Addiction songs
Hi everyone,
I've not posted for a while,
How are you all? Well I hope.
I've recently been listening to a lot of songs and reading a lot of books on addiction.
The song toy soldiers by Martika is very inspirational.
Here is a link to it.
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Here is also a link to what other peoples thoughts are about the lyrics to the song.

I agree Bruno that the song is inspirational and right on point. I loved the song when it first came out. I was a junior in college and in my 4th year of being addicted to alcohol (and a little addicted to a girl who kinda looked like Martika). I sure wish that the meaning of the song and the messages of addiction had more meaning for me back then rather than waiting another 23 years to have the strength to break free of mine.
Good post, it brings back lots of memories.

There's a whole thread (actually 2) on addiction songs in the recovery thread:

There are many great songs, but the one that first comes to my mind is Merle Haggard/Willie Nelson's Reasons to Quit.
Maybe there's also a list here of movies about alcoholism/addiction? So many good ones. Days of Wine and Roses, Requiem for a Dream, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf...

This one has always given me shivers and made me reflect on alcoholism (very temporarily anyway!)

Like a ghost don't need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me when I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
And I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, like a child
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I need
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear, everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
And if you're low, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

"I love myself today" by bif naked. Fun punk pop song. I imagine the "you" in the song to be alcohol.
I'm lookin' in the mirror and I like what I see:
I've lost the fear & the horror that's been eating at me
'Cause being with you is like a hangman's noose
I was living my life in dead man's shoes
