I hope this thread is allowed...

Can anyone suggest a list of songs to use as motivation to stay clean in general?

Cocaine specific recovery songs even better...

For example...A Team - Ed Sheeran, helps someone I know avoid using because it saddens him as it reminds him what could happen if he spirals back into using.

Thanks :)
 
Maybe not your thing but the song Artpop by Lady Gaga is pretty good when you get its meaning which could be anything, and Dope as well... beyond that Above and Beyond have many tracks - my avatar (which needs changing) is the cover of their Group Therapy album which is something out of this world, and their latest album Peace of Mind, Little Something and Excuses would be good motivational tracks too... just some ideas
 


[Chorus]
From a head full of pressure rest the senses that I clutch
Made a date with divinity, but she wouldn't let me fuck
I got touched by a hazy shade of God-help-me-change
Caught a rush on the floor from the life in my veins
2x

[Verse 1]
It goes one for the cannabis, and two for your Dianetics
Three for the reasoning, and four for those that try to get it
Five for your love and six for the stress
And seven for the day that I climbed into this mess

[Chorus]
From a head full of pressure rest the senses that I clutch
I made a date with divinity, but she wouldn't let me fuck
And I got touched by a hazy shade of God-help-me-change
And caught a rush on the floor from the life in my veins

[Verse 2]
I'm catching ulcers from the child-proof lighters
And all of these fine-tooth biters that keep the wires in my head tighter
I'm tired out by the distances achieved walking in my sleep
Thoughts got shifted since the high got a tad too deep
Ask dad to keep cool, I'll call him back soon as I resume normal
And get out of this bathroom
And call management to seek some reimbursement
For the nerve endings that burnt from the first hits

[Chorus]
From a head full of pressure rest the senses that I clutch
Made a date with divinity, but she wouldn't let me fuck
I got touched by a hazy shade of God-help-me-change
Caught a rush on the floor from the life in my veins
2x

[Verse 3]
So fuck needles, fuck smoke
Fuck lines that make the sinus choke
Fuck chasers, trails, fuck waves and rails
Fuck hangovers, fuck hallucinations
Regurgitations, mandatory sentences and UA tracing
Blind my insight and dull the common sense
Give me inhibition, kill the superstition and the confidence
Built a tolerance, now it's more that I consume
And when it boards up my room, the world's whores will croon in unison
Unify the eulogy
Autopsy pages read euthanasia, i.e. irony
Well, here I be within a pool of my drool
Sedated, windows dilated, comatose, life overdose
Tell Jacob Miles to keep it wild style
I promise I'll smile
And check the floor, God's got nice tile
Tell Jacob Miles to keep that shit wild style
And I'll smile
And check the floor, God's got nice tile

[Chorus]
From a head full of pressure wrest the senses that I clutch
Made a date with divinity, but she wouldn't let me fuck
And I got touched by a hazy shade of God-help-me-change
Caught a rush on the floor from the life in my veins

I don't like the music, but the lyrics are excellent...
 


this song is not necessarily about recovery but has certainly helped me in my own recovery

this song is more spiritual in nature, but is very personal to me, I love this song, means a lot in my life - and steers me away from drugs/alcohol for sure

This song is about a man's relationship with nature and God/life, it's beautiful and meaningful to me


When I walk beside her I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I always stagger back again

Once I built an ivory tower
So I could worship from above
When I climbed down to be set free
She took me in again

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

When she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
When I see her bitter charm
She just throws it back at me

Once I dug an early grave
To find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me
And took her blues back again

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world
Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

When I go to cross that river
She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her hands

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Once I stood to lose her
When I saw what I had done
Bowed down and threw away the hours
Of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn her
I turned to see her weep
Forty days and forty nights
And it's still coming down on me

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard world

^ oh, not good. Anything that has power over you, that encroaches /seems to trump over your choice; demands you to attend to it; with serious thought action, care & nervous system based, wisdom, post haste!
