Do you have any songs that help you not want to do drugs?

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I figure it's right because it's about helping yourself get past addiction.

Anyway, when I have a craving and I can't get it, I listen to some songs and they make it go away.

Like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmijKjosplM

I don't know why it works. Maybe because it mixes the want for drugs with a sad feeling? I don't know, but maybe there are songs that will work for you.
I just wrote this to give advice to anyone who's looking for it.
 
That a perfect song, sends chills down my spine listening to it.

Read the actual book too, it awesome.

I don't really have songs that turns me off of drugs IN FACT, god , I have so many songs that reminds me of drugs. I can hardly listen to Happy Hardcore Trance without being reminded of E. Those days were so mess up.

What about, Lou Reed - Perfect Day. I know it triggers people into using H, but for me, that song just uncover the true monster that Heroin is. Lou so happy in the song, of course he was high as a kite. I think David Bowie produced it tho.

" You made me forget myself, I thought I was someone else, someone good."


Its only been a week but my god, I miss you oxycontin. Argh

A week is good. I hope that you can find the strength to keep it up. I'm glad you're getting out while you can. I've met people that have crossed that line where it goes from an addictive habit to a part of you. I knew a kid who took oxy, and he was really fucked up. He couldn't even move, he felt like he was paralyzed. That meant nothing to him. He kept doing it. I'm glad that you're stopping before you reach that point.
 
While really enjoying a moment or going through a depressive moment ,while listening to whatever at that time .Brings back emotions in a big way for me.

forinstance my first girlfriend and spending time with her but also coming down while alone and just remembering or liking one song at that time.

Its been over ten years and i can still remember songs back then.So any songs that are not in one of those moments is great to keep my mind off it.
 
I'm a deadhead, so there are a few that really get me for this specific occasion, all by my favorite band of all time :)

Touch of Grey-
Jerry and Robert Hunter wrote this after Jerry awoke from a heroin induced coma in '86. "I will get by, I will survive!"

Wharf Rat-
Specifically one part...
"But I'll get back on my feet someday,
The good Lord willin', if He says I may.
I know that the life I'm livin's no good,
I'll get a new start, live the life I should.
I'll get up and fly away, I'll get up and fly away, fly away."
 
the whole sixx am album by nikki sixx especially whenever i relapse i listen to accidents can happen
and when im clean i like to listen to life is beautiful
 
Songs are drugs, I mean what else can lift your mood so quickly besides drugs?

But to answer your question, no, I can't think of any specific songs that make me not want to do drugs, my favorites songs make me feel high and whenever I feel high I want to stay high.
 
^ I've got the same problem, a lot of my favorite songs are too strongly associated with drugs and remind me of them and give me strong cravings...
 
^^^ same here, music is a major trigger for me...As much as I love good music[[everything from frank sinatra to naughty by nature,rock is king of the hill though]I have to avoid it at times, it brings up some heavy emotions....
 
after having an ego death mushroom trip, caused by this one particular song, i have never been able to listen to it again. It triggers mass anxiety and paranoia any time i even hear 4 bars of it now. White light by the velvet underground
 
listening to rock/alternative music (which was the genre I grew up listening to) takes my mind off it... cause I've never seen a live band while being on drugs, and never even thought about doing them as a teen.... but house music (which I only started listening to when I began taking stims/partying) is very closely associated with drug activities 8o
 
I kind of like "Come Back Clean" by the Crystal Method... although sometimes it makes me want to use anyways lol
