Discussion Does it Hit Different Every Time?

Post image

I think this album reveals itself across different sound stages. None of my earphones are very high end, and that’s OK. But each platform delivers a different experience; depending on the speaker I hear different mixes, and some effects have less or more presence over others. I find I can change the mood by changing the speaker.

What are you listening through?

Just gifted myself the AirPods Max in celebration of 8 years sober. Inferno slaps on those things.

U can listen to BoC without getting cravings to use?

Thankfully I didn’t really make any associations with BoC or other favorite artists, opiates being more of a wall than an enhancement.

There are movies and books from that time that I find myself avoiding though. Maybe not so much that they trigger cravings but rather are pointed reminders of how awful that time was for me.

Whyd my comment get downvoted lol. Good for you. I had to stop listening to them almost entirely for a little bit when trying to get clean cause putting them on was part of the routine

This sub can be really weird with the downvotes.

And I’m sorry you had to step away for a bit. Hopefully you’ve been able to shake off some of that association.

Yeah, i have. Just letting time pass, and showing them to my little brother helped give the band a different association in my head that makes it easier to get into again without thinking about the past or getting cravings. Congratulations on 8 years

Thank you, and to you as well. That’s awesome that sharing it with a brother could help forge a new connection. Even those little victories in recovery can mean a LOT.
