Two songs in particular come to mind:
“Sober” by Tool
“Weak and Powerless” by A Perfect Circle.
Just the titles alone are self-explanatory. Pretty poignant stuff.

Those are both really good. Saw tool live a couple years ago at aftershock. Needless to say it was amazing.

3 spring to mind for me, the first being Johnny cash,s cover of hurt though not strictly about recovery nor glorifying using that song helped me through my first child turkey heroin detox .
Second would be sober by kc married music and thirdly I can’t recall the name of the song but it is by collichie.

My song suggestion is not directly on point (classic lawyer talk). But I listen to it often as my “one day at a time” anthem. The song is “Now, by Dave Carroll. It is hauntingly soothing and keeps my eye on the prize — one more day sober. Here is the link.

His songs are usually quite calming to me. This one, however, brings up a lot of emotions in me. While I was still actively drinking, but desperately wanting to quit, I’d have to skip it bc I couldn’t handle it.
“And when I find myself down on the floor,
I’ll ask again just what I do this for.”
Great topic BTWđź‘Ť

I’ve never heard that one. Will be adding it to my Playlist 
This is my “get the fuck up and live life” song. It gets me hyped up when I’m feeling low.
