"Dope Hat" and "Don't Like the Drugs, But the Drugs like Me" by Marilyn Manson
"We Used to Vacation" by Cold War Kids
"15" by Marilyn Manson, but that could be because I used to listen to it while I got F'd up.
this line always struck me "if you don't know what forever feels like, I'll show you what it feels like without it." That pretty much sums up how I felt when I was killing myself with drugs and booze.

Mine are weird. Nirvana (lots of them) and these newish songs by John Mayer. The John Mayer songs were what listened to when sh!t got real for me recently. One is really on point. Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey - So me walking around NY just lost as a person. The other is called Born and Raised - for when I was feeling a slight bit of hope creep in.

"Down Where the Drunkards Roll"
"I'll Regret It All In the Morning"
and "God Loves a Drunk"
All by Richard Thompson of the band Fairport Convention, who--to my knowledge--hasn't drank for decades, if he even ever did to excess.

Loudon Wainwright III:
"Central Square Song"
"Drinking Song"
Fairport Convention: "Ye Mariners All"
The singing starts at 2:30. This is actually more of a celebratory sea shanty.
Oh, ye mariners all, as you pass by
Call in and drink if you are dry
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this
Oh, ye mariners all, if you've half a crown
You're welcome all for to sit down
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this
Oh, ye gentlemen all, as you pass by
Call in and drink if you are dry
Call in and drink, think naught amiss
And pop your nose in a jug of this
And now I'm old and can scarcely drawl
Have an old grey beard and a head that's bald
Fell my desire, fulfil my bliss
A pretty girl and a jug of this
Oh, when I'm in my grave and dead
And all my sorrows are past and fled
Transform me then into a fish
And let me swim in a jug of this
Oh, ye mariners all, as you pass by
Call in and drink if you are dry
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this
