Many people like listening to music. Lyrics are just words in a song. But to some people the lyrics can trigger your addiction. For example some rappers like singing about and glamorizing drugs. Take for instance my all time favorite rapper Mac Miller; most of his songs had to do with drugs. If a regular person listened to his songs they probably won't go out and try the drugs he's talking about in his songs but an addict would be like "Well if he is doing this I should try it also." Being in recovery from drugs it's hard for me to listen to any rapper talking about drugs. That goes the same for other singers. Another example Mickey avalon. Pretty much all of his songs are about doing drugs. I mean CA crack cocaine? What do you think that songs going to be about lol? For people that are early in recovery it might not be the best idea to listen to songs that have to do with drugs. That's just my opinion.
Songs about recovering from addiction on the other hand are different like for instance a couple of rappers that sing about recovery are Chris Webby and MGK. Although both of them in sure still smoke weed.
In conclusion; if you're still early in recovery and don't have a lot of self restraint try to lower the ways you can get triggered and see if that works. Even though you'd be cutting out some of your favorite artists. This past Monday I celebrated 6 months of sobriety. I still have a lifetime ahead of myself but it's a small step in the right direction. Everyone can get sober if they truly want to. I believe in everybody.
