Some of favorites are Switchfoot, U2, Stabbing Westward, and Nine Inch Nails (excluding real vulgar and negative stuff). I may be a bit biased but I like my own stuff too ;) www.returnfrombroken.com. I like a lot of alternative rock and the classics like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, etc.

Anything I can learn from

I started at a young age trying to experience everything because I thought I would miss the "fun" when it came time to "grow up, get a life and a job". Ironically it was the worst time of life and the more I could free myself from it the better my life got! I've had limited success until I found the 12 steps and started going to recovery groups. (Now things keep getting better)

Through my recovery I've been writing an electro-rock concept album about addiction recovery and I'm finally almost finished (www.returnfrombroken.com). Aside from enjoying writing and performing, it's been a big part of helping me maintain sobriety too ;).

Going through recovery has totally opened up my life. It's been more than awesome. Not always perfect, but awesome!
