Songs that got you through and help you through recovery

So everyone knows a song can heal the soul. I am making a playlist for my iPad to get me through my recovery, keep me motivated, and remind me where I was and where I am gonna be. So far on my list ( I have listened to all of these every day since may last pill 4 days ago) 1. Cry out to Jesus by third day - for my spiritual fix. 2. Not afraid by Eminem - makes me wanna take this habit and kick its butt :). 3. The woman I meant to be - keeps me focused on where I am going and 4. Bob Marley " Three little birds" just to lift my spirits.  A very random selection. How about for you?

I'm so glad this post is here, cuz music absolutely helped me get through it. Here's a few songs to give anyone inspiration:

"Mr. Rager" by Kid Cudi (Great song when you are just angry at the world, but mostly at yourself. And it really is about a man, Scott Mescudi, who has clearly been through a lot of the same "issues" we are dealing with. It will make you feel ten feet tall)

"Ambition" by Wale (It's about a kid from the ghetto that will do anything to make it out, but it def applies)

"Efflictim" by Kid Cudi (The words speak for themselves. It's a man pondering his own death and missed opportunities to love the people closest to him, and be loved)

Those were the three songs that really got me through and I would recommend them to everyone. I have more, but that's a good start.
