Hey guys.
Just a quick (and kind of weird) one - there is a psychedelic rock/metal band called 'Tool' and I found many of their song lyrics are helpful for recovering from addictions. Also, the music itself is excellent and can be very calming. If you listen to each song in detail, close your eyes and focus on each instrument it really calms you down and has helped me prevent relapses.
Below I've attached 3 of their songs which I think are most relevant and most useful for stopping urges.
(Note, these are only available on YouTube, they dont put their music on streaming platforms like spotify etc...)
1.) Sober
A song about dealing with addiction, so it's very fitting to our situation.
2.) Parabol/Parabola
Has a nice relaxing intro that would be good to meditate to. The song deals with some deep themes, one of which is being happy to be alive and to not take life for granted.
3.) Stinkfist
A song about desensitization - by doing something over and over again it loses meaning and so we do more extreme things to get the same feeling we had initially - again links to PMO.
Next time you guys get an urge, try lying down, closing your eyes and listening to one of these songs. I think it will help.
Good luck my friends.
