Unfortunately the previous thread was lost in the shuffle. On the old Pit this was moved.twice. If we can include current songs listened to in our posts we stand a chance of staying put here.
This threads intention is to provide support to those in 12 step recovery and to those who are thinking about making a change in their life. Doesn't matter to me which fellowship you belong to , as I think we can learn something from each other to help us along the path.
Little history about PJ and me. Back when the Boys came on the scene , I was well into my drinking and using. At that time I knew that was a problem , but had no desire or willingness to seek change. Ten just blew me away. So much emotion , Pj doing for me what I couldn't do for myself. I had gotten ahold of the EP tape that had Wash on it. That song held the key , but at the time I was unable/unwilling to use it. What it contained was too scary for me to contemplate.Promptly "lost" that tape.
When Vs. came out I quickly latched onto among other things Elderly Woman. That song just screamed the Alcoholic/addict etc. Brought me to tears cuz I never thought I would get to the point of screaming HELLOOOO!!!
One thing about me was my use ebbed and flowed. When it flowed the music (all) was one of the first things to go. As it ebbed the music was heard again. In '06 music came through loud and clear.
For me treatment was necessry to establish a foundation in recovery. While there , I was made aware of Lost Dogs. On the Dogs disc I met my friend again in Wash. I find that all along I've equated the music in some way to recovery. And now I'm able to use the music as inspiration, a prayer, etc. to help me along the path.
So feel free to share . Again ALL fellowships are welcome here . Let's walk the path together.

Futher NOTE:Initially I felt W and M .... C was a nice QUIET place for this thread. But it was felt that WE couldn't / wouldn't keep it on topic i.e. lyrics and how they've helped. That is still welcome , but in the previous incarnation it got off topic pretty quick. So taking a suggestion I requested the move to AET. SO here we are. I hope you'll find it as easy to post.
