me
To keep from sinking further!
I’m trying to find my out—
Tear down these walls for me now."

It is worth noting that former drummer Mike Portnoy went public with his struggles with alcohol just after the tour in 2000. He went on to write what he called the Twelve Step Suite : Twelve-step Suite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These Walls was on the same album that Root of all Evil is on. Here are the lyrics below.
Thanks for the snippet Deckard!
This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing's getting through
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now)
So much uncertainty
I don't like this feeling
I'm sinking like a stone
Each time I try to speak
There's a voice I'm hearing
And it changes everything
Watch me,
Crawl from
The wreckage
Of my silence
Conversation
Failing
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Take down these walls)
Everytime you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait for you
One more time? [x2]
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
Falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now)
Tear down these walls for me
It's not too late for me
Tear down these walls for me
