This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My powers turned back on!
God bless you my friend for introducing me that that song!
Cool!
Tears down cheeks... yeah yeah yeah!
Inspired.
My suggestion
Broken girl by Matthew West.
Would like to keep this thread going.
I'm a huge music fan.
Playlists for my sober running on my iPod.
I'm back from a slip but going well.

Music in general.
I have extremely broad tastes. From the Police to Puccini. I love classic rock, classical, alternative, experimental, progressive, hip-hop, EDM....
Oddly enough happy music doesn't usually inspire me in sobriety. I've had a song stuck in my head that is musically very beautiful (with some great crunchy guitar riffs as well), but is about what was going on in the head of serial killer Fred West. It came up on Spotify during my Five to Six at the gym.
Listened to this a lot in rehab, partially because it was one of the few albums I had on a cheap MP3 player, and partially because I was struck how beauty can be found anywhere, including some very dark and scary places.
This represented sobriety to me. The bender leading up to rehab was horrible. If it continued I was going to die. I wanted to die. So I went to this scary place full of desperate, sad people trying to live again, and largely failing, and found beauty in life again. A beauty without drugs or drinking.
(Yes, I like a lot of weird and obscure music).

Doing the unstuck: The Cure.
It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats
And other dreary worlds you know
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for making out
To wake up with a smile without a doubt
To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump and sing and shout
Let's get happy!
But it's much to late you say
For doing this now
We should have done it then
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats
And other dreary worlds you know
Let's get happy!

Liars Bar by a British band called Beautiful South.
I've turned over enough leaves to fill an autumn
But if I had one final wish
I'd be your slave for a decade if you take me away from this pish
If you took me away from this I'd be different you see
Cos I didn't chose the drink, the drink choose me
