[tigerlily75]

Has anyone heard the katy perry song wide awake? Thats how i feel right now.

[tigerlily75]

I really love music and the songs I think about in addiction and recovery is pink floyds comfortably numb, eminems not afraid and Sara Evans stronger....

Hey everyone!

Glad everyone liked the song! I love music and my tastes are all over. My dream is to work in music somehow!

selfinduced,
I agree, music and sleep are the best drugs! And I'm trying to be positive and selfish as much as I can! I'm glad your feeling balanced and well! Can't wait till I feel like that!

msdelight,
Yes the song is pretty fitting for us all! I hope you enjoyed the YouTube video!

clarityrocks,
your welcome! And never think your crazy! I never do anyway and say what I feel and its freeing! The song is very fitting!

Gnarly,
I'm so happy to hear from you! I'm glad you liked the song! I agree about music these days! I have a very wide taste and variety when it comes to music! And alot of music these days is so meaningless! My parents are bonafide hippies, and I was raised that way, and I'm an old soul and hippie at heart. Everyone tells me that. Its no wonder me and you connected first thing my first time here lol! And I love the video!

I totally agree! Whenever I hear that song, I relate it to my addiction. I thought people would think I I was crazy if I mentioned it, but it totally fits. It always makes me feel stronger as well. Thanks!

Music and sleep are the most powerful drugs on earth to me. They can transform a mood good or bad. Tiger, be sure to surround yourself with positive people right now. I've read your living situation and you certainly don't need to take on others whoas. Be selfish right now. I'm feeling really balanced and well, thanks for asking. Happy to be done with the holidays I must say. You have a beautiful day and relish in the fact that it's another day pill free. Can't wait to see your continued progress.

Thanks self induced! That song has been stuck in my head lately! It seems pretty fitting. I love reading but I love music too, and my kids. Those are my passions! And I'm doing good, except I got up before the sun to have me time, take a bath and listen to music and then maybe read but of course my daughter woke up at same time. Sigh, I need a break and some me time so bad! How are you feeling today?

[selfinduced]

VERY FITTING! Let that be your new theme song. Better days are ahead. Nothing better than being clean and living life with eyes wide open. GO LILY!

And that's not a reference to me not sleeping lol. Its about how my ex and parents and the pills made me feel and how I'm clear headed off pills...

I'm on a cell phone but I'm going to try to type the lyrics so it makes sense.

I'm wide awake
yeah I was in the dark
I was falling hard
with an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong
I'm wide awake
And now its clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

(chorus)
I wish I knew then what I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it sweet
Til I woke up
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah I'm falling from cloud nine

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lions den
I don't have to pretend
And its too late
The storys over now, the end

chorus again

I'm wide awake
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I'm wide awake
God knows that I've tried
Seeing the bright side
I'm wide awake
I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake

chorus again

[selfinduced]

HAHA, Yes, I have. Great song. How are you feeling?
