A song for (maybe) all of us, but if even not, a completely righteous song:
I am going to hell for my love of this song, but it’s so honest and excellent.
For those of us who have worked with mental health providers, this is something that we hear, day after day after day. This really is what it’s like to choose to step away from alcohol.
A note - this song is all about alcohol withdrawal, and one of the very temporary cures is heck, more alcohol, as in, “Gimme a Drink”:
Notes from the lyrics:
- “my heart is achin” (tachycardia - rapid and sometimes painful heart rhythm)
- “my hands are shakin” (neurological symptom involving involuntary trembling of extremities)
“Bugs crawlin’ all over me” (neurological sensation of something crawling over your skin - bugs all over your body)
