There are many songs for alcoholics and addicts...but what about us in Alanon and Naranon....these three songs are haunting.. thinking of our addicted wives, husbands, sons, and daughters.

Somebody else here mentioned Anna Nalick's Breathe a while back. Beautiful, and fitting. Also, drive by Incubus is one that speaks to me.

I always think of the Eagle's Hotel California. To me - it just resonates with my experience with addictions, from my perspective as well as an addict's perspective.

For me it was Blind Faith, "Can't find my way home". I played that song over and over.

Another was CruxShadows, "Winterborn".

finally "got it", and my life became wonderful again, this was my song.

I thought about this more last night and ended up with a pretty nice concert in my head (but little sleep). Ifwe want to encompass codependency as a whole, then pretty much anything by Lana del Rey. Especially "Off to the Races and Born to Die. Then there's the original "Love the Way You Lie" by Skyler Gray. Not that crap Rihanna and Eminem released. I'm on my phone, so if someone could find a link, that'd be great.

I managed to get on my laptop for a minute. Found the video for "Love the Way You Lie." "Love The Way You Lie" by Skylar Grey from a hotel room with a piano | Skylar Grey - YouTube
