This may sound crazy, but...
I love this song Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra) - official video - YouTube (Gotye - Somebody that I used to know) and I relate it a lot to me quitting alcohol. With all the inspirational quotes and things going around, I thought I'd share that I find the lyrics of this song quite therapeutic.
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
(I imagine this next bit being 'alcohol' talking back to me quitting. See, I told you this might sound crazy!)
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
It makes me feel like, HA! Yes, you may have hurt me. But you're gone for good, it doesn't matter what you say to me.
Yup. Crazy..!

im from the uk and theres a song that goes along the lines of RIP to the girl i used to be, her days are over etc etc. its not about death for people that havnt heard it, its about someone living a life they didnt want to live and changed their ways and everytime i hear it, it always gives me hope that i can get rid of the old me and start afresh as a new peson once iv stopped drinking.
