I know this sounRAB corny, but does anyone else have any songs that just make you feel stronger about what we're all going through? I love the song "stand" by rascall flatts and theres another one called "cowgirls don't cry" that just speaks to my situation so perfectly! I cry every time i hear either one of them ( ironic, huh? LOL) They're both country music....all i really listen too, but if anyone else has some suggestions i'd love to hear them! I've also noticed I'm enjoying music again more now...I didn't listen much while I was using. Now theres a weird side effect of drug use, huh?

"Only the Names" by Machine Head

please, please anyone who's ever battled addiction hear this one.
Read the lyrics 1st though, this is powerful stuff very well-written.
I get chills & tear up every time i listen to it.
 
Rascal Flatts - 'I'm movin' on" is a great tune regarding recovery.

I used this song in Rehab. Listened to it about 25 times a day, and also shared it with my group when it was my turn for meditation. Every morning, at check-in, one person would be in charge of meditation. It could be a song, a poem,10 mins of silence - just as long as it was going to help the group meditate.

Well, when I played my song, everyone had tears in their eyes. In fact, one lady had to leave the room - it was too powerful/emotional for her to handle(she had just lost her sister the day she arrived at Rehab - she overdosed). She left Rehab for one day to attend the funeral and requested the artist/song name from me, so I walked to the mall that day and purchased a CD for her to take, so she didn't have to worry about finding it. Her family agreed with her - that was her funeral song. I felt very blessed that I could help her family out with just a simple song. Wow, this song is to powerful.

Have a listen to it - let me know what you think :)

Sincerely,
emsmom

P.S. "Stand" is a very lovely song - I can see why you can relate to it. I can too :)
 
starting to think Machine Head's entire album "Supercharger" was written by recovering addicts:

the song "kick you when you're down":
 
"One good year" by Slaid Cleaves

A lot of us here could use 1 good year, huh? Worth a listen....
