This weekend, I wrote a post for KLEN and SOBR talking about how music has helped my recovery. Click here to ready it (don’t laugh, the music proves I’m a 30-something white guy).
It was fun to share my personal sobriety soundtrack. That music has been with me every day of this fight.
There’s also a dark side to music.
My depression and addiction had its own soundtrack. A few chords or a stray lyric from those songs and I’m imagining life in the gutter.
Today, I decided to face a few of those demons and make a playlist of those old drinking songs too.
I’d love to hear from you. Do you have certain songs that trigger your old addiction mindset (or even full-blown cravings)?
